understand now this is my first rig.78 r80/7 velorex with unit leading links.been out 3 days in succession even though we are only in the 20s.pretty much gotten used to all the strange sensations. no I'm not gonna flip over when I turn into the car haha.i'm surprised how light the steering is, no wide handle bars for me thank you. goes in the snow! goes in the dirt just goes everywhere. my face hurts ... from smiling.this is more fun than the ducati. hell, I haven't had this much fun since the tw200!
Ron, saw you out on a few different 20 some degree days ripping right along like a wild man, even though you had your full face (what no pudding bowl?) helmet on I just knew you'd have a huge grin! Hang in there ese, upper forties for this coming week!
You guys volunteering to clean up the nuclear waste spill for industry ? I'm sure it'll kinda take the chill off the room More fun than a Ducati ! Whew that's allot of fun ! If you anything like me when you think you have it figured out something bad's about to happen ! But yout right leading links are superior !
Well dave actially im a pretty cautious rider. I dont like the taste of asphalt .sunday im going to find a parking lot and lift the chair.never posted pics on adv.clueless.carl guess your hill of a driveway is snowed in. Wheres the dneper now?
My old Dnepr/Beemer was sighted in Albuquerque a few years ago but has since dropped completely off the radar...do kinda miss it when the snow gets deep here on Mount Childers. I'm about to rehab the forks on the Harley with new seals, heavier springs and Cogent DDC cartridge emulators so it'd be out of action even if the road wasn't snow packed, Bandit's apart too getting a carb re-work so that leaves the DR to get me out for a ride and keep some semblance of sanity for me. Have fun flyin' it tomorrow!
Carl You come by your eccentricities honestly Has the HD got some trail reduction ?In another life I sometimes think an HD sidecar rig maybe OK, but I'd never admit it publicly
Dave, I did raked trees on the HD so it steers nicely but the added weight of sidecar just overwhelmed the front end and made it prone to bottoming out. I was having too much fun in the warm weather to fix it so now it's winter rehab time plus some other maintenance stuff. Get yerself a Harley..... the dark side beckons. Besides you don't need to wear all that silly pirate stuff to ride one.
Arrrrrr ! A pirate and his parrot, were adrift in a lifeboat following a dramatic escape from a valiant battle. While rummaging through the boat's provisions, the pirate stumbled across an old lamp. Secretly hoping that a Genie would appear, he rubbed the lamp vigorously. To the amazement of the castaways, a Genie came forth. This particular Genie, however, stated that he could only deliver one wish, not the standard three. Without giving any thought to the matter the pirate blurted out, "Make the entire ocean into rum!" The Genie clapped his hands with a deafening crash, and immediately the entire sea turned into the finest rum ever sampled by mortals. Simultaneously, the Genie vanished. Only the gentle lapping of rum on the hull broke the stillness as the two considered their circumstances The parrot looked disgustedly at the pirate and after a tension-filled moment spoke: "Now yee've done it!! Now we're goon to have to pee in the boat!" Google Damn it's handy !

The Titanic, on her maiden voyage, just set sail from the shores of England. It was the most magnificent ship ever built, and everybody is very excited. No expense has been spared - the vast dining rooms, casinos, hundreds of neatly groomed waiters and polite service staff, string quartets, the works. Every night at the bar, they had this magician come on and perform the most wonderfully amazing tricks of conjury the world had ever seen. It's the first night of the voyage, and everyone is eager to see this great man at work, except there was one slight problem. There was this parrot, who'd sit on the bar top by the peanuts, and ruin each trick as the magician performed them. Each time, the parrot would sit quietly until the trick was almost completed, and say things like, "Squark! It's up his sleeve!" or "Sqeeek! He's hidden it in the hat!" etc., and ruin the trick for the magician. Every time, the parrot would do this, and the magician would get madder and madder as the night wore on. The same happened on the next night, and the one after that. The magician would shake with fury at this silly parrot ruining his world famous show. He spent his days devising even better and more stupendously amazing tricks in an effort to fool this bloody parrot. One night, the magician is about to perform his greatest trick of the voyage. The lights are dimmed, a hushed silence sweeps across the bar floor, a drum roll builds up to a mighty crescendo as the magician performs his final piece de resistance....and suddenly the ship hits an iceberg and sinks... For three days, the magician manages to cling to a door floating around in the wreckage, starving, thirsty. On the third day, he notices at the other end of the door, the parrot, sitting calmly and quietly, staring back at him. For three more days the magician just glowers at him, not saying a word - bitter, hushed, resentful, silence. That is, until one day, when the parrot can't contain himself any longer and squarks, "Alright! I give up! What have you done with the ship?!" .
It's going downhill fast, but back to parrot jokes This guy is in a plane when he feels thirsty. He calls the stewardess and asks her politely for a Large Whiskey.There's a parrot in the seat next to him, who snaps,"A double Scotch and make it quick". "Yes ,sir"the stewardess says, and quickly gets the bird his drink - but ignores the guy. The parrot downs his in one gulp, and says "gimme another". The stewardess gets him a second drink, ignoring the guy again. The guy, meanwhile has been asking for his drink very politely. He decides to use the parrot's tactics and snarls at the stewardess,"You @#*$# hag, get me my bloody Scotch!". Suddenly a large co-pilot comes out of the cockpit and ejects both the guy and the parrot off the plane. As they're falling, the parrot turns to the guy and says "You know, you're quite brave for someone who can't fly...".
My grandmother had a parrot when I was about 18. One day, as I was about to pick her up to take her grocery shopping, the sink backed up and she called the plumber. She'd forgotten all about the sink and the plumber when I showed up to take her to the store. Not long after we left the plumber showed up and knocked on the door. The parrot responded "Who is it?", to which the plumber replied "It's the plumber". A minute or two goes by and the bird remained silent, so the plumber knocks again. Again, the parrot says "Who is it?". This goes on a couple more times, and the plumber is getting mad. He knocks one last time, totally pissed off, and again the parrot asks "Who is it?". "IT'S THE F&$#^&*ING PLUMBER", and he has a heart attack and dies on the front porch. Shortly thereafter, we got home with her shopping and I found him dead on the porch. I said "Hey grandma, there's a dead guy on your porch.", and she asked "Who is it?". The parrot replied "It's the plumber"
