    Bike lost power and died

    I did none of this. Too much time pressure. Probably end up screwed and tattooed. However, I appreciate the methodology that I should have used- very wise.

    Bike lost power and died

    Hal, Why is it that the bike dealer don't have talent like, say, a Lexus dealer? The labor rate is about the same. Don't understand why the dealers fail to advertise highly trained and tenured techs. The car dealers have figured out that service is where the money is. I bet if there were...

    Bike lost power and died

    I appreciate the inputs and the fact that they are unanimous. These opinions are contrary to another well respect opinion that I received, but that is the value of this forum. Time to fix the ground spider. Thanks everyone for taking the time and effort to respond.

    Bike lost power and died

    Dealers hate my aftermarket wiring. Beside fart sniffing (only my own farts though- just incase Greg has any sick ideas) and to make matters even worse, I helped with the ignition recall effort! Now I have to decide whether the dealer needs to do two things- the ignition and ground- or three...

    Bike lost power and died

    I have a 2006 with 31K miles. After a 100 mile ride today the bike died 15 feet from my driveway. Talk about lucky, I was riding Sunday evening in the rural areas. Here is what happened, bike lost power- no fuel pump or other engine noises like fan. No headlights, only my dash was lit. But...

    Silver Penguin update.

    I was guessing from your injures that you were on the Fjr and it fell on you. Sorry it was the newer ride. Bikes gets repaired and replaced. Glad you are on the mend with a lot of family and canine support. Heal quickly and post up when you are loaded on meds. :) .

    KrZy8 - Mounting Soltek on lower fork tube?

    I would mount them to your helmet and you would have light wherever you look:). Wish I had time to photoshop it- we'll just image Carver with those big lights stuck to his helmet.

    The World's Fastest Triumph

    Lots of strange rides. Do you have a sense of whether or not anybody is setting records? Anything go over 500mph?

    San Fran proposal

    A picnic at a winery in Napa would be nice setting to propose. Some have great views (Sterling Vineyard, Hess, Schramsbergs Caves, Ferrai Carrano), nice bottle of wine, relaxing. Women love that stuff.

    The World's Fastest Triumph

    Vincent's are the coolest bikes ever made. Just look at those castings and the fact they can still run with modern sport bikes. I like the flat black paint. Dave, do you have the fjr? Maybe there is a bagger record to be had? Have fun and report back.

    Ray- you know what I am talking about. Hell, you probably have all the stuff or could put it together in a few hours. Forget ride to eat. Ray put together some ride to some crazy stuff. Cannon mounted on nitro tractor? Snow sleds over a pond with home made fireworks? Pumpkin chunkin at Fjr...

    MERA 10-n-10

    I want to ride a racing lawn mower..... to finally fulfill my redneck dream And then retire in a double wide. Shooting the machine gun while riding the racing mower would likely give me a redneck orgasm.
