  1. Yah and what about your PULLUPS
  2. Some truck shops or truck parts suppliers for transport trucks may still have replacement desiccant cartridges for the old Bendix AD-2 air dryer used to remove moisture from the truck air brake systems. Open up one of these cartridges and you should have enough to do a few dozen of our little air dryers.
  3. What are you laughing at REDGREEN is a handymans must .....A visual BIBLE Of how to fix or patch just about anything. Some segments even teach you how to build things you may not otherwise be able to afford to buy. Now some of you Americans, are worried about not being able to buy AMMO. Well once you watch REDGREEN You will realize matters could be much worse WE COULD RUN OUT OF DUCT TAPE
  4. Its like I tell my apprentices at work. The day they realize how much they don't know rather than how much they think they know, is the day they just got a whole lot smarter. Taking the course would be the best option all around. But not everyone is so fortunate. Next best thing is find a parking lot that is completely empty and practice, practice, practice. I have been riding for almost 50 years and I still do this just so that everything remains second nature rather than always having to think about what I am doing, (sometimes you just don't get time to think). So even if you were fortunate enough to take the course it is still good to practice. All our big rig chrome comes wrapped in HUGE sheets of HD bubble wrap. Want me to mail you some
  5. Number one.is a seat you can sit in all day long. Everything else Is just secondary
  6. I have always preferred my tom tom GPS to my Garmin one. The only thing is the Garmin is more visible in bright sun light. Route planning and accuracy as well as directions have always been better on my tom tom.
  7. Can not understand how someone could hate snow. Look how clean the. Air smells after it snows
  8. Really Tom ....I would never have guessed ......Werent you just complaining there just isn't enough snow these days and how you missed the good old day's.........All this time I been prayin for SNOW just for your gratification ........There goes a perfectly good prayer answered and sadly wasted........ See If I ever try to do anything nice for you again.
  9. Do you help when Becky picks up your bike ......or do just stand back and watch
  10. With so many people giving up smoking, I wonder if thats why there is not so many bar fights anymore. No wonder the bars close early these days .....No More Action:Avatars_Gee_George:
  11. Thats right .....So there are only three things you need to remember when you drop your bikeThe $5.00 dropped my bike donation turn the handle bar towards the tank one hand on the hand grip, one on the bar behind the seat and with with your backside against the bike just walk it up. Remember #1 If you have any questions regarding #1 just ask Marcarl for advice. He had trouble with that also but after practicing it three times in one weekend, he now has it down pat and is pretty much the site GURU on procedure for #1
  12. You gotta love it. Some people just have no cell phone etiquette. It kind of reminds of back in the day when smokers rudely blew smoke in your face.
  13. Yeh Eck I do believe Swifty is a different member one who definitely falls in the unseen fast moving objects category.
  14. If I may correct the above statement --There is basicly 4 types of loctite for keeping bolts and fittings from coming loose or leaking. Is blue, it is a medium strength as well as a sealer, Use on bolts of any size. Is red it is a high strength. Avoid using on bolts smaller than 3/8 of an inch or 10mm last is green it is very high strength used mainly for locking sleeves and bushings in place. Will fill a gap of .020" and once cured has tremendus strength. It can be used an very large bolts 1/2 or bigger Last there is PST it is white of low strength used primarily for sealing fittings but very useful for sealing bolts that thread into oil or water gallery's and will also help to prevent loosening. When using loctite clean parts well. Although a good wipe with a clean rag works well cleaning parts with brake clean works even better. No need to rush when assembling parts it does not cure until the part is secured in place as it cures only in absence of air. You can actually leave the bolt you applied it to on the bench all night but once threaded into place it cures in a matter of minutes. One last note there is an activator that you can spray the parts with that really speed up the curing process put unless you are skilled and quick at what you are doing I do not recommend that the average person use it.
  15. Very interesting bike. Wonder if with todays technology what an improved version would be like. Might even be good in the snow.
  16. Suuurrre It all sounds soooo good until you get there. Then you will be complaining about the heat and wishing you had come to Canada were the coooool people are .....NO I DID NOT SAY FROZEN ... I said the coool people
  17. I had a Sony Ericson 810 for about 8 years ...I was a happy man. Then at new years I listened to my son and daughter Upgradeded to a Motorola Razr hd lte or something like that
  18. I just got a new Motorola Razr HD android phone. Every time I access VR.org on it I get this app window pop up (see attachement). It also constantly pops up with every page or forum change (twice actually) and I have to touch cancel to contiue during which time I get logged off. Does anyone know what this is? is it a requirement to use the android phone to access VR or is it something else trying to horn in.
  19. Prayers sent . May the Good Lord return him strong and healthy to his young family's side
  20. Best of luck to you Annie. Hope all goes well.
  21. Found my passport .......is the meet and eat over yet ....can I still come ...
  22. Yeh hard to believe they still had such a good time without us. Just imagine the fun if we had been there.
  23. Now if I remember correctly that is a firm sign of old age. .....That or trying to get out what your trying to say, while having a conversation (usually one sided ) with the wife.
  24. ouch!!
  25. Due to the fact that a certian unnamed member lost his passport Ben (saddlebum) and Carl (marcarl) did not make it to the Detroit meet and eat. Rather then leave these two out standing members, out in the cold. A table for 4, was acquired at the China King restaraunt on the outskirts of Brantford. Dispite the short notice there was still a 50% turn out of VR members. Of course as is the norm Carl began the festivity's with a fine speech and since BradT was at the M&E in Detroit there was no one there to interupt his speech. Food was great and and at one point if you can believe it or not Carl was actually left speechless as you can see by the pictures below.
