  1. I'd love to see how you take the dogs with the bike! any Pics?
  2. Its a proven fact that 83.5% of all statistics are just made up!
  3. would that be because she would be her cousin too????
  4. That is because we do NOT have a "JUSTICE" system....we have a "LEGAL" system. Unfortunately, Justice has very little to do with it. If you don't believe me...just think of some high profile cases where EVERYONE knew the defendant was guilty...but got off on a "technicality" of the law
  5. my bike moves like that sometimes....but then I regain control and I"m ok once again!
  6. Thie biggest thing I found was to ensure my wife learned to SIT STILL at low speeds or when stopped...and not to get on or off until I was braced and ready for her. She learned the hard way....she went to climb on once when I wasn't ready and we very nearly ended up on our side! Same thing...we were at a stop light and she decided she wanted to get something out of her purse that was over her shoulder. Instead of centering her purse, she "reached around" to get it and almost put us over.
  7. It was thru a search engine. I actually paid to join "the other one"...but found this one is much better, people are friendlier, and overall just more enjoyable.
  8. Dingy is what you might call a professional:smile5: DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME!
  9. Now be nice....I did notice a few teddy bears at Don's MD!
  10. between MK I and MKII? I got all these parts for the 83 and now I just bought 88 wondering if any of these will fit (I'm thinking yes to all) collectors? solid motor mounts? condor superbrace? carb diaphrams? antidive block off plates?
  11. ArcsandSparks just likes living up to his name......creating sparks from FRICTION!
  12. Looking good! Hope you have many happy and SAFE miles on her!
  13. I'm hoping to ride the bike back...and tow the trailer behind it. It's located about 40-50 miles W. of Chicago.
  14. So there would be no record of me taking a trailer INTO the US....but then I'm driving one out with Ontario Plates? Why don't I just put the plate off my burgandy 84 on the new bike and ride across like nothing has happenend? Thanks Carl...but I think I'll keep it legal!
  15. OUCH!
  16. If I have to pay the Registration fee ($195) for the trailer I might be better off just selling it down there and buying a Harbor Freight trailer. I already have a carrier I can mount on it. I'll be looking into it all after the holiday's over....if I do sell the trailer....any offers? Ebay item # 110707308624
  17. What, exactly is that?
  18. What have I gone and done!!!!:mo money: I just bought this....not a BAD price...not spectacular. ebay ad # 110707308624 Now...can anybody tell me what I have to do to bring a bike and trailer to Canada from the states? That makes 3!!!!!
  19. Translation = camper trailer just helping!
  20. if you had a first gen (Mk I) you could just pop off a saddle bag and make a vertical mount for the golf bag.
  21. I mistakenly set mine for "shortest distance" instead of "fastest route" (I have a cheap model LG) Instead of staying on the highway, it wanted me to cut corners by going thru residential surveys!....shorter distance....MUCH longer time.
  22. This makes no sense at all. The PO installed running lights. a wire comes off the fuse block to a switch...then to the lights. Simple right? So why does turning on the running lights cause my sidestand warning to come on? Not right away....and not after any kind of predictable time. They come on after a random time period...but will stay on until I turn off the running lights. Turning off the running lights turns off the red warning light and computer graphic. Turn on the running lights and the warnings come back on...sometimes right away....sometimes not for quite awhile. When this warning comes on, it does not kill the engine( it works as it should when the side stand IS actually down) Its only a minor annoyance....but it's got me completely baffled!
  23. Life Explained!! On the first day, God created the dog and said, "Sit all day by the door of your house and bark at anyone who comes in or walks past. For this, I will give you a life span of twenty years." The dog said, "That's a long time to be barking How about only ten years and I'll give you back the other ten?" So God agreed... On the second day, God created the monkey and said, "Entertain people, do tricks, and make them laugh. For this, I'll give you a twenty-year life span." The monkey said, "Monkey tricks for twenty years? That's a pretty long time to perform. How about I give you back ten like the dog did?" And God agreed... On the third day, God created the cow and said, "You must go into the field with the farmer all day long and suffer under the sun, have calves and give milk to support the farmer's family. For this, I will give you a life span of sixty years." The cow said, "That's kind of a tough life you want me to live for sixty years. How about twenty and I'll give back the other forty?" And God agreed, again… On the fourth day, God created humans and said, "Eat, sleep, play, marry and enjoy your life. For this, I'll give you twenty years." But the human said, "Only twenty years? Could you possibly give me my twenty, the forty the cow gave back, the ten the monkey gave back, and the ten the dog gave back; that makes eighty, okay?" "Okay," said God. "You asked for it." So that is why for our first twenty years, we eat, sleep, play and enjoy ourselves. For the next forty years, we slave in the sun to support our family. For the next ten years, we do monkey tricks to entertain the grandchildren. And for the last ten years, we sit on the front porch and bark at everyone. Life has now been explained to you. There is no need to thank me for this valuable information. I'm doing it as a public service. If you are looking for me, I will be on the front porch.
