    Now this is odd ... Google maps says I should turn off I-84 and take US-26 E to Gooding and then take ID-46 to Wendell ... DUH?? why not stay on I-84 ... makes no sense to me LOL

    yep, having more than one 1st gen is a good idea (gotta have those extra parts handy to keep one of them on the road) ... :witch_brew:

    On both my '85 and '87 I got over 40 mpg consistently. Not sure what I get on the '06 but it is close. Dunno how far a guy should expect to go on a tank of gas .... I never gauge it that way ... I always get gas or start looking for it when the tank shows about 3/8 .

    I will admit that if I had had the bucks a year ago last November when I bought the RSV, I would be riding an '09 Ultra today. I will also admit that if I came into a lot of extra money today or anytime in the future, I will be riding an Ultra. I'm not saying I don't like the RSV, nor am I saying I'm regretting buying it. It's an awesome bike and if I had the bucks for an Ultra plus the RSV, I wouldn't let go of the RSV. So yes, for me it was about the money. I flat out LOVE the Harley Ultra ... I do not care to be part of the Harley Rider's "group/lifestyle". I am and always will be a semi non-joiner ... meaning that I prefer going my own way, and not being a part of a "group". I enjoy a once-in-a-while get-together with friends who ride bikes, regardless of what they ride but for the most part, I am a bit of a loner.

    Could it be possible that the guy was just "funnin" with ya... yankin yer chain? I can't believe anyone would be serious about that statement.

    I just flipped 20k kilometers and haven't done the fuel filter yet. Dunno...maybe it's time?

    Just a reminder to inspect the basket yourself to ensure it is, in fact, an I basket so ya don't wind up in the situation I did.

    Personally speaking, I would never take my scoot to a STealer for anything unless it's for a warranty repair. If a guy must take it to a shop, find a non-dealer bike shop that has a guy who knows these bikes. Best to either do it yourself if you can or buddy up with some of the members here and pay them. I'd be happy to help out anyone who doesn't have the where-with-all to do their own work.

    I sync'd my carbs for the first time about a month ago using a Morgan Carbtune... took me all of 15 minutes. The time it takes is one thing... the time they want to charge a guy for is another. Do it yourself or get a member close to you to do it that has the carb sync tool. It's a piece of cake job. As for curing the vibration.... I really couldn't say. btw, it's not a warranty thing as far as I know.

    Nov/Dec 2008 the '09 Ultra with ABS was selling here in Vancouver, Bc, Canada for $24,795. Current inventory is $26,779 with ABS and Security system.

    If a person's legitimacy to secure a janitorial position is dependant on their credit score, then how does one explain how all these immigrants working as janitors who haven't been in the country more than a week and can't speak a word of english? While they don't have a BAD credit score... they have NO credit score so how can anyone trust them more than someone with a so-so or bad credit? Sounds like somebody is getting a pay-off...?

    First memory I have is my grandmother screaming at my dad ... "put that child down!". I recall he was holding me but I didn't like it. I'm guessing I was around 3 yrs old.

    yikes!!!!

    SilvrT replied to oldgoat's topic in Watering Hole

    A criminal record is one thing but not having good credit should have nothing to do with securing a job IMHO. Similarly, when renting a house or apartment... you pay up front cash and in advance so what does credit rating have to do with it. Stupid rules anhooo!

    No .... but I'll supervise while YOU do it... LOL

    Mine had the I basket swap too and NO MORE WHINE! It is such a pleasure riding now. I have been using Shell Rotella T 15w40 Diesel and it seems to work just fine.

    heh... there's never an end is there? Did this to my '87 as well but it was black felt... I like the light grey a lot better. Gonna make a divider for storing those "little things". Had that on my '87 also and I seen here on the site where somebody made one. A bit undecided on putting the felt on the trunk lid. Dunno how the trunk liner material is to work with but this felt is quite easy to get around corners and compound curves as it tends to stretch easy and when ya do have to make a join, it is barely noticeable. I lucked out on the material... it was an old Boy Scouts "poncho" I picked up at a second hand store for $7.00 and I've barely used 1/4 of it. That being said, if anyone local to me wants some of it, you're welcome to come over and take a piece.
