Re: Rides Of March
Nice group of sleds hope you had fun. This is our group heading over to the Wanimigo vintage ride last weekend The Black bandit x8 had to tow the Massey home, he insisted on doing it. It was good humor!

Re: Rides Of March
Keeping them running can be very time consuming, and I have the calloused fingers to prove it. The boys are learning the finer points of the Liquifire but understand any hot dog moves will result in suspension of privileges. You can't tell from the pictures, but the snow is 3 - 4 feet deep under those sleds.Horicon Joe wrote:Nice pictures guys! Pat ... impressive having 4 running JDs pose for a picture!

Re: Rides Of March
I am having issue's with my photo bucket. The picture's down loaded to photo bucket from my phone will not let you zoom and they are tiny .The only ones that work are the pics sent from my home computer to photo bucket and yes I have some pics of the jdx towing the Massey. I will try to get it corrected and if anyone has any advise on how to fix this let me know. Paul

Re: Rides Of March
I don't use photobucket. I just download from the camera to the confuser, then upload from files to the site. I only had an issue once when the picture uploaded from a tablet arrived at the site upside down.

Re: Rides Of March
Today was the first long ride for me. We (myself and a couple of neighbours) braved the wilds of Cavan township for a 55Km (30-ish mile) round trip to Bethany, Ontario for lunch.
Other than a broken muffler, some very underwhelming primary clutch issues, and a broken coil- the ground wire broke off, followed by the two red leads as my ham-fisted approach to trail side repair was in full swing, the ride was pretty uneventful. As luck would have it, the coil finally let go across the road from some houses, on the other end of our side road. Some neighbours soon appeared (frosty beverages in hand), and after a quick meet and greet, a couple of comments about the geriatric ride, and some reminiscing about Spitfires gone bad, one of the fellows was kind enough to help me solder the wires back on to the bottom of the coil. 10 minutes later we were back on the trail. I couldn't believe my luck. Saw some new ground, had a great day, and fresh butter tarts for lunch. How could it be any better? Now off to the barn to start fixing the poor girl for next time.
