COOOOOOOOOOOOOl:cool10: Looks like a grill that Tim Tooltime Taylor would have!

Relax Boys I'm not the police I'm Jerry Motorman Palladino the Nazi Park Ranger and I'm here to arrest the bears for Pic-A-Nik basket thievery and return them to Vogel to stand trial. Be thankful I'm not the police or I would have to arrest the dozen drunken country music groupy chics for being drunk , disorderly and naked in a moving beer filled jacuzzi on state highways. Not to mention giving out a rash of tickets for all kinds of moving violations, Hunting violations, Fashion sense violations and abominations against humanity as a whole I have witnessed in this group. But since I am outside of my jurisdiction I quess I'll just have to compliment ya'll on your riding skills and let ya'll go. He then handcuffed the bears, while Yammer Dan descreetly took the gloves out of the German Shepard's mouth and put them on.

Alternative Fairing styles
Dragonslayer replied to Sandbagger's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Randy, I've loved the look of your mod ever since I saw it in Asheville. I'm thinking of doing the same style mod to mine. But, I was wondering how much more heat from the engine this put on your legs and if the loss of the front chin and lower fairings affected the handleing and aerodynamics of the bike in any way. -
It was getting hot but not at the same rate as the other three. Remember that I had developed and exhaust leak while returning from the dragon. Is it possible that a change in exhaust pressure might effect the intake pressure?
-
Good thought, I'll check that.
-
No I have never checked the valve clearence,. That repair is one that I have always dreaded having to do because it seems so complicated. I was hopeing against all hopes that it might turn out to be something else.

During Vogel I used Stevew's carb tune to do a carb sync. When I hooked up the carb tune I found that my #2 cylinder was showing no pressure whatsoever. I was able to sync the remaning three cylinders. Now I'm faced with figuring out why I have no intake pressure on the #2 cylinder. Does anyone have any ideas what to look for?

Good information, thanks for posting it. Was the failure caused by a foreign object penetrating the tire or tire failure. I'm interested in know since I too recently mounted an Elite III on the rear.

, Yammer Dan riding his 1st Gen MK2 looking for his Ice cream eating, glove wearing bear:detective: and carring Aussie Annie's spare crutch. It was good that he hobbled up in the nick of time because he had the answer to the question we had been comtemplating :dancefool:which was, does Aussie Annie spin around her crutch dance pole in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction North of the equator????? YammerDan knew that she needed to spin in a clockwise rotation. He also knew that being in the Dreaded Black Bear Country of Vogel, White County, Ga. (which was run by the Primitive Southern Baptist and the very strict Park Ranger), she would have to use her new leather crutch holders as pasties (giving her a somewhat Madonna like appearence) :whistling:unless she did her dance in Helen, Ga where pasties would (of course) be optional (according to Helen, Ga city code which had been written by the Alpine Presbyterians). Having wasted enough time, (while the Tornado and following Thunder Storm passed.) discussing the differences and fine points of law :backinmyday:between the Primitive Southern Baptist written county ordinance and the Alpine Presbyterians written Helen City code. We decided to scrap the whole pole dance/Bear Hunt idea and saddle up to make up time and get moving toward Nashville, since we were beginning to fall behind schedule. So after checking the GPS for directions we took off with Yama Mama riding point followed by, The Atlanta Dragonslayer wearing Muffinman's pink chaps, Thom,Wanderer,Beer 30 with a dozen drunken country music groupy chics riding in the beer wagon which had by now been turned into a beer filled jacuzzi, Slick97spirit, Johnny Cash singing Big Tom, Monty, Bongobobny, Kenw, Autopilot, "Wild Hair" Lowell with the gloved Yogi (doing a reach around, having finished his ice cream cone) with BOOBOO riding on his shoulders riding B*T*H. Ruffy on his well lit RSV(who decided to skip his appointment), Beowolf on his Can Am Spyder, Massey130 sporting Aussie Annie on the back (Crutches safely stowed away in the Black leather pastie/crutch holders), the gloveless Yammer Dan on his 1st gen MK2 (carrying Aussie Annie's spare crutch) and RandyR bringing up the rear as tail gunner, since he had the only weapon (other than Dragonslayers metal sauce pan and metal spoon noise maker), his trusty crossbow slung over his shoulder. We headed North on hwy 129 toward Deals Gap where we planned to head west toward Nashville via the Tail of the Dragon. According to the GPS directions, when..............

Do a pole dance using one of her crutches...............

Bear poachers......At that moment RandyR came riding out of the woods on his new dual sport Yamaha. He had an expression on his face that demonstrated a sense of urgency matched only by that of wintertime Kroger shoppers in Atlanta after a weather report announcement of a slight chance of snow flurries. I waved to him as he passed by with a stewardess wave as I repeated BYE-BYE, BYE-BYE, BYE-BYE. And Then.............................................

So, what kind of bug was it was it? Was it one of those Earwig bug things that crawls into your ear and bores through your eardrum and into your brain making you go mad or crazy or something. Then you go on a murdurous rampage until you brain final explodes and liquidfies and runs out your nostrils onto your shirt. It couldn't have been just a fly or it would have just flown out of your ear when the doctor started messing with it. Don't worry you'll probably be alright. I just saw that on a horror movie one time.

I quickly grabbed my MP3 player so I cold hold it up and Illuminate the scene much better with the light from the devices display when I noticed................. A bump.........

Road sign indicating that we were entering the dreaded Black Bear country of Vogel State park. Low and behold Lowell and I did both behold two bears crossing the road, (one large wearing gloves eating an ice cream cone and a smaller bear following saying) "OK Yogi... But what about the Ranger?"....................................

Major electrical malfunction...at home
Dragonslayer replied to Venturous Randy's topic in Watering Hole
Sounds like Bubba's been tinkering with your electrical system and let the smoke out of them wires. -
him to swerve into a pot hole at which time all of the nuts and bolts on the harley fell off causing the bike to explode into a million parts and pieces right in the middle of the road. I just rode on past in muffinman's pink chaps as I casually flipped a cig in my mouth and pushed in the cigarette lighter in wondering what would happen next.....

Who was passing out beers to the band and the dozen country music groupy chics.

Willie Nelson hanging out the window of the RV waving me over to stop on the side of the road. Before I could get stopped and get my kickstand down Willie was running up to me in the driving rain yelling at the top of his lungs," Hey Dragonslayer I thought that was you. Are you heading to Nashville via the dreaded Black bear country of Vogel? and WHY are you wearing those Pink chaps?" I calmly answered, " I reckon, and because they were there" He replied, " Then why don't you load the bike on the trailer and ride in the RV with me and the band. We have a designated driver, a dozen country music groupy chicks. You can have a dry ride to Nashville, we can party and Jam all the way, No Bears to deal with and when we get to NashVille you can play your C harp with the the band for our scheduled recording gig. But, you'll have to lose the Pink Chaps." "No Thanks" I said, " I'm not trailering my bike nowheres and I'm not taking these Chaps off for no one, not even country music groupy chics." "But, I will catch up with you in Nashville if I get a chance. "OK" he said, as he braced himself against the tornado wind and started fighting his way back to the RV. As he stepped into the doorway of the RV he yelled back, "See you in Nashville"

The sound of a distant freight train that always preceeded an impending Tornado

Their trusty C Harp and green bullet mic just in case they might get discovered in Nashville. Also knowing that their route would take them through the dreaded Black bear country of Vogel they also packed an extra pair of riding gloves, an extra jar of Dukes Mayonaise and a metal sauce pan and metal spoon. Going over the mental list of things to carry, I remembered to have my MP3 player within easy reach of my vest pocket, just in case I might need a quick light source or tune.

Muffinman's Pink Chaps that he had loaned me in Asheville. Knowing that he would not be needing them in Afganhistan, I was sure he would not mind me using them for this trip.

86er posted a last minute weather report for the event which called for a bright beautiful clear day in the low seventies. As I walked out the door to saddle up for the event I felt the chill of the wet cold blustery wind on my neck as I heard the distinct sound of thunder rolling to my North. I looked toward the northern skies to see a mass of churning black clouds spiked with vivid flashes of lightning. At this pointI knew that suiting up in my frogtogs and full face helmet would probably not be a bad idea.
