The Blinkers don't Blink:bang head: and the Flasher don't Flash But the pistons are still singing rock and Roll :guitarist 2::guitarist 2: Dragonslayer :15_8_211[1]:sings bass and Honey :15_9_28[1]:sings tenor:happy65: and rest of the pack :dancefool::dancefool::cool10::cool10: just joins right in there:group cheers: -
I discovered the other day that my left side blinkers weren't blinking, Checked the bulbs front and back which were good. Then discovered that lead (black & Brown) to left rear blinker had been pinched and shorted. I repaired the lead, checked and replaced fuses as needed. Now niether side blinks and no rear lights other then tail light. Front running lights are on but neither blinks, Nor does the blinker indicators on the dash. The hazard switch doesn't seem to do any thing. But it reads ok when doing pin out test. I thought that since I've been caught in several rides lately in the rain that moisture and/or corrosion might be a factor. :lightbulb:oh yea!. Wasn't that the problem that someone else was having on the North Ga 2nd Annual M&E that was covered in detail on that thread last week? :scratchchin:The problem did show up after I trusted 86ers weather report for that ride. Note to self: Go back and reread that thread. I Have taken turn signal switch apart, cleaned and reassembled. I believe I have narrowed it down to the signal flasher relay and/or Canceling unit but am not sure exactly which device is which. Tracing out color coded wiring it appears to me that both devices are combined together within the same little Black box. Is that possible?

Great Job Kenny, I knew it could be done. I wonder if those earlier Naysayers are eating humble pie. lol

Hey thats what i thought too.

Rosebud, you are so very right and your signature says it profoundly. In my lifetime I have been blessed on so many occassions to have been granted the priveledge and opportunity to witness first hand many of the wonders of God's creation. None of which would have been possible had he not given me the gift of sight or if I choose to have kept my eyes closed. Good luck on the detour.

Oh yea, I forgot about that in your case you may need the box. I don't recall any specific rules stating you had to actually be riding the bike. If it were up to me I would tend to award "A" for effort providing that you were photographed with a large enough piece of your bike to establish without doubt that it was your bike and that you followed the nature and intent of the game to the best of your ability considering the current condition of your ride. That's just me and not wishing to exclude you as a fellow member. But we may need to ask for a ruling in your case from a higher authority than me. Does anybody know if there is a higher authority to referee the rules. Maybe Freebird or the original thread starter?

When I was a little boy and would make up excuses why I couldn't do whatever I was being asked to do my mother's favorite retort was: Can't never could do anything, just think about it.

Hey Your getting warm, at least you got the lid off the box and are trying to play. I would accept enough of you, your bike and a live Giraffe in the photo to be able to determine it is you, your bike and a live giraffe. But if you get a little further out of the box you might find a way to be granted access so that you can get all of you, your bike and the Giraffe in the photo. Think of how you might pitch the Zoo Keeper to get him on your side so that you can get you and your bike inside his Zoo. PS. The Giraffe may need to be bribed as well carry some carrots in your pocket.

Sometimes, permission is easier than forgiveness. Perhaps if you sought permission from the authorities they would be less likely to cop an attitude about your unauthorized access and forgo the need for having you placed under arrest and your bike impounded. Give it a shot , what can it hurt.

Cinderella, I'm surprised at your ineffective approach by attacking the problem with your forehead against a brick wall. Weren't you the one that went to the Prince's ball riding in a pumpkin pulled by rats that had been turned into horse's and then dance with the prince all night long backwards and in glass slippers. And correct me if I'm wrong but didn't you end up marrying the prince when the whole village thought you the least likely to be chosen. Now i'm just a Dragonslayer, but I thought for sure you would find a magical way to solve this problem. Maybe if you consulted your Fairy God Mother she might assist you with her magic wand. Keep trying I believe in you and in magic. AtlantaDragonSlayer

OK, I agree that my target may require a little more effort than the previouse targets so far. It is also not my intention by the choice of this target to make it so difficult as to kill the game. My choice was selected with the intent of making the game more interesting by making it a little more challenging. In my perspective, I felt that the fun of the game, was in large part, added incentive to get the scoot out of the garage and enjoy spring time riding with a goal and a destination in mind. The fact that this target may require a little more effort in forethought, research and planning was by design. But by no means impossible regardless of your geographical location. The target, Purposely selected to be more of a challenge was due to the realization that so far, in my case, at least one of every one of the targets can be located and photographed within a three mile radius of my driveway. Some of the targets there are multiple examples within that distance. In Fact, at this moment I can walk outside to the driveway and take a picture of a Giraffe within three feet of where my bike is parked at now, without cranking the bike and going anywhere. But that was too easy where's the fun in that. The fact that that Giraffe is only three foot tall and made of concrete prompted me to add the word live to the criteria. I did not select this target at random to stump the band and did actually some research and homework before posting Giraffes as the next target. With the help of my housemate, who in a past life and career was one of the foremost exotic animal handelers in the United States and had placed, handeled or transported 90 % of the live Giraffes in the lower 48 and can recite by memory the sex, age, name, temperment and exact location of every one of them. But to post that information would defeat the challenge intended. Statiscally, even though there may not be one located on your block, or maybe not even in the geographical confines of your home town. If you reside in one of the 48 lower continental United States and Hawaii there is at least one living in your home state. Alaska and the provinces of Canada may be more of a challenge because of Climate considerations. However, still not impossible considering the quallifying criteria, or the logistical restraints if you consider the problem with a little imagination and think outside of the box. The US state with the highest number of Giraffes is home for 35 or more of the critters. With all of that said, and in the spirit of the fun of the game and as to not kill the game, upon the request or concensus of opinion as to the validity or fairness of my target selection I will respectfully and cheerfully withdraw my target, select an easier new target, or pass. Whatever the concensus deems appropiate. Maybe a thread pole to determine the concensus of opinion may be a fair way to decide what best fits the nature and spirit of the game. Regardless, I sincerely apologize if my participation made the game more complicated or less fun in any way, That certainly was not my intent. Bob, AtlantaDragonSlayer

Everything you need to know to complete your mission is covered by the following hints: Necessity is the mother of invention Imagination is the bridge between here and there If there is a will there is a way If you fail to plan you plan to fail Every adventure begins with the first step To follow your dream point your nose in that direction, then follow your nose Walking ain't crowded, but riding is more fun. It's not the destination it's the journey Can't never could do anything Life is fleeting so don't forget your camara You don't need to know everything as long as you know how to find out what you need to know I don't know what I know, but, I know what I don't know Do not attempt to use motorcycle as ocean going vehicle There are Giraffes on the North American Continent

Its really there it was hard to get a good angle on the boat since it was in motion circling the Lake at Stone Mountain Park Stone Mountain Ga. For good measure I went ahead and thru in pictures of a covered Bridge and Historical Monument The carving on the side of the mountain I would have included a cactus but the batteries died in the camera. All of which were at the same place. come to think of it I could have done a caboose too, But, Been that done that.

Please forgive the ignorant but, this thread is the first I've heard of Bub exhaust could someone refer me to a site or source so i can check out what yall are talking about, as much as I love the Vr performance I'd like to lose the sewing machine stock exhaust sound for something with a little more vibrato sound.

I want to thank everyone that helped me solve my carb problem. It was because of your help that I did make it Daytona Thursday morning just in time to catch the sunrise over the ocean . The bike ran great and other than a few adjustments along the I way, flat tire on the trailer, and a minor oil leak, I was well pleased with the dramatically improved performance of the new motor. It was a tough choice but I selected Mbrood as the winner for his timely suggestion and advice that most helped me to diagnos and fix my leaky carbs problem. Thanks alot Mbrood and all of you that really helped out.

Maybe I should let mine soak in the parts cleaning sink for awhile.

Ever since the 150 mph combined impact headon collision 36 years ago.

When in doubt, reread the game cleaning in the kitchen story. I had bats in my attic once and the only thing that worked to get rid of them was a 410 shot gun, blew the gable vent out of the end of the attic. She was not pleased, I had to remind her that she was the one that gave me the Ultimatum, "Those bats go or I do" By the way I finally made to Daytona this morning at daylight. Interesting ride. Last 200 miles in the rain flat tire in Savannah at midnight, But, just another adventure.
