    Big Tom got hit hard according to local news channels. I would guess 3 feet or more and 2 more feet due in the next 24 hours. We are expecting 6-12 inches in the next 24 hours, in Rochester. Along with high winds which will cause blowing and drifting and poor visibility. I-90 is still closed from Rochester to PA border and will remain closed until sometime Thursday night or Friday morning. All stranded vehicles on I-90 have been removed as of 6:00 PM today.

     

    I am being optimistic and haven't put my bike away yet because it is supposed to be in the 50's this weekend and I am hoping the roads aren't awash in melting snow, so I can get one more ride in.

    OK, Fool......you can turn off the machine. There is 70" of that white stuff near Buffalo in the last 24 hours and still coming down! All the highways are closed and Big Tom must be pulling his hair out in frustration. :bang head: :headache:

     

    Now we have to be worried about warm temperatures over the weekend and local flooding.

    3" of snow and they close the schools?? Up here in Roc, the roads don't even close with 30" of snow, much less the schools. We are more apt to have schools closed due to windchill than snow. They generally are closed when the windchill gets below 10 below zero on a sustained basis. I should have gone to school in OH. I would have had half the winter off!

    WV Bridge day

    If you look closely, in the third pic (above), you can see the launch platform in the middle of the bridge. It is 875 feet to the water surface. There is a catapult that will throw you out over the river, if you are a little more daring than the average jumper.

     

    A few more pics of jumpers. The trick is to land on the yellow triangle and not in the river.

    I have pics of Dave and Joe standing on the bridge and they are looking over the side of the bridge and saying to each other "Who goes first, you or me???" :Laugh: :rotf:

    Steamers Birthday

    Happy Birthday, Bob. I didn't have time to ride on this beautiful day in WNY. "The Boss" insisted that I finish installing a new hardwood floor in her kitchen. My honey do list is longer than ever.

     

    I hope you have many more b-days.

    Bob, if you didn't leave all the Captain Morgan empties lying on the floor in your hotel room, you wouldn't be tripping. You have to remember to put them in the trash can. Much safer that way. :rasberry: :big-grin-emoticon:

     

    Have a great time on your trip!

    Bill:

    I was looking at the photo of the campground and it appears to be a new campground. There appears to be a total lack of mature trees and shaded areas. Also, have seen some comments, on the Internet, about flooding in the area during heavy rain storms. Is this campground in a flood plain? I don't want to wake up to a foot of water in my tent. Is there another campground available in the area that offers tree shaded sites?

    1972 Honda 350 Scramble Carb Issue

    in Watering Hole

    Posted

    Brian:

     

    Let me preface this with the comment that I don't know anything about Honda 350s, but here is what I would check (not necessarily in this order):

     

    1. Plugged fuel filter.

    2. Plugged vent line from fuel tank causing a vacuum.

    3. Floats in carbs stuck.

    4. Junk in fuel tank partially plugging pickup.

    5. Kinked fuel line preventing fuel from filling bowls in carbs fast enough to keep up with demand.

    6. Electrical fault due to heat after engine warms up.

     

    As I said, I don't know anything about this bike, these are just things to check of a general nature.

    Weekend of August 8 - WV Campout

    Joe:

     

    I assume the "Bridge weekend" is for the River Gorge jumping gala. If so, that is the weekend of the 18th of Oct, I think. I plan on traveling to your campground that weekend. Should be a nice traveling weekend to see the Fall colors.

     

    PS: It was good to see you again at the IR in AL.

     

     

    See you on the 18th!

    Lost chrome cover

    in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)

    Posted

    I lost the chrome cover that mounts on the left side of the collector box, somewhere in WV, on the way to the IR in AL. I looked on a parts list for the part number, so I could order a new one from Yammie, but couldn't find the part or number. Can someone find the PN for me or have a left side cover that they want to part with?
