  1. Glad you are going to be in NY,,,, otherwise how could I continue with the training program.
  2. Let us know how it all turned out.
  3. Glad I don't have a GW, only 1.5 hours on Spyder to do an oil change and I already have screens built in. Nice thing about these animals is that the recommend oil change comes only once in 15,000km... can live with that!
  4. Congrats buddy,,, best get some rest while it's still available,, you gonna be busy, I can tell. Daaaaad,,,, can you?????,,,,,,,, Daaadd what are you doing tomorrow?????? Hey Dad, what are you two doing on the weekend??? and then,,,, OOOPaa, can you come over and play with me??? Oppaaa, can we come over??? Yep, best get some rest!!
  5. I did a search for that question last week. I didn't want to be all by myself, and somewhat discovered that most who posted are staying at the Quality Inn in Elyria. Some are staying elsewhere, and a whole bunch are camping in the snoring section.
  6. The rooster will be staying at the Quality Inn in Elyria. If he crows too early and I wake up from all his noise I will retaliate and come to make sure the noise gets to it's intended destination. So be prepared to have an early breakfast,,,,,,, and,,,,,, if you think that catching me after ALL of you are awake,,,,, well Tri-pod has been known to be kind of fast, so you'd best have your sneakers ready.
  7. Most years at MD there is a lot going on, clutches are being rebuilt, carbs are synced, wiring is figured out, polishing is being discussed, lights are added and replaced, pin striping is being oggled, tires are changed and balanced, brakes are renewed, and occasionally carbs are cleaned and the mosquitoes are being harassed. I do not remember a time when horns were being tested, so I think that might be a good thing to add into the mix this year. Funny thing about those noise makers though, to get the best results it's best that there be no other interference, like people talking, guys revving their bikes, talking, and shooting of BS,,,, you get the picture. It's also a well know fact the noise is better heard in the dark and carries further when there is little wind, so maybe we best set a time for such maintenance. I'm thinking that the best and right time for this exercise would be about 4:30 in the morning. Maybe I could show up to get things started. No need to thanks me for this idea, it was Cowpuc who got my brain started. What time is breakfast????
  8. Not so bad,,, really quite good,,,,, but now I wonder what the Squid has on you seeing as you let him off so easy,,, or maybe it's Lonna's cheese cake that has you is such a state.?.?.?
  9. Could be air trapped in the MC as well. With your bike on the side stand, turn the front wheel all the way to the left so that the MC reservoir is at the top. Make sure you have rags under the handle bar, remove the cover and then slowly squeeze the handle just a little so that the plunger moves. You might find a few wee little bubbles come up in the reservoir. You can also lightly tap the the banjo bolt to help things along as you wiggle the plunger.
  10. I was going to let Cowpuc come up with a good story,, could have been interesting indeed,, maybe he still will. Could have started with how good cheese cake is to eat, and then followed by visiting rights, and maybe going into bike repair and then discussing eating to fill out the belt line,,,,, well maybe he will. But yes Squid,, it was all about you!!!
  11. I still use MapSource. It's a Garmin program no longer available, but I have the file. 56000kb
  12. He's not back is he???
  13. So when is it you're going back to work?? The first couple of weeks is like holidays, then maybe you can extend it to a vacation,,, but after that??? If you need to keep busy, give me a call. Looks like you're having fun already,,, what's his name?
  14. There's a thistle out there,, I can almost see it,,, right on Saddlebums spot,, glad I'm not sleeping with him.
  15. If it were battery fluid, that is acid, so you need to flush and wash with baking soda. Check the area under the battery with a heavy runny mixture of baking first to see if the battery did leak, even though it is dry now it will still eat away at everything in it's path. If the baking soda bubbles, you have acid, keep washing until all bubbling stops.
  16. I'll be there,,, I met Earl before and there really is nothing to be afraid of,,, so come out to meet him, he's kind of a nice chap but usually so busy that he doesn't stick with you for long. Thanks for all your help in helping others Earl.
  17. One thing that is different is the computer display,, for the rest you'll have to wait for real answers.
  18. High temp could be due to the drain setting on the drain valve located bottom and center of rad. It's a plastic nut with the words off and on embossed on the face. The word 'off' should be at the 2 o'clock position. Once you have that figured out, it's time to sync the carbs to eliminate that being an issue. You might find in the process that once the carb linkages get warm that they might be hanging up.
  19. Only 1 week to go and planning needs to be completed. Please check the calendar if you are coming!!!!!,,, would be a real bummer if we didn't have enough room on the dinner plate for all of you. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/calendar.php?do=getinfo&e=433&day=2015-5-23&c=1 Weather looks to be quite acceptable, the trees are greener, the snow is gone. I'll cut the grass, clean up the shop, flush the toilet, check with the neighbours, inform the cops, make sure there will be enough gas at the station, tell Marca she's on duty, see about cleaning the road, set out some chairs, plan a route for the afternoon, set out butt buckets, and lastly,,, get my speech ready! Hopefully everything will be ready for all you folks,, if not, I know where I can find some help,,,, so bring your working gloves!
  20. Guess I need glasses maybe,,, that wouldn't be the Rooster now would it???
  21. Yes,,, A dog has a master. But A cat has staff.
  22. Bringing a skidoo suit??
  23. Hey,,, $12 \yr, for sleeping neked??? that's all,,, would you feel better iffin you were charged $24\yr. Now if you want to do that, just let me know, I'll send somebody up that can accommodate such things, but don't ask that person to look in the fridge or go looking for your socks, because seeing wouldn't be one of the strong points of said person.
