Congrats. Now for the 2 questions that have to be asked. 1: Does this mean this is going to be your new primary ride and we wont be seeing you anymore? 2:Did they also hand you the 1099 to go with it for taxes? He Don maybe you found your grand prize you been looking for.

I lived in the Southwest corner for almost 20yr. And I can guarantee down there the weather changes faster than the wife's mind in the spring. It will be 100 deg and the clouds start rollin and next thing you know sky is sort of green and temp drops 20 deg or so and it gets ugly fast. Most of the time down there in summer just hot like over 100 hot all summer. Fla has been hot this year and humid even here in center of state

I put a Hagon on Retiredgolfers bike for him. I sure could tell the difference on his bike for sure. But even the difference between his and mine was noticeable.

Check with one of your local "paintless dent repair" outfits. They can roll out some pretty ugly dents in cars I never thought would be right again.

So Jason, One of the members I know here has asked me similar questions for him to get Aux input. I have a second gen so mine is easy. I have read a few posts on this. What about making essentially a extension cord and wiring in an Aux port on it. Would that work or would you not get the input thru the amp?

Semi On your vest predickament. Find a bungee cord thats not to tight to wrap around your middle and put it over the vest. Should keep it from flapping as much. Or visit a local seamstress and see if they can split up sides and put a couple eyelets in it to adjust. May have to fold over or something to get small enough. But how come you bought the king kong size? Is there only one store in town that sells them? I got mine a nice BILT from Cycle Gear on sale for around $20. Heres one from Jafrum for under $30

Its coming my friend. I bet its hard to find an umbrella out there huh?

Puc, my guess is thats a 750 Honda, circa 1973 ish

Man I dont know about them things. I'm afraid I would have so much stuff in there it would be poppin wheelies.

I thought I had read somewhere Arlen Ness had something to do with the building of the bikes for that movie.

Mike Road Runner is the only magazine I have kept a subscription to for over like 5 yr. Good articles, loads of different trips maps etc. for $30 a year I enjoy it. Watch for specials and you can get it a bit cheaper and I think they give us a discount anyways. Sure helps the winter months go by easier.

Yup I seen it. But it was privately built. Probably used a HD for the same reason most short track race cars are Chevy. Lots of them around cheap. And that thing was down right scary looking. Kind of like a piece of plywood with a chair and steering wheel on it if I remember right.

I guess its silicon. Anyways the stuff is sort of gel like and is for O rings. Got some for the pool strainer lids and such.

Could have sworn I saw that bike last year @ Wheels through Time in Maggie. Those 60-70 style choppers were all the rage, but most were terrible to ride. I never rode one I'm going off what a couple of guys I knew in them days told me. That is definitely a history piece, kind of like the Steve Mcqueen bike from great escape.

Since reading this the other night I thought about several things. And as was mentioned some either have it or dont care to. But now the Gas Card or a Visa,Mastercard or simular type card might be a good idea. Then they could use it for gas or lodging of their choice, a trip or whatever. From experience one thing to watch is an expiration date on the cards or a fee to "turn them on" Or you could give them lifetime membership here.

Glad to hear they are working out. Also you have to remember the headsets you replaced were old. Newer tech has come out and been rolled into the ones you bought. Less impedance and better mics all make for a upgrade to the product you had.

Down here in the Fla area we have a real problem with what is referred to as "love bugs" Now as the story goes this major university in Gainesville created these things to eat mosquito larvae. but because they are a laboratory bug nothing eats them. So their only enemy is a car, truck etc. They come and go in like 2 week cycles in the fall and spring and move in sort of a wave from one end of the state to the other. The best thing I have found to get them off your car, bike whatever is a bucket of water and a bounce sheet. I'm sure it would work for other bugs also. I sure wish we could ship some of these up to Wisconsin to help with their skeeter control.

I have rode some nice stuff in Northern Kentucky and western WV. RoadRuner Mag did a couple of rides I can get the GPS stuff that went around Mich and one that was Ohio River Valley Had some nice points of interest. Heres a Detroit to over by Toronto. Wheeling West Virginia area. I have done some of the Bonzi tours like that. Ride 12 hr a day to get there and have some much crammed into the day its not relaxing, only to know you have to ride like the dickens to get back home.

Kirby, if they are looking into watercraft, I sure hope they do a better job that they did with snowmobiles.

Does Tony have attitude yea. Did the kid? Probably and thats why he thought he would get out and "give a piece of his mind" or something like that. Sprint cars are a different animal and turn nothing like your street car. Throttle must be used to make them turn as both rear wheels drive and have no slip, thus the larger tire on one side. I agree with the fellow posting some of the general rules of racing. I was told from the time I started racing short tracks dont get out of the car if disabled unless its an emergency. You are better off if someone else looses control to be strapped in. Here's another thought the car in front of Tony's had to swerve at the last moment to miss him, so possibly Tony did even see him until way past the point of no return. Vision is limited out the right side of these cars by the wing. (see attached pic) If the family brings a civil suit (which I bet they do because I mean its Tony Stewart and he is loaded right) That opens a whole new can of worms for short track racing. So now a gy get his car wrecked on a Sat night and takes the guy that wrecked him to court monday to fix and repair his race car? Come on folks. Tony went to these tracks because he enjoyed it and had fun.Plus it helped the small time track owners ull a few more folks in the gate to watch and helped the guy pay the bills. Now thats all going out the window. Sorry for carrying on. But I have signed many a pit release form in my day, and I basically new the rules going in. Its a dangerous place not a playground. http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--jSIv-9T5--/c_fit,fl_progressive,q_80,w_636/czhwmyu6vugbqv5vcgel.png

Possibly anyone have a used piece they would offer up? I mean your selling the bike and I understand not wanting to pass on a lemon. But a good salvage piece if got right price wise may be the ticket.

Heres a pic Ahribi just posted about getting out to ride. And I noticed he had the same bag. You might ask him what he did. http://i278.photobucket.com/albums/kk100/aharbi/Motorcycle/P9147086r.jpg~original

235cid in 53. 235 6 cyl "Blueflame" 3 Carter Sidedraft carbs. 150 hp with a powerglide of all things. LOL

LOL yea kind of. If bike was white it would probably work better. I was thinking about hooking up the headlight modulator to the passing lights, but some how thats probably not a good idea, huh?

:rotf: I like that one. Reminds me of the "Officer, I'm not speeding I'm qualifying"
