You make this all sound like a bad thing. I don't get it...:think: After all why would you even try to change perfection:big-grin-emoticon:

If like adventure, and have good sense of direction, get a map. If you need to be led on a leash to get were you wanna be, get a GPS:big-grin-emoticon:

My RSTD custom project (Caution, nekkidness inside)

That scoot looks just fantastic. Can't wait to see it close up. I don't know how you do it though, if it was my scoot I would have hovered over it like an old mother hen from start to finish. -
Good luck and ride safe Yammer.

sweet rig !!!! But like Yammer say's practice handling in tight manouvers at a crawl, because that is were the venture differs from other bikes and is at its most awkward. Above 5 mph and at high speed the venture practically handles itself and you just need to enjoy the RIDE:thumbsup::dancefool:

those tires were well past worn out. Look for a date stamp on the side of the tire I bet there fairly old, tires tend to start cracking when age catches up to them. in any case they should have been replaced many miles ago. The dunlop 491 E2 has wear indicators in the tread groove those tires have far surpassed that.Another factor is being as they are as badly worn as they are the rubber is probably starting to separate from the cord.

The jester is good in merit but the bad side effect of this is everytime one group gets something from the government a dozen other special interest groups pop up wanting something, and not all with the best intentions. I say it was ok with the government in power at the time so leave it be. tell the ACLU to go pound salt and get off of the tax payers dole.
-
forgive my ignorance but who is the ACLU and what bussiness do they have to dishonour men by dessicrating a monument that was probably put up before they were even born. And so what if it is on government land, it was for the government and the nation they fought and sacrificed. Canadians should also be aware, because once it starts in the USA it will soon start here too.

So how well do cowboy boots work with 2nd Gen Controls?
saddlebum replied to GG54172's topic in Riding Gear
I wear black terra lite work boots that have a zipper on the side instead of laces. they work great. They have good traction soles a steel toe, And if you rub snow seal, dubbin ey keep you or bees wax in them every once in awhile they keep your feet dry. I put lots on then let them bake in the hot sun so the leaqther soaks it right up. Best of all they are affordable and available at any work boat outlet, but look like a biker boot. -
MkII rear suspension rods

Another option is to heat the head of the bolt red hot then quench quickly with cold water (may have to do more than once ) this causes the bolt to shrink slightly and loosen in the threads and avoids heating parts you would rather not replace. replace the bolt with a new one after, as the temper will have changed. Another way to heat it If you don't have a torch but you have an arch welder handy is to place the ground clamp on the bolt place a carbon rod in the rod holder and ground the carbon rod right to the head of the bolt and hold it there until it is red hot (use a large dia. carbon rod), then again quench with cold water. beauty of this tecnique is no flame to burn anything else BUT DO DISCONNECT YOUR BATTRY CABLES -
There was---a deer boy with a drinking problem---:dancefool:

It looks so natural there I really had to look to see it.

Figures only a DUTCHMAN would count exactly how many coffees a guest would drink. On the other hand I'm not sure just how Dutch he is. You see I noticed that when he tosses a cigarette that he has been smoking there is still 1/16 " of white paper left, No true Dutchman would waste that much tabbaco:rotfl:In the end it was a good visit, although Carl may not feel the same way seeing as how I cut into his nappy time. BTW since he dropped his pants for me :225:I can honestly testify that he has a legitimate excuse for not being on the job, that leg looked nasty, I mean even more so than his good one. You know he actually has it pretty good though Marca really caters to him, I wouldn't be suprised if he milks this for all he can.

Sooo Sorry to once again have to hear of a biker down. Here's hopeing and praying that James makes a speedy and complete recovery.

I have the scala rider as well and i use it with a half helmit. the velcro back speakers stick nicely to the helmit liner and have them just ahead of my ear and just up from the edge of the helmit and can hear them perfectly, I actually have to turn the volume down a bit.
