Lots of fun finally being out in the fresh air and sunshine!! CAN NOT WAIT TO SEE, SMELL, TASTE and BREATH the deserts and mountains again = YEEEEE HAWWW!!!

Yep,, here in the humidity its gotta be air conditioning - part of the cooling process of conditioning the air is the removal the humidity.. Out in the dry regions adding moisture to the air is manditory... Had a friend who I helped move from California to here.. While I was out there with the Semi picking up some of his families belongings he had me stop and pick up a great big swamp cooler for his new garage back here in Michigan.. I tried to explain,, didnt work,, had to do it his way... Sure didnt take long for the ways in the bed of his lathe to completely rust over... TOTALLY AWESOME job there David:clap2:!!!!!! I ever get to the part of my bucket list where it reads "enough with this snow already - MOVE WEST PUC" I may have to call on you brother for some swamp cooler :thumbsup:mentoring!!

GREAT write up Vaz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU!! Bet we wouldn't here no whining from club members if @Freebird decided to "pin" that list somewhere,, maybe in the Tech Section:missingtooth:.. I am always looking for this kind of stuff to share with others when they ask about problems and to solve issues of my own.. LOTS of good points there David!!

Got that right,, that Tippy = she is a keeper!!! Sometimes I wonder how on earth a precious lady like that one ever ended up permanently attached to the back of my scoot but hey,,,, I'm not one to turn down a blessing when God is passing em out You do Sedona,, dont miss out on this one!! I hit that mountain top town every time I pass thru that area - GORGEOUS!!!

My worst of the worst has been Metz.. First they feather and even viberate noticably as they sing in the corners.. Then they start tossing chunks of rubber especially if your riding on hot tarmac..

My known good one is out on loan right now Snype - hope you guys can get that puppy up and running!!!

Yep,, right there with Bongo,,, I know on the MK1's that puppy is on the "firewall" right above the headlight on the right hand side if you are facing the headlight.. You can access it fairly easy by pulling the headlight cover and headlight - its either the first or second relay from the right in those little rubber holders..

BEEEEE-UUUUUUUU-TEEEEE-FULLL pics = Thanks you guys!!! @zagger are you running an open forward bevel box on that puppy?? Nahhh,, cant be,, gotta be a see thru cover on it??? That Frankenstien of yours is my kind of scoot!! If I owned that puppy - Franky and I would have allllll kinds of fun on Main Street of Sturgis at 4 a.m... :banana::guitarist 2::guitarist 2::guitarist 2::guitarist 2: Definitely pure American imagineering and creative ingenuity sitting right there I tell ya GOOD JOB BROTHER!

Had one once that liked to loose air in the rear shock.. If I wasnt careful to park it in a decent lean it would tip over.. LOL,,, this all brings back memories of another one,,,, parked on the slab outside the garage - tossed a cover on her - took the Van to work cause the weather looked pretty nasty - came home from work to find my 1st Gen almost upside down - the wind tried to steal that one...

Nope,, no TPS on the 1st Gens,,,, at least on the MK1's = not sure on the MK2's cause I never worked on one... Many years I played around a LOT with vacuum gauges mounted in my cars.. Those great big steering colum mounted gauges were not only cool looking but VERY functional for keeping up a good fuel sip.. Keeping up a steady high vac was a way to really stretch those scarce fuel pennies back when I was a kid...

Not me,, I aint skeerd of these lop eared varmints even though I LOVE Harleys!!! Those great big 45 degree 2 valve V-Twins have ALWAYS sang my kind of song!!!

Ohhh man,,,,,,, been trying to get things taken care of around here so Tip, Tweeks and I can head west.. Looking good for a mid week depart next week,, RATSSSSSSS,, would have LOVED to hit the Northern border on the way out to Celebrate with my Canadian brothers - would have been a BLAST!! Oh well,, cant have everything I reckon,, but cha can try!! Regardless of my own selfish desires not being fulfilled,,,,,,, HAPPY 150TH OH CANADA!!! THANK YOU FOR BEING THE BEST OF THE BEST NEIGHBORS POSSIBLE!! EH!!

Prayers Up brother!!!! Hope they get er taken care of and get cha right back on your feet real soon Bob!! That gettin cut on aint never fun but a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do!! Thinking of and praying for you my friend!! Puc

Some kind of secret Pirates code or something - I get nuttin when I click on it but something about probably not being welcome..

Bum rap brother = hope ya git ol Charlie back at it soon,,, its ride time Kev!!! Tip, Tweeksis and I are rootin for another west coaster real soon - cant wait to smell the desert smells again - howl with the Coyotes on the back of the badlands and chase the sunsets in the mountains,, been wayyy to long with all this goofy medical stuff and all.. '14 was the last trip to "1" - wow,, has it been that long - aint felt good for a long time I reckon.. Did weasel out a Sturgis rally in '15 - fun but hard cause of not feeling the best.. Besides a tuner for my ticker they yanked a grapefruit sized hunk of cancer out of my abdomen back in Jan.. Took my prostate, part of my bladder,, hunk of my ureeter - still wearing a diaper but hey,, better than pushing up daisys.. Thinkin they put a whoopin on that nasty stuff cause I been steadily feeling better, good enough to ride I hope AND, get this,, getting to play with my brand spanking new grand son - KIDS A RIOT!!!! Getting to be good friends with my Cancer Doctor buddy.. He's and avid hunter = outdoors men.. Good fit cause we got talking about "bucklist time".. Shooting straight - he said he would if he was me.. Looked at Tip, smiled and said "R1 time".. Ever ride one? WOW!!! Only 1000cc but WOWZY WOW WOW WOW.. It'll break 100 in 1st gear and still loft the front end when the exhaust valve opens at 7500 R's in 3rd :happy65: Named her "Maggie" after the "Magnum" roller coaster down at Cedar Point that my kids and I LOVED riding thru the years (will include a pic of my son and I later in life on that puppy)... An amazingly precise piece of astounding Yamaha technology to say the least.. I hear a lot of giggling going on in the garage at night = Maggie and Tweeksis get along REAL well!! Good to hear from ya Kev,, been to long!! Get Charlie fired up, head west and maybe our paths will cross = Hot Dogs on me if ya do!!

***Previous Governor Jennifer Granholm of the State of Michigan after giving away thousands of jobs and trying to sell her new socialist economic ideas to her constituents: "You just wait 5 years - your gonna be blown away by Michigans economic recovery" = been 10 years,, still waiting,,, and waiting,,, and waitinggg.. ***Rainbow Vacuum Cleaner salesman standing in Pucs garage while Tippy is inside doing laundry: "Any idea when the lady of the house would be available for me to show her this new $1400 vacuum cleaner" ***Puc and his child walking thru the store.. His kid see's a dollar bill on the store floor,, bends down to pick it up and the dollar bill moves away from him.. Puc hears teenagers laughing behind clothing rack and notices the fish line attached to the dollar bill leads to the clothing rack where the teens are hiding. Puc walks around isle, crosses between clothing, steps on fish line - can feel line pulling under his foot,, his child picks up dollar bill and Puc snaps it free of fish line and gives it to his kid.. Teenagers did not appreciate paying a dollar to see Pucs weird sense of humor..

Indeed brother - THAT is sooooo gorgeous out there - a couple of best friends on a beat up old motorcycle could easily ride off into the sunset and get lost in their dreams while singing some old cowboy songs out there for sure.. DEFINITELY,, as you say,, BREATHTAKING!! Ol Tweeks had just over 300k at that point.. Her speedo died in Dennison Texas a couple weeks before we got there at just under 300k - before we scooted down to Big Bend.. Poor thing finally gave up the ghost.. Was kind of a God send though as my wife - Tippy - had caught me and Tweeks duking it out with a sport bike before it broke at speeds in the triple digits with her on the back and she put her foot down to speed limit us at 100 mph.. After the speedo broke - I had to guess our speed all the time - she never caught on to the fact that I was using the tach as a speedo,,,, Tweeks and I went right back to our normal "open range" antics after it broke .. Later in that trip, before we reached the VR Rally in The Dalles Oregon, Tweeks fuel gauge decided to go on a vacation of its own like the speedo did earlier which left me guessing on fuel consumption.. Ran out of gas twice after that - once on "99" just short of Elk Grove California - ended up pushing the bike up the exit ramp to a gas station. Next time was just short of Chamberlin South Dakota - that one was a little longer push - about a 1/4 mile... Tippy put her foot down with that one and made me pick up another gas can to carry (had given my other one to my grand son in California before we lost the fuel gauge).. To the day Tip gets really nervous when the fuel light on the bike comes on,, I think the combination of pushing a 900 pound bike in the heat and having people stare at her while she was doing it changed her for ever - still an amazing best friend BUT definitely jittery around empty fuel tanks on motorcycles she is gonna be riding cross country on.. Wanna see another spot that I absolutely LOVE and have on my bucklist to cross someday on a bike? If so,, here ya go = if you camp out on this white stuff and lay still and flat on the earth under you, I swear you can feel the earth breathing,, sounds crazy but amazingly true - we Americans have been endlessly blessed I tell ya:

Play this video from :39 to :46 and you can clearly hear the typical clutch whine people talk about.. Definitely agree with the tire whine thoughts!!

I get between 30 and 43 MPG depending on how much I roll the spurs into her sides.. Tweeksis likes to have her reigns and stretch er legs - our average MPG is closer to 30 then 43 PS - @Carbon_One - Larry if your reading this - WOW is having 2nd Gear and a good clutch FUN!!! Ready - IMHO = +50 mpg sounds excellent!! Sounds like she's hitting on four and loving every minute of it!!
