The rubber seals around the windows on my motorhome have black spots / stains all over them. I think it's mold, but really don't know. It's getting bad enough that if I can't clean it, I may replace all the seals. Since there's always someone with an answer for ANYTHING on this site, I figured I'd post the question....How can I clean this stuff off ??? Soap & water, degreaser, and even wiping it down with peroxide does very little to clean it up. Any ideas?

52, although I feel like I've never quite grown up.....still think like I'm 22.

If you do go through Renovo, ya gotta stop and check out the scenic overlook.

I'll take some time tomorrow and hold you in my thoughts. I'll say a prayer and try to send some good Karma your way. Best of luck to ya. I'm sure we'll be hearing from you soon.

Glad to see you're up and around enough to feel that pain, and to keep us updated. Just remember what I tell kids when they're in pain.....It'll feel better when it stops hurtin'. True Dat. Take care of yourself, old timer. Hope to see you in the Fall at one of Dave's September get togethers.

​ I'd highly recommend Simpler Times Museum, near Tidioute, along Scenic Route 6. I seem to remember the sign on the door said "Open by appointment or chance", so it may be a crap shoot whether you can get in or not, but Rt. 6 is a nice ride anyway. When we went, they were closed, but the owner, 85+ years old came walking down from his house and let us in. Great fella, ...told some great stories. I seem to remember it was $4 to get in, but he has some pretty cool stuff in there. http://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g53823-d7083814-Reviews-Simpler_Times_Museum-Tidioute_Pennsylvania.html

I'm sure others will differ, but I don't see it as much of a problem. Since the crack goes from the edge to the nearby hole, the stress should be relieved by the hole. I'd like to know why it cracked in the first place. I know that when I put my F4 on I had to elongate the holes slightly with a Dremel tool. As long as there's no additional stresses on the mounted windshield, I wouldn't worry about it.

Yammer ! Glad to see that you're up and around enough to at least type. You were missed at MD. Hope you heal quickly my friend. Take care

152 miles roundtrip. That's why I was willing to take that BMW enduro bike. Hop, skip and a jump.

Like others have said, a big heartfelt THANKS for all you do. I feel like I'm part of a family here.....Such great people.....Lotsa good Karma....and this site that you've created is what brought it all together. Sometimes good things are ready to just fall into place, it just takes the right person at the right time to take the initiative to make it happen. That person was / is you.

Glad to hear ya made it home ok. I'm always amazed at the quality of people I meet at the Venture get togethers. Truly a great group of folks.

Glad ya made it home OK. Thanks for the kickstand plate and the rumballs. I think a fella could get drunk off of those. lol. Good to meet ya, ...see ya next year.

Had another great MD. Enjoyed seeing some old VR friends, and meeting some new ones. Made it home safe, although a bit wet. I was a bit nervous riding that BMW in the heavy wind / rain, (light bike), but it performed pretty well. I enjoyed the Rum Balls (whoa...those will wake you up), Apple Pie, Black Death and especially the company. It got a bit drunk out Friday nite, ....I didn't head for the tent until 2am. Waayy past my normal bedtime. Went and saw the Stones Saturday night. I gotta tell ya, for a bunch of old farts, they still put on a great show. I hope I can still jump around like that when I get to be their age. They're THE iconic rock group, and I'm bettin' this'll be their last tour, so I'm glad I got a chance to see 'em one last time. Been a full weekend. Thanks Don and Eileen for everything.

Sorry to hear of the mishap. There's a lotta good Karma going your way from the folks at MD. Glad to hear that you're gonna be OK. Like others have said, I have a truck and a trailer if you need a way to get the bike home. I'd be glad to help. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

It's looking like the R word, so I was thinking of coming up Friday nite with the motorhome and leaving Saturday afternoon to make the Stones concert. Wouldn't seem to make much sense to ride up Saturday morning in the rain, then back home Saturday afternoon, in the rain, then to the outdoor concert, in the rain. If I do the motorhome thing, I can stay Friday nite, and return Saturday well rested and dry.....not sure what to do here.

You have my deepest sympathies. We love 'em like children.

I don't speak French.

Yup, that was me at the end of your drive around 4:30 having a WTF moment. For some reason I had it stuck in my head that it was Memorial Day Weekend. No matter, ....we enjoyed the ride, went back to Wellington and had dinner at Dimitris, then the wife dragged me through the antique shop. It was Heritage Days in Wellington, so there were a few folks roaming around....got to see the Lincoln Funeral Train....all in all a good day riding, weather was perfect, and it's a ride I wouldn't have otherwise taken: with all the projects I have going on right now. We'll do it all over again next Saturday, although we'll have to leave early as we have tickets to see the Stones in Columbus Saturday evening. We saw America play in Cleveland last nite....didn't get home until 2. Great show, and after all these years the lead singers voice sounds just like it did in the 70s. Pretty cool. What time are they putting the chow out???.......When do the dancin' girls start???...

I think I found 'em. Googled the name and came up with an address.

UHHH..... What's the address again? Getting ready to head up, but have no address for the GPS.

At my first MD, (2010) Earl came over and checked out my First Gen, and taught me how to sync my carbs by explaining as he did it for me. I come to MD 'cause I know there's folks like Earl there. He's very knowledgeable, and helpful, and is a great supplier for Venture parts. Thanks Earl.

My older brother retired last Fall. Bought a house in Big Pine Key, (In the FL Keys) and I'll be helping him move down in July. He's thrilled about the idea of moving back to the Keys. I was talking to him the other day and he said "This retirement thing is GREAT !!! Congrats on the retirement. Now get out there and make us proud. I'm happy for ya...and a bit jealous.

​'Nuff said

I hate it when that happens !!!

Allrightie then
