    Charlie !! why don't you just admit you put the right one on the left side and the left one on the right side, instead of trying to come up with some lame excuse because you can't tell your left from your right. Its ok you know your not alone. Now here is a trick that will help you. Lay both hands flat on the table in front of you with your thumbs open. you will notice the left thumb points at the right hand . Now isn't that easy.

    I put it right in my GPS. Funny thing though the route from Burlington takes the long way around and goes through Brantford. Then a little window pop's up and comments something about wait for tag-a-longs.:rotfl:

    I found this in our gm service bulletin. { Even the smallest amount of air allowed into a nitrogen filled tire nullifies any perceived advantage of putting Nitrogen in the tire} it goes on to further say that, GM does not endorse nor discourage the use of Nitrogen in tires. As far as being better for the enviroment, I would have to say, Campared to what ? The air we put in, which is the same air we breath ? For me air is readily available and has worked well. One technical note Nitrogen does expand and contract at a fixed rate, were as air will compress and expand at an unfixed rate, Which is why nitrogen is used in gas shocks.

    Thank you everyone for your prayers and well wishes. I do not understand how it is that he is still holding on, but some how he does. He has not had anything to eat or drink since tuesday, being out of it most of the time. and finally fri noon he was some how able to take a bit of water. He does acknowledge his daughters and myself, but that is about it. The rest of the time he is either asleep or somewhere in the past. On a more positve Note the other friend of mine who was badly injured when he lost control of his motorcycle and ended up in a coma for a couple of months just over a year ago, is up and about. . Just after christmas he was moved from the mental rehab hospital to a group home and is doing very well. he is going to the gym every day with a care worker and working out lifting wieghts etc. He still has some memory loss and a slight personality change, but for the most part doing very well.

    I have a very close long time friend who is only 59 and is currantly lying in hospital and has been there since the ambulance took him in last thursday april 15. He is currantly not expected to live much longer and has refused any form of life support. I have been going to see him everyday and evertime I leave I think it will be the last time I see him alive, yet each time I go back he is still holding on but barely and often is barely consious. Each day his two daughters are there and the anguish they go through each day is hard to take. Please send some prayers for both him and his daughters, I believe they really could use them at this time.

    Actually it can work both ways. A defective battery can overtax a charging system. On the other hand an overcharging sytem can boil a battery destroying it, or an undercharging system can result in a battery having to perform in a weakend state, resulting in a shortened life span.

    Just a point of curiosity, I have a tom tom and on the bottom is a little pin hole that you stick something small into that resets it back to factory settings. Would there not be something like this on the garmin?

    Forget the hitch--thats a lazy mans ground and very unreliable. The bare pin on your trailer connector coming from the bike is ground , clamp a good test light to it and then tuoch either the pos on your battery or another known reliable hot wire, if the light glows bright your ground connection is good. Now staying connected to the ground pin test all your other pins for tail brake and signal with the same test light. If everything works you know the hook up on the bike is good. Now you trailer is fiberglass so chance,s are nothing is grounded to the frame, each light will have a ground wire going directly to it from a splice, which will have one wire coming from the plug. Now this plug being the opposite of the one on the bike will have one covered pin and the rest bare. the covered pin is the ground pin on the trailer side. some times the wire coming from this pin instead of going directly to the lights will simply just be attached to the frame.( A spot that often looses connection with age) and the ground wires from the lights will be connected to nearest piece of metal frame. another source of trouble. Otherwise it will just run to a splice and from the splice go directly to all the lights. The splie depending on how it was done can often be a source of trouble. One last thing if your trailer only has red lights on the back and your bike has amber rear turn signals then you need a conversion module wired into the bike. If your bike already has the conversion box it may have decided to take a vacation perminent like.

    Technically according to Ontario law,on any vehicale, road lights (passing lights) are to only go on with high beams, and fog lights are only to go on with low beams. However it seems this law is sometimes overlooked in the case of motorcycles. For those who don't know the difference road lights are basically flood lights while fog lights have a narrow horizontal beam.
