  20. Randy , you know , after i saw yours i did the same thing , still works great ! i have had 2 fl. troopers and 1 ga. trooper look at mine , all 3 of them said they are not quiet illegal because they are in the head lite and the headlite never gos out , the ga.trooper said if they were in the driving lites he would bust me . i don't ride at nite , i am nite blind , i can see at nite but all lites look like head lites on hi beam . i have seen m/cs that have too brite driving and head lites during the day , i can't see anything but there lites , i can't tell if there are any cars behind or beside them . i was asked why m/c don't have yellow driving lites any more , the man said it was eazy to tell a bike from a car in the old days . when i bought my bike it had yellow fog lites on it but they did not look good and got deep sixed . maybe at one of our meet and eats one of us can take some pics of the dif. lites we all use during the day from say 500 ft. away and post them and we can see witch is the best , i would like to see them and it is better to know i can be seen than hoping i can be seen . i am starting to type as much as i talk , oops Thom

  24. i have not posted for the last 2 weeks , been in a bad mood so i just lurked , reading every thing here every day to make me feel better . Silver got hit 2 weeks ago . i went shopping for a frig. at a local shop and parked 20 feet behind a car when i went inside i asked whos white car is that is out there , the lady , who is the owner of the shop said it was her's and i told her that i parked behind her and don't leave with out telling me . i bought a used frig from her and she ask me how i was going to get it home and i pointed at Silver and said i'll put it in the trunk of my bike could she have somebody give me a hand ? she laughed and i told her that my son will be here with a truck and trailer to pick it up . so while my son and i are loading the frig she comes up and is waiting for us to finish and than tells me she knocked over my bike , she not only knock it over but pushes it about 8 ft. after i get it up she tells me that she is closed and i need to move the bike so she can leave , i tell her to call her insureance co. she tells me that her ins. is in ohio and i need to have my ins. co fix it i said so my ins. is in fl. and she needs to call her ins. or i am calling the pd . that got her on the phone real fast , after she told the ins. co. what happened and thay told me thay would fix it , 4 days later a ajuster called me from ohio and said a ajuster from tx will come to me and take pic'c that took another week but he took a lot of them . the ins.co is nationwide and seams ok . the rite side is a wreck , fairing , mirror , rite panel that holds the class , rite bag , highway peg and trunk . the front bumper is bent pretty bad but i have been riding it to work every day , i hope the ins.co sends me a check pretty soon because Silver is in ruff shape rite now , i had to remove the trunk today because it was falling apart . i guess i am a member of the broken haerts club , i now know how Randy felt . Thom
  25. my , at that time , wife and i had a bike but she had a few to many close calls, she told me to trade in both bikes for a cruiser so she could ride on the back so we loaded both bikes up on the trailer and went shopping at a used m/c where house . there was about 150 bikes in it most of them were cruiser or baggers , most of them were HDs so me and the sales man were working a deal on a very nice hd and the mech. walks up and tells me my wife wants to see me in the back , i told him to tell her that i am dealing with the sales man and when i am done i'll see her . there is a lot of people in this wherehouse a week before daytona bike week and this lady stands up on a m/c seat and yell's out , HAY A$$HOLE , MY B#TT FITS THIS ONE AND NO YOU CAN'T HAVE A HARLEY so 15 mins later i am the owner of a 86 VR with no brakes and no idea how to work on them and a week later i am a member here and i know to work on brakes . don't have wife anymore but still have the VR .
