    A week after I got my 85 I took my daughter for a ride,,, she's 5'5". We came home and made a turn in the drive and came to a stop with the front wheel cocked to the right. Yep, it was going over all right and me trying to hold it up, but it just kept going and going and I was straining more all the time,,,, when all of a sudden, pop!!! it stood right back up. Allison asked me 'now what was all that about?'. We had dipped low enough that she had actually stuck out her foot on the drive and gave one heck of a shove to stand things back up. By the next morning I decided that next time that scoot wants to lay down,,,,I'll let it,,,,, hadn't been sore like that for a long time.

    I'm thinking that the only way it would smoke at low rpm is if an intake valve was slow in opening,, like super slow. I suppose worn valve guides might also be the culprit, but then it would smoke on start-up,,,, so I'm really thinking that you have too much oil in the crankcase. It should only be half way up the site glass when on the center stand.

    I'm in need of some volunteers. Don't tell Marca, but she has a birthday coming up, Nov 15, and I need 60 volunteers to help out celebrating this milestone. Yes I said 60 volunteers. So if you think you could help out, I have a chef who will cook some food and a place to sit. What the volunteers need to do is to eat what's been cooked and served on a platter. Can't tell you why I need 60, but there will be lots of food, so that may be one reason. The date is Nov 15 2011 The time is 7pm,,,,, do not be late The place: Scot's on Scott,, 74 Scott Ave, Paris Ont Marca should arrive about 7:05, and she is NOT supposed to hear about this from anybody. PS,,,, There shall be best wishes only!!!! we already have tooooooo much stuff. Please post on the calendar so I can keep track. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/calendar.php?do=getinfo&e=286&day=2011-11-15 We'll see how this pans out,,, hopefully it'll work. Carl

    I could use both outter halves of the saddle bags if they are in good shape. I don't need the locks or anything, just the outside half. One of mine has a crack, and the other has a bad scratch.
  12. Marcarl
    I think I could agree with that.

    I'd have to get some grey hair before I'd do that sort of a thing,,,,, on a Wing no less.

    You will be in our thoughts and prayers. Loosing somebody from this earth is never easy, but it sure helps to have support.

    What exactly do you mean by 'shift shaft'.

    So now my 2 cents worth: We ride staggered because that gives us the closest formation with the most safety. It keeps the group together so as to form one unit and so discourage others from injecting themselves into our group and so causing havoc. It also gives us room, if necessary for ANY reason to use the track or part of the track that we are presently not using. It's good to keep this in mind, that a rider OWNS that part of the road and we let him have it, it's his, he needs to know that!!!!! As we come to an intersection the same hold true. As we may have all experienced somewhere, turns don't always turn out exactly as we have them planned and so we may have to adjust in the corner. If we don't allow the rider his space, things can get a little dicey, but sticking to the rule that the whole lane is his, comfort and respect are present. So we need to examine our starting position and time. The bike ahead of us, needs to stay ahead of us and that is the following bikers' responsibility. So much for left turns. On right turns, it becomes more important, for the scoot on the inside track could find that the turn becomes much too tight for the way he has it set up,, so he will need the room to compensate. So keep your distance and your position. One rule must prevail, so I say: keep your formation and relax, you don't need to rush, after all, we are riding,,,and if your are in a hurry, leave your bike at home,,,, enjoy!

    Pork in the Pines is in Minnesota. Just put your cursor on the flag and it will tell you. Put your cursor on the earth sign and it will give you a map.
