Are you absolutely sure it is full of antifreeze? It sounds like you are low on coolant. RandyA

Another thing I did was to get it the way I wanted and then went to my favorites and saved it. I then deleted an older setting of VR I had in favorites and it is now working great. I don't know if that helped me in doing this, but it seemed to. RandyA

I have been very frustrated with my laptop and yesterday morning about 2:30 am I decided to wipe it clean. I did save my documents and pictures to a thumb drive after saving all my favorites and restored it back to factory settings. Now it is fast again and when I went on VR, the change I tried to make earlier was saved and now I have the font, size and color control I had before. Thanks everyone. RandyA

Took a beautiful ride yesterday with temps around 68 degrees and sunny. We still have some beautiful color on a few trees. I ran the tank down pretty empty and stopped by the Farmers Coop and filled up with ethanol free gas. Being from the mid south, I usually some during each month, but last year it was pretty cold. RandyA

Trying something else and it worked. RandyA

OK, I did what Dingy said and we will see what happens now. RandyA Well, the only thing that worked was the 1st one I clicked on, which was font. OK, I checked the settings and it did not save the change, even though I got the box thanking me for updating. I tried several times and it would not save the change and went back to Standard Settings.

OK, where is editor controls? RandyA

Ok, we will see how this works. I have never tried doing all the options before I started typing. If you figure how to set a default, please let me know. Thanks Jeff. RandyA Edit, well, it didn't work.

I posted earlier about loosing the ability to highlite my post and then click on font, then size and then color after the site change. Now, this feature does not work the way it did. I got 75 views on the post and the only responses were me adding what I was finding. Am I the only one that has had this issue? I do notice a lot less color and font changes than before. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?89479-Lost-size-of-letters-and-color RandyA

Yep, Seafoam is not a good idea, but how about JB Weld? It really is amazing what can be diagnosed and what can be fixed today. You and your family will be in our thoughts and prayers and I feel that you will get this behind you and you will get this fixed. Randy & Linda

Plus, I get a 10% discount with my VA card. RandyA

Yep, that's how we do it here. About the only advantage living in the city limits. I have a surprisingly strong electric leaf blower I use to pile most of them up and I have a large gas powered with about an 8 HP motor on it that I pull around behind my lawn mower that really moves a lot of leaves. RandyA

I like having a lot of trees around my house, but this time of year becomes a lot of work. I have already hauled about 15 loads of leaves on a tough vinyl sheet that is about 8 by 18 that I load as high as my lawn tractor. This about what one load looks like. RandyA

That is when I pick up my cell phone and dial 911. I have done it before and watched the guy get pulled over. I may have saved someone's life. RandyA

Thanks Kevin. I am planning to do a serious brake upgrade this winter and folk rebuild going to MKII forks. I plan on doing the SS lines and caliper upgrades. I am still a little on the fence about delinking the brakes, but I probably will. RandyA

This is another reason I don't have a heel/toe shifter. They are known to cause the same breakage you encountered. RandyA

Now that I have a Time Out camper, I am trying to figure out what to do with my old Travel Lite camper I have used for years. Other than the canvas being pretty old on the walls, it is actually very useable. It has a popup table or you can lay everything down and have a full size mattress and it is quiet comfortable. I am considering taking the tub off and putting a car top carrier that I have on the frame and just using it when I want to carry something small. It is already wired for LED lights, so I would have to make brackets to remount the lights if I convert it to a trailer. Well, just rambling some thoughts. RandyA

If you read the comments, here does appear to be some type covering available to go over it, even though he does not show it. RandyA

Does the MKII's have the 16mm master for the front, or do I have to find one off something else? RandyA

You could buy the 83 for $20 and get the seals to rebuild it and be good to go. The one on my bike came off an 86 engine I picked up many years ago and has never leaked and probably has 140,000 miles on it. You just never know, but if I was going to put seals in one, I would want one with the metal impeller. RandyA

You can buy automotive copper core wire at most parts stores and make your own, Randy

In 96, I bought my 83 with 23,000 miles on it for $2,100. I now have over 170,000 miles on it. Due to it getting knocked over by a woman in a pickup truck in about 2009, her insurance paid me $3,400 and I bought it back for $200 and had to do some plastic repair. Here is a picture taken about two months ago. RandyA

While coming out of Virginia back into Tennessee a couple days ago, I saw regular 87 octane at $2.59.9. What is the lowest you have seen? RandyA

trying something else Ok, I got it to work, but I had to re-highlite the script each time I added something. I also noticed I lost the highlite once I chose something else and it did not do that before. I have not changed anything on my computer. RandyA
