Had a ROCKIN' good time at my benefit saturday~ ~~~

by

I'll go through the pics & post some of em soon. Between the poker run, auction, 50/50 drawing & donations at the door I came away with $1500. All in all a very good day indeed. Got to hang out with some old friends & made some new ones too. It don't get ANY better than that.

I got the checks sent out from here & The Barn & they said some guy in GA was sending more. Thanks again for that Dragon.

I want to THANK EVERYONE whether you sent in anything or just sent up good thoughts or prayers for me. Rock On I'll let everyone know what's going on as I find out myself.

Thanks Ace & maybe you should ride a shovel. ...

For some reason they seem to like the cold a bit better than those cold blooded evo's. ;O) I'd have to say the reason they take so much longer to warm up is the aluminum cylinders shed heat faster than iron does. At least that would be my guesstimate. I'm usre someone WAY SMARTER than me could answer that better though.

Is the bed

yes but I made it look like an OEM "gap"....

by

the bed rail houses a square tubing frame under it that ties straight to the cab wall frame (hidden). It's uprights run inside the stakepockets and tie it to the bottoms. So basically, its a square tube frame for the be walls, anchored at the bottoms and at the top into the cab wall.

I didnt want it to be seamless so I still have a gap at the stake pockets,and the front bed wall.
Although there isnt any need for there to be other than looks..

The Boat....

by

I wonder what it looks like today, I am sure the wooden bits are falling apart,I have not looked at it since that day.

If anyone is wondering the 6th pic is me enjoying a cup of coffee after my BBG 1500 mile ride, was a bit chilly, started out at 41F,rode into a stiff wind all the way accross ND, and the high for the day was 51F just as I reached Billings, the 1/2 way point.The low was 34F and freezing drizzle,Buffalo, WY. The last 80 miles were the coldest feeling,about 39F and fog, the damp air just penetrated my clothing. There, I am wearing down and fleece, but have since graduated to an electric jacket. 1581 miles 23:05 hrs, not sure I need to do that again. But I look happy. After coffee and breakfast, I rode home, took a nap, then got up and went for a ride........yep I am and idiot, and certified by the IBA

Be careful out there ...

by Daggy

A friend at work stopped by the shop this afternoon to show me his shoe.
Earlier this summer he bought a pristine all black E-Glide from another friend at work, and was riding it all summer; I saw it parked there nearly every day.
Last week, he took a "short" 3-mile ride and a dog ran out in front of him.
He regrettingly told me how he squeezed too much front brake, and you guessed it, down he went.
No helmet, tennis shoes:

[linked image]
(Yes, my phone takes crappy pics)

Opened that shoe right up.
$4000 damage to the 'Glide.

SEE!!!! I knew it...

by Reaver

Back in the fall of 07, I said I wanted to put $6k away in savings for an "Opportunity Fund" so when a bike deal comes around I could jump on it. It was intended to be a two-up bike for the wife and I.

We had a family emergency that came up that prevented me from doing it... but I knew bike prices would give an opportunity like that! That's a prefect example of what I was looking for. I never imagined there would be an UltraClassic in that condition for that price. But I would sooo go for that bike if I could!

Wife and I are still planning on this process, we're just working thru other priorities first.

best part of that article

by

"All this sounds startlingly similar to the business practices that got Harley into so much trouble in the first place. It'll continue to rely on the same demographic buying the same motorcycles and, since a large proportion of those customers don't have enough money to buy either the bikes or the accessories, it'll continue to give loans to people that can't afford to repay them. It'll make those loans using money that it has, in turn, borrowed, often at a higher interest rate than what's being charged to customers. The company has presented no short-term plans to pursue the design of motorcycles with appeal outside its existing customer base and is therefore hoping the customers of other brands change their preference rather than finding new ways to appeal to new customers. As Boomers age beyond their riding years and see their purchasing power massively reduced by the end of cheap credit, Harley is failing to understand either the need or the means to reach a younger or wider audience. Relying on the market for motorcycles to return to its pre-recession levels without taking active steps to see it do so seems a remarkably naive way to do business. Harley is now effectively a passive passenger riding the economy's roller coaster. If the economy goes up, a lot, it might be OK. If the economy goes down or remains stagnant, it may find itself unable to repay that $1.9 billion and be forced to seek protection from its creditors."

younger demographic

by Nadz

Harley's trying. Really- just look at the VRSC* (which all the old school hoggers hate and is too expensive for the new school) and the XR1200 (which is basically a late-90's Buell wannabe). Your demographic is dying, but you stay classy, H-D.

Meanwhile, I doubt there's a Buell to be had in any NY or PA dealership. I know- I called them all on Friday and they were stampeding out the doors. You'd think everybody would want out of a dying brand, but exactly the opposite is true- Buell has actively cultivated both their young and old customer bases, and most of 'em want more!

Re: What pic?

by Alchemy

What I was thinking was: the villain logo/print on the back of the shirt and a small 'GLMC' on the front breast. I have a few that are that style.

AAAH, I get it

double sided printing on shirts is kind of expensive. We're flat busted most the time, just trying to get events to cover their own expenses.
The big Villain logo on the front was the best we can afford. sorry

no problem

Just pointing out something unexpected (to me). It was a fun excuse to go for a ride. Depending on what the tour is next year, I might sign up again. I've done a tour a year for the last decade- so yep they are fun. Of course I think the guys on the east have a 'gimme' just due to the density of the population.

My plan is to use it for LD riding

REALLY tall gearing, Main tank, PLUS a Tourtank cell on the back. I got a killer front end from Milkman YEARS ago and will finally use it. Stock spoked rear wheel, fenders on bothe nds out of aluminum that I'll make. Mid controls with fold down highway pegs, Not sure on what to use for main tank yet.

That's cool

by Apehanger Hank

I think the XS650 is a pretty adaptable motorcycle. I was on Omar's site last night looking at his street tracker conversions and I see plenty choppers and bobbers. If you have enought length in the spine, you could run 5 gal fatbobs on it and fit the tach where the speedometer normally goes.

My syptoms have been loss of conceisness, paralysis on one side of the body, numbness, tingling in the hands & feet, speach problems, severe vertigo, dizzyness, severe nausea, severe headaches, extremely LOUD ringing in the ears, balance problems & ambulatory difficulties.

Yep but what's even crazier is. ...

by

The way the VA has repeated said this is NOT causing any of my symptoms but they can't find anything else it could be so nothing needs to be done since some people are born with these.

Um Yeah OK so I might have been born with it BUT since it's caused me to have "Stroke like sypmtoms" I would think NOW would be the time to take care of it. {Actually if you go back 6-12 years ago according to my medical records I was complaining of these same EXACT symptoms}

Funny that when I finally got a CD of my last MRI & dropped it off to a real doctor {one outside the VA system} he had someone call & set up the appointment BEFORE his office even opened.

Hell I've made it this long so hopefully I can hold out until that other Long Haird Country Boy who just happens to be a neurosurgeon can do my Brain Salad Surgery

THEN maybe I can Get Back to my regualr Ridin' & Wrenchin' sessions. happy.gif

Yeah, well

by RipperŪ

we've done it before on this and other boards. We helped out a few guys and their families when they needed it. It's just too tough right now...

This economy is just so bad. I've been out of work since August. Ran my own shop for over 30 years, so I don't know what I'm going to do now. The last shop sucked all of my money and I ended up owing a bunch, so not only am I broke now, with no income, but I will have to get a job just pay off my debts. That's the only reason I can't do anything to help right now. I've been selling parts I had accumulated over the years, but that's not going well either, since as you well stated, I'm not the only one in this leaky boat, with no oars, heading straight for the falls.

Keep your positive attitude going, it is more important than anything else.

Went for a ride two weeks ago...

My friend and I went for a ride. Long Island NY to Vegas and back. We rode to Pikes Peak, Garden of the Gods, Royal Gorge Bridge, Arches National Park in Moab Utah, Bryce Canyon, Zion National Park, Grand Canyon, down through Arizona to Vegas. Rode south along the Mojave towards Needles California, then took I-40 home. Here's some pics...


We did a SS1000 from L.I. to St. Louis, as my friend hadn't done one.

I called a few Buell dealers, found one 500 miles west in Hays Kansas that could have one overnighted. I paid for it, and continued west towards Kansas...

We got to Hays, found a room, and slept. Next morning, rode to Harley to chaeck in, and was told mount would be in about 10am. Great! Ran some errands, and went back at 10 to find the mount waiting. We wrapped a ratcheting tie strap around the muffler, and over the top of the frame, tightened it up, and lifted the motor right up. Changed the mount, and onwards to Colorado Springs....

This part of the trip was crazy..We had steady 40 mph winds blowing directly across the road for hundreds of miles. There was smoke from wildfires blowing across the road in Flagstaff, and wicked sand storms east of there. The wind was strong enough to blow the bikes off the kickstand if left alone. Made for an interesting ride.

After a bit of troubleshooting, Charlie found this...

a broken fuse. Not blown, but it cracked, I guess from fatigue..

We rode 972 miles the last day from West of Nashville to home, it was a great trip, and look forward to seeing some more of this beautiful country.

I know what you mean about the wind! We were in Mesa Verde, Colorado. The Rangers at the park said they had never seen a wind like that. I was concerned the bike would blow over so I found a shelter to park behind.
We had a great ride around Colorado, Fall colors were perfect!

Great adventure..

I'm a K.C. native and the pic of Arthur Bryants made me hungry. It's hard to believe there was a baseball park just two blocks up the hill at 20th and Brooklyn. The home of the Kansas City Athletics. Nice and flat out there around Hays KS ain't it?

We

were amazed with Kansas, it was awesome. I wasn't sure what to expect riding through there, but we were both pleasantly surprised! The Flint Hills were beautiful, and Hays itself was a cool little town. We missed their Octoberfest by a day. We were told the whole town shuts down and goes drinking!

Now you did it..

another memory, Royals Stadium, Chiefs next door. That crown on the scoreboard was built by my friends sign company, I got to see it under construction in the shop. Each one of those balls is six feet in diameter. I haven't made a motorcycle road trip in ten years but I got to see a good one in your pics. thanks.

you guys, I'm glad you enjoyed my post. Like I said, it was an amazing ride. When I thought the view I was seeing couldn't be any better...we turned a corner, and the view was even better. My crappy pictures do not do any justice to the sights we saw. I feel so lucky to have had the chance to do the ride. Charlie and I were fortunate, as we were able to meet up with our families halfway through the ride. We met up with our families in Mesa Az, and stayed there for a few days...

Lee, rumor has it, on the BadWeb (buell) website, that a low mile, 06 Uly with bags went for 4500.00. Not bad...the Stelvio looks bad ass according to the pics I've seen, but haven't seen one in person...

Stelvio vs. Uly...

by

I've got a Guzzi Quota and have ridden Guzzis for years, I'd take a Uly over the Stelvio in a heartbeat. The Uly is an engineering gem and a on of fun where the Stelvio is a blatant attempt to edge into BMWs GS dominance.

Buell getting shivved by HD is a complete surprise to me, I thought they had something good going.

Springfield Museum Opening - Indian Moto-Cycles!

by murdercycles

Rode up to Springfield, Mass today to see the museum opening. The Indian Museum curator handed over all her stuff to the city and they built a place to show it all.

I pestered the sales staff all week and they let me ride an XR1200.

As a joke I asked if we could enter the show. They said yes and we got free admission. Free is good.

Loved it

by murdercycles

Of course needs louder exhaust and could use a little more snap for throttle wheelies. Brakes, handling, style are all great. With the factory bags and tank bag, you could live with this bike everyday.
It really doesn't feel like a Sportster at all.

a friend of mine has one...

by

and I've been lucky enough to put a hundred or so miles on it. It is pretty fast, but it seemed to me that it was geared a little too short to live on the e-way. Maybe it's just me?

As a comparison, from 0 to 60, it ran very close to a Suzuki 1200 Bandit. It runs out of juice to keep up after that, but still a blast to ride. I love it.

I once had a small chuck that was about 3 1/2" in diameter that I would clamp in the 4-jaw.

Just a thought in case you can't find jaws for yours.

VFR1200 Honda

by

http://www.motorcycle.com/manufacturer/honda/2010-honda-vfr1200f-revealed-88803.html

Ok, so its high tech,a nd its a shafty,a nd its sport touring, so, I ask,other than styling, what is its edge over the ST1300?
Honda competing against itself?
Love the color and the single sided swingarm. See, I said something nice about it!

ST1300 covers that also

More tech info on it. Lot lighter than the ST1300, more agressive seating, shaft drive though, bag options, ad some muttering of a center stand otion. Fascinating machine for sure.

Paddle shifters????

Their description actually made sense out of the dual clutch design. Muffler is sure butt ugly though.

It's brand new.

by chris r

Probably about broken in.

Most of the math data comes over the internet though it has the software to draw. It is totally different from all the CNC mills I've ran. FANUC control panel is different than I've seen, out of all but three machines in the whole shop.

The guy that was training me on the Mastercam got fired a little over a week ago so I have been winging it with about a 75% average on whether I get it to go or not. Still learning the new language. I am just chipping away at it and keeping my hand on the throttle.

Neat article on how to drill a square hole. Not a new idea, it was patented in 1917!

Reminds me of a poster my Math Teacher used to have.

by Reaver

It asked if a square wheel could roll. And then listed various other shapes... and asked if they could roll. The answer is yes...but it depends on the shape of the ground over which it rolls. And then laid out the shape of the sufrace for each shape to roll over.


A quick goolge search yields a pic to illustrate that discussion.
