    'Sorry, here in Ontario we leave on time.....period..... if you're not here, you're not here!!!! and if we start waiting on everybody we could wait for a long time,,,, there are a lot of 2nd gens that would think they could make it here in time.' So let us know what time you'll be here:happy65: and we'll deal with it, but ice cream does melt!

    Marca may or may not come, depends on how tired she feels. Yesterday she went for a nap after supper, so it's hour by hour, I'm afraid.

    I would suggest it's either the red button,,, keep playing with it, or one of the 'step' buttons is stuck. Poke away at them, add some contact cleaner and see what happens. And NO, we're not going to be on Ch 9. That reminds me, mine don't work so good either,,, another thing to do on a rainy day.

    Obviously you haven't had to deal with the feanutant valve yet, for it can't operate without the assistance of the schneider valve, or the occurrence gate which is a direct relation to both and makes neither one codeficient.

    Are you sure about only having the contact board? I believe there are 2 pieces and one stays inside the switch when you pull it apart.

    There should be an accordion shaped expansion rubber in the rear master cylinder that fills about 1\2 the reservoir, and works just fine, never have to worry whether it's too full, just fill it to the top,,,,,, now if the relief hole is plugged, you have a problem and that is not the fact that there is too much fluid, but that the air can't go anywhere.

    Another year older and deeper in debt. Olde St Peter don't you call him home,,,,,,,,,,, Because we all like him too much and want him to stick around a while yet. And he's quite handy to have around as well.

    The 2 nuts holding it in place are actually behind the collector, shoved right close to the bottom of the engine. Hard to see and find, but they are there.

    Never mind the u-turns, they would have got a 4 sub-division tour just to find out that Boot Hill is hidden from view, I mean, isn't Boot Hill the last place anybody would want to be?

    These are the ones I use and find them very comfortable. 32" inseam and a small butt.

    There is a spring ring part, in a groove, way down the the fork that seats into the lower triple tree that is supposed to prevent the fork from coming up any higher than flush with the top of the upper triple tree. The only way you'll get the fork to come up higher would be to remove the spring ring, and that would not be a good thing, for then the fork could slide higher on the one side side vs the other and so cause instability in the front end.

    Bartleys, on Dundas in Woodstock, about 8:45 pm Remember, I said ABOUT, we do have a 2nd gen with us so far. Or we could find that new place out in the 'country' at Boot Hill, but I'm not sure how the ice-cream is there.

    So the minds want to know. Were we not good enough to visit? Was it too hot here? Was our food not up to snuff:canada: Were our roads not curvy enough:canada: Better let us know before we start feeling bad:confused:

    Brakes are hanging up? maybe?

    It's time to find out if the ice-cream is as good this year as it was last year, so I did a test run tonight and so far I'm not sure,,, sooo I'm going to do another run tomorrow, 6:30pm. Anybody want to join me?

    My son-in-law was working on moving a gravel pile the other day, when a brand new Western Star dump pulls up to the pile to dump his load. Guy is on the phone for about 20 minutes while 3 more trucks dump, and this guy just sits there,,,,,, turns out he doesn't have any idea on how to raise the box to dump it. Now who would send a guy out in a $150,000 truck and then not know how to dump it?

    We had fun. Didn't do no 20 min test ride ride, no sir, we went whole hog, all day, 9 to 4 and then I let Freebird ride a well broke in beast, didn't want him to experience any muffler failure or worse. He's probably right about the long legs thing, but then I don't have long legs. So now for the real comments, first the good. I think the looks are cute. The handle bars were positioned well. It was OK for comfort, something Marca and I would have to get used to, same if we bought something else. Plenty of power with about 400 to 450lbs live weight and no baggage or trailer. I would say it would handle a full load just fine, but you would have to crank the throttle a little higher. I ran about a max of 5000 rpm's, hey Marca was on-board and my head was already quite busy! It's not as smooth as the V4, but then it a V-twin, so to be expected. Brakes were good enough, but i ran out of dimes so I'm not sure if it would stop on one. It has an easy reverse,,,, squeeze clutch, go to 1st, push button and drop below 1st, release clutch and the thing backs up!!!!! The bad? It corners totally different and that would take some time to get used to. I got the feeling that I was being encouraged to get off the left side on a right hand corner, so the lean effect of 2 wheels is gone. It's really stable, especially when it's not moving, a plus for the missus. Stability on the road was good as well, it's just that we had to learn how to ride it,,, ya,, both passenger and rider have to learn it all over new, same as on 2 wheels,, only different, very different. I don't like silver, but they do make different colors. It could use more lights, but Bob has lots of those and I don't think he would miss any,, would he? I would think that if we had one for a month or so, we could get quite used to it and maybe even love it,,,,, as it was, we took B2Dad's trike out later and found it much nicer, but then it didn't vibrate as much, and it sat more like what we were used to, but we had to get used to the cornering effect there as well. We then got back on our trusty 1st gen, and we both said: WHAT WERE WE THINKING????? Hey,,, when your used to a real bike there is just nooooooo comparison!!!! Many thanks to Pioneer Motor-Sports for a day well spent and being so helpful . In the end analysis, you are going to have to find out for yourself if you like it, but a 20 minute ride won't tell the story. If you like the concept, like the stability, and the luxury that is provided then buy one and let it grow on you,,,, many folks love them, but they did have to break new ground.

    Guess you are are going to have to answer some questions: The carb sync tool you are showing, were all synced before you hooked it up to the bike? Which screws were you turning on? The page from your manual doesn't show up so good, so maybe we'd better start from square one to keep things simple. Take some pictures of the screws.
