  1. ^^^Who is this guy? ^^^ Oh well,
  2. If my C14 is rev'd before the idle drops on start up it will stall but never on the road and never any problems restarting. Yea I'd look into the PC like the happycat has stated. Why I never want to mess with those things. Nine times out of ten when someone is having problems with their bikes the first thing they say is "I have a PC" not saying it's always the problem just saying they always get mentioned.
  3. It runs good and valves are quiet but maybe they are tight and why we have vapor lock starting problems on hot days. It dosnt get ridden much that's why I've never worried about it.
  4. Since ive been working 3 am to 3 pm all week and going to bed early the wife has been filling me in as well as clips the next morning. She said something about a Men's beach volleyball match yesterday between US and Italy that was exciting.
  5. Not just dealers but private service stations alike I don't understand why they want to screw up customer relations over nickel and dime items. Guy I work with took his vehicle in for a front end noise. Then ended up needing to replace motor mounts, about a $800 job. Now my coworker toke his car there ALL THE TIME, for tires, oil changes, basically EVERYTHING. Well long story short they fucked up a external shift solenoid on the transmission while replacing motor mounts. My buddie wasn't even mad about it till they (one) wanted to over charge him $100 for the part over what Honda dealer wanted for it. And (two) would not give him a break on the labor, they wanted $470 to replace it total. So in a nut they lost his business forever and he's been a customer for 20 years and given them thousands in business. All he wanted was for them to change the part that THEY fucked up and eat the labor, he was going to buy the part himself. We ended up buying one on amazon for $110 and took him and I 30 min to put it on. So they lost a good paying customer over 30 min of labor cost.
  6. Just wait till they are teenagers, get 10 times worse or 20 time worse in your case. Better start scoping out the cheap booze selection now.
  7. Don't think he would ever get tired of that, it's his life style and he would feel empty inside with out it.
  8. Thank Gawd !!! I was tired of reading his shit from day one.
  9. Sounds like I need to check the wifes, 10k on the clock and as far as I know they have never been checked.
  10. When me and the wife ride together I get a kick out of how many cruisers will wave to her in front of me but not me.
  11. I have $210 total in my tourmaster jacket and pants. I couldn't imagine being more comfortable or better equipped. Only issues I had at all this year was after I lost wight I couldn't get the neck strap tight enough to keep the rain off my collar. I rode in the pouring rain for over a hour at freeway speeds and the only thing that got wet was a little bit around my chest that dried out quick. To each his own but I just can see spending all that money on a custom suit when there are hundreds of less expensive options. Over on the ADV rider forum I see guys trying to sell thier suits all the time and they all say "like new" or "hardly worn"
  12. I'm always down for a good old fashioned haters party, and always looking for a reason to feel semi not worthless. I'm in
  13. I've done it on 2 different bikes, once on the TL and it was dry as hell. The second time on big Vee, it was a little wet but not bad. Took a rental car on it once when it was soupy as shit, was driving a HHR and got passed by a honda fit once I let them go around.
  14. Gravel is no big deal anymore, Danimal has showed me that. Somtimes you find the coolest stuff off the beaten path. I ran through several miles of gravel roads last year in Virginia and Tennessee mountians. Seen some awsome views and interesting sights. Only negative from last year was I smashed a flat spot on ny head pipe from a rain washout on a forest service road, connie needs more ground clearance..lol
  15. No input from me since I'm literally a 50/50 prospect of even going. But I'd have no problems doing the entire planned loop but I'm used to doing 500 to 700 miles a day, but I know not everyone can do that.
  16. I've had nothing but luck with my GM products. The old 07 impala that we still have has 190k miles and I've never touched the engine or tranny. When I mean never I mean plugs, wires, belts, hoses, trans fluid and filter are all orginial. I've changed oil and flushed the coolant once. Couple nickel and dime things I've fixed elsewhere on the car and a muffler other than that just the ussual brakes tires and battery have been the only maint. cost. In the 7 years we've owned it, it has been the cheapest car to maintain I've ever owned. Even my Tahoe has 150k miles and other than a dent I put in the door it's physically and mechanically perfect. Hopefully my good luck keeps on flow'n.
  17. The 2014 impala we just bought is bumper to bumper till 2020, I wasn't going to gamble on all the computerized BS that's in that thing. The extra 4 years only cost me $1200.
  18. Never heard of this company before. Checking out their web page now. Oh yea I wont be going because work as usual for a weekend.
  19. No...I know smaller guys that ride them. And it's not about how you look.
  20. That's cute. I work at a paper/box mill, we have steam showers and heat vessels all over my machine. This bottle of water was not chilled or refrigerated. It was sitting beside my lunch pail in a room that was airconditioned to about 75 deg. I brought it out to my work area and after 5 min it looked like this. Humidity is high in here year round but this time of year it rains from the roof rafters some times.
  21. If you and I make this trip bring a for sale sign with you. I'll let you ride the 14 for a spell and you be ready to throw that sign on the bike.
  22. Time to man up, sell that silly little track bike and get a real machine.
  23. I'm still a maybe for this if the stars line up perfect.
