Weather look good. A little cool but nice and sunny. Even if you forgot to RSVP they always have room for a few more. See ya a little later.......

My Firefox got here with no issues. I have no other browsers to try. The site does seem faster.

The venture is headed back to be more like the good ones, the 1st gens!!! Frame mounted fairing, fairing mounted rear views. But I do have to agree it looks like a V-twin. If it is the 1900 Strat engine as some have suggested, the 2nd gens will still be the slowest Ventures. With the flat black paint it is hard to tell what it really looks like. I think I like the upper faring but I don't think I like those monster bulbous front lowers. The storage looks decent enough. I like BIG. It does look like 1st gen passenger floorboards.

I have wanted to make it to your root beer run for a few years now. it just never seems to work out......

So once again is is those Canadians leaving the door open........:snow: :cold: :cold:

I'll have to see if I still have my old plates for some bikes and cars that I no longer own. You could come up to the M&E tomorrow to pick them up..... (OK shameless plug)

That must make me an Olympic pizza eater, my resting heart rate is in the low 40s......

I would not want to sit and watch 27 hurs of hard work. but it might be fun to go check out. 10,000 yards will make for one big rock once it all sets up. I wonder how many yards of re bar (or Jimmy Hoffa's) will be buried in there.

But I have no problem watching others do hard work.......I don't even get tired any more.

That will be late August........

This might just be interesting to go watch. They will be doing one continuous pour of concrete for a building foundation. 50 trucks bringing 1000 loads of concrete to pour 10,000 cubic yards of concrete in 27 hours. Northwestern Mutual to pour foundation for 32-story office tower Who says that insurance companies don't have extra money.......

Wisconsin and Arizona met in the Elite Eight last year. It was a dog fight but Wisconsin prevailed. Hope we are headed for a repeat performance.

We got more snow last night...... I'll be sure to forward it on to the east since I am done with it for now.....

Unfortunately I have to agree with Eck...... There is no place in this country to build a home of any type that is safe from mother nature. There is no state that has never had a tornado, the USA has more tornadoes than the rest of the world combined. The USA averages 1,000 per year, Canada is a distant second averaging "only" 100 per year. Some of that may simply be the better reporting than any other country? I guess we need to move everyone off of the west coast because they have earth quakes and volcanoes, we need to move everyone out of the middle of the country because of the tornadoes, and we need to get everyone out of the south and east coast to protect them from hurricanes. Look out Mexico and Canada, here we come. Even a poured concrete home rated for 300MPH wind is not safe, tornadoes have been clocked at over 300 MPH. Will that concrete home still stop a 2,000 lb car that the wind picked up that is coming in at 300 mph? How about a 5 ton oak tree? I do agree that a mobile home is less safe than a well built home. A near miss will leave the well built home standing with some damage but that same near miss could still totally wipe out a mobile home. Yes there are some areas that are very prone to natural disasters and should not have any buildings located there. Like places along a river that flood every couple of years. I did speak to one person that lives in a flood prone area. They look at it as they get all new stuff every couple of years almost for free cuz I'm paying for it. The inconviniance is worth it to always have new stuff.

Puc I sure hope they figure out your heart stuff, I can really relate to the feelings of finding out that something is not working correctly but they don't know why. I know that due to the heart stuff I am still looking a real possibility of taking the big red truck to Dons MD, if so, I'll have plenty of room, let me know if I need to pick you and/or Tippy up on the way there.

Is that a spanking I hear happening.......

I remember a while back there was a set of floorboards and heel toe shifter making the rounds, everyone that tried them on a 1st gen went back to pegs and toe, and sent them on the the next person that thought they would like it. All of the replies to this thread are from 2nd gen owners, I have never heard of a 2nd gener that did not prefer the heel toe on that bike. Although I have never tried a set yet, it just does not look like it would work for me on my 1st gen. Just saying, look close at what bike your opinions are coming from. 1st and 2nd gens are totally different seating positions and bike layout, only the name is similar.

On a 2nd gen you can switch to reserve while moving, on a 1st gen you have to get off the bike to make the switch, not a good idea on the side of the highway. That is why most 1st gens just run in reserve all the time and use the gas gage and blinking light. Its no different than driving your cage, there is no reserve, you just need to pay attention to the gage and mileage since the last stop.

Thats why I fit in here so well..... Oh and it snowed yesterday, and may snow some more tonight.

Here is the regs; Transportation Here is the pertinant part; Figure 9;

It might even be that at idle the turn signals are dropping the system voltage enough to dim the lights. This effect will be amplified if you have a very slow idle and / or more than the stock signal lights and/or anything else that is pulling a lot of power to help bring the system voltage down. Hold a higher RPM similar to cruise RPM and see if the issue goes away.

Actually the law does require the eye so that it will shut of the modulation at night. There are too many dummies that would try to run it at night if they had the option. The eye will also stop the flash if you pull into a dark tunnel or building or under a bridge, so that you are not suddenly looking for a switch and driving with a strobe light.

Ok, I am a professional, just not in residential furnaces. A furnace is simply the opposite of a snow machine so that gives me some unique experience and insight. As for the heat exchanger. Do you have a carbon monoxide detector in the house? If not you should. I have 3. There should be a limit switch in there for plenum temp, once it got to the set temp the burner shuts off. This should have kept the heat exchanger from getting to hot. In normal operation this switch should never trip, it is there for your exact situation, lack of airflow over the heat exchanger causing overheat. I would look at the PC board close for any more poor solder joints, maybe give all of the connector joints a touch with the iron just like we often have to do on our bikes. Also if visible, take a look at the relay contacts.

Gentlemen???? You have obviously not met all of us yet......
