Here’s my story, I received a call from Public health nursing saying I had a positive Covid test. Problem with that is that I hadn’t been tested! I had donated blood a week before and their (blood bank) random testing turned up antibodies in my sample. Blood bank contacted public health nursing. So I had to quarantine because I had it sometime in the past. They can’t seem to allow facts to get in the way of their “protocol “!
My 2009 RSV has a bit of a rumble but it isn’t loud by any means. My brother has a set of Bub’s on his 2006 RSTD and we make him ride in the back. He makes too much noise!
I think I’m going to pull the trigger on a Lee-Sure Lite Excel camper we found. It weighs 265 pounds empty and set-up time is under a minute. I like the idea of not sleeping on the ground. We go wilderness camping in the BWCAW between Minnesota and Ontario so I know what roughing it is ... and I prefer not to be that rustic.
Feeling your pain, brother. I had plans too for a ride up along Lake Michigan thru the UP but those got preempted. I’m thinking this is the year for spontaneous riding... you know, hey the sun came up today, let’s go on a ride
Would you be having lutefisk with your lefse? I heard that these Minnesotan Yamaha scoots run better with a shot of lutefisk brine in the tank than even Seafoam. Plus it attracts Norwegian girls!!
One thing I found is when you go to mount the stock trunk make sure the floor of the trunk isn’t cracked where the latch is mounted on the underside. If it’s cracked the latch can deflect while riding and come sliding forward during a hard stop. Ask me how I know this!
Don't buy from a a big box store! go to your local furniture store with your dad and get one that fits. Also most stores will offer a 90 day trial so if it doesn't work you can return it and get one that does.
Your compression numbers aren't cause to worry at this stage. After you get it fired up and it has been run, you may want to run a leakdown test. :clap2:
I try to always wave on two lane roads but on the freeway, not much. Growing up in the country, waving at everybody was the norm, whether you knew them or not!
My RSV gets 45 on my commute and 40 riding two up on trips. So I think there may be room for improvement. For me driving faster than 60 mph starts drinking gas exponentially. But then you get to the ice cream store faster.
Back in the olden days I had a '00 dodge grand caravan that developed a restriction in the brake lines for the front calipers. the brakes worked fine but the hoses between the line and the caliper restricted the flow back to the master cylinder and so the brakes wouldn't release. And it was on both fronts. I put new hoses on and problem solved! It was worse when hot. I cant 'splain it!
Amen to that and might I add that common homeowner herbicides are a reason to glove up and use the proper PPE. Roundup herbicide affects me, probably from too many years of farm use and a "How can this stuff hurt me mentality?"
