    There is a new very important government study on just how intelligent crows are. The state of California found about 200 dead crows on its highways, and there was concern that they may have died from Avian Flu. They had a Bird Pathologist examined the remains of all the crows, and he confirmed the problem was definitely NOT Avian Flu, to everyone's relief. However, he determined that 98% of the crows had been killed by impact with trucks, and only 2% were killed by car impact. The State of California then hired an Ornithological Behaviorist to determine the disproportionate percentages for truck versus car kill. The Ornithological Behaviorist determined the cause in short order. When crows eat road kill, they always set-up a look-out Crow in a nearby tree to warn of impending danger. His conclusion was that the lookout crow could say "Cah," but he could not say "Truck."

    Well, since the battery was only reading 9.5 volts I knew I needed a new battery anyway. So I bought one and installed it. Viola, I'm back on the road. Still cant believe NOTHING worked with a low battery. A special thanks to Eck for the call and the tutorial and link on the switch bypass. I'll be doing that by weeks end. Thanks to all!

    I'm not sure what your telling me. Can you give me a little more detail please? I'm starting to think it may be the battery. I just thought it should at least power the lights or speedo or something, even if it wont crank the bike.

    I finally found the main fuse. Its OK. All fuses are good. Battery read 9.5 volts. As I said before, the bike was running fine when I parked it. Been sitting about a month. No power at all.
  6. Motorcycle Mike
    Please tell me where the main fuse is. I cant seem to locate it.

    Went to take the bike out Saturday and had no power at all. I thought since the bike had been sitting for a few weeks the battery was dead. So I pushed it back in the garage and hooked up the battery charger. Checked this morning and the charger indicates the battery is full so I turned on the key and......................nothing. No lights, speedo, horn, fuel pump, NOTHING! It was running fine when I parked it. What do you think? Fuse? Which one? Or something else? TIA.

    Someone who knows better than I will confirm, but I'm almost certain it will not work with the center stand.

    $1 a month is a real bargan. I've been here 3 years and the $36 in yearly dues has saved me hundreds. Go ahead and do it.

    You could go up 129 and come back on 28 through Franklin. Hit 64 then 75 to 80. Darn good riding right there.

    I have yet to attend the vogel meet but unless you want to go to Gattlinburg or ride the Cherohala, it should have no effect at all.
  14. Motorcycle Mike
    I rarely travel that section of 441 due to the traffic. That is a favorite route from North Ga to Gatlinburg for many and often slows to a crawl. The closure will surely clog other routes. I do frequent the Cherohala. That is gona cramp my style.

    Yea, I've been there a couple of times. Once to lay my nephew to rest, then again to spread his dads ashes. It is a beautiful place and what a ceremony they give.

    I haven't payed for my license since 1969. It's one of the perks for being a military vet in Ga.

    A friends daughter in law's water broke at about the same time fram as your daughters. She carried it for over a month before the baby was born healthy. Hope yours has a happy ending also. We'll say a little prayer just in case.

    I'm shocked! From the first time I met Mark I felt as if I had known him for years. I'm really glad we made it to Asheville this year. Prayers out to Mary and the rest of his family.
