Being better off as an illegal isnt just happening in the US its happening in Canada as well and even in some europeon country's. At least the Primeminster in Austrailia has those Brass round things that monkeys hang between there legs. He tells them that they must fit in to the way things are there or leave if they don't like it

apparently i cant get the pictures to post thanks for covering silvert:thumbsup:

There is a reason why I have no reason to go for a swim in the Amazon. Like something out of a bad dream! " World Record Size Piranha".

I had a 400 kawi that would not start once so I ran down the road beside it pushing it once I got going fast anough I jumped on it side saddle and flopped over backwards bike and all into the ditch with all my neighbours watching.

my self i think i will just stick with buying the rubbers for now:thumbsup:

thats funny isnt that what you always rode Charlie:mo money:

Squidly I can not disagree with you there. There is also much to be said about maney folks doing things differently I would have to admit as much faith as I have in a good quality tire plug I still would only trust the ones I install myself. there is no room on the road for a shoddy repair. You are are also very right in say if one is to make an error in judgement do it in the direction of safty. I also remember your tire incident and am very glad you are still with us.

I love night riding after a hard day's work I find it very theraputic

Remember not all plugs are equal in qaulity the two brands I mentioned in my earlier post are extremly reliable I have even put 2 in large holes and never had one leak or fail . but there are maney out there I would not give the time of day to. So when it comes to plug or not to plug product quality is a BIG factor

You really need to develop a more positve attitude or somthing my friend:thumbsup: According to my daughters if you maintain a negitive attitude negitive things happen

:ice_awesome-vi46644Hey Don sounds like you got more offers than you got territory so even if you do end up w/o a job at least you got lots a places to eat.

Excuse me but the summer before last I took Rocket on the back of my first gen to Marcarls great and meet than proceeded to allow him a comfortable rear seat ride ( which could only be accomplished with a 1st gen) when we all went on a cruise. Further more on the way Home we left a bunch of harly's that didn't want us to pass them on the highway eating our dust and that was with 2 up each of us over 225 lbs. So not only did this 1st genner offer the olive branch but had the power to spare .:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:I must shamefully admit that I did threaten to throw him off at the 1st sign of a good looking female hitchiker:lightbulb:

Sorry to disagree with you sguidly but I too have vast tire experience and 1) a patch on the inside only prevents air from leaving the tire, the puncture is still open to the enviroment . on the othe hand a good quality plug such as perma or techcan seals the entire hole . and I have never had a tire fail from using these plugs and in 35 years of fleet maint. I have inserted hundreds of them and using the proper tools does not hurt the belt any more than the original object may have the tool tends to spread the belt which intme close back up on the plug

If it didn't loose any fluid laying on its side it wont hurt anything just charge it if it fails to charge throw an aspirin ( pure aspirin not tylonal or advil etc.) in each cell and continue to charge . If it lost fluid just adding distilled water is not a good enough you have to add electrolyte (acid) Its not the same as when you loose fluid under normal use because evaporation only depletes the water not the acid were spillage depletes both.If

Sent DVD today to Marcarl

I havent changed a tire in years . I always carry a tirre plug kit. check out this link http://www.premaproducts.com/PREMA-Kits.50.0.html I use these on everything right up to transport trucks. the mobile guy who sells us our stock has had 250 plugs in the side wall of his front tire (an area normally not recomended to repair ) and they were there to the day the tires wore out. these are the same plugs shown in the kit you see if click on the above link.I have plugged holes up to 1/4" in diameter with these and never had one fail.

I don't seem to be getting any response from silvercrew with regards to his mailing address.I think it is only fair to move to the next person on the list so the DVD doesn't get tied up. So since Marcarl is next on the list I sent him a PM requesting his mailing address.

I watched and it cost me :mo money:I done went and ordered one inc ride the dragon and surviving the mean streets. I think the best tip on this was ( when in a tight spot look at you escape route not at the pending hazard) ALSO: I am still waiting for silvercrew to pm me his mailing address so I can mail ride like a pro to him. I don't want to skip anyone on the list but I can't sit on it forever either . If I dont get it soon I will mail it to marcarl (next on the list)

I am still waiting for you to pm me your mailing address so I can mail ride like a pro to you. I don't want to skip anyone on the list but I can't sit on it forever either .

This was written by a black gentleman in Texas . And is so funny. What a great sense of humor And creativity!!! When I was born, I was BLACK, When I grew up, I was BLACK, When I went in the sun, I stayed BLACK, When I got cold, I was BLACK, When I was scared, I was BLACK, When I was sick, I was BLACK, When I bruise, I'm still BLACK, And when I die, I'll still be BLACK. NOW, You 'white' folks.... When you're born, you're PINK, When you grow-up, you're WHITE, When you go in the sun, you get RED, When you're cold, you turn BLUE, When you're scared, you're YELLOW, When you get sick, you're GREEN, When you bruise, you turn PURPLE, And when you die, you look GRAY. So who y'all callin' COLORED folks?

Levity!!! you cant fool anyone you were trying to lure him to the dark side

MD , Marcarls , and with any luck 09 raly. Other than that I hope to scoot around some of northern Ontario's back roads.
