Serious cornering questions tips for an experienced Rider
Flyinfool replied to muaymendez1's topic in Safety and Education
I have found that my "fear" in the corners is the not knowing if there is gravel or some other hazard in the curve. I had a close call with gravel once and it was very scary to have over 1000 pounds sliding sideways in a curve. I never went thru the dirt bike phase growing up to have that instinct built in on how to handle loose conditions. I have found that IF I just rode that curve VERY recently to have some assurance that there is no hazard I will take that curve a lot faster. I will have to get a clutch ordered to go and take the advanced riding course. I have read about to many that wore out a clutch during a course. -
It is starting to sound like I need to start carrying a tripod too now. Shhesh!

I hate people with all of that artistic talent. Only because I have NO artistic ability, and I'm jealous. I guess you have a road/sea trip in your future???? Just go to google earth and get directions, it will tell you how to drive there.......

Go out in the back yard and hump some concrete. There will be plenty of incentive to not quit till it is done once the truck shows up.

What Rstacy said. To get the link you have to first go to the weather underground and get to the page where you are viewing the weather for the station that you want to use. At the top of the page, just to the right of center is a link "Make this Location a Weather Sticker" Click on this link and pick the way you want to display the weather. Copy the URL like Rstacy said. If you want to use the data from your own weather station you must first make your weather station available on weather underground.

I really do not want to know what I spend on gas. I have the truck and the bike, Since I am a fair weather rider the truck gets used a lot. Erika has a Mountaineer that really gets lousy mileage11-12 city and 13-14 hwy. My truck is twice the size and a much bigger engine and gets 18 hwy and 16 city. The bike gets 40 no matter where or how I ride. I still do not want to know what I spend on gas.

Couple questions

This is my daily driver (when not on the bike) and my blasting thru the woods and towing the RV truck. I do plan to keep it for a long while. I drove the newer trucks and I just don't like them. This truck is barely broke in at just under 300K miles. It is a lot cheaper to spend a couple of hundred $$ a couple of times a year to replace worn parts than to make payments on something newer. That is kind of what I found out. I tried duct tape, it peeled off in the first snow storm and the hole filled with salty snow slush. I tried the aluminum foil duct tape, no better than the grey stuff. I tried gorilla tape, that at least lasted almost a year but winter still did it in. I have one hole covered with a piece of galvanized steel cut from a heat duct and held on with pop rivets, that has lasted for 3 years now but I can see the original cancer is now creeping out around the edges of it and there is nothing left for the pop rivets to hold onto. I tried rustolium rusty metal primer followed by rustolium paint and I think that only slowed it down by a month or so. I was surprised that the red rustolium was almost a perfect color match to the truck. The holes are big enough already to give me some access to the inside, but I am not sure what to put in there to kill the rust. lots of places sell stuff that is supposed to work but is not much more than snake oil. I just want to not have body panels flying in the wind or falling off while going down the road. It is to cold now to do anything but I will have to do something this spring before it gets totally out of control. I do have a MIG and Oxy/acetylene to work with. TIG is still just on the wish list. I will look into those replacement panels. The part that I dont understand is how do you weld a new panel on to a closed area and not burn off any rust protection that is on the inside? or how do you protect that fresh weld from rusting its way out again?

My trailer is stood on end and then using the safety chain it is locked to an eye bolt on the shed. It will not stop someone that is serious about stealing it but it will at least slow them dow a little or even stop the casual thief. Its main reason is to be sure that the wind or a neighbor child can not tip it over. I also keep a hitch ball that was cut off just below the ball in the coupler and a good trailer lock on the coupler to stop those that will drop a locked coupler onto a bolt head to get the trailer home to where they can work on the lock with proper tools. My RV is stored on 4 jack stands with no wheels on it. The wheels are kept indoors out of the sun and weather. makes it hard to steal without a flatbed tow truck.
