NickDG 23 #906 June 27, 2010 It's about 1400 miles to Sturgis from El Capone! Are you riding or trailering? (Running and ducking.) BTW, I always heard running a belt inside a closed primary wasn't a good idea as the heat destroys the belt. Has your belt been in there a long time?

NickD About 10,000 miles worth! that old cover is far from air tight! That is the original that came out of the crate with the bike, many of the parts are!

skyrider 0 #908 June 27, 2010 As for the trip, we are taking 3 knuckleheads, on a limited amount of time, So we are pussing out and trailoring, something I used to laugh at others for doing! We mighty drop the trailor in colorado though, and ride from there! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NickDG 23 #909 June 27, 2010 That's cool. When you're twenty years old those trips are cool, but when you're old like we are it's not all that exciting. I was in a thread on a Harley forum recently where someone asked, "What's the best thing to take on long cross country trips?" My answer: An airplane!

NickDG 23 #913 June 28, 2010 The hearing for the California Senate Bill that would mandate stock pipes on all bikes built after 2011 is available live as an audio-cast. Nina is registered as a 2010, but if this passes it won't be long before they come for the rest of us. And, Gypsy, this means you knucklehead! http://192.234.214.75/ASM-4202 It's supposed to start at 1:30 PST, but I haven't heard anything yet. Guess the poly-law-tards are running late . . .

NickDG 23 #916 June 28, 2010 What you're hearing now is a different bill, we're coming up in a bit . . . I guess what they are voting on right now is does California state vehicle code trump local municipal codes. Probably good if it passes as in our case we could wind up with pipes that are legal in one town but not in a neighboring one . . . NickD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NickD I have stock mufflers..2 of them! I only shaped the ends, didn;t change the baffles! I beat a noise ticket by proving that! 1940's bikes weren;t very muffled! But it is going to take a hell of a lot for them to work thier way nack to the 40's! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NickDG 23 #922 June 28, 2010 Democracy in action, Bro . . . What's interesting is how many "associations" send spokesman, there's city ones, cop ones, etc. I hope to hell Abate is there for us. In lieu of that I hope someone reads my letter to Senator Parvey where I lay out all the relevant points against this bill (and leaves out where I call her a fucking cunt in the end.)
