You gotta wonder what makes em tick.

Now my dear @cowpuc , you know of course, that I was in training to compete with @Marcarl in the napping competition of the VR Olympics. I have heard that he is unbeatable in the U-turning segment but vulnerable in the napping part! And I will surely pray for Tip. She has done above and beyond any mere mortal!

LOL ya lop eared Preacher varmint @PastorCurt.. Here is some inside info that may help ya get back to snoozing after saying a short prayer for Tippy (my wife of 42 years next month) cause its kind of sad.. The story you read above is, as all my stories are,, TRUE, real things that actually happened. Can you imagine what my precious GOD LOVING wife has put up with thru the years? Now say a quick prayer for my bride and go back to tender slumber brother.. LOL

True as that may be, good luck having a cop actually witness this behavior.

I need a breather box and pipes

Hard to believe a gentleman like you Puc would do something like that. .....Wait I minute ...N0w that I think of it...I don't remember you being a gentleman you crazy old coot

Whats to explain ?.......................

Are you sure or do you just not remember being there. where ever there was Maybe it was there somewhere in between the U turns! Somewhere

you left that door wide open Joe, would you like to explain or shale we exaggerate or elaborate!

Another possible source of leaking oil is from the shifter shaft going into the transmission. It is not a difficult fix and is due to a failed "O" ring.

There is a write up in the read only/electrical section for installing a tach. @Carbon_One advised before on one he had purchased off ebay (I got that one but 10 years ago). Baron's is mentioned as having a lot of bounce. The one Larry advised on is stable. Issue to keep in mind of is the spark fires twice...one is a waste burn.

In my opinion, the HARM is the fact that with the crankcase overfilled, if you do have a float sticking in a Carb; you would never be able to detect it because the window is already overfilled with oil. If one day the sight glass is in the middle with oil, and a week later the sight glass is full, then according to Marcarl, there is half a quart of gas in your oil! Risky business, if you ask me. Crack the drain plug into a clean container, refill the crankcase to the proper level, and sleep better at night! Also keep in mind that "newbees" with their first Venture read these posts also! Let's not steer them down the wrong path. WOW! I feel like I am channeling the Pucster!! Hey Michael, I'm not trying to be a dick here, but I would hate to see you end up with an 800 pound paperweight because you scalded the bearings out of that motor because you didn't take 15 minutes and correct a simple mistake! I have a bike in the shop right now that the little brass washer on the middle gear cover was removed, and not replaced and the engine ran out of oil which caused the motor to seize up!! Now this bike is a "Parts Bike" as a result. Simple oversight, causing catastrophic results. If I didn't love ya' brother, I wouldn't say a word! Earl

My only experience with TPMS is with a 2013 Ford Focus rental car that warned me of a tire being low at 30psig. And my wife's 2013 Infiniti gave her a warning when one of her tires got down to 30psig. So, they worked okay in those two instances. It's hard to check the rear tire on a RSV so a TPMS on that would be convenient for sure. I've never had a vehicle with TPMS. My truck is 20 years old and my car is 17 years old. And I love my old clunkers! 2002 F150 4x4 and a hemi powered 2005 Dodge Magnum.

What flew away

3 hours later and they revised the forecast. Nice job to have....constantly changing your answer, being wrong most of the time (long range forecasts)...

I ALWAYS enjoyed lane spitting back when I chewed tobacco. Get er up to 100 mph, stick my naked head out into the wind, turn my head so my ears didnt fill up with spit and let er rip. It was a whole lot better than swallowing the stuff which always gave me heartburn. One time, back in the 1970's when I was Tigging tube (thought ya had me didnt ya @flyday58, thought I was gonna say tigging pipe didnt you?) for the Boilermakers I was up at 290 feet in the Power House tigging a wall of Super Heaters and had a mouth full of Days O' Work chew and had to spit. There are no lanes when your up there, just you, your "Pimp" (helper who does all the leg work like fitting walls for you), a Tig torch and a gorgeous view of the boiler activity below. I saw no one below so I let er go.. That great big wad of spit headed down and instantly filled with air and took on the shape of a tobacco chew spit umbrella. The umbrella moved from side to side in "the hole" below as I and my pimp watched it in amazement.. It suddenly caught an updraft and headed toward the boiler walls below us and disappeared into the east wall at about 140 feet down. I looked at my pimp and we both starting laughing and laughed until we heard a crew of Iron Workers down there scream "Stop spitting!!!". Back to work.. The end.

Looks like the piece that goes under the wires in the neck of the bike just below the rear tank mount.

Not a chance I’m doing it here, they’ll try to wreck you. I got absolutely cussed out by a woman last week for stopping with my front wheel beside her rear bumper leaving me an escape route if the truck behind me didn’t stop. You’d have thought I ran over her dog or something.
