  1. Just my experience but,I had tried a snowmobile helmet with the double walled visor several years ago when I still drove a sled. It did me absolutely no good because after about a mile my visor was so fogged up I could not see. Had to finish the ride with the visor wide open. The helmet sat on the shelf for several years after that until I finally managed to sell it. Good luck finding a helmet and visor that works for you.
  2. Yup, almost looks like the Harley they were origionally designed after!! :stirthepot:
  3. No problem Sarge46, I'm up to my ears busy at work right now anyway.

    Great news!! Glad your home and hope the rest of your recovery goes very well. Thanks to your daughter for keeeping us updated on your progress.
  5. I don't think the speedometer would read slower as they drive off the front wheel, unless your '84 is different.
  6. We have about 4 inches of the white crap. What's the chances of a Canuck getting a permanent job in the USA? Every fall I wish I could move about 1000 - 1200 miles south. I absolutely hate our cold snowy winters.
  7. This is the exact same reason I joined. The people here have to be some of the greatest folks I could wish to meet. Maybe some day I'll meet some of them.
  8. Kitesquid; just a friendly reminder, please see post #41. I don't know where I fit in line as long as I can view it and send it to the next on the list. Thanks.

    Sig too large?

    If you hadn't said anything we wouldn't be any wiser. On my monitor it looks like a "mother of pearl" finish customized plate.
  10. Very well stated, Freebird. I could see this going the wrong direction in a hurry.
  11. Put me on the list for Canada. I promise to abide by all the preset terms.
  12. I wear mine 99.5% of the time. The .5% I don't is going across town to my current employment, less than a minute at 15 mph. The helmet is in the trunk in case I decide to go for a ride after work. I don't do this very often as I usually walk it.
  13. I try to play a guitar mostly for my own pleasure. I'm definately not very good, but, I enjoy it just the same. I own an Artist series Alvarez cedar top 6 string.
  14. I have a set of carbs off an '86, but, they need the main diaphrams replaced. If you are interested let me know.
  15. I've been watching these mufflers on and off all winter. They usually sell for between $230 and $280. I'm waiting for them to go for less than that as the stock mufflers are working fine. I'm also curious how loud they are because I have always prefered my bikes to run quiet.
  16. Just did the math, gas here is $1.239/ litre which equates to $4.68/US gallon.
  17. If you think gas is expensive now with crude at approximately $110.00/barrel hang on to your hats, I've been told crude will make $200.00 before too long. Guess what fuel prices are going to be then.
  18. Here in Saskatchewan we also only have insurance supplied by the provincial gov't. I believe it costs $864 a year for mine, but I only insured for May to end of October for about $530.
  19. Even with it on the center stand, the sidestand switch could be sticking a little. Wouldn't hurt to check it.
  20. Glad to hear you came out with no injuries. Obviously it could have ended MUCH worse.
  21. Harvey Rounce told me about this site when I was considering buying the '86 Royale from him. I'm glad he did; this is a great site. Thanks Harvey!
  22. In my opinion if you want the lube job to last longer than 5 miniutes use anything but WD-40 unless you use it as a carrier for something more substantial like Super Lube. Just my worth.
  23. I agree, seems like some manufacturers prefer to clone Harley's.
