Joe Riley Stadium home of the Charleston River Dogs also the place where they filmed Major League Back to the minors.

If you need a hand give me a shout.

I had it bad last year, the bike was parked for two weeks straight I thought I would go insane..

Talked to Leo and they made it too Savannah, I was going to meet up with them but the weather is crappy and I am a wimp in thunderstorms. His wife asked him to leave his laptop behind so he asked me to let everyone know they were safe and sound waiting on the rest of the group. He says they had a great ride through the mountains and everyone had been great.

Why are the motorcycle wheels turning and the trailers is not?

Take a look at this one, I think it may be it http://www.corsa-technic.com/item.php?item_id=337&category_id=54 http://www.hellotrade.com/senz-group-wan-chai/pin-plug-male.html#22486334

They got cheaper only $50 bucks now http://www.yamaha-motor.com/sport/accessories/acscitemdetail/5/429/1785/12892/all/1/6193/0/detail.aspx the ad says it is for a snowmobile but it is the same plug. I am going to look on Mouser to see if I can find the plug itself, if anyone has it they will.

I ran across the power outlet that it plugs into once and I want to say it was around $150 I will see if I can find it again.

Thanks for the heads up and I wll put my two cents worth in too, the hooks tend to bend eaiser as they age and will not hold as much before they let loose.

Way to go shipmate!!! and good work to the pygmies also.

Looks good to me

I got one of those once so I called the guy up, his wife answered so I asked if he was in London she yelled across the room and asked her husband so I assumed the answer was no I wrote the imposter back telling him I had sent the money to the local police station and he could pick it up there never heard back form him for some reason.

Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

Your welcome on both counts, I also looked the plug up on Bike Bandit and the Yamaha P/N is PLUG,BLIND ,(5MT6) 1148148 $2.94 a piece.

I bought mine from an auto parts store real cheap they called them vacum caps Yamaha P/N is PLUG,BLIND ,(5MT6) 1148148

Snide ccomments on here? Never

A radio station in Norfolk did a piece on the same thing awhile back and it was amazing how much some of these folks brought in. I use to carry a couple of Mcdonald gift certificates around with me and I found out the ones who only want cash are usally the ones that don't really need it. I have bought a few meals for folks too, maybe I am just too naive sometimes.

It's made by one of the guys on the Venturers fourm and from what I have heard it works pretty good.

Glad you are only sore and a little bruised, if anything starts hurting or does not stop hurting make sure you go back to the doc and don't let them skimp again glad you are ok.

Hope you can get it cleared up and get out to ride. I rode up to Columbia and back in a very indirect way Saturday and I was almost yellow from pollen when I got home.
