Didn't you already say that? Kinda like de jay vue huh!!! I re-posted what I previously said for a reason and apparently your not with it. Alleyoop Alley First, I apologize for being a day late in replying The point "I" was trying to make was, why did you have to say it a second time in the first place??. I saw the first time you posted it, and all the replies afterwards, but nothing mentioned of trying to short out/hotwire the starter. You already asked him to try the screwwdriver method once, and appearently your suggestion was ignored. I hate repeating myself, that's all I was trying to say. Now, quit being so damn testy. And get this fingered out. Dave (all in good fun, I hope)

JR, did you use the F word? We've talked about this. Metal implants in mouth? We need to talk to Cyborg.
Dave, if I said thw wrong thing I'm sorry. I'm the doctor that always asks the female patients how far along are they in their pregnancy. Answer: I'm NOT pregnant! Ow, my sign says Dr. Footinmouth. No offense meant, Rich Not at all Was just giving kudos to my grandson and saying what u see is what u get I make more fun of my missing leg than anyone else could. I am NOT easily offended. But, Luke did piss me off a while back All better now

Hey Dave, is that your grandkid posing on your Trike? He's maybe 20? Hey Doc, bore me, please bore me, I love melodrama. Especially when it involves you. Actually, my grandson is 16 and in JROTC But, to everyone's chagrin, that be all 64 years of me, well, MOST of me anyway.

Others on my other motorcycle forum had this happen What's your forum Dave? Anything melting up there? 75 here today.....yep 75....think of me Dave....often. RichOh ya forgot about the Compound Fracture of my right big toe in 95. Metal implant? The orthopedics I work with won't do a compound on any bone with a stabilizing titanium implant and THEN pulling the skin back over and stitching. even small bones like the toe. They'd probably skip the small toes but not the great toe. So was it astoundingly painful or pass out painful? RichI used to treat a bunch of test riders at the Harley Davidson facility in Talladega. About 10 years ago, without prior notice, they laid most of them off just before Christmas....repeat....just before Christmas. Most of them had the option of picking up and moving to the new test facility in Arizona. These guys had kids....families. They couldn't just leave, most of them couldn't go and lost their dream jobs. Nice....real nice. Now they've closed the Arizona facility...it's too hot and dusty. REALLY!? I rode bikes before I moved to my trike. I rode a Honda Shadow Sabre and a GL1200 Goldwing. (the Magna 750 was wrecked when I had my accident) Another girl and I formed the Rocky Mountain Sabres in 2002 which became part of the www.thesabrehood.orgThe group is still very active and has plenty of summer rides in the surrounding mountain areas. Raining and cold here still. I gotta get the trike ready for riding. Balance the tyres, fluid changes, etc. Gonna be a nice summer riding, if it ever gets here. I 'lost' my job due to the BRAC closure of the Air Force Finance Center in Denver. Had 2 choices: 1. Move to Ohio 2. find your own damn job . I was too old to be retrained, so I moved. Getting ready to retire now, and move back to Denver. I know when it's time to go.

I'm fortunate to have had my job for the last 20 years. (and 25 years active duty military before that) Others on my other motorcycle forum had this happen, and acutally wound up better off. Hopefully you will too.
God Bless ya and prayers things work out Dave

buy them used...i remember KZ posted a Craigslist link about a 2011 suzuki Burgman 400n for sale for only $2,500...i actually emailed the owner and offered to buy it for $1600,, he replied and said he can only go down to $2,000...i mean, a 2011 burgman for only $2k?? can't beat that... if i didn't have 2 morphouses, i would've bought it in a heartbeat.,,there are few deals in CL that doesnt come everyday, you just have to scout around. Taiwanese makes good quality scoots,with decent price.,trike kit might go down in price., i'm a Craigslist creeper, so i know what the best deals around are. it's the determination dave, it's the determination! remember that!! I thought of used, but I don't like buying others peoples old stuff. Stuff they may not have respected. I'm a semi hoarder. I seldom sell anything. I keep my cars, I've kept my bikes, I've got stuff from my military days over 40 years ago..Yes, CL can be a nice place to find some good deals. Am looking for an engine for a 96 Mustang. Now, determination. That's something that NO ONE will EVER experience more than me. Meaning, try losing a fuggin leg at 63, and still get up the determination to ride, skull, do archery, swim, rock climb, sledge hockey, become a VA certified limb loss counselor, and much more. that takes determination my friend. (and Alley can testify to that too, with his own personal challenges.) But, who makes a ready to ride trike? And, to keep on track, let's try some other alternatives for a first bike. Thanx Dave

well, you can still do it dave,, if i only live near you i'd love to ride around with you...right now i ride alone 100% of the time,yuma is dry, no one even owns a scooter,just me,, and even the hookers are virgin in this place...lol Well then Luke, if you ain't got no hookers in Yuma, I ain't cumin'. But, yea, some day I wanna ride with ya, and compare Asian experiences. I ride by myself now also. I've done plenty of road/cross country trips with a group, and alone, and, other than the safety in numbers thing, I prefer to ride alone. Now, day rides with a group of friends, (in this case, the Rocky Mountain Sabres, aka RMS) thru the Rocky Mtns, that's different. That's fun. But, to stay on track, I'm not sure this would be a good starter bike. If you wanna stay small (250) me thinks a Honda Rebel or similar bike, would be more appropriate. Then, if the urge is still there, get something bigger/new(er) and go from there. Just my $.02 Dave

what? are you going back to shifting?? you just want to make your life so complicated, scooter is offering you twist and go, so you can relax your feet.that motorcycle is a thing of the past imo...we are in the modern age. twist 'n go is the way to go buddy!!... leave the shifting to KZ...lol Also Luke I may have missed it in my GOOGLE search, but who makes an already made affordable twist and go Trike? I realize that you still have your health, and all your appendages, but, some of us don't and need the stability a trike offers. I realize I can buy a Burgman, Silverwing, or a Majesty, and add a trike kit, but the end cost is gonna be +/- $10K. To me, that isn't cost effective. So, who makes a ready to ride, outa the box, affordable Trike? The Americans? The Japanese? The Italians The Taiwanese? No. OK, time for the test. Good Luck Dave

Twist and go is great, for riding around town. BUT, when the urge hits you to do a cross country, a larger bike (one ya gotta actually shift) is the only way to go. I'm guessing I've put more cross country miles under me than around town miles. I'll never forget the time I was riding my GL1200 thru Az, (by way of Colo, Calif, NM, Tx back to Colo) at 102F, full face helmet, feet on the hiway pegs (I had 2 of em then; feet that is, and,yea, hi way pegs too) and the American and POW flag flying in the breeze, open road, mountains all around, sun shining down on ya, just you and the road. That is a feeling you'll never experience on a twist n go around town. So, yea, is a perspective thing. Ride Safe Dave

Yes I see problems as well,, the seal between the ports and cylinder tops the rocker style crank ,,, lots of swept areas surely to generate lots of heat lots of reciprocating mass also "Reciprocating mass" I like that term Kinda like Lotsa stuff going round and round So says the dumb as a rock dude
