No, we are having the mildest winter that I can remember. We have had a total of 7.5 inches of snow from the last 10 "storms" combined, and 6 inches of that was all from one day. By this time of year we should be sneaking up on 2 feet of snow for the season. We just missed setting the record for the latest 1 inch snow fall. We are also averaging more than 10°F above normal for the winter. I like winter except for when we get real cold. Tonight we are supposed to get down to 3°F. In my book that is COLD and I do not like it that cold. I'll keep the snow but I am gonna send you the cold part.......

The banks do make mistakes and deposit money sometimes, but when that happens most people keep quiet and say nothing, so you never hear about it.

Leo I'll be sure and send some weather your way.......... I don't mind SNOW, I actually like driving in SNOW. It is the single digit and minus temps that I really have no use for. My poor truck needs new shoes and a new battery. I was trying to squeeze out one more winter. If I can squeeze thru winter then summer is a breeze.

LEDs, lots of LEDs. Everywhere.

I sometimes wonder if people fixate on the single point of light that is a MC headlight and then go where they look. All of my life I have worked on not going where I look in anything that I drive. I have practiced looking at the source of danger while driving away from it. While taking flying lessons my instructor commented that I was the first student that he ever had that could look at something over my left shoulder and continue to fly in a straight line. Most people will look left and turn or at least drift left.

I thinks you have that bass ackwards. But either way the 1st gen will still be faster........ If it don't go chrome it...

Yup, sounds like a good excuse to get out and ride for some visits. I didn't know you could use share and ice cream in the same sentence. I'm sure there is a grammatical rule against it. Or is that just my rule.

Keep the RPMs up around 2K and let them run till at least the cooling fan comes on. Short starts in the winter are bad for the transmission, the short run will cause condensation of water inside of the engine and it is not getting hot enough to boil it off. Short runs are like adding water to your oil. Just sitting there idling does not circulate the oil in the trans good. If you are going to run it in the winter it is best to actually take it out for a good ride to heat everything up good.

I could never buy that one, it is way to clean to be mine.....

Hey, That one came out of my back yard. Well almost. That is the same dealer that I bought my '88 from. At the time I was looking they had 5 ventures on the showroom floor including one just like that. Good thing it is not the SAME one that was there 5 years ago. I did notice that in the pic of the whole dash it is showing 97,270 miles. The add says 97,268 miles so someone was able to drive it 2 miles, this is a good thing, BUT then there is a close up pic of the speedo showing 36,923 miles and that is not even a venture speedo?????

I used to run a RC helicopter forum so I can feel your pain with trying to control the spam. Thanks for doing the hard part. There are enough idiots that do respond to spam and give them money to make it worth their effort, If there was no payback they wouldn't do it. I read somewhere once that it only takes 2 hits from 1 million spams to generate a profit.

I jut cant resist and have to ask........ What kind of a Naval ship has oil on the floor, and rust in the corners and even a rusty gun barrel????

This is sounding better and better. I had better get busy on my winter project list for the bike and trailer.

Do you feel lucky...........

You mean that saw blades do not last forever????? You have to change them???????

Bummer............. I always miss the good stuff......

I guess I'm safe since I don't tweet or face book or any of the other social sites. This site aint social............

Only if you want to go and drown worms in the trout stream that runs thru the backyard..... As to what kind of work will be getting done. It is easier to predict the Superbowl champions before the season starts. All you can do is to make a post to ask what people are interested in doing, (oh wait you kind of just did that) it is different every year. I would Venture to guess that carb synchs are the most common maint done at a MD. Last year we were doing some electrical and greasing pins, year before that it was electrical and cutting holes in windshields, year before that it was mainly carb work. The most important work that gets done is consuming food and beverage and a lot of BSing. You may not have to buy fertilizer for years........

How do you lube your joints?

Ray I still think we may have met without knowing it at IRCHA. If you have ever been to any of the SWARM parties, then I am sure we met. I am the inventor and chief cook of the famous IRCHA Rum Balls. -
It is a darn good thing that this process is to expensive for me to get into......... There is no telling what I might do.

I had a pretty heavy workout last night. I went out and shoveled the great white death, all 2 inches of it. Then I came in the house and did a ton of reps doing arm curls. I must have gone thru at least a quart of ice cream doing those arm curls.
