Nope..pretty much covered it all with a little tad TMI on the Warden...

Gas ( 60 day+/- shelf life) guns and bullets - hunting and protection, propane bottles, water purifier(s)/filtering systems, solar type items since recharging would otherwise take gas or electricity ( first stuff to disappear) matches/lighters are few to come to mind. I believe in being prepared... haven't done much towards it though... our power grid is the weakest link in our society and with that down, water, food, gas, heat, etc is gone in a heartbeat.

Merry CHRISTmas and Happy New Year to you too. I hope you have a safe 2013 riding year. P.S. Did you get the PM on the blue 1st Gen you were interested in ? I went and looked at it..
-
Dan, you shouldn't let it get to you. I think if you don't have a friendly following here, just look at your never ending garage build thread. You would see that the few that are jealous of your collection of 1st Gens are just that, "few.." You have left me here to battle with the 2nd Gens without you having my back. I know statistically it takes like 4,763 2nd Gens to battle wits with one 1st Gen... but it does get tiring doing it alone. I think I have pis.... I mean ...ticked of one or two here with my kidding and joking, but all I did was send a letter to Santa asking him to give them a sense of humor for CHRISTmas. Just think... in a few years when all the 2nd Gens have out lived their time usefulness and have become boat anchors... they will be begging us 1st Genners to sell one of our multiple dream machines to them... Merry CHRISTmas my friend.

Sorry... I took a little longer crawling out from under the covers to see if the world had come to an end... I will try harder to ignite the fires of love and jealousness sooner in order to keep the energy of the snowed/iced in crowd going during the off-riding season. As far as the original question... one other part of the equation is that obviously 2nd Gens take/need more time (are slower) to digest the meaning of a post and have to catch up to the speed of the 1st Genner's comments. Hmmm.. kinda like riding with them isnt it...? Actually.. I tend to read posts just for the info...and a lot of times I am on my phone doing it and typing on the phone is sometimes a PIA.. so just reading them is easier. So in the spirit of the Season...

Tucson is hovering around $2.85/gallon and 70 degrees daytime temps..which for all you suffering from PMS..means I get to keep riding and cheaply too.... Sorry...don't mean to rub it in...... or do I .....? Hmmm.....

It said it was in Russia..

No way Dan...welcome back to the typing world ! It only the jealous 2nd Gens that don't want to hear how they have the slower less desirable bike.

I just use an old credit union checking account for Paypal. Never very much money in it. If I need to buy something, I put the money in it and then complete the transaction.

Greg, I removed the section of hose I think you need. Below are some pictures. If this is what you need I will mail it to you:

the only problem with the second gear is that it blows the 2nd gens out of the water ! The 86 is fine. They fixed the problem in mid 1985. -
Hey guys and gals, Back in May Wanderer created and posted this cool theme for the top of Firefox or Explorer. I had an (unrelated) issue with my Firefox and lost it yesterday. Finally after searching and searching I found the link: I have always loved turning on my Firefox and having a 1st Gen on my upper right screen. http://gallery.brandthunder.com/en-US/theme/436aaee9-b06e-45a6-bae6-1996dee6fd1f Original Thread: http://www.venturerider.org/forum/archive/index.php/t-69723.html

Guess that needs to be put down under trouble shooting issues: Rodent lunch impacts.

Good Job !

I have a couple of 84 parts bikes and one has the CLASS on it if you need any parts.
-
Dan, you have our prayers and best wishes for a speedy recovery. Take care and LISTEN to the Doctor ! Don't over do it .

Unions had their place in the early stages of the industrial revolution. They did protect workers, helped change dangerous workplace issues, but today all that is taken care of by government agencies like OSHA EEOC etc. Today, Unions are part of the problem, not the fix. They force inflated wages that then cause inflated prices and loss of business. They use obviously illegal tactics, threats and acts of violence, and steal U.S. Citizens right to work in peace and pursue their own style of happiness and the American dream. If you don't join the union, you can count on having threats made (under other circumstances very illegal), damage done to your vehicle and house and other personal or business property (under other circumstances very illegal), acts to close down and impede your business (under other circumstances very illegal), and just the threat of all these actions is very illegal under any other circumstances. Union upper management is very corrupt ( read Culture of Corruption) and i can't believe that union members allow for the corruption to exist. My family was the target of union hatred when my mother, who worked in a school kitchen refused to join the union in a right to work state , and went to school to make sure "her kids" were fed as most were poor and the best meals they got were in school. The union goons came like cowards in the night and smashed our home windows. Guess they wanted the kids to starve and show us how big and strong they were. I have personally watched unions protect "dirty" employees who stole and cheated employers and other employees, forcing the company to hire them back or not terminate for thefts and other serious actions. BUT, the bottom line here is that people in THIS GREAT country should have the RIGHT to exercise their RIGHT to work in freedom and without the fear of reprisal by organized criminal activity. Where in the constitution does it say that a "private" group can control the livelihood of any US citizen ?? It doesn't !!

If you really want to know about unions and the behind the scenes ...read a book called Culture of Corruption. It really opened my eyes and furthered my understanding of unions .

Why is it in a FREE Country, where men and women have given up their lives to protect FREEDOM, union thugs think they can own a state, force people to join a union and pay dues like slaves to the union and if you don't ,they commit acts of violence against people and families... You ask a union member if they believe in freedom of choice regarding killing a baby and they say "YES". Ask them if a U.S citizen should have the freedom of choice to not belong to a union..they say "NO". rant off.....

Glad you are doing well. Heal fast, but follow doctor's orders and don't over do it too fast. Tell friends and family your throat hurts too so they'll bring you ice cream and you can make Big Tom jealous at the same time.

RE: final drive: Ok..that was a royal messy PIA. So do you fill it until it dribbles out the filler hole ? Even with a mirror I can not see up there. I filled it until it dribbled out and let it dribble until it stopped. Should I suck out a little more with my vacuum pump? I tried measuring the 6.7 oz but my hose contraption I used to fill it popped out and spilled it all over so I couldn't use the measurement.

Sounds like your ready to ride to me. Signed Dr. Bill

Since I am changing my oil tomorrow, I think I will change the rear drive oil also. So how much is in there ? How many quarts will it take ? Inquiring minds want to know ?
