  1. 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!

  2. 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.

  3. Skid:

     

    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:

  4. 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.

  5. 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!

     

    CONGRATS ON THE 25 YEARS! :cool10:

  6. 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?

    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.

    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!

  9. 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?

    Holding the handle partially in allows all the tiny air bubbles to work their way up the hose line to the reservoir. Leaving it over night ( sometimes for 24 hrs) usually helps and you get a good firm handle the next day. The oil is very thick (relatively speaking), so it takes a while for the bubbles to move thru the oil. This procedure worked for me when I put new lines on my 1st Gen.
