Help with xmas gift

DandE — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 04:24:52 GMT

Hey all, I needs some help. I want to buy Eric a new rear fender for his 01 dyna wide glide. Heres the thing... he wants a street sweeper (not even sure if that is the right word for it). I want it to be a surprise so I can't every well ask him how to get one lol. So any of you know what I need to look for? Like do I just have to get something that will fit an 01? It does not need to be painted or anything like that because he is repainting his bike here soon. So any help please boys and girls. Also do you know any place to get one on the cheap side? Thanks y'all and oh yeah HI its been a while since I was here.

Sad News

SNJ — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 04:06:56 GMT

We had a faithful ROT attendee killed in a head on collision in Corpus Christi. A doped up driver was going the wrong way in a truck and hit our friends car head on.
He was a very nice guy and a friend to many, he will be missed. Keep his family in your prayers.

69th Daytona

RocketIII — Thur, 29 Oct 2009 04:21:38 GMT

Our group in NW Florida are planning on a trip to the 69th Daytona rally. Beside Scooter (we'll get the details to join up later), anyone else contemplating a March warm up for ROT?

Still in the planning...looking for where we'll stay. Was looking to stay near Destination Daytona, but it seems both Arlen Ness and the Triumph/Ducati dealerships have all departed that locale. Will probably find somewhere near main and Hwy 1A downtown.

If any other ROT riders will be there, give a shout and we'll try to meet up.

Lone Star Rally

Spirit — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 15:29:07 GMT

Is anyone going to Lone Star this weekend? We're taking kiddo over for Friday night, then meeting friends to ride over with on Saturday. Wondered if we'd be seeing anyone besides Bunny & Rancher over there.

Sturgis and the ROT

RocketIII — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 08:46:02 GMT

Just wondering who else on the forum ventured up to Sturgis this year. Since it was the 69th Sturgis, we took two RVs, tents, seven bikes and 12 riders/passengers. Half stayed at the Buffalo Chip; the other up in Deadwood. We got two RV spots side-by-side on Stage Hill overlooking the main stage area--you could see (and hear) the bands from the ground level and even better up on the roofs. We took our cart expecting (from all we'd heard) to see a parade route that was even 'wilder' than the ROT. Sad to say that while the RV area was HUGE, there was no parade route, just parade route watchers (signs, small stages, etc); nothing even remotely close to the ROT--quite a disappointment. The bands the first few night weren't that bad: George Thorogood, Toby Keith (Best of the Group) and Billy Squier (who was really pretty good). Of course, Aerosmith was the big draw--and if you've seen U-Tube, you know Steve Tyler did the "Buffalo Slip" off the stage after the sound system blew up the ninth song, ending the concert (and their tour). After that, the bands got 'younger', louder, with profanity to make a sailor blush. Sturgis supposedly tried to 'market' to a younger crowd with 'younger' bands, but between the bad weather (can you say lemon-sized hail on the last day?) and poor band selection, they lost most of the attendees earlier than normal.

So...won't go back there again until maybe the 75th. The rides through the mountains were fun and memorable...but filled that square and don't need to do it again anytime soon.

Anyone else venture up north??? Just curious.

Looking for Parts

texdeb — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 04:01:08 GMT

My boss is looking for this part. I just pasted the e-mail he sent me in here. This is what he said. I want to get this part for him for his b day next month. Top is helping me try to find it to. Till then all he can do is look at it unless we spay the stuff in the carb so he can hear it run, lol. It has been in his family for 3 generation's. The motor on the bike has been bored out (we think) if that helps but every thing else has been kept original.

Now I found the part on Bike Bandit.Com but they don't carry it no more in inventory or able to pick some up.

Here is the OEM # 405 Rub Sleeve For the Steel Gas line hook up from the Petcock to the Carb.
Bike Bandit Part # 1667060-001

Now I will need 2 for sure but would like 4 total for replacements.

This fits on the following:

1959 Harley Davidson FLH Duo Glide 1349cc
Note: This bike used to have a Side Car Originally.Thus, the size engine & make up of the bike.

Thanks, Steve

1st Annual Carts, Bikers and Babes Rally

Spirit — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 05:16:34 GMT

Well, it was just a matter of time....a lot of bikers have been saying the bike rallies are turning into cart rallies so Damon Dave decided if you can't beat 'em, join 'em. He's having the first ever cart rally for bikers at Lake Somerville next April. It will be held the 9th - 11th.

There will be a Cart Show, Cart games, Cart rodeo, Cart tug-o-war. Oh, and btw, bikes will be allowed - and welcomed - at the Cart rally! lol

departing San Angelo on the 15th, staying in Ft. Davis and then proceeding into
Lajitas on the 16th. Anybody want to hook up for the ride there, shoot me an
e-mail.
