Long Weekend Motorcycle Trip to the Florida Keys
djh3 replied to MonsterBiker's topic in Watering Hole
From the looks, you should have been eatin the bait and to heck with that fishin thing. I would like to take a ride down that way. I'm over in Sebring off US 27. last time we drove down it was better than 8 hours driving to get home. Traffic was SLOW coming off the Keys. Glad you had a good trip. -
I'll take the vacation. Thanks.

I bought a pair of wired in ear monitors (similar) device to replace my custom ear monitors that craped the bed. I can tell you the advancement in these type devices has jumped a bunch since I had bought my other ones. Only trouble I have is ocasionaly I will have an ear pad dislodge the monitor. I didnt go BT because I am using my SENA and bike for comms

So I'm not an engineer but have been around motorsports for years. So different series of cars run different fuels. Some what we call "pump gas" Usually the rule states something like fuel from readily available stations or something like that. Some use special race gas like VP or Sunoco but if checked they could get disqualified. But a local track cant do that anyways. Our rules for Legends cars said something like this and gave an octane rating. I just went to the airport and bought "can gas" 110 low lead. Some run straight up alcohol. They run cooler engine temps and make plenty of power, and may make more than an equal "gas" engine. But they burn almost twice as much fuel for same distance of race. For our street use mixing ethanol creates problems because it traps water and does some really bad things. My suspicion why they dont change to the Iso stuff is cost to retrofit plants and maybe wont need as much corn or whatever they are making the ethanol from. Brazil has been on mixed fuel for years and it works for them and they dont have much problems. And they are not using up resources you can eat. They use the husks and other things

Sharing my review of the Sena 10S Bluetooth - excellent communication!
djh3 replied to VentureFar's topic in Watering Hole
Can it still music share? My Victory I had to add a connection to "broadcast" bluetooth music, GPS from bike. So the harness had 2 plugs for a OEM BT transmitter @ like $100 a piece when you could find them. The VIctory is the only bike that uses this particular module. So once I read my SMH 10 would share the same music signal I only got on broadcast module.- 5 replies

Yea biggest problem with an over amount is the indigestion from doritos

No info on your exact subject but a small comment. My son "could" probably be one of those that would benefit from its medical use and can qualify for a card here in Fla. But with his business he would like to purchase a firearm and obtain a conceal permit. Both of which if he has a medical card he can not do once he gets the card. He could get the firearma nd permit then get the card. But he is worried they could revoke it once he gets the card.

How bad would it be shipping wise if you picked up one of the pelican type case from harbor freight?

Year around job here in Fla

Still trying to figure out which, what how this lets me find my way around. But I understand its kind of like trying to make anything run on windows 98. One of my Victory sites I frequent had to change over a year or so back. I'm still tryin to figure it out.

Lowering front forks with or without Baron's lower kit
djh3 replied to revpat's topic in General Tech Talk
I did the front forks, and it helped me out a ton. The Barrons kit you need some kind of longer brake arm or something too. It probably is all included in the kit. But I would say try the free option first. -
One of biggest riding pet peeves almost killed me today.
djh3 replied to grubsie's topic in Watering Hole
When I lived in Oklahoma, they use to "resurface" some county and secondary roads by what they called "tar and chip". OMG no warning you run up on it and they had poured a coat of hot tar then chips of stone on top about 2" thick. Cars would drive over and eventually you had a somewhat better surface. But hit that on a bike and you were in a world of mess. Even a few days later you would have trenches where wheel ran and rock built up in center of lane. When we ride up in the mountains all those corners I have to keep eyes peeled from folks cutting corner and kicking up gravel and dirt. -
VIDEO OF AIR FORCE ONE LEAVING MUSKEGON MI TINY AIRPORT!! AMAZING!!
djh3 replied to cowpuc's topic in Watering Hole
Well Puc, I think the monster thing was after the year I was up there. I think the demonstration team was the Bud Lite folks. They were pretty impressive in the airplanes they had. I have seen the Thunderbirds and Blue Angles over the years and I was impressed with those little aircraft and precision. -
VIDEO OF AIR FORCE ONE LEAVING MUSKEGON MI TINY AIRPORT!! AMAZING!!
djh3 replied to cowpuc's topic in Watering Hole
I did an air show there back in the 80's with my C-141b. It aint no small jet for sure. We landed there in Muskegon and were one of the first as we were large. Then some smaller jets and my assistant crew chief and I helped tow and park a bunch of aircraft A-10 OV-10 and I think a C-130 showed up. Lots of civilian aircraft that were neat too. I think it was 86. WE hung out a bunch after hours at a place called Sandy's homestead inn. They actually met us at the air show the day we got there and was like our "host" for the afternoon. -
I had to send an SOS to MA1mech to make sure it wasnt me messin supthin up.

Looks good. I have rode a couple on test ride days when they bring the truck. But I am not a big fan of the front fender and the leather trimmed ones. But I could probably learn to live with it. LOL I really like the handling of my Victory Cross Tour vs the RSV but the ride aint quite the same.
-
I hope so. I'm ridin a Victory and it looks like we could make this. Depending on when school starts back for me. This year I didnt have to be back until the 17th.

The HD tour mufflers are a good compromise. And budget friendly if you swing by your local HD dealer.

I have made a couple runs around here with them, no say hour rides yet. But so far I think they work well. Its not complete silence like some imagine. If its a Prius yea you dont hear it, but the ear plugs them self reduce noise by 26db if I read this stuff right. Any how I bought another batch of the mold stuff as a stand by in case I think I need to remold. I imagine the more $$ you spend on the IEM the better quality sound. I am happy so far with the ones I got for the money. My radio SUCKS, heck even the station that is a few blocks from the house is bad most days. I pod is great.

NAPA oil filters are made by Wix, so they are one of the best on the block.

So California just outlawed gasoline powerd cars.......
djh3 replied to Flyinfool's topic in Watering Hole
When I read this today I was like "WTF??" Then common sense took over, California will be broken off into the ocean or burnt to a crisp by then. So I did not read the article. Does it say they will not licence gas burning vehicles after that? Just go to Nevada and buy a car. -
Post a pic and some of us may be able to identify it for you.

I would agree. For the most part my stuff is delivered without issue. Boarder crossing has always been slow.

Britches have kept me dry in almost all rainstorms. The jacket when I have got wet is usually from around the neck area.
