    Desolate ! give you a hint , you'l get to see where area 51 is ! I think your about a month early , I would carry a extra gal. of gas . are you riding 2 up or is there going to be another bike ? I have rode from Kingman west many times and that early in the year can be fun .

    I remember that day , the wind was so bad that kept blowing my glasses off , could not ride very far had to turn around . when i 1st got my 1st gen , the 1st thing i hated about it was the buffing and cross winds . so i cut the wind shield down 2 in. made worst ! i hated to follow suvs and when i got above 65 mph with just a little bit of wind the bike was all over the place so i cut it down another 3 in , made worst ! had to lean into the wind more and wearing helmet was very bad kept blowing my glasses off . I bought a oversize windshield install a vent , Wow dif. bike ! my speed comfort zone picked up 15 mph , can now pass big trucks . went riding today , great ride until i slowed down below 45 mph and we are in a wind advisory today . I would like to know what other members think ? Thom

    My boss is a apple freak and sometimes at work i have to use his puter , he ask me why i don't like it and i told him , using a apple is like driving a car in England , I can do it but 1/2 the time i get in the car on the wrong side and i am not very good at driving on the other side of the road .

    Ya Rite ! I see us old farts trying to solder that stuff ! When I worked for Sprint , some young kid came in to my trailer and told me my welds where not good enough , and I would hand him a splice I had laying around , it was 2 pieces twisted together , super glued and it worked great :crackup:

    check the fuel pump , it will run on gravity until it needs more gas , like in higher gears or a load
  11. Thom
    try this , with key on , hold down the starter button , than flip the kill sw. on and off a few time , next ? do's your head lite go out when you hit the starter button ? check your clutch lever , kickstand sw . neutral lite on ?
  12. Thom
    Sounds like they are missing , 2 come stock on a 1st gen , rite and left just above the motor crash bars . mine are after market , in the pic you may be able to see it , it is under the driving lite . the notch in the chrome part below the side reflecter is where the horn mounts .
