Went for a 4 hour ride from Port Rowan Ontario to Port Dover Ontario yesterday around 10am. Had coffee at Tim Horton's then rode home. Couldn't call it a Fall Ride as trees weren't turning color yet ! Got back a few hours before it rained.

Its been a few years since I have been here, Sorry Don, Life just kinda got in the way. Anyways. Back in 2016 I grabbed a screw driver and did a minor adjustment on my idle and the bike would never start again. Kinda caught me by surprise as the bike is so damn reliable its not funny. Let her sit. and tried to figure it out from time to time. I had done all the things we swear by here and just for the life of me could not get it. Finally broke down a month ago and tore into her. I found out a few things. 1. Seafoam is useless. Toss it. Get your self some BG44k. 2. Always use Stabil in every tank. The entire reasons why she stopped in evident in the pictures. I was hesitant to pull the carbs but it turned out easier to do then pulling the airboxes apart to get to the carbs. As you can see the water the ethanol absorbed player hell with the carbs. From now on every tank will get will bg44k and stabil . Two of the floats were frozen in the off position and I had to remove them with liquid wrench and a pair of needle nose pliers. .

@ Freebird ...My own network Server at home is build on Windows 7 , and I have tried Windows 10 ..My Server has 6 hard drives where I keep Windows 10 ...Windows 11 info , Myself I prefer Linux (Ubuntu 20 ) ...I have too much money invested ( $3500.00 ) in my server to run Windows 7 and devices to make the change to Windows 10 or Windows 11 ...For me there there is no benefit to run Windows 10 or Windows 11 on the smaller devices .. ..I know the Windows insider program wants service guys to run the updated Windows ....But I am moving away from the Computer Service Industry ... Let some one else have the headache .. At 75 years I prefer to spend my time on my 83 Venture riding down the road ..

I recently bought a new HP computer because my old Toshiba Satellite is about 10 yrs old and has a few issues. The new one came with Windows 10 but when I booted it, I was given the option of upgrading to Windows 11. I chose not to for now. I only use my computer for the forums and watching youtube videos mostly and paying bills on line. I do enjoy watching historical videos and auto/truck/motorcycle mechanic videos since I've been a shadetree mechanic all of my life.

I seldom use Windows. I moved to Mac several years ago and couldn't be happier. That being said, I do have a Microsoft Surface that I have to use for some special software that I use to measure curved stairlifts. It's running Windows 10 and I haven't even looked to see if the update is available.
