I thought of another popular series of ads when I saw that Triumph ad. Here ya go! :cheers:

Good thought, I took a look and they are cracked. I don't know if they're leaking but to be safe I just bought 4 new caps and see if that helps. Thanks for the tip.

If you take your time it's not a knucklebuster, just tedious and time consuming. The VT700c Honda, on the other hand, is a total bitch. Twin carbs wedged in between the 45° engine V. Very tight and almost as bad as taking a rack of 4 off a CB550. Now that will make the Pope curse...

Thanks, yeah let me know if that fixed it. If after two tanks with treated gas it is still rough and lean I'll pull the carbs and blast out the passages with compressed air and floss the jets.

Dug the 07 Bonneville out of the garage on Monday (before we got another 8" of snow on MAY FRICKIN 2nd). Started, died, started, died, started, died, started, idling a little rough. Let 'er warm up a bit and then when for a little spin, it tried to die a few times when taking off from...

On the upside, locally we're seeing increasing inventories of AR's and other EBR's, but on the downside ammo is still basically unavailable. I checked 3 stores last week and the only .22LR ammo on the shelves were a few boxes of Fed. #12 shot 'snakeloads'. No 9x19mm, no .40 S&W, no .45...

Wow, KingBear you did awesome on that! I was helping out at my LGS back in August and one guy bought 5 DPMS Oracle AR-15's for $700 each. In January he sold 4 of them back to the store for $1200 each (he profited $2000) and they sold all four the same day to other customers for $1600 each...

Just an FYI, there is a special running on an NRA Life Membership going until 2/28/13. Normally it costs $1000 but until then you can join or upgrade for $300. Here is a link to the offer and a hotline #. It says "for Shooting USA (TV program) viewers" but anyone can take advantage of the...

You probably could! Especially on that Carbon-15, pretty much every AR from the Olympic Arms on up are being sold for a MINIMUM of $1500. Anything considered 'high-quality' or with nice accessories (free-float handguard, fluted barrel, varmint length, two-stage triggers, etc) are going for...

Lol, "Nuns with guns & buns" available now on Blu-Ray#

A month ago my favorite gun shop was selling DPMS Oracle AR-15 variants for about $700-900. Not the most excellent AR around, but not trash. Just needs a better trigger, mostly. Of all types/brands, they had about 60 AR style rifles/carbines - a month ago. Yesterday I stopped in and they...

Just woke up from my day-sleep and read the news... Awful. Disgusting. Sickening. No adequate words to describe this. :mad: The debate will rage on soon enough, today lets just hang our heads and hold each other close. If your kids are young, give 'em an extra hug. If they're out of...

Thanks for the pix, I like to see how different folks store their kit on the Bonnie's. You really can haul a lot of stuff if you're smart about it, and it looks like you are! :) -K

That's on my 'bucket list' (oh how I loath that phrase) too. Another one is starting out around Seattle or thereabouts and heading up the Al-Can highway all the way up to Fairbanks. I have no idea how many miles or how long that'd take, but man, it'd be epic! A few years ago some guys and...

Man I bet the scenery is amazing around there! (probably nothing like the Great Plains, lol!) Looking forward to see some of those vids once you're back! :) -K

Well, you'll probably think this is more "hammering on", but in most discussion forums it is pretty much SOP to respond to posts made in your direction, if you don't like it that's your problem.

Not sure if you're talking to me since you didn't specify, but who gives a crap how many posts anyone makes about any topic? This is a discussion, not a blog. You know, back and forth and all that. Besides, never said I was "leaving motorcycling" (that's partly why I'm unsure if you...

I don't think we actually are that far off from each other. Part of the guy's recovery was getting back on the bike, which for him had positive energy, enjoyment, thrills, etc. For him that was the energy and healing, my point was that for others it may be the other things I mentioned, not so...

Well sure, TOTAL safety is indeed a myth. But certainly one can reduce their overall exposure to proven risks. I'm certainly not now, nor will I ever be "anti-bike", but only a fool would deny that one's overall risk of being killed on the road is higher when riding a motorcycle. Why...

Man, tell me about it! He started crawling 3/31, walking 5/22 (yes, it's all in the baby book) and just this week he learned how to climb onto the couch and coffee table! He's got no fear, runs like a track star (well, a drunk one, LOL). He's a lot of work, but such a great little guy, we're...

I feel guilty that I've got 4 bikes that have been mostly collecting dust ever since my son was born nearly 15 months ago. I know it's no good for a bike to sit. I tell my bike-riding friends that it's because I just don't have any free time anymore, which is mostly true, but a big part of...

Does "pay at the pump" count? We have no snow here in Minnesota right now, so I couldn't pass up the chance to go on a Christmas Day motorcycle ride! Had to bundle-up, it's 37°F and very windy!!! Did one of the nice little 35-mile loops out of town and back, stopped to top up and then...

p.s. I've noticed that I can change this problem a little if I slide way forward, or way back. Not that it's better, just that this does have an effect.

Yep, it's probably the Avon's. You didn't mention which version, AM26 Roadriders? That's what tires I have, and as soon as I mounted them I noticed a new high-speed (>85mph or 137kph) instability, mostly in the straights. If I give one of the bars a little shove, nothing big, just a tiny sharp...
