So you just need to add some leaf patterns to get a nice camo finish.......

Even though it has been sitting in a warehouse collecting dust for all these years, there are parts of a car that will hold up better being used regularly. Expect issues with seals, tires, old fluids, etc. but then if the price is rite, by all means go for it. You can always repaint the ugly color.

When you lay a 1st gen down it does not stop at the bars, it will go all the way down so the corner of the plastic faring by the mirror is on the ground. But that position would make tire removal not to bad. You would have to break the axle nut loose then lay it on the left side.

Hmmmmm...... Now I seem to have a fuel problem. It seems I need to fill the tank every day on my way to work and some times again on the way home from work. Don't have a clue what the problem might be. In the last 2 weeks I have gotten all but one digit in the odometer to move. Hmmm...... Its a 42 mile round trip to work, somehow 2 weeks of that with a 4 days off to take the truck off roading and a couple of rain days, has put 1200 miles on the bike. What might the problem be?

Nooooooo.......... Its to soon. I just got my bike out of winter storage, from LAST winter. I will park it when the first load of salt hits the roads. Which in Wisconsin could be any day now......

I have seen people lace the spare key into their riding boots, odds are you will not go to far with out them, and the spare is probably even more secure than if it was in your pocket.

Believe it or not, even with all of the info on this site, some people still manage to come up with stuff that no one here ever heard of before, its rare to find a new one, but we have always figured it out eventually. A good challenge is always fun. Especially if I aint paying the bill....... Some people trouble shoot by throwing money at the problem till it goes away, and others want to find and isolate the issue, its cause and needed fix. Many times it can be fixed faster by guessing and tossing money at it but at a much higher cost. Finding the real problem usually takes longer but ends up costing less. Pick your poison.

Would I do a thing like that??????

About to get swept out of the race like some old debris in the corner.

Lucky you, We will be getting warm snow.

I have Gas, stick and MIG. TIG is still on the shopping list, but I have THE one picked out, just need $2K to snag it and the required consumables.

Hmmmmm Seems I will need gas to get to work tomorrow mornin.

It is normal to see 12V on both horn wires. The Horn is wired hot. The horn switch supplies the ground for the circuit. Pull the 2 wires off the horn, now only on of them will have 12V, connect the one that is still hot back onto the horn. Ground the other terminal of the horn and it should blow. Your compressor should be hooked up thru a relay, the horn switch can not handle that many amps for long.

Let no good deed go unpunished.......... I would weld it for ya if ya bring it over here.......

My little Chinese guy is not allowed to take breaks. He is always working. If you go to "settings" top right corner of screen. Then "General Settings" in bar on left of screen. There is a section for your preferences for PMs.

That is exactly how some compasses are set up to work. You see the E because you are headed east. Aviation compasses are set up the same way. Take your compass and walk in a circle while holding the compass in front of you at near eye level. You will always see the direction you are headed. Yes in reality it means the W is pointed east. but you are not supposed to look down on it.

2 weeks ago was the last time I got a PM. It popped up in front of me just like always.

A magnet is a magnet, cheap or expensive they all work the same. Some of the really expensive ones like used on aircraft have the ability to adjust where north is to account for the magnetic field of the vehicle.

It was only some bikers...........

Usually bad solder is the E4 code, But others are possible. I don't have any class so I do not know the codes.

I did, Its called a MIG welder......... But I am afeared that they also have a cutting torch up there. Well Maybe it will slow them down a bit. at least the door stayed closed this week....... I was worried about your saltwater idea, what if they opened the door before the hinges rusted solid and then the hinges froze with the door open?????? Just to risky for me.......

There are places where driving the speed limit is close to commuting suicide. In Chicago, traffic flows is at 20 over. If you go the speed limit there you will be followed at a distance of 3 inches in front of your back bumper.

For "not being cleaned up yet" that is a whole lot cleaner than my bike. I would try a can of Seafoam in a fresh tank of gas and see how it runs. If it runs good enough to ride it, then run that tank thru it. You may not have to pull the carbs. There are several issues with the starter and hot starts. Being sure that all connections at BOTH ends of the wires are clean, is critical. Not just the terminal faces but check for corrosion where the terminal is crimped to the wire. Also be sure the surface where the starter bolts to the engine is clean, this is your ground path. Doing the ground wire mod to your starter will help. Upgrading all 3 power and ground cables to 4 AWG welding cable will help. Putting in a 4 brush starter from the newer bikes will help a lot. Doing any one of these things will make it better, doing all of this is the final answer. I cant help much with the other stuff since I do not have a Royal.

Funny you should mention the afternoon off, I just got done warning the cafeteria that I am leaving work at noon........ Yes I rode the bike to work today. I have dark glasses on and a full tank of gas, but it is not dark out......... @cowpuc, since I have not been riding all summer I have had a lot of time to play with technology. So far my modifications that I made to @saddlebums back door while I was up in the UP last week, are holding. I know he is pretty stubborn and will figure out a way to get that door back open yet, and you just know what I can not resist when those Canuks send that cold air pouring down here. And then there is all this new technology that I have to play with. And that Snowpercharger from last year is all polished up and oiled up purring like a fine swiss watch, and ready to play.

I can honestly say I have never passed on a yellow line. I have never passed more than one vehicle at a time. I do often "slightly" exceed the speed limit during the pass, in the interest of a quick pass for safety reasons of course.
