  1. Most likely place is a valve cover gasket. I have one leaking, that's on the spring todo list. Gotta give Skydoc a call and get some shipped up here.
  2. It is a good place to buy Everclear for our Apple Pie making friends. They stock it (federal facility) even if your state doesn't allow it's sale .
  3. I'm there with you on the piaa, I run that bulb on the trike and I agree with you, it's brighter than the silverstar. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk
  4. Well Dave, I'm impressed with the AVR so far. Installation was a P.I.A. The auto speaker calibration YPAO worked pretty good, only tweak i had to make to it so far is it set my front surround speakers as Large even though the sub was handling LFE. Otherwise setup was not too bad with the on screen menu's. I'm having fun with all the other features it offers, I'll be exploring and tweaking for weeks I'm sure. It's leaps above the 9 year old Onkyo it replaces. IMO it can't be beat for price paid / features. 👍👍 Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk
  5. That's the start of a long downhill slide into parts failures! TRADE IT IN NOW !!! I hear Vespa has some great deals right now. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

  7. That should become a best seller in no time! 😉 Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk
  8. " Buckshot said Maybe we should start raggen on Raggie.....he never had another meet and eat. Its all his fault we don't see each other. " You must be bugging the house, Jeannie & I have been talking about doing it again. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk
  9. Hey there Bucky! Good to hear from you, thought maybe you were frozen to the seat your tractor and unable to reach your phone! Hang on buddy, springs a commin' ! Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk
  10. For the money there's nothing else out there that comes close in what it offers. Even has a phono input! My plan is to run an ATMOS 5.1.4 setup. Pre outs if I decide to amp it up. All of Yamaha's R&D and manufacturing is done in house so Q.C. is a step above many other audio makers. UPS man will have it at my door tomorrow
  11. The 90 watts of my last 7.1 AVR would make your ears bleed if it was cranked all the way. I'm sure I'll be happy with this one, it is a Yamaha after all!
  12. I ordered the Yamaha TSR-7810 today, I should see it Wednesday.
  13. Better over the hill than under it!
  14. I don't think Onkyo will be getting anymore of my $$ ! Mine had been in for repair twice already !! Poor QC and customer service.
  15. Like you Bob, with my tinnitus, my hearing isn't the greatest anymore so spending big bucks on stereo doesn't make sense. Denon is #2 on my short list. For high end stuff, Carver & Krell have always sounded great to me. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk
  16. Anthem is a bit too pricy for me. That first link for the Yamaha TSR-7810 is what I'm leaning towards, lots of great features for an awesome price. The Yamaha RXV781 is the exact same unit thats sold at big box stores for over $800. The Yamaha's have a great reliability reputation if you ask repair shops about frequency of repairs. I have a computer waiting here to use as a DLNA media server so network connectivity is a must. In the future I will go 4k and try out the Atmos speaker configuration, it looks to be the next step in HT sound. I usually don't get much past half volume on any receiver but the extra headroom of 100+ watts means I'll never get to the point of clipping or distortion. I'd have gone Onkyo again but don't care for the GUI menu plus the last one only lasted 9 years! I have a receiver I bought in 1977 that blows away most of the new stuff google LR9090 Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk
  17. Yep,,, it sure did! My 9 year old Onkyo sent up some smoke signals and sang it's last song Now it's time to figure out what will take it's place, I'm looking at THIS one or THIS . I'd like to hear of any suggestions on others with similar features and price range. My speakers are all PSB's rated at 6 ohms, Front L & R are Image 3LR, Center is Image 8C and rears Image 1B. My sub is an Onkyo SKW750 , I was running an Energy AS-90 till the crossover board failed and the Onkyo came back up from the basement.
  18. That's too bad,,, I have a 11'x15' 2 room canvas tent I haven't been sure what to do with It's big enough to sleep in one side and park the bike in the other.
  19. The Aux tank Carbon One makes is a MUST have. The reverse kit is not really necessary as the trike rolls pretty easy, just chose your parking spots wisely. For an installer I'd suggest you only deal with an installer that has done many RSV conversions and has a very good reputation. Coach Rice Trikes in Georgia did ours and it's been flawless.
  20. Best wishes on a speedy recovery. Hoping we'll finally me at PIP this year.
  21. Your life insurance may buy your great-great-great grandson a new Venture in 2117
  22. Nice job on the install. Your assistant Eileen probably does the bulk of the work. You are awesome for all you're doing for your BIL. How far will you travel to install the lifts? They look like nice units. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk
  23. WOO-HOO!!!! Don't forget to show him your video
