Pegscraper told you the right way to do it. That man knows his bikes.

WOW, THIS IS A COOL THREAD!!!
-
Hey all!!!! All hail "THE GREAT DON"!!!!!! We have our guardian bells. You did a heck of a good job buddy!
-
Brothers, listen up! Kit and Rick are telling you straight. I have followed their posts for some time on this subject and have personal experience of what can go wrong. Too bad these guys are not designing brake systems for Mama Yamaha.
-
Ken, congratulations!!!!!Hope you enjoy the new ride. HD makes some nice bikes. I am sure you will love it on the road.
-
Don, thanks for for everything. Stand up people like you make the world a better place. Merry Christmas. :cool10::cool10:
-
Congrats on the new ride. Stay safe.

Hey, thanks for the good information. When you have a consistent problem like this one just viewed... management knows. They just don't care. If management sets a high standard and sticks to it, the staff will too.

Hey, you guys have a great time this weekend. Take a couple of pic's and post 'em please. Y'all ride safe y'hear!

I have been following this thread for a while now and it surprises me how long it has been going. It seams that we are putting a lot of these people down, when instead we should be looking at ourselves. Our schools have failed them and folks, when the schools are failing we need to look at ourselves. We need not always tax ourselves more to have better schools and teachers, but we sure do need to take an active interest in our schools. Maybe volunteering, chaparoning a dance, going to athletic events, school plays. These schools are are the most valuable asset our communities will ever have. They bring jobs, provide a community center, and try to serve everyone. What we have seen in this thread is the result of not just poor schools, but a communty failing to support their schools. If you are on this site, thank your teachers and school that you have the ability.

Bubba, don't let some jerk ruin your day just by his bad manners and lack of saftey. It ain't the bike, it's the driver. I frequently ride with a bunch of sport bikes and they are all great guys, young and old. We had a couple that liked to show how aggressive the could be, but a bunch of the older guys showed them thier scares and the time off work and wrecked bikes. Now we enjoy their company even more cause we know the are going to be safe and not get hurt. Heck one even came to visit me when I was in the hospital after wrecking my bike. He thought that if it happened to me it could damn well sure happen to him. Ride safe brother

Tonight it is making me feel really good to read these well thought out responses. I don't think I would have posted it except I had to speak before it was toio late and I might not be able to. As many of you know I wrecked my bike back on Oct 5th and suffered some broken ribs and a busted collar bone. Today I had surgery to repair the collar bone and it went well. Must have been all of the postive Karma this fine group of people generate. Now I am finally on the mend.

Glad to hear (no pun intended) it Kit. Enjoy that great bike of yours and ride safe.

Being tolerant does not mean that we have to change or relinquish our own beliefs, I am just asking that we respect others as we respect ourselves. This post is not ment to imnlame or start something, it is only a request to share bikes andd good fellowship. Thanks for your thoughts.

Mackinawman, that must have been some great egg nog. Thanks.

I was just sittin' here reading what some others had posted regarding the way people look, young versus old, and aliens versus those who have been here a while. It seams to me that we have been dealing with those problems since this country was first settled at Jamestown, VA. The older generation has always been inventing new stuff that made life both better and and more difficult for the younger generation. We often did'nt like the way they looked or dressed, hell we didn't even like the music they listened too. Now some of it has become classic. My dad (now gone) could not stand men with long hair or mustaches, now it is the fashion. Well, things change and we have to change with them and learn. When we came back from Viet Nam, we were not welcomed home and were harassed. Now when the troups come home they are heroes, and they are. But we are not taking care of them, just like before. We see, kids with spikey hair, illegal immigrants, different religions that we have known about but never met their believers before. A black man running for president, that is credible candidate. Wow, things are changing and staying they same all the time. These people and things I mentioned earlier are our furture and we should embrace it. We don't know where it will go, but go it must. Ain't it wonderful. Please think about the people I mentioned earlier, it is not what they look like, or where they came from that is important; it is what they will do with their lives that will be important. It is our responsibility to help them develope in their own way that is important. We must open our hearts and minds and accept them and their ideas. As I am sure our parents and grand parents accepted us. See these changes as opportunity. I am not sure what caused me to write this. I hope after you have read it, you will think too. Maybe it is just because tomorrow is kind of a big and anxious day for me. After I get home late tomorrow it will be interesting to see what some of you have to say. I hope I did not ramble too much.

Don, well said. Thanks for all you do. I have some fairly strong politcal views and religous feelings. I try not to share those points of view on this site. It is not the place for these types of discussions. I like others here am offended by discriminatory remarks. Everyone has a point of view. It is OK to share but in the correct venue. Thanks Orrin
-
I would go one heck of a long way to meet some of you fine folks!... and then it would be a short trip!
-
Kit, thanks! OC
-
Hey Kit, just kidding. My place is open to riders also. I hope some of you will stop by this next riding season.
-
Hey Kit, thanks for all you do and share with the rest of us. Glad this worked out for you. I am still so far out from getting back on a bike that I drooling when I think about you just testing the brakes out. My surgery to fix the collar bone is Wed at noon. I get nervous just thinking about it, but what choice do I have? Can't keep going like this. I gotta get back to Rick and get his set up ordered after the first of the year.
-
Scot, if you bid on that, I have a bridge I will sell you.
-
I am with the rest of you. I like going with a few friends, we know how each other rides and it is more relaxed. I also like when a new friend joins, but I don't care for the group to get too large. We took 13 bikes and 16 people to Mountainview AR. last year and it worked out well. Drove the speed limit and did not do the slinky thingy. We stopped for gas at about 100-125 miles and EVERYBODY gased...worked well. JMHO

I think what I will do for next year is get Rick Butler's proportioning valve rig and install it along with the Lifesave tcb valve. Kit I am going to let you try both together 'cause I really think you are a much better rider than me. My take a long bike trip next year and might even go your direction or there abouts. Be fun to meet some other riders of Ventures. By the way Kit, I looked at your picture...you ugly...not as ugly as me...but still ugly. :rotf::rotf::rotf:

Rick and Kit, I am watching this thread closely. Thanks for all of the great information.
