    I'd be out riding if it weren't for the generous layer of salt the county seasoned the roads with. This target could have been hit at anytime, I didn't say it had to be single digits.

    So what's this mean Joe ? You wouldn't be backing out of your commitment to buy MY trailer would ya? You gonna pull that with your Prius ? They say those electric motors have lots of torque. Sweet looking trailer. Where we going ?

    I have 2 pellet pistols, 1 is an old Benjamin the other a Sheridan, both are rifled barrel .177 cal. Either of these will drive tacks at 25-30 yards and do great at pickin off the pests. I prefer the Benjamin, 4 pumps gets their attention, 9-10 pumps and it's lights out. Rifles are a bit faster and more accurate but harder to conceal from nosy neighbors .

    Just replaced ours after 14 years. The disposer still ran but one of the pins that held one of the paddles broke and threw it out of ballance. Put a 1 1/2 HP unit in that is quiet and will make iron car parts disappear! Way better than the 3/4 Hp taht died.

    The best price I have found is at http://www.ronayers.com/Fiche/TypeID/26/Type/Motorcycle/MakeID/4/Make/Yamaha Don't know what shipping might be. A call to them would be a good idea.

    Hate to kick a dead horse here but, kj5ix , that tank sure looks like more than 4 gallons. I was hoping to get 7-10 gallons in a reserve tank. Is there room under the body to fabricate a larger tank ? Pulling a trailer will put an even bigger hit on the mpg's .

    OK, now that you have it running, what are you going to power with it ? Might I suggest an old Radio Flyer wagon that you could use to run to the store in. A Road King pipe may make it sound better.

    Been there, done that.... Don't want to do it again ! Mine wasn't as long a slope but still did major damage that was not cheap to fix. The worst part was it came to rest nose down into a tree and I couldn't pull it up and off the tree, I had to cut the tree down with the small hand chain saw I kept in my emergency pack in the trunk.

    I think I could reach the ground flat footed on that thing!

    Joe, You go sit in the corner It's not nice teasing the Northerners like that.

    This part is no longer available I sent out at least 100 emails to dealers all over the country looking for a set, got back a few replies saying the are not available. They are available for Royal Stars but are different, no notch for the idle speed knob. Good luck with the search and if you find them and they have 2, buy them both and I'll take a set. I tried calling Preferred Power sports last month and their phone is dis-connected.

    The globe feature only works when I'm using IE. I am using Chrome almost exclusively and the globe mapping feature does not work in Chrome.

    You may want to be wearing a helmet when you do that.

    Back in the late summer (Aug-Sept) of 2010 we were riding through Yellowstone and got caught in a snow storm, just enough to cover the roads with an inch or so, the RSV handled it much better than I did The worst part of it was the wet snow that piled up on the windshield blocking my view of the road. It was at dusk and had been raining for the past hour when it turned to snow, I had to stand on the boards and wipe the snow off several times. We made it to West Yellowstone, where we had a room waiting, cold , wet , hungry and tired. We also got snowed on earlier in the day on top of beartooth pass. I was there in '09 and it was near 100* ! What a difference a year makes.

    OK... if it doesn't get hit within a week then it's your turn to set the target
  17. ragtop69gs
    I had thought this would have been won by a bird hunter or fisherman quickly. At everyone's request, I will set a new target.. If you remember back to summer, we had a target of you, your bike and the highest temp on a thermometer, since it's now approaching winter let's change it to the above target only with the LOWEST TEMP. Please be careful in attaining this target, frostbite or falling on the ice is cause for disqualification. Happy riding.

    Yep, this forum does cost WAY more than the $12 I was led to believe when I joined. I'm always reading about others upgrades then saying to me self, I gotta do that too :mo money: Kinda sounds like you have more invested in the lights and horns than the bike cost !

    What is it with you and LIGHTS ? First the house, then the car! What's next? Please don't mess with the big light in the sky.

    Is there a difference between a coal and wood burning stove? I have an air tight wood stove in my Heatilator fireplace. The stove is firebrick lined.

    I sent a request for a demo ride. Don't think I'd buy one but I will try it out.

    Groundhogs are skittish, sneaky buggers, the best way to get them is to learn there habits which isn't hard, they seem to have the same routine day to day. Setup as far as possible from them, with a clear straight shot with a safe background incase you miss your shot. You need to be waiting for them, be a still as possibe because they will run if they see you. I stand in our indoor porch with the door already open waiting for my shot when it sticks it's head/ body out from under the barn wall. We get 1 and another takes it's place within day's.

    Go back to the scene tomorrow and look for the blood trail. If you hit him good he's probably not to far off the road. They run a little way then lay down, usually they'll bleed out while laying there. Sorry about the truck. That's an expensive way to get venison.
