Hope ya' all had a MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!
I got my Favorite things next to HD stuff!!!!
Lots of bullets...Told most of my family members to buy me bullets.
Now I can "trap shoot" for about 20 years before going to the store for more shells. I figure if TRANSFATS are dangerous enough to me that some MAYOR can dictate to me that I am not allowed to have it, then I'd better load up now cause "lead" can't be to far behind!!!
Lead is not a bad thing..it is a choice we can make most of the time if we want lead or not!!! I don't wanna drink it and sure as heck don't need any going thru me. Just like having it shelled and ready.
Hope ya all have a Happy NEW YEAR too!! and hurry up summer for those of us not able to ride as much during the winter months!!!!

Hi to all, I found a web site at www.motorcyclestoresusa.com and it has lists of motorcycle stores by state. I thought maybe it may be a resource for anyone looking for parts etc. Hope it helps. fireitup

I have an 82 yamaha maxim. the brakes on it are just plain no good. That make and model was known for lousy brakes. I was advised to remedy the problem by having steel braided brake lines installed on the front brakes. Disk. Can anyone tell me if the steel braided brake lines will make any improvement for braking. Advice would be appreciated. Of course the cycle shop says they will but they are in it for the money. The brakes on it now have been serviced. Advice please. fireitup
