IF WOMEN ONLY TRUSTED THEIR HUSBANDS! There comes a time when a woman just has to trust her husband... For example... A wife comes home late at night, and quietly opens the door to her bedroom. From under the blanket she sees four legs instead of two. She reaches for a baseball bat and starts hitting the blanket as hard as she can. Leaving the covered bodies groaning, she goes to the kitchen to have a drink. As she enters, she sees her husband there, reading a magazine. "Hi Darling", he says, "Your parents have come to visit us, so I let them stay in our bedroom. Did you say "hello"?

Help is always appreciated even when not needed. The door is always open

No... you still need the key on for it to start. You can flip the switch and everything will power up, it'll even crank but, it won't start without the key on.

Here's a few shots of my winter mess

Got er done. I didn't need the BFH after all, seems there's 2 screws going to the top clamp from the inner fairing stay that nobody ever mentioned except in my phone conversation with Randy (RickardRacing), once those were removed it came apart with just a few taps. Thanks Randy. I ended up going 1" , it feels better sitting on it, a ride after the salt is washed off the roads will tell the story. 3 1/2 hours start to finish, with a few phone call breaks. The hardest part of the job was getting out there to do it .

Just checked top neck bearing, still had grease on it but I added a bit more. Retorque neck then reassemble. Piece of cake.

I'm only lowering 3/4-7/8. Top clamp bolts are loose but I can't get it to come up and off time to get out the BFH & beat on it

Just got back, all tools in hand, 2 sets that cover 3mm-17mm. I have the FSM so here we go, wish me luck

I'm going to lower the front end today. I don't have any hex sockets for re-torquing the tree clamp bolts, I'm going to go buy some today, does anyone know what size the clamping bolts are? Want to be sure I have the correct sizes on hand for re-assembly.

Stay tuned to this thread, Carbon One has 4 different latches to try out, the most promising is a locking push button. I'm sure he'll chime in soon enough.

The kids went for a ride, I declined, citing the above reason. It was real hard to do too. Shiny farkles don't like salt dust.

Now stay away from angry Mexicans with guns and you should be OK. Don't be too hard on the instructors this weekend, they learn better when you treat them as equals

I think that as long as the angle of both joints are the same and phased correctly, vibration should not be a problem as long as the assembly was balanced correctly. Vertical travel is minimal so angles should not change much with extension and compression of the suspension. Correct suspension geometry will keep the angles pretty much static. I have a program that allows you to plug in differing setups (3 link vs. 4 link) and see how it effects driveline angle.

Ya can't leave us hanging like that Squid give us newbies a history lesson, please. :stickpoke:

My 2001 RSV has the whine, not bad and only at the top of 2nd & 3rd gears while on the throttle, adjusting the throttle opening or shifting gears makes it go away, so will turning up the radio. Our 2008 RSV trike has no sign of it, it's a crap shoot. All in all you'll love the bike.

Keep up the good work Justin.

I ran that test, once. I still walk with a limp

Three Italian nuns die and go to heaven of course At the Pearly Gates, they are met by St. Peter. He says, "Sisters, you all led such exemplary lives that the Lord is granting you six months to go back to earth and be anyone you wish to be." The first nun says, "I want to be Sophia Loren;" And *poof* she's gone. The second says, "I want to be Madonna" and *poof* she's gone. The third says, "I want to be Sara Pipalini.." St. Peter looks perplexed. "Who?" he asks "Sara Pipalini;" replies the nun. St. Peter shakes his head and says, "I'm sorry, but that name just doesn't ring a bell." The nun then takes a newspaper out of her habit and hands it to St. Peter. St. Peter reads the paper and starts laughing. He hands it back to her and Says. "No sister, the paper says it was the 'Sahara Pipeline' that was laid by 1,400 men in 6 months." If you laugh, you are going straight to he11!

During a visit to my doctor, I asked him, "How do you Determine whether or not an older person should be put in a Nursing Home?" "Well," he said, "we fill up a bathtub, then we offer a Teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to the person to empty the bathtub." "Oh, I understand," I said. "A normal person would use the Bucket because it is bigger than the spoon or the teacup." "No" he said. "A normal person would pull the plug. Do you Want a bed near the window?" DO YOU WANT THE BED NEXT TO MINE?

A man was washed up on a beach after a shipwreck. Only a sheep and a sheepdog were washed up with him. After looking around, he realized that they were stranded on a deserted island. After being there awhile, he got into the habit of taking his two animal companions to the beach every evening to watch the sunset. One particular evening, the sky was a fiery red with beautiful cirrus clouds, the breeze was warm and gentle - a perfect night for romance. As they sat there, the sheep started looking better and better to the lonely man. Soon, he leaned over to the sheep and put his arm around it. But the sheepdog, ever protective of the sheep, growled fiercely until the man took his arm from around the sheep. After that, the three of them continued to enjoy the sunsets together, but there was no more cuddling. A few weeks passed by and, lo and behold, there was another shipwreck. The only survivor was Nancy Pelosi. That evening, the man brought Nancy to the evening beach ritual. It was another beautiful evening - red sky, cirrus clouds, a warm and gentle breeze perfect for a night of romance. Pretty soon, the man started to get those "feelings" again. He fought the urges as long as he could but he finally gave in and leaned over to Nancy and told her he hadn't had sex for months. Nancy batted her eyelashes and asked if there was anything she could do for him. He asked, "Take the dog for a walk?"

I just got my diploma from the Nigerian School of Surgical Medicine, it was a grueling 12 week course, it would have been 8 weeks, but the mail service in Nigeria is a bit slow. If it wasn't for the new Affordable Health Care Act this would never have been possible. I could use the practice, if you want your shoulder fixed sooner. I just got all my surgical tools from a great seller on flea bay.

Larry, Sorry for your loss. Please accept our condolences to you and your family. As far as death certificates go, when mom passed, I needed 6 copies to send out. When my dad passed I only got 3 copies and still have 2 of them, so I'd say 3-4 is normally enough, you can always get more if needed. It was only my sister and I so there was no disagreement.

I just googled them, cute little buggers they are. House pets ?

Why ruin that unique look with paint! As is, you'd never have trouble spotting your ride at the rally
