  1. even .22lr is scarce, I have been looking for some .40 and can I tell U about gouging
  2. I know ozone can cause problems, old scuba gear instructions, but I would think that all the rubber would suffer cracking, not just the sidewalls near the rim. I do think it would start in the thinnest (weakest) walls first and work it's way out. This is what you see in an old, like 10 year old, trailer tire that is constantly exposed to the weather. and not supposed to use protectants on bike tires, just bad for grip and I need all the grip I can have. . .
  3. isn't the front left connected to the rear, it could be the rear master has a valve thats not working or it needs to be rebuilt
  4. Is she wearing a brain bucket?? Taller wider great for highway, baggershield might be a good alternative if u ride in town alot
  5. Brother lives out there and said everyone waited till last minute and the stores and gas stations :bang head:were hit hard. He complained about the lines to buy extra gas for his generator so I asked him why he waited till the last minute but complained about his fellow shoppers.
  6. I never did this with my 89 but must with my boat and truck, so I must ask does anyone index their plugs?? I know it's carbureted but could it effect the way it runs ??
  7. So the bike is camera shy??
  8. When I replaced the 89 Venture Royale I was convinced I wanted a spyder, so I test rode one and neither myself or the wife liked it. We tried a Hardley and again it was not as comfey and I felt bull legged plus another 11,ooo to get less than the venture, she did not like the back seat on the wing or Kaw but loved the venture. So yeah
  9. While riding around I have seen piles of words just sittin on the side of the road, always wondered who left those words there, next time I will check for back spaces
  10. The Grammys are a political game that takes place between elite entertainers who make way more money than us and don't work nearly as hard. They take time out of their schedules, not that they are busy, to pat themselves on their back and tell people how relevant and important they are. They want us to pay more tax to feed the poor but they don't like to pay the tax on all the free gifts that they receive at the Grammy's. They dont want you to have guns but hire people with guns to protect them. They tell us what we need to do while they do the opposite, do as I say, not as I do because wait wait they are celebrities. They tell us we need to drive smart cars to save gas while their luxury cars idle for hours, they have mansions with servants and fly most everywhere on private jets. I would be shocked to find one was actually a working guy or gal and rode a venture, actually knew what maintenance day was, knew how to do a clutch upgrade, bleed their breaks. . . They are probably for progressive springs, I mean they like anything progressive.
  11. I need to talk to my wife and find out when she had time to jump on the back of all ure bikes. . .
  12. Yep I agree, usually watch it with the sound off butt now thats a bust or aah no bust. I just wondered if a celebrity ever got workmans comp from patting themselves on the back and causing elbow pain in the process. . . .
  13. You will get used to it and look at some of the mods that make handling easier, a few minor changes will make a huge difference in feel. . . Congrats
  14. I agree, I'm still workin so I'm still young
  15. Reminds you to check those date codes
  16. try replacing both the clutch and brake fluid.
  17. I had a friend who lost a tire last year and the end result was his wife passed away from the accident. The Indiana Highway Patrol investigated the accident and the tire blew out, she came off the bike and was hit by the bike killing her. I will never again argue about tires the cost is just not worth the pain he lives with so I for one will spend the cash to replace my tires before they even look bad. When in doubt I will change it out. . . Ride on
  18. Jeff, what are you going to ask for them??
  19. Echo Don, we drive in Chicago all the time and actually it's no worse than any other big city. Go with the flow . biggest sin is going too slow.
  20. Bob beat me to it with the wife, backrest deserves a mention, leveling links, handlebars and moving the trunk back an inch have all gone a long way in improving the bikes fit to me and the wife. . .
  21. I 80 is no problem unless you hit it at rush hour and in Indiana approaching Illinois and is not known for delays or the crazy traffic. So if you don't hit it between 7-9am or 3-6pm you won't even know you went near Chicago. If you drove 20 miles south you would encounter very little traffic and I have been through Indy when it was rush hour and that was no picnic either. Rick's route looks like a good ride though

  23. Not True, I used to deal with this: http://library.municode.com/index.aspx?clientId=13565&stateId=13&stateName=Illinois 22-36 they have adopted BOCA so all BOCA rules apply unless they are sections specifically excluded by ordinance. 22-278 © (3) addresses windows ( a sheet of plastic, cardboard or plywood ain't it) and if the window could be opened it serves as a means of emergency escape, they must replace it with a window that affords emergency egress. Under life safety codes they should do that in an emergency / reasonable amount of time ( like one week). http://www.nwda.net/Residential%20Building%20Codes%20Egress%20Requirements.pdf The approach with your building inspectors / code officers is that you are a victim and you are willing to be reasonable. They are responsible for enforcing this and they should be reasonable with the landlord and with you. Also if the frame is not repairable, they must replace it with an energy efficient window, can not reuse an old window. Thank big brother for that one.
  24. but how will you pay for 9/10 of a cent of gas???
