  1. Ya,but the chicks dig them.....
  2. Stuck in Glendive,Mt. for the holiday weekend,due to problems with the load for Calgary. Called up Norm,and he and his wife picked me up and we went to dinner..... Awesome folks and had a great time.......Thanks guys. And yes Carl,I know I make more M&E's with the truck,then I do with the bike.. So,it looks like I won't deliver in Calgary till wednsday morning....
  3. Way to go Jeff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  4. No way Joe.. I've been seeing them around alot... But maybe thats because I like them...
  5. You,your bike and a Chevy SSR. http://realitypod.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Chevrolet-SSR.jpg I really like the looks.. Happy hunting.
  6. After throwing the tennis ball for our dog Harley for a couple of hours,he left here saying he was going to build a tennis ball launcher using a hit and miss engine.. Can't wait.....
  7. It was great to have Scooter Bob and Karen stop in for a visit and spend the night. They are doing well..
  8. Mike and JoDee,we are so sorry for your loss.
  9. They make great wires....
  10. The tongue length should be twice as long as the axle width. The pics look like it's way too long. Axle width X two = tongue length..
  11. See,I learn new things everyday. Sure I'm glad I got the Interweb instead of those encyclopedias..
  12. Sure does.. That was MD a couple of years ago...
  13. Happy Birthday Buddy....
  14. 1. First,nobody can argue about Willie G. being a marketing guru. Right or wrong,the Harley lifestyle is important to their customers. Get over it... 2.If you look back in history,in the late '70's,Harley developed 12 proto-type bikes called "The Nova Project". Built in conjunction with Porsche,they were V4 water cooled with belt drive. Willie G.'s only blunder of his career, was thinking that this bike would drive a wedge between HD and it's hardcore customers.. 3.The other reason the program was scrapped, was at that time,HD was cash poor after buying the company back from AMF and spending millions building the EVO platform. Now think about this for a minute. The '70's and '80's were the big "Buy American" years. IMHO,if HD would have seen this project thru,it's very possible Harley would have captured 90% or better of the motorcycle market. They would have had a bike for everybody. We could all be riding Harleys... http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSZhTIy507qdEfv9wuq2lE9Edp0nJ_W82OS03LphPfW7dmx59x8 If your ever in Milwaukee,stop at the HD museum and you can see one of the 12 proto-types on display. It's orion silver and blue like my '87 and looks like a cross between a MK1 and a early Goldwing..Pretty cool. http://www.bikerenews.com/AntiqueBikes/CodeNameNova.htm IMHO,HD blew it big time. Now if I could afford it,would I buy another Harley? You bet.... Would I get rid of our 1st Gen...Nope....
  15. I would love another kitty,but not available anymore..
  16. Some of you know the history on this truck. It's been a pita from day one. It's maiden trip,the AC condenser fell out of the truck... 8 condensers later,I finally have working AC. I'm on a first name basis with every Western Star and Detroit Diesel dealership across the US and Canada.. That's why she is named "Christine"... This truck has more demons then my ex-wife..:yikes: The current problem is anti-freeze coming out the turbo.. Just got it in the shop and they are thinking it's the EGR cooler. We'll see and then the parts will be in Seattle.
  17. I worked really hard all week to get this cutie in my arms..... She really played hard to get.... The BikeHopper says I just wore her down...
  18. We'll have to see how work is.... Right now I'm broke down in Baltimore...
  19. OK,just what the heck happened at the venison roast????????????? I knew I should have come back down after I dropped the BikeHopper off at the house... Bill,you were there...Some 1st gen guard you are... I know,you guys gave the special Kool Aid to Orlin and Sharon. :crackup: Well,at least they went to a good home....
  20. Well,it does have the "Venture River Water park":thumbsup2:
  21. Some nice bikes!!!!!!!!!! That riverwest area does have some interesting people.... Fuel cafe is a neat little place.
  22. Didn't we have a couple of members that had some pin come out on the right side of the tranny??? IIRC they pulled the pass side cover and were able to put things right...
  23. http://www.50000silverdollar.com/ This would be my choice for out west. Been there many times. Motel and campground are all together. Not sure we would be able to make it, but I think about a rally there all the time. Really,it's the perfect place.Everything that you would need is there..
  24. Great job...:thumbsup2: ..Makes me want to go back and do it again..
