The sorry fact is if they want it bad enough they will get it. The best you can do is make them have to work for it.

I let my grand kids drive my speed boat 55+ mph all the time but there is no way in hell they will ever do that To much can happen that you would have no control over  or time to react to. My oldest grand kid is 10 and he still has not been on my bike his first ride will be when his feet can touch the foot pegs

There is a GPS phone tracker program I read about that lets you track any cell phone that you have the number too It uses the same system that 911 uses and it works even if the cell tracker on the phone is shut off its cost was a little over $500 but it would even show the phone moving down the road on the map in real time. I will try to find the link for it and post it. It would be great for keeping track of the wife and kids and you would always know were your friends are. Yep that wouldn’t cause any problems would it? It also has a forum you have to sign saying you will not use it for any stalking purposes

It was called something like celltracker

It is crude but it works. It getting hard to fine the old mercury switches thanks to the EPA

Welcome aboard. I feel I should tell you that riding with other people is over rated. They usually turn out to be asshats. If you don't believe me, just ride with me once and you will understand.

 

 

Holy crap. Now I find out after I signed up for the colossal event of the season. Crap!!

Oh yea. Welcome.

Ok Now you tell us that 

I made my own alarm I took a mercury switch out of an old thermostat and mounted it under the seat so when the bike is on its side stand the mercury is to one side of the tube I run a wire from the battery to one side of the mercury tube with an on /off switch between them. run another wire from the other side of the tube to the horn wire with another switch between them make sure you put the switches out of site after you park your bike you can turn the switches on if someone stands the bike upright the horn will blow. Make sure you turn both switches off before you start the bike.

Disc locks work well on bikes over 500 - 600lbs. Anything lighter than that and 2 guys can be gone with it fast. When I lived in an apartment I chained my Kaw to a guard rail that was in front of my apartment and parked my car in front of it at night. But I have never tried the new disc locks that have alarms

Got to love Ohio weather

Welcome from Ravenna

I told him if he can not get a room he might be able to sleep on the floor of ours but I will have to check with Tim before giving him the ok a 3 way split will save us more money and all the rooms I booked are good for 4 people

Get one of those game cameras for your garage the kind that only takes pictures whenever something walks in front of it and put it where they will not see it you will find out who it is next time they come around if you have kids do not tell them about it.

Here is a Quote from a guy that finally gets it I would like to welcome another Ruffian to the family.

 

= 7even

Picked up my '14 Ultra Classic this morning at 9:30 and rode it pretty much all day. Little background...

I have been a Goldwing owner for more years than I care to share, but it's been a while. It's primarily been due to the fact that my wife absolutely would not be caught on a Harley, as she says "she's not a biker chick" and to her, a Harley is for ruffians. Hey, I'm just telling the truth. As for me, I'm 48 and have heard over and over the horror stories of Harley reliability issues, etc. over the years. Anyway, months ago, I read about Rushmore and decided to begin researching. Long story short....

I have not yet gotten the Stage 4 done yet (Jackpot header is on backorder) however, I have to say, the bike is, in a word, awesome. I have loved every mile that I put on it today. Yep, it has that new bike smell and I have around another 700 miles for breakin however, everything, from the nav to the sound, to feel, to the vibration is more than I have words for. Yes, it really does move the soul.

And here's the kicker; First Day, First Ride, First Everything on a Harley and my WIFE tells me, without me asking, that the Harley is more comfortable for her then the 'Wing (a 2001 GL1800)... I am rarely speechless, but was in that moment. And to top it off, she even purchased a Harley jersey!

HARLEY.... who'da thunk?!?!

'Wings are great bikes, and I won't bash 'em however, now that I have truly ridden a Harley, for me, I could never go back... The Harley is it. Love it!

I wish I could make it but I’m the only one working Saturday my weekend turn. With the good weather it will be a busy day and they would not be happy if I took a mental health day. It looks like we may have another Harley rider on the run with us if he can get a few things cleared up in time.

Im out work 2-11 Saturday Have fun

Never Mind GOT CALLED IN TO WORK

If the employer has no clue, it's the employees fault for not telling management or the employer. Otherwise don't complain.

I worked for Eaton Corp for 31 years as a production engineer After I left Eaton I went to work for a small mom and pop shop that was 20 years behind in technology I knew I could improve their running processes 10 fold and cut their scrap by ¾ I only stayed there a year before I quit and walked out They would listen to salesman BS and waste money on equipment that would not work right for what they were doing. The person with the most experience at the place only had 7 years if one of the family members wanted something they always got it before we would get something we really needed I think the place is out of business now so I know what it is to have and employer that does not have a clue.

Nothing worse than employees who act like they know what they're doing, when they have no clue.

Your Wrong There in nothing worse then and employer that has no clue

Probably a good thing we set the date for June at this rate it may still be snowing in May

Welcome

I know that feeling isn’t that the trust

Mine sees 100+ every time I leave my driveway if it's dry out. I wind her out in first second and third, then snap up to 6 and let her coast back down to cruising speed.

That reminds me of when I was in my 20s I use to do the same thing ever time one day I had just finish sinking up my carbs on the KZ so I took the bike for a test ride thru the neighborhood when I got back to the house a guy pulled in the driveway behind me and started to scream at me about the speed and kids out riding their bikes. About that time 10 of the guys from the club I use to ride with pulled up and parked in front of the house they were a real ugly looking bunch of guys so before me and the guy that was yelling could finish our conversation he ran away looking a little worried. After thinking about it I realized things can go wrong fast at that speed and place. Later that day I saw him out mowing his grass and stopped and apologized to him and never road like that in the neighborhood again

My Harley is faster then I ever need to go. Or for that matter want to go again I had it up to 122 last year and still had a Charger blow past me

Wonder who is going to post bail.

You know it will be Mama she wont be able to let her sweet baby boy sit in jail

My bike sheds water well as long as I’m moving the only things that get wet are my feet

I will be in pirate gear for the ride unless I need to pull out the ranger suit for rain

I ordered a new rain suit for the trip the kind that has all the padding knees hips spine elbows shoulders. It has a very good rating on the web and very good reviews with one saying they road for 8 hours in a downpour and stayed dry the whole time. Well it came yesterday don’t know how good it will be I tried it on it fit very good but when I walked out to show the wife she could not stop laughing for 20 minutes. I’m going to keep it because we road home from Yellowstone with no rain gear a few years ago and it rained on us for 1500 miles. It’s black with silver trim reflectors. You guy might get a good laugh out of it also if we hit some rain I hope we don’t. I might take a mental health day Monday get the bike out and head to Peninsula.
