Just a thought here fellas and nothing more than that. We came last night and route 2 was a real easy ride. Shoot down Baumgartner Rd to US 20E and then 58S to 303E...just another option and it would keep you off the slab.

HA! Were already here
-
Great news indeed JT! Very happy to hear about it, life is strange and the lord works in mysterious ways...you are still in our thoughts my friend
-
We'll be leaving in about 30 minutes...John it will be great to see you again my friend
-

Red, I do appreciate where your coming from Bud, and I know you well enough to know it's stated to do just what you have mentioned...spur the interest. All of us old timers know nobody does that better than you Lots of stumbling blocks in putting one of these on, I know, Colorado just about pushed me over the edge. Getting it back up top here will do nothing but help it and hopefully push attendance up. Like it's been mentioned, it's great to see you back on the site. It has been a bit quiet and your just the guy to get it stirred up So thanks for your effort and Thank you to everybody that is involved and helping this event take flight...it will be a great time no matter what happens

Isn't there a turn signal relay in the circut? perhaps that is starting to take a crap and thus giving the problems -
I suppose it really doesn't matter does it I'm excited to see you folks again

Let me just interject something here....This rally isn't over, it hasn't even started. So lets save some of the thoughts that it's doomed for later. This rally WILL be one of the best ones we have had to date. Anyone that shows up in Kitchener will not leave disappointed, sometimes things can get over complicated. That being said lets all show up that can and have a great time....I know I'm not gonna miss it unless I'm DEAD!

That is a sweet looking setup Larry, can't wait to see it up close and personal
-
Double and triple ot steel wool and lots of elbow grease, I also have a polishing wheel in the garage
-

Or use some underarm deodorant :rotf: -
Your in Ohio, close enough for some of the Michigan members to come down to your place and give a hand with the forks. There will be lots of info too, it's going to be a great day but it will go by FAST! Dan, I know what a PIA the valve covers are to get off in the bike, not a fun job at all and pretty time consuming. I know many appreciate the effort of it and thank you for wanting to help the members out

Dons house is in Oberlin Ohio SW of Cleveland, 16898 Hawley rd. Stop in if you can, you might not want to leave.
-
Get with me Saturday Jay and we'll put it on, wont take any time at all.

It was 90 degrees last year and it just about killed me! It will be a great day no matter what the weather, I guarantee it

Folks, Not wanting to rain on anyones parade here, but some of the things that I have been reading are VERY involved projects. I would have to say that some reconsideration might be in order. Fork seals are time consuming and having a clean area to work is a must. The same with adjusting valves, The reason I mention this is I know how these things turn out and the day will fly by so fast and we will all be BSing that we should really think about performing simple maintenance tasks. I'm not saying this to let anyone down, but we have to be practical and Don has been gracious enough to open up his home to us for this, and we dont want to destroy his garage ans urroundings with grease and grime. A good rule of thumb is to keep the repairs you have in mind to a 60 to 90 minute max. There are many members that will come to folks houses and help with larger maintenance needs....just something to keep in mind

The RPM need to be up more, about 1000 rpm's, the charging systems on these Ventures is less than desireable. As as it dying, if you have taken care of the fuel delivery system it shouldn't be that system. But it doesn't make any sense as the problem would seem to lend itself to a fuel problem. Get the RPM's up and see if that doesn't take of the problem, BTW did you do a complete tune up with wires caps and plugs also?

...for the '86, I just bought a right side Markland floorboard off ebay and now I need a left....anyone have just a left they want to part with??
-
Looking forward to seeing you and George also Bobbie....it's been way too long!
-
I'll be bringing my jack and hopefully a lift adapter, my electrical box and tools to drill R/K mufflers.

Were leaving Thursday night and help Don set up on Friday so we'll see you folks down there
