Hey good for you. Keep up the good work.

Those are nice pics Dave. Enjoy your trip.

I will be in Nova scotia that day.

Have a nice trip Dave. I left sat morning took a scenic ride up past parry sound across 124 were I stopped at a friends cottage. Went into Dunchurch by boat to watch the fireworks and then back home getting home at 3:30 this morning

There's a bread making machine? Why doesn't anyone ever tell me these things? I just spent the last 40 years working my butt off to pay the bills and now you tell me all I had to do was get me bread making machine.

Like the other older guy above:backinmyday:. I unfortunately will not be able to join in either, as it is my Grandsons Birthday also. I hope you all have a great and safe ride.

Depending on the type of damage it may be repairable. If you remember my accident in 2007 I could not find a good cowling but did find a partial at Zedno's. I cut both and joined the good sections with plastex and fiberglass cloth making one good one. So far none have been able to find the joint nor has it developed any cracks. P/S you could try checking Zednos to see what they may have and how much.

Wow another thread I somehow missed until now and saw your post about numbers, which had me looking back at your posts to see when you actually decided to resurface . Real glad to see you back Reinhard. Going to have to put you back on my friends list if that's ok with you. Guess I should have known better you can check out but you can neeevvvvver leave.

ok here is the test 3 travellers share a motel room the girl states that will be $30 they each give her $10 the next morning the manager states the rooms are $25 so she has to give them back $5 she gives each of them back $1 and pockets $2 herself where did the other $1 go

I just did that but instead of just marking a particular post as read, it marked everything as read, even the stuff I did not read. Not particularly in favour of that. How can you remark them as unread

I have always just clicked on home and scrolled down the list. I must admit though I sometimes miss posts because they are Auto marked until someone replies to the post at a later date.

Without actually hearing it I cannot say for sure but keep in mind these bikes do have a whine which comes from the stator at certain RPM's under certain Electrical loads, which is quite normal. There is also the clutch whine, also quite normal, that comes and goes, some even worry when they don't hear it. Have someone in your area that is very familiar with the venture have a listen. he will be able to tell you for sure.

A Perfect Blend Combining defensive tactics and aggressive riding will allow you to become a rider that can weather any storm. The secret is knowing when to use each of the tactics. After all, blasting aggressively down Yonge Street is an open invitation for trouble. Conversely, creeping slowly down the road invites different (but no less deadly) trouble, putting you at the mercy of other drivers' skills - or lack thereof. Defensive riding means being aware of your space and maintaining that space by positioning yourself in surrounding traffic. Riding defensively is a way of looking at traffic to predict its effect on you, and doing your best to make sure that this effect is minimal. Riding aggressively is an applied technique to be exercised only occasionally. As a motorcyclist, you must put yourself in view of other drivers, and sometimes that means a bit of aggressive throttle use to come up even with a driver's window. Simply put, sometimes slowing down is extremely dangerous and some aggressive acceleration or lane changing is required. Trust No One The most important rule of urban motorcycle riding is to trust no one but you. Strange as it may seem, paranoia is the key. If you see a dented, dirty or run-down car, be afraid. Dents indicate historical damage and demonstrate that the owner of the vehicle has not made an effort to repair the damage. Similarly, dirty vehicles indicate a disinterested owner, which may very well represent the driving habits of this person. As you gain experience, you'll undoubtedly start to notice trends in particular types of vehicles. Drivers of minivans, for instance, are often dealing with screaming kids in the back seat. As a result, drivers of minivans may not have the ability to focus on the road at all times and should immediately trigger your paranoia. Similarly, sports cars are often driven by aggressive drivers who have the ability to accelerate quickly and change lanes often, so stay well back. Drivers of SUVs and large pickup trucks should also be added to your “watch” list, as they may be carrying a large amount of goods resulting in reduced visibility. In all, there are really no vehicles you can ignore while riding in an urban area. Trust no one but yourself.

Uh was this like a real test or was it just like a practice test, like I'm not even sure if anybody even warned me there was like going to be a test. If this was like a real test and I like missed it would I like be able to do like a make up test.

Gee I don't know how I missed this thread Scott but I sure am sorry to hear about your dilemma. Hopefully your surgery is a great success so you can have two good eyes again.

Very sad news for sure my condolences go out to you your son and the rest of the family.

The truth is because we have a smaller population but still a large country to build roads across, speed limits are used to generate voluntary road funding.

Sorry Bob but that is a workday for me, or would be there.

Sure wished I was there but grandsons birthday took priority. Glad you guys had a good time though. Can't wait to see the pics since I am sure Abdul took plenty.

Very sorry to hear that gunboat has passed. Condolences to his Family and all his close friends.

,I discovered by accident one day when I ran out of cutting oil, while drilling tool steel. A can of WD40 happen to be standing there so I tried it it as a substitute. Not only did it work but worked better than the cutting oil (Kool Tool) I was using before I ran out. I actually had to re-sharpen the drill bit 90% less often than when using the Kool Tool and it cut better.

Make that 11 other people. Limehouse is one of my favourite places to ride through along with Alton.

I don't know about a mixed group ... But it sure is a mixed up group :rotfl:

I just Purchsed lifetime map update for my Zumo 660 and it was around $85

:group cheers::Happy Birthday:
