Whose Black Cherry Hannigan is that??

Seeing as you have twice the braking area in the front it stands to reason they will last a lot longer than the rear! It's normal to brake a little harder in the rear unless you like nose diving into a stop. From what I've read here it is normal to replace the rears around 10K or less if you use the rears more than the front. 70K is outstanding for the front. I think those plastic dirt covers are still available. They are the same ones for the 1st gen MK2 as well, same rear caliper and also used on the fronts...

Wayne email'ed me last night. He found an Amish place that specialized in starters and generators and they found the R/R to be bad. They found one and had it shipped overnight and charged up the battery and now all is well with Wayne's World...

Yes, he ordered a new regulator. If you have a multimeter Wayne is smart enough to test a few things. I'm suspecting his battery more than anything but it could be his regulator especially if he put one of those cheap Chinese ones in... PS his cell number should be in his profile.

You could always WRITE down the mileage at the beginning of the season...

Uhhh, is the Pope Catholic?? Does a bear, err, you know...

Hey Tom, any time you want to do a road trip we would be glad to join you two!

There is a venturerider, Wizard765, stranded with a charging system problem down there. He is with another couple and they are on vacation. I may have to go down there with his friend's pickup and trailer, about a 6 hr ride each way, but if there is someone in the area that can help him fix his problem that would be great! He has a new Rick's stator installed a month ago so the issue could be either the R?R or the battery. Not sure if Wayne has a voltmeter with him or not...

Aren't you glad you asked, Dee Gee?!!?

We sometimes spin a bottle to decide which way to go...

What network Randy??

See ya at Big Tom's M&E in August, NE from where you are now...

Yet another living example that there IS still hope for mankind!!

Fast enough to lift the front wheel waaay off the ground! Top speed over 130MPH...

Later '85 on up! Plenty of overpriced parts on fleabay and yes you can still get new parts...

Thanks for the heads up on that Karl! I just started insulin a few months back as my oral medicine wasn't cutting it any more. My levels are back to normal. I will pray for you my friend!!

Sooo, the moral of the story is don't buy a beemer?? Or, maybe the moral is the more you pay for a bike the fussier you are...

Sooo, we all go Batty??

Great info! Most of us buy ready made plug wire sets off of ebay. Be sure to look at the coil ends for green crud...

What I meant by that is venturerider members with good mechanical aptitude to help you out. In the Windsor area there are several members for you to meet...

There are several good 1st gen mechanics in Ontario if we knew where in Ontario you are...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Jonas!!!

Pull your air cleaners and see if they are soggy. See how it runs with them off...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Father Time!!!

Oh Mr. Pucster (and Mr. Buckshot)...
