    Fair Price....?

    My friend bought a new 2014A new in the crate for $12,500. in August. There were only two in the whole state at that time. A great price since I paid that for my 2007 left over n 2008. Of course there were the normal D & H, freight, set up, etc. that someone would save on a used unit. The FJR is...

    Oh **** boys. Zilla's gone ORANGE

    Zilla, There is a nice family owned Motel middle of town on 191 called the Bowen Motel. This place is very clean and nice, not 5 star and no problems. Lately we have been renting Townhomes if you have a fair-sized group, it's cheaper and they have 2 car garages to put things in. I'm glad to see...

    Oh **** boys. Zilla's gone ORANGE

    I'm glad you guys had fun in Moab. I've been going over there since 1982. Most everyone I know has had a surprise meeting with the ground over there. A lot of times it's just a hidden rock under the send that sends you flying. I separated my shoulder & broke a couple ribs on Mill Creek coming...

    I may be crazy

    I saw a white one just like that in Lewiston Idaho the last week in August. The owner & wife were Wingers too and just made the switch. They spoke highly of the Spyder and it looked sharp. He told me the wing had become too heavy for him to hold up especially with pillion on board.

    New Knees?

    Don, My friends wife got a knee 2 weeks ago and she's walking already without the cane. Technology improvements from year to year are phenomenal! She had a hip 2 years after her husband had his done and her recovery time was half of his. She did say the knee was more uncomfortable that the hip...

    Gas Prices going HOT - MidWest

    Normally our prices in the Denver area are moderate but have risen .40 c in the last few days. Right now they are pushing $2.75 - 2.99 a gallon. Labor Day won't help either. I wonder how fast the oil company is trying to fix the problem?

    Surely some one here scuba dives...

    Redfish, Like HRZ said there are a lot of people getting trained here and going to popular spots like Cozumel, Lapaz, etc. We train around 1,000 divers a year here! Denver folks and Western folks in general tend to travel a fair amount and run from the cold in Winter. I repair equipment for...

    Surely some one here scuba dives...

    Pj, I manage one of the largest Scuba repair centers in the West. I've heard of ghost dives but I've never seen this. Was it being pressure tested? When pressure testing the sensor has to be fully immersed in water. When buying equipment the best are Aqualung, ScubaPro, Atomic. I would stay...

    Oil Filter Purolator 14612

    I always used the 14610 too. I'll definitely key an eye on this next oil change.

    enclosed trailers

    Around Colorado almost any 6-7 x 12 will bring $24 - 2800.00 especially with ramp door and brakes. Since having two of these I would never go back to an open trailer. I have a tandem axle and they tow so nice you almost forget there behind you.

    ultrasonic cleaners

    Being a Scuba Repair Technician this is my main tool. I use a specific Ultrasonic powder sold by Trident ( SA465} and another by Global. They supply the Diving industry with our repair products. The powder has 3 different acid combinations in it. This stuff wipes corrosion off with a 5 minute...

    Rear-Ended at 70mph—I’m Done!

    I don't blame you at all and I'm glad your alive & walking. Traffic these days is scary as Hell especially around the Metro areas. No matter how many are injured or die people still think they can multi-task and drive safely. Someday all of us will have to make this decision as we age. Good luck...

    Bummer Don. I wish you the best and you may not be able to hoist a 32 oz. draft with that shoulder for a while!! The therapy after surgery will get you mobil again, good luck.

    Setting the Record Straight about Deflate-gate

    Those pictures are Damn funny though. No wonder Lynch won't talk to reporters. The questions are silly and his statements could get really distorted.
