  1. Welcome to a great site! Lived most of my life in Michigan, as a youngster in and around Detroit, then the bulk of the time in Battle Creek. Riding is outstanding down this way, so enjoy!
  2. Is Wild Hogs Roadhouse down in Miamisburg still open? I know its got plenty of parking, and a big sit down area inside, but they were having problems getting local permits for their outdoor events and the locals were trying to shut them down.
  3. I worked in Redwings for years, in fact still have a couple of pairs for work. They refuse to wear out. But I just bought a pair of maybe the best boots I have ever worn. 100% American made, up in Wisconsin. Thorogood Boots. And man are they comfortable.
  4. Here is how I would remove a pilot bearing from inside the end of the crank on my old sbc motor. Fill the hole partially, with grease. Make sure its at the back of the hole. Then take a drift that just fits into the bearing, the closer the size, the better. Take a hammer and strike the drift like you were hammering it into the hole in the crank. It forces the bearing right our, even if the bearing was pressed in.
  5. Exactly. This little bit of snow and slush is nothing. If ya can't handle driving reasonably, can't handle a little snow, then stay home.
  6. I've heard this is a good clean place to stay too....'bout 50 miles from your meetup spot... http://creeksidelodge.com/lodge.html
  7. They couldn't give me one. Matter of fact I wouldn't take anything GM anymore. I have issues with their bailout and what they have done with our money since. Screw them, the govt should have let them go belly up.
  8. This is becoming more the norm most everywhere. I have been looking for an old yamaha dirt bike, '70s vintage. I am seeing prices like $3k! And when I call to check them out, they are already sold. Supply and demand, too many people who are willing to just open their wallet without using what I would call common sense.
  9. Coffee Shop Visits-Never go Incandescent Light Bulbs-LOL Disposable Water Bottles-Very seldom buy them. Baggage Fees-Never Fly Subscriptions You Don't Use-Very few, use what I subscribe to Baby Food-Nope Credit Score Fees-Nope Cable-gotsta have Landline Phones-Free long distance Cleaning Supplies-LOL ATM Fees-Nope Home Repairs You Can Do Yourself-I do most everything myself
  10. Every hotel/motel I have asked about parking my bike inside has said NO!!!....lol. One little joint in Gunnison, Co. did have a nice porch and said I could park it up on the covered porch. Think you can pull in it through a single door? I always figured on having to get a handicap accessible room for that.
  11. Riding the Black Hills and the Needles around Rapid City, Deadwood and Sturgis is simply spectacular. We rode out there before the event (mid June) to avoid the throngs of bikes just so we could ride the area. We rode out and laid over 2 nights but we went across I70 through Missouri then north. Taking a more direct route might let you stay over just one night if you like 8-10 hour ride days on the super slab. We preferred 2 lanes once we crossed the Missouri at Council Bluffs Iowa into Omaha. Sturgis and Wyoming slab speeds are 75 mph so once there you can make great time riding across SD. Devils Tower in Wy is not too far from Rapid City and is a cool stop as well. I want to go to Sturgis once to experience it all, but I get tired real fast of being in the middle of massive crowds like that. Actually riding in Wyoming turned out to be fantastic too. Maybe better overall considering everything.
  12. All I can see are more bikes going down......hope it all turns out for the best but usually things like this end up being abused.
  13. Your mancave turned out great! Bigtime diff from the time when I came over to pick up that table saw. Congrats man!
  14. Comcast has been at the top of the list of worst customer service off and on for years now. We had problems with Verizon getting much the same kind of indifferent responses. We kept digging online and found a list of the people on the board for Verizon. The list also had phone numbers and email address's. Surprising how fast we got good service with a couple of carefully considered phone calls to some board members. Seems the Comcast headquarters was in Denver back when we used them. Good luck!
  15. I just don't like the lines of the Victory

    Snowing...

    I love the fact that around here we get very little snow.
  17. I'm sure this has already been considered, but is the deck you are setting this on built to handle that kind of weight? Over 8#/gal plus the weight of the tub and occupants adds up quick. Then there's the sloshing wave action I am thinking is going to happen......lol
  18. After watching so many video's of off road riding I am now looking for an old (70's) enduro like my old Yammie 360. Cool stuff here
  19. And I'm bettin your wife doesn't frequent this site, right??? LOL
  20. Actually I was sad to see OSU lose. Its being said the UMeyer said for once he was taking over a program that was not broke. I think the program is in worse shape than he is letting on. But they will recover and bring good football back to the university before too long.
  21. LOL, man I have to agree this site is great. So I am guilty of just trying to sell a cable I bought from bestbuy for too much, unknowingly. I put a price on it less than half what I paid, and usually most people I have dealt with expect to haggle the price. I never really figured to get what I thought it might be worth. And instead of someone just pm'ing me about the price deal, I get links showing where people can get cables cheaper? On any other site I deal with that kind of bs is considered by admins to be a bullshit action. A couple of them would give offending members a warning. Guess not here tho. Instead it becomes a frenzy trying to make me look like I am trying to screw someone. I wasn't pissed about the money but rather the way it came down. So maybe I was wrong about this site. Or is it just the members? But the members make the site most of what it is, so go figure. When I deal with someone I try and show them respect but not when they start shitting on me right out of the gate. Something I would never do to someones 'for sale' thread. Go ahead and blaze away, make yourselves feel good.
  22. six doesn't seem you need to try to be a dick, it just comes naturally. As to your free cable, I would be very careful taking anything from you, its probably diseased. Yep crazy, I see the cable prices have dropped alot. Guess I am just screwed trying to get anything out it.
