  1. I had some issues with my Ruger MIII 22/45 just after I purchased it last July. The loaded chamber indicator didn't work and it would drop mags out of the grip occasionally. I had watched some u-tube videos of the surgical procedure for cleaning it and I thought that the little nub behind the rear sight would take a beating if one was not extremely careful when cleaning it. Well it went back to the factory and when I got it back I got a note from the Ruger technician stating what he had replaced and that he gave it a good cleaning. Sure enough, the little nub took a beating. It is only cosmetic but still.... As far as shooting performance I love this gun. It seems very well balanced and I find the trigger pull to be smooth and predictable. The sights are very accurate out of the box although my old eyes can't see them all that well. My previous pistol was the 45 I carried as a Navy Corpsman back in.....well the ships had just converted to steam. Two of my friends have shot it and were impressed enough that one has already purchased one and the other has it on his Christmas list.
  2. LOL. Look familiar to ya Pokey?
  3. The DL needs more than 110 links. My 06 needs 116 links chains and an 07 takes 118.
  4. I survived an IRS audit. It cost me thousands but I was able to demonstrate that I correct down to the penny. After a 2 year rectal probe by the Treasury Department all I got was a letter stating "we will take no further action on that years return." My accountant said that was as close to an apology as I was going to get.
  5. I have most of Saturday available if you need any help. I also have my new pistol if you want to do some shootin.
  6. Welcome "B". Any idea of how many are attending this year? Let me know how I can help. I have that Friday off.
  7. "But my womb proved to be a barren place where his seed could take no purchase."
  8. I can finally rid my yard of those pesky rabbits.
  9. Did you used to own a black 07 DL1000?
  10. I like the red ones. White is sharp too but it makes babies cry.
  11. ASK was very easy to deal with but their service dept, not so much.
  12. God Bless. I'll keep a good thought for you.
  13. Congrats. Enjoy the new scooter.
  14. I went with the Madstad and Givi combo. During the summer I prefer the original screen with the Madstad all the way down and all the way back. Lots of good clean air. Milage with the big screen is about 46 to 48 at 70 to 75 indicated compared to 50 to 52 with the stock screen. If you weigh more than 140 lbs consider going with beefier springs to control the fork dive when braking. Set up from the factory it can be a handful in strong cross winds and it is a little slow to turn in on the corners but raising the forks about 1/2 inch and getting a fork brace makes her one sweet handling bike.
  15. Bought my wee new and it was my very first bike. I had heard that it was not a good beginner bike as it is too top heavy for newbs at slow speeds. Well I have survived for 22,000 miles and handling this big girl has never been a problem. I'm a large fellow so I upgraded the front springs and may soon have the rear shock rebuilt for my fat ass. The wind management from the original wind screen is absolutely horrible. Speeds above 45mph can produce migrane-like headaches. But that is an easy fix. I am a fairly conservative rider but I have had little problems keeping up with all my buds that owned the big vee. I have loaded it up and ridden freeways and back roads and never felt that I needed more hp. I have the zuk gel seat and it was comfortable for my longest trip of 400 miles. Having never ridden a sport bike, I have no idea how it handles compared to a sportier bike. Good luck with your purchase and enjoy the ride.
  16. I'll gladly trade you your sinus problem for my whooping cough.
  17. Prayers out for a speedy recovery.
  18. I am so sad for your family. May he rest in peace. Semper Fi
  19. I'll have you know there is a dead bug on the windscreen.
