heated gloves or a jacket.

First Gear makes some rubber gloves that look like dishwashing gloves, except thicker. They are the only gloves that will keep your hands 100% dry. I wear a pair of fleece hunting gloves under them for warmth and to keep sweat at bay. I have tried many so-called waterproof riding gloves, none work as good as the rubber gloves.

ragtop69gs replied to 1joeranger's topic in Watering Hole
like others have said, barring ice, salt or snow I'll ride. Temperature does not matter. I'm just north of Detroit. -

beads in tire balancers
ragtop69gs replied to Seaking's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
To each their own. Dyna Beads are like oil discussions , each, either likes or Dis-likes the product under discussion for various reasons. I don't see any concensus one way or the other with respect to using dyna beads and I certainly don't attack others for the choices they make, They work for me so I use them.- 30 replies

Tunnel of trees is a nice ride, I think it's M-22. Try to ride it during the week, it gets crowded on weekends, same with Leggs Inn. Pictured Rocks National shoreline is nice, you need to take the boat ride to see it. Mackinac Island is another good day trip. Take the ferry over and enjoy a day with no vehicles. There are bikes, buggies and horses, but, NO gas powered transportation.

beads in tire balancers
ragtop69gs replied to Seaking's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
I have been using dyna beads for the last 5 years, in 3 different tires and they have always held a good balance for me. Never had any interior tire damage from them. Seat of the pants test tells me they are working. No cupping or unusual wear.- 30 replies

You are right. I didn't think about cross border shipping. Thanks anyhow. Guess I'll order it up after the 1st of the year. -

If you're not going to use the balancing kit, would you like to sell it ? I've been wanting to add that kit to my bike, just been to lazy to order it up. -
Be aware that you need alot of room to use the Kinect.

What we bought - a folowup to "What should we buy"
ragtop69gs replied to SilvrT's topic in Watering Hole
I hope you get 1,000,000 trouble free Km. enjoy the new ride. -
Saltydog, Murphy's oil soap works great as a tire lube and you can get it most everywhere. Many truck tire places buy it by the drum. Lubes tires and cleans your hands.

Every pair of expensive sunglasses I ever owned either ended up in the bottom of the lake or run over by Hi-Lo's at work Now I buy tinted safety glasses from the local auto supply for $4.50 a pair, wouldn't ya know... they never get dropped in the lake or run over.

Maybe this will help you. I am a Chrysler corp. retiree who worked in the Dodge City complex making Dodge/Ram trucks for 32 years. If you decide on a new Ram truck I can get you an employee discount. If you are interested PM me and we can talk about it.

Looks to me like you have a good law suit against the trailer and ramp manufacturer, none of this could have been avoided. After all there was no warning sticker on the trailer or ramps.

I would say you bought the WRONGsnowblower. Mine loves the wet heavy stuff, throws it 50-60 feet Put that blower away and get the snowmobile out and play in the

I'd do it. Those guy's make some great money when they go that high.

Another winter storage question
ragtop69gs replied to ragtop69gs's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
I was always under the assumption that light bulbs only absorbed darkness, I wasn't aware that they do the same for condensation -
Another winter storage question
ragtop69gs replied to ragtop69gs's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
No cover on it. I don't get it, my tractor sits right next to it but never gets condensation. It must be that condensation is attracted to chrome or something.
