    As above, you can key anything you want into the text and make it appear as a quote by using the [ ] keys on your keyboard... " [ " then " quote=JimBob " then " ] " then " body text " then " [ " then " /quote " then " ] " (leave out the " and the spaces and of course the word "then") I had to do it this way otherwise it winds up as a quote.

    so what you're inferring is the 2nd gen engine is inferior? The old guy who retired didn't pass along all his "secrets" to his apprentice eh?
  6. SilvrT
    What's different between the 2nd gen & 1st gen in this regard? I've had 2 1st gens and don't get this "tapping" sound ever.

    I'm going to Home Depot this evening to check this stuff out. What exactly does "RTV" stand for? and about what section of the store might I find this? Thanks

    This isn't a replacement light but an add-on. I mounted these where the helmet holders (were) on my 1st gen. They are "impressive". See Item B, page 29 of the Trailer and Towing section of Princess Auto's on-line cataloge (downloadable in pdf format)

    AHHHHHHHH... that looks very much like the old-style computer keyboard plugs. I'm pretty sure I got one of those somewhere and can probably adapt it.
  12. SilvrT
    I'm guessing that's a PS2 connection then? The one on my 1st gen looks much bigger than that.

    Since we're on this topic, does anyone know if there's an adapter that can be used on the stock 1st gen headset wiring connector that will allow a person to use those little earplug type speakers used on things like mp3 players or ipods, etc?

    Quote "Dress in layers with adequate air space in between." First of all, what is considered "adequate" air space? Secondly, I've always wondered...if you have layers, how do you get air space in between as each layer "lays" against the next.? (just a couple "dumb" questions) Now for my "tip"... never take a running "mount" on your bike from the left side as you'll probably wind up on the ground, on the right side of the bike, with the bike on top of you. "hi ho silver!" (don't ask me to explain how I know this)

    hmmmmmmmmm.... I'd be interested in knowing if those "imaginary" cones stay in place when you hit them or...??? sorry, just ribbin ya but I had to say something!

    A person (youth or adult) with a new M/C license and never having ridden before can go out and ride the most powerful bike there is. similarly, a person with a basic drivers license having driven nothing but small cars around the city can go out and drive a class A motorhome and/or a truck pulling a 5th wheel trailer. Neither are required to take a course. There's something wrong with both of these pictures IMHO. There needs to be some kind of government regulations on this.

    I guessed that ya nut! ... when I went and looked, there was nothing...I just went and looked again and found YOUR email in my JUNK MAIL !!! :sign20: :sign20: :sign20:

    I do? where? (there's nothing showing up top here)
  19. SilvrT
    That's good info...thanks a bunch. The general consensus appears to be that it's ok to plug the tire and that Ride-On is a good product. I think I'll go with those solutions.

    Bike has been parked all winter. Discovered that the rear tire was almost flat (yet it was around 45lbs when I parked it). Checked the tire and noticed a piece of metal like a nail embedded into the tread. Haven't tested for a leak yet but will later tonight. No idea how long it might have been there but recall air pressure dropping about 10lbs over a 2 month time span last summer. The tire is good and is a Avon Venom-X so I really don't want to replace it yet. Can such a thing be fixed? We used to (and probably still do) put plugs in car tires. Can this be done on a m/c tire or what?

    Paul, some questions for ya since you seem to be "in the know" ... 1500 & 2000? At what point does one know when they've done enuf with the 1500 to switch to the 2000? At what point do ya know when you've done enuf of the 2000? How much of each grit of paper would one go through say... for a piece about 3' x 3'?

    I've ridden the Whistler/Squamish route several times as well as the one I mentioned above. I like also to go from Vancouver, up the Fraser Canyon to Cache Creek, just north of there swing over to Lillooet, over to Pemberton, then Whistler, Squamish, and back to Van. It's a 2 day trip and Lillooet is an interesting stop over. Also been down & up the Oregon coast. Going down is better coz you're on the ocean side of the highway but watch the weather coz it can be quite cold when a fog bank is hangin around.

    at least they don't rust like "kawatanium" or "harlytanium" :sign20:
