    I stay away from celebraties ........ive done custom tvs in their vehicles years ago and they would fill like they didnt have to pay, you should be happy to use their name instead.......and they sort me out i didnt come to them , after that....if your so called famous, stay away......ill just deal with my repeat customers who i see every bike season, for services & mods......thats why i never advertised and because i had a full time job........but now that im retired, i pick & choose who i will do work for, dont need the headache


    It's true in some corners of the business world as well.


    I use to be with a cutting edge High-Performance Computing company that sold networks for huge computer clusters. Some companies, but particularly universities always were willing to trade on their name in return for a bigger discount or if they could even get gear for free.

    I have the +5 with the Bulletspeed top. It still puts some air in. It seems like the +7 would put the air right over the top

    I got the +9 and it does put the air over the bulletspeed top. It is much nicer than the Klockwerx I had installed earlier. Also, the wife was concerned about stones and bugs hitting us, which is no longer an issue.

    kev Thank you for the input.


    I'll be keeping my eye out for them at Maggie, and perhaps even at Uncorked in April, we'll see. I think the best advice so far is to sit in a few first, see how they feel, look at quality etc. My ride is garage kept so whatever I select should last the life of the SS.

    I heard 4-6 weeks after 2nd shot if it's phizer. Don't know about Moderna.

    Think of it as layers of defense. A week or so after the first shot you'll have established your first layer as it reaches its peak effectiveness. Then a week after the second shot your second defense layer reaches its peak. This is true of the first two vaccines available in the US. Once the new Johnson and Johnson one is released, which is a single shot, it too achieves peak effectiveness in a week.


    Now it should be noted you can still get Covid at any point, regardless of which of these you receive, but they have all proven to greatly reduce the impact of the disease if you do in fact contract Covid. Also, your likelihood of ever getting sick enough to require hospitalization is dramatically reduced.


    I'm not a doctor, just a well informed technologist, so take from this what you will.

    Best of luck to those old enough to qualify for a shot. Remember that the real benefits of getting vaccinated don't start to kick in until a week afterward as your body needs time to build up its immune system.

    There are several old tired threads that touch on seating, some many years old.


    Many of us are new to the SS world, and some want to ditch our generic hard seats for something a bit more comfortable. It's winter so plopping our kiesters into aftermarket seats at a drive-up event is not an option. Also, we all wish to hit the road in the spring, driving in both comfort and style, so we don't want our winter build time to go to waste.


    If you had it to do again, which seat mfg and model would you recommend?

    I cant even begin to say how bad this will turn out if they allow it.

    Another jurisdiction that is too stupid to just buy their own Stingray. Or wants to be totally above board, legal, and slow to get anything done.

    While not ethical, federal agencies and some local governments have been using these fake cell towers for years to suck up evidence without a warrant. I'm not sure of the legal issues around it, just the technology, as hackers have known about them for years.

    My father was asphyxiated when he ruptured a blood vessel while coughing in his sleep and he drowned in his own blood. Cause of death, chronic heart failure. Did I mention he had stage 4 lung cancer, had just finished his third round of chemo, and his prognosis wasn't good. Also the blood thinner he was on, Pradaxa, had the known side effect of serious bleeding risks. This was pre-covid. He didn't die of cancer, he died because his heart ran out of blood. Oh, did I mention that he smoked three packs a day of cigarettes for fifty years, hum I wonder if that had something to do with it?


    My point is this, while someone may have terminal lung cancer and death is imminent, if you come along and shoot them in the head and they die instantly, then the cause of death was the bullet, not cancer. In this case, replace the bullet with the Covid virus.


    Doctors and hospitals have too much at stake to risk losing their licenses or insurance company funding by falsifying records.
