Heck I haven't riden in over 7 years, and turned the big 8'oh in May, but still like to hang out. Where else can you get this much entertainment from the monthly dollar menu.... 🙂

Thanks I’ll take a closer look I had wiped the oil off with a rag and rode it yesterday and didn’t see anything this morning, so wherever it’s coming from isn’t much for right now .

i do not know how long you have been riding but I do know to quit must be hard .....I hope all things go well for you ...Keep in touch..... ..Motorcycles are in my blood now and I don't how I my mind would do if I said it is over ...I am still dealing with a medical license suspension going on to be 6 months now ...My XVZ1200 is setting in my shop waiting to head down the road ..I started riding an old Harley 45 in 1964 ...My Dad owned that Harley 45 and a mechanic he hired to get it to run could not figure it out ... I got it to run and it worked just fine , so my Dad gave it to me ...

Thanks again for the info. Ride on!

Thanks Squidley, I don't have the owners manual. I have a Clymers Shop Manual but I could not find the air pressures for either front or back. I put it just under 25 psi and it still hit a couple of times on today's ride. Between the wife and me we're over 400 lbs so I quess I better pump it up about 10 psi more, or go on diet.

Finally got lower wind deflectors the other day. spent Saturday installing those, a quick oil change and a few other TLC items. My youngest son was there to help too which made the day a lot of fun.

Sorry to see you go but keep in mind even without a membership you can still check and read the forums so you can see all the nasty things we might say about you after your gone.

UPDATE: well the camera unit mounted in the trunk contains a “built in” mic, but that doesn’t help much. All I’d get is some engine sound and rear speaker music. Fortunately it had an AV jack for an external microphone. I did some research and found a small waterproof mic, mounted it in a perfect place “no wind noise” cockpit. The cockpit acts like a reflector to pick up voice comms, some engine sound and of course music. Perfect blend! Here’s the final results. It’s the black center dot. I think it looks factory and you’d never notice it unless it was pointed out. Of course now that everything is recorded, I have to watch my “road rage” verbiage! 🤣

Stared at it woefully. Between a major cellulitis infection that resulted in some flesh removal from my leg and time spent 1st on two portable IV units. Then from that I went on to what they call negative pressure wound therapy which I call attaching a small portable shop vac to my leg then on to cataract surgery in one eye with the other eye due to be done the end of this month I got one ride in, in June. BTW I would post pictures of the excavation site but I would not want half the membership to recycle their dinner on to their keyboard. Yes they let me take pictures as they worked. It was interesting to watch.

In addition to that, when you change your oil, be sure to catch it all in a container, that way it's easier to save, to use next time around. You only need to have 2 lots of oil that way, rather than having to go buy new stuff every time.
