Was this the last weekend to ride for the season?
Flyinfool replied to b2dad's topic in Watering Hole
I use the salt/no salt criteria also. If I were to ride in the salt then I would be forced into washing the bike or watching it dissolve away, that is normally sometime in Dec to sometime in April, but can be as bad as Sept till May, or like last year, just Feb . Temperature is irrelevant. -

Flyinfool replied to BigLenny's topic in Watering Hole
And the second step is to leave work right now and go take that woman for the ride she deserves. -

I sure hope I never get that old........ -
My first thoughts are that it will be pretty heavy. I have no idea how much weight can be carved out of the inside in the form of bulkheads and mounts. As far as using it as a trailer, I wonder just how much useable room there would be inside of it. I do not think that the trailer it is on is included since the add says hull and body only. are the seat, handle bars and hatches available to fill the holes and make it look right? I think it is a cool idea if you can make it work. I like the snowmobile idea too.

I am hoping that since we have heard no more in the last 6 hours that all is well.

Big difference. This time it was all in fun and being helpful. The thread you are referring to was a person that was not trying to help but was attacking this site and he got what he had coming. I did not read anything in this thread that looked to me as anyone being "jumped on". just my -

1987 Venture Royal known issues
Flyinfool replied to Hawg's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
Look here for some good writeups. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=86 You only need to ask once on this forum, we'll find the question... That is because we have so much time to sit and ponder things while waiting for the 2nd geners to catch up. -
There are some cows that are supposed to have horns. Some people are under the mistaken impression that only male cattle can have horns, but in cattle as well as some other species both males and females can have them.

The Tigers do NOT have a cheap payroll with over $200 MILLION on just one player. Maybe money can get you into the WS. Maybe the Yankees just did not spend enough.

Poor Running issue??
Flyinfool replied to af226's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Sure looks like you found it. As mentioned, when you check the diaphragms, hold them up to a bright light, even extremely tiny pin holes will make a difference. If the diaphragms look new the PO likely replaced them and did not do it right. The 2 edges that hold the diaphragm onto the slider are not supposed to come apart. I am not sure if they should be pressed or glued in place. -
I'm wired and lit up and registered to be that way
Flyinfool replied to Snaggletooth's topic in Watering Hole
Lookin good. Now you just need to add a high mounted center brake light. I like this one from Super Bright LEDs. I spotted this converter on ebay to make a center brake light work correctly on a 4 wire trailer. It looks like it uses a similar schematic to one that I posted a while back. This one is only rated for 2.5A, so it is for LED only. If I were building it I would use components with a higher amp rating, you are only talking pennies more. Fortunately for me I live in a state that does not register or plate trailers under 3,000 GVW. But the flip side is I always worry about trying to splain that to a LEO while traveling. -
Sounds like your having fun.
