Re: Taking a Break from the Forum

WN, Thanks to you too! :D I've always enjoyed time spent on this forum. Great bunch of colleagues and riders from all over the planet. I'll bet in the not to distant future they will have astronauts riding rovers on Mars making preload adjustments on their shock absorbers. :lol: On a more serious no...

Taking a Break from the Forum

Please Note, I'm going to be taking a break from the forum. It's been great over the past few years participating here and I wish you all the best. I'm OK. No problems. I may be back but just not sure. That said the new PCX 160 (or ADV 160 when it arrives) will be a tempting item on my wish list. Sp...

Re: Girl scout cookies have arrive.

Geee . . . that's awkward. During this COVID pandemic I think businesses and providers of goods and services everywhere are struggling. Some more . . . some less. Wasn't S'mores a cookie? I've actually seen improvements in some products lately and conversely I've seen some merchants decline in abili...

Re: If the puke tube is in the snow.....

Good advice . . .. I've been off my scoot for about a week or so now. Waves of precipitation events just keep coming over the horizon. Years ago I would have still ventured out on my motorcycle but the way the traffic is today it's too intense and risky. There seems to be a lack of sensitivity to dr...

Maddiedog,

Great job on the forum page revision!

It's a totally new experience . . .. :geek:

Yet, it's easy to see the similarities to the old format so navigating throughout is intuitive. :D

Re: What are all these old folks doing ? Feb, 2021

:D I'm glad to see folks around the country are starting to get more access to the vaccinations. My age group just became eligible but the places to get vaccinated are still either struggling to set up or get doses. That said they are doing the best they can and I'll get mine when it's feasible loca...

Seriously though I hope they are able to get the vaccinations before the toilet paper runs out. :roll:

Re: How to reduce your coronavirus infection risk

A short but informative video on how to fix a broken mask string.

I found it seemed to happen to me more during the hot months of Summer. My theory is that perspiration softens up the attachment area. Just guessing.

Post a reminder with a picture somewhere in plain view, like on your refrigerator, about your "reset" button on your heating system and how to find it/use it. Keep a flashlight ready in a drawer or hanging on a wall near the refrigerator so you can read the reminder. If you need reading gl...

Re: How to reduce your coronavirus infection risk

On Fox News this morning it was reported that a lot of "counterfeit" 3M masks have flooded inventories, particularly in Washington State, and officials are trying to sort it out. The quality of the "fakes" is not up to 3M specs and thus a risk to use . . .. https://www.foxnews.co...

Re: Ditch the Expense of Car/Truck/SUV Ownership and . . ..

Why is it that having money means forgetting courtesy? For some it breeds a feeling of "entitlement". There are those who just feel that they are a "cut above" the "masses" and are privileged to do as they feel (within limits they feel are reasonable). I know what you ...

Re: Ditch the Expense of Car/Truck/SUV Ownership and . . ..

Driving home from a rodeo 47 years ago in a 1953 flathead ford V8 pickup with this song playing on my Lear Jet Cassette and a young lady who I had just met fell asleep on my shoulder, I kind of needed a truck back then
Great story!

Only occasionally do I see an actual, original Mini driving around here in the Atlanta area, and I am always impressed that it is still running. Certain cars are destined to become an "icon" and some aren't. They don't have to be the fastest, biggest, most expensive, or most equipped. But...

Bit of a coincidence but my 1969 988 Morris Mini Cooper should be back on the road this summer after a 35 year break. Any interest in pictures? That would be great! Half a century old eh? Wow . . .. :D The closest I ever got to driving anything like a "Mini" was an "Austin America&qu...
