The only time mine made popping sounds is when there was a exhaust leak. Now, question, was it popping before the carb sink? If not I would question the competence of the job and maybe a redo.

It's been on top of the air box since I brought her back to life the first time. I'll open it up and take a look though.
I'd have thought dielectric grease would be a bad idea in this case. It really doesn't do anything to help connectivity.
It does seal out moisture if nothing else.

Glad you sold it fast enough for you.
As far as Facebook is concerned never had it never will. Zucker can stuff it with his over reaching intrusive website. It has caused more harm than good in my family and others. -
The only non tipping bike is a 3 wheeler in any configuration. Myself I'm still waiting for this venture.

The ground in the hole is getting wetter instead of dryer. This means that there is another leak farther down stream. The ground that is getting wetter is right where I stopped digging. This means that I am going back in again and breaking more floor. While cleaning it out last time I could feel something hard about 8 feet down the pipe, that is right where the laundry is connected. There is no sign of slow flowing from the laundry connection so I am hoping that all is good after that point I was hoping that it was just a poor connection where they may have drilled a hole and shoved in a pipe and sealed around it. That laundry connection is already PVC going into the floor so it was done at a much later time than the rest of the plumbing. All of the other plumbing in the house was all poorly done so I have no reason to expect this to be done right either. This will get me almost to the 90° elbow that is under the floor. If I get to that elbow then it will be appropriate to look at getting the whole thing done all the way to the street.
I am running out of clothes pins for my nose................
A stinkie job if there ever was one. Try some Vicks-Vapo rub under your nose. It helps with the smell.

Happy belated birthday.
Your granddaughters are good help in blowing out all those candles. Good looking brood except for that older guy in the middle. -
We rode the Skyline drive which turns into the Blue Ridge Parkway about 6 or7 years ago. If you can, try to time it when the Mountain Laurels are in full bloom. They were a little past there full beauty when we rode it but it was still beautiful. There were places that were nothing but flowers on both side and hanging over the road for quite a while along the road. If its cool riding maybe this beautiful spectacle will enthrall your significant other enough to keep her riding.

Congratulations Carl. She has more hair than you.

Don't worry I know were he lives. -
The Mama Tried motorycycle show happens in Milwaukee at this time of year. http://mamatriedshow.com/ I went with a couple of friends but had to wait in a line 3 blocks long outside in the freezing cold with high winds. And after entering the building, you were forced to submit to guys with wand type metal detectors. My friend had his pocket knife confiscated by these pricks. I saw what was happening and slipped my little pocket knife into my shoe and it wasn't detected. This morning I checked their website and they do not mention any rules regarding knives, guns, or whatever. And there weren't any warning signs by the doors. I will never go to this again. Afterwards I was asking myself why I didn't just tell them to get screwed and walk out the door. I guess that after driving for an hour, paying to park, and waiting in the cold in a long line, made me more compliant than I should have been. What a bunch of sheep we have become!
I really hate the "weapon free" mentality that seems to be accepted these days in public buildings. Of course, my little knife is hardly a weapon - maybe I could poke somebody with the scissors? If someone wants to shoot up a place, it seems logical to me that they would pick a location where everyone has been disarmed and cannot resist - just like that kid in the news that recently shot up a public school. The anti-gun folks are so naive that it just makes me want to scream.
The show was ok but very crowded - $10 to park, $18 to get in, $8 beers. Not worth it. Talked to one guy with a long chopper and he had to have guys haul his bike up the steps to the third floor where the show was taking place. The elevator wasn't big enough. All vendors selling crap on the first two floors - didn't look much but noticed one guy selling skate boards, wtf. My friends said that I should enter my chopper Venture in the show next year - I'd rather jam my swiss army knife scissors in my eye!
Any ideas on how to dump crap on their dumb show?

I would have to say you've already done it.
Your glowing assessment would be enough to keep me away. :buttkick:Nothing like paying money to be frisked by thieves as far as the confiscating knives goes. The country has gone crazy with rules and laws. 3.2.1. -
Is he allowed to receive any mail Dan? Maybe a few postcards from this group of misfits might cheer him up.

Congrats again on the granddaughter. The meaning of grandfather is "Second Chance". I have 5 grandchildren out of them only one granddaughter. I tell her she is my best granddaughter. This joke is well worth it every time just to see her smile.
OOPS! Open mouth insert foot. Congrats on GRANDSON! -
I've never seen that color in person. Seen plenty of blonds and lots of blacks but never the red. Looks good your defiantly turning it into a labor of love. I still miss my 83 but moma needed more room for more rocks.

Out of the ashes rises a Venture {with cheese}. You done good.

Modifying for the Turbo or the Nitrous? Or just couldn't leave well enough alone?

The backrest is built in and I have learned is adjustable but no way to push against it. I believe you will have to cut plastic to fit the mounting bracket.

Say what!!!! To cut the plastic on a brand new bike to make it more functional or relaxing? Being able to occasionally move one legs to another resting point is a must have on a touring bike especially if you ride the super slabs any. I hope you can tailor your bike to your ergonomics without to much re-engineering.

Ya know, no jobs done till the paper works done...

this is from the snell foundation....
Why should you replace your helmet every five years?
The five-year replacement recommendation is based on a consensus by both helmet manufacturers and the Snell Foundation. Glues, resins and other materials used in helmet production can affect liner materials. Hair oils, body fluids and cosmetics, as well as normal "wear and tear" all contribute to helmet degradation. Petroleum based products present in cleaners, paints, fuels and other commonly encountered materials may also degrade materials used in many helmets possibly degrading performance. Additionally, experience indicates there will be a noticeable improvement in the protective characteristic of helmets over a five-year period due to advances in materials, designs, production methods and the standards. Thus, the recommendation for five-year helmet replacement is a judgment call stemming from a prudent safety philosophy.
Now you've done it. Another thing to do.
Your ruining my depression time by making me spend more money. I gotta quit coming here so much its really trying to entice me to do something constructive. That is depressing. So now I'm looking at helmets, there are so many choices........... I give up for now, gotta go for coffee and BS. -
Pick it up Dan . Clean out a spot in the middle of the catch-all spot, roll it in there, carefully cover it with whatever for a few days. Invite her out and start the conversation all over again with her on how you would like a trike or something along those lines to ride.
While shes there let her look your piles over for awhile until she says "You don't need a trike I think I see something in your junk piles that would work". You non-nonchalantly walk over and say "I think your right honey". Now she's happy that she found it for you and it didn't cost her a thing and your the winner! WIN, WIN!!! -
I bet over the top. That way it becomes saturated with oil faster as it goes through the roll.
