here's one of the pics... appears to be from an entirely different scoot..???
-
so, does the right brain control the left hand turn or is it the other way 'round? Might be a slight inner ear infection causing some sort of "off-balance" issue .... ?? I know I used to have a lot more difficulty making tight right hand turns... until I saw the "Ride Like a Pro" CD .... man what a difference that made! Now, I'm not saying that CD will cure your inner ear infection!!

I used to live in Ontario .. Lake of the Woods area (Kenora) .... maybe that's where I got it from???

I just had a great idea for making extra cash.... like those folks who used to travel the roads picking bottles and cans (not done so much anymore) for extra money.... I'm gonna hook up a utility trailer and follow the Harley riders routes.... chekking the ditches for parts... gonna open my own used parts store.... gonna call it "Good Vibrations" ...
-
I sure hope they have a "drive in" ......
-
this could be some kind of "mental phoenomena" .... like... years ago, whenever I was driving along a lake ... I'd get an almost overwhelming urge to just crank the wheel and drive into the lake.... It got so bad I'd have to consciously force myself not to. Very weird... that stopped sometime ago... not even sure when.

I recall reading somewhere where someone said (jokingly) ... "if you follow a group of Harley riders long enough, you'll pick up enuf pieces to build your own". I went one further with this with my son (he rides an '03 Sportster) and said, "if I follow my son long enuf, I'll return home riding a Harley" (love givvin the kid a hard time). Yesterday, we're out for a ride and I'm following him and...... all of a sudden he's pulling over... I come up beside him and he's cussin big time... "what's wrong"... my MIRROR! he screams .... I look and it had vibrated so much that it just snapped off somewhere in the middle!! He's had more things come loose and fall off that bike... LOL

Now here's a trike like you've never seen before... powered by a Fiero engine. These folks have travelled across Canada & back on this. Ran across them on a weekend ride last weekend.

One of my talents is doing voice impersonations.... :rotf:

The HotLine number actually is... 1-800-Call SomoneElse Of course it's me...who else could it be? And here I am, at work...the network administrator (aka System Administrator) here...and I get those same errors..."please contact your system administrator" ... so, I submit a trouble ticket to my own email addy... when it arrives I add it to my daily tasks with a reminder... and when the reminder(s) (there are several of this type) pop up, I just "snooze" them until such time as I figgure out what the h3|| to do about it.
-
One thing I hate is those messages that say "please contact you system administrator" ... well DUHHHHH .... it's my home computer .... who do they figgure "my" system administrator is? ... DUHHH

I believe those pics are of his scoot, etc not the one he stalked..

In this day and age, loud pipes are not necessarilly associated to Harleys (as a few posts here seem to suggest or make that connection). In the last 2 weeks I have seen more "non Harleys" with some of the loudest pipes I've heard. Yamaha Royal Star's, Victory, Suzuki, Kaw and ever the odd Honda VTX. (just felt the need to clarify that) There's loud pipes ... and then there's LOUD pipes. I have a problem with those LOUD pipes and moreover, the riders who have them coz it generally is them that get their JOLLIES by rapping and blipping and making as much noise as they possibly can. Those 2 things together are nothing more than a nuisance IMHO. Having said that, how many of you here wear ear plugs? I've never worn them but I have noticed many riders of bikes with LOUD pipes do. Their reasoning is to protect the eardrums from the wind.... Well, I may not hear as good as I once did but I honestly doubt it's because of wind damage to my eardrums. ok, said my piece...

:rotf: welcome to the CLUB!
-
Congrats ... I tried that last year... made it for 2 months and then xmas came around and all the family members who smoke... next thing I knew, I was puffin again. It's will power that will keep a guy off the smokes... other things might help ya to get there. Gonna give 'er another go soon... soon as I muster up the will power again. And I'll be using the champix for assistance but I'm not fond of it coz of the side effects (lots of vivid dreams and lack of sleep).
-
It is?? I always thought it was opposite side too!
-
I've ridden lots in cross wind country ... what I've found is either go faster or slow down ... well, I wasn't about to slow down. See... the faster you go, the better the scoot cuts the air, causing less cross wind push against you. (well, it sounds good to me)
-
All the ones made for europe are on the opposite side....
-
As to the remote start... well, if I lived way up north where it gets cold I might consider it but never did in the past so why start now... and it's never that cold or that hot around here. As for the "hidden cost" of my time and trouble... nah ... I haven't been inconvenienced that much. However, I was lucky...this time...and last time. Still considering... It would have been a major inconvenience had the truck never come back or if it was a write-off coz then I'd have to go thru the hassle of replacing it and dealing with the ins co on it's value, etc... now that would be worth the cost of a good alarm system.

So, truck is at the body shop and I've had a chance to look it over... They (the thieves) cut the steering wheel to get the club off and because of that, insurance will refund me $100 (reduction on my deductible)...kewl! They (the thieves) didn't steal a thing from inside the truck and they left for me an almost full 20 lb propane tank and one of those heavy duty plastic truck tool boxes (although it's not in the greatest condition and it doesn't fit my truck) ... kewl!! The damage to the door where they broke in ... haha ... that was already like that so basically, they utilized the same "break in entry point" that someone else had done before I got it and that was never fixed so now I get that fixed for free LOL. The steering wheel was all worn away and I had a cover over it coz it was so bad... now I get a new steering wheel and a cover too!! So, all-in-all I think I came out of this pretty good.

welll... that's news to me...I was going by other information I found on this topic when I had mine welded. Since I'm no welder, I can't comment but when someone says to me that it's made out of stainless steel and you need a welder who knows how to weld stainless steel...then that's what I do. ??????? All the better if it's nothing special and any welder who can run a mig welder can do it.

Aluminum .... or "pot metal"??? I dunno but if levers are made out of pot metal, I wouldn't put any heat to them.
