I am getting into scramble mode packing. I don't know if I'll have time to add holes. You can always add your own hole when you get home.

Here is my planned route. http://mapq.st/19GrZJN I am planning one more stop halfway between "D" and "E" It is the first rest stop in Ohio at the 20.8 mile marker, but it will not let me add it to the route. I am not sure what the route will be from Toledo to Dons once we meet up, as long as it has a gas stop near Dons. Stop "F" on the map is where I topped off last year and it worked well for me. I'll call you at the last stop before the restaurant to let you know what our progress is.

I will pack my remaining inventory of Valve Shim tools to sell at MD. http://www.venturerider.org/classifieds/showproduct.php?product=4475&title=valve-shim-tool&cat=10 and http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=55831 Once these are gone I do not intend to make another run unless there is sufficient demand to cover the cost.

They all come with a few scratches already, that way you wont have to feel bad. After all I am digging them out of a scrap barrel.

Any new device that makes a sound the deer have not heard before will work till the deer get to know it. Once it becomes a normal sound when they are near the road then it is normal and will no longer have any effect on them. The sound of your vehicle does not bother them alongside of the road because they hear it all the time. But when I drive deep into the woods where deer do not know the sound of an engine as an everyday sound, the scatter like cockroaches when the lights come on. I am sure that the cheap air powered whistles worked for a while when they first came out, now that they are everywhere, it is just another normal sound that cars make. so a lot depends on just what sound this new device makes and is it different enough from the other noises that they are already used to.

I will be near the Rum Balls........ HA! another quest for you all to chase down..... I just scored another 10 plates. I'm gonna hafta pack these careful, this is now over 20 lbs of Stainless that will be bouncing its way to Ohio.......
-
Once again at MD I will have a supply of free plates to put under your side stand when parked on a soft surface. There may be a few bikes parked on the grass at MD. The plates are polished Stainless Steel about 4.125" diameter x 5" long, with 2 tabs . All you have to do is to find me and introduce yourself and ask for one. I have about 30 to give away to those that need or want one.

It is better to save the money for a deer hunting license and an appropriate firearm. Deer that are in your freezer or in the frying pan are unable to jump in front of anyone or to reproduce to make more road hazards. But since you brought up deer. Its that time of year when the moms are giving birth to the new crop of deer and last years young are being kicked out of home. There are young deer running around that are in unfamiliar territory and may not know how to cross the street.

Thats OK, you can have it, I like the 50s we have here.

Are we being gouged? And lets not make this political...
Flyinfool replied to 1BigDog's topic in Watering Hole
It is not based on a fixed price difference between grades. Back when gas was $2.00 there was a $0.10 difference between grades. Now that gas is $4.00 there is a $.20 difference between grades. WAY back when gas was $1.00, there was a $.05 difference between grades. See the pattern yet? In all cases it is a 5% difference in price per grade. So as the price continues to rise the difference will continue to grow. Now as to why the price of gas just jumped $0.25 overnight. Because they can, and since all brands jump the same amount at the same time proves that there is no price fixing. Cuz we all know that price fixing is illegal. -
LED tail light problem
Flyinfool replied to Wizard765's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
:sign yeah that: You have to jumper both the tail and brake light circuit if you go LED tail lights. As long as you are in there, if you have any intention of ever converting the headlight to HID (highly recommended) then just jumper all of the reed switches. -

People have been known to fix small holes in the diaphragms with either RTV or liquid electrical tape. this is just a temporary fix. -
How about an up close and personal chance to meet the pond monster...... .......assuming that the pond monster is home at the time.

Just what line 2 says. It is almost impossible to initiate a turn without counter steering. Everyone does it, most do not realize that they do it. Drive thru a wet spot on the pavement. Once you get onto dry pavement start a turn. Now go back and look at your tire tracks that you just made. You will see that the front wheel first went to the right to start a left hand turn, or to the left to start a right hand turn. This is counter steering. Now try to make that turn so that the tire tracks do not show counter steering. Get your $5 dropped bike donation ready. If you just turn the bars to the right and hold them there, you will instantly fall over to the left. What his point is. Once you learn what counter steering is, you will be able to initiate that emergency turn quicker by not waiting for you brain to have to process all of the steps. Every split second counts in an emergency maneuver.

It made sense to me...... What part has you cornfused?

If you want a real hoot, go to Google earth and get driving directions from Annies to MD.

Holy Rat-Feathers!!!
Flyinfool replied to Condor's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
What Pete said, sort of. If the positive got hot and the neg did not, 99% chance that there was a bad connection at the positive terminal. Could be either corrosion or loose. Don't forget the possibility of there being a bad connection between the cable and the terminal. -
87 most of the time. If available ethanol free in whatever grade its in. I tried 93 for a full year, I did get better mileage, but not by enough to justify the cost. When traveling with the trailer, I use the 93 just for the better mileage and to heck with the $$$, I'm on vacation.

Misfire and Tachometer dropping...

It is common to find water inside of the TCI. For some reason there is a hole in the case to let water in but not out. If it is moisture causing the problem sometimes they can be dried out and saved. Once damage is done it is to late to do the diodes.
