    Red Neck!

    RedNeck Playstation http://majman.net/fly_loader.html couldnt help my self LOL
  2. I will be working at Ft Dix for a couple of weeks. I usually get the middle Saturday off for important stuff like riding, so was wondering if anyone was in this neck of the woods for grabbing some lunch or something.

  4. Seen a feller on an 08 RSV today at 5 pm pulling out of a Shell gas station on Lone Oak Road in Paducah, KY. If you visit this site, give me a shout. Ventures are very rare in my neck of the woods. Glenn
  5. Seems like no matter how old you are or how experienced you are, you always find out something new. I have been beating myself senseless trying to find a decent modular helmet that fits. I've tried just about everyone's models and no matter what, be it a "round" shape or "oval" shape, my chin is always against the chinbar and hard into my forehead. I've talked to many different companies with no help. Finally I called a small little ebay shop to ask about Cabergs. After chatting he told me that it doesn't really matter what "shape" your head is, the biggest issue for fitting is.... your neck. He says that a helmet is designed to fit into the crook of the back of your neck. If you are like me with no neck then no matter what you try, the fit is going to be off as the helmet isn't going to seat properly. So I can look for something that has a small or even no neck roll or modify one by trimming. I suppose everyone knew this already but something new to me after all this time.
  6. OK just because I'm a bit thick at times and this is one of those times, just what is happening with the tank when you vent the filler neck ? A cross section of the tank just might explain this to me but I can't find one. I like pictures.... Curious minds want to know..........
  7. If you are tired of not being able to completely fill the gas tank and having the bubbling air escaping from the tank blow gas all over the tank top, you can solve this by adding a few air vent holes to the tank filler neck. I had to put 4 fairly good sized holes in the front and right side. The process is simple - just use a punch awl and ball-peen hammer to make the holes, as shown in the picture. Here are a few more tips: NEVER NEVER NEVER drill! Not only will that dump metal shavings into the tank, but all electric drill motors create sparks! When you use a punch awl, just put the tip in contact with the filler neck and hit it enough times to make the hole as large as the awl shank (not just a little hole from the tip). You will need a MINIMUM for four large holes to make a big difference. I have seen a suggestion to use wax paper between the awl and the tank neck to reduce the chance of sparks - no idea if that provides any value at all, but it can't hurt. I personally think there is no real risk of sparks from using this method. I also suggest putting a thick towel or something over the tank near the awl head so you do not accidentally slip and mar the tank with the hammer. A dead blow hammer would be an excellent choice for this job - less chance of slippage, and they are all covered in plastic. Several folks have said to do this with a full tank - I disagree. If it is too full, the vibrations from the hammer blows will splash gas all over you. If you have to do it with a full tank, place a rag over the opening. I think that any level below the filler neck is probably OK. And some important information about filling your tank AFTER you do this mod: You now have a CHOICE how full to make it, and that choice is important. If you fill it all the way to the top and then park it in the sun while you go have lunch, the heat will cause the fuel to expand and run out the overflow hose into a big puddle under the bike! Even just the engine heat can cause this, so my recommendation is simple - if you are going to ride at least 10 miles right after filling it up, put as much in as you want. But if you are just around the corner from home, or planning to take a break before getting back on the road, either wait to gas up until after the break, or keep the fuel level down near the bottom of the filler neck.
