    I also have been an avid deer hunter for more than 30 years. I have seen with my own eyes a 10 point buck attack a car that stopped in between him and the doe he was chasing. It was not just a case of the buck happening to run into the car, it was an all out attack with repeated charges. If they will attack a car, I am certain they will have no problem with a bike.

    It is the time of year where the deer are just coming into the rut. This means that they will be more active and even less predictable than at any other time of the year. A buck will attack ANYTHING that gets between him and the doe he is chasing. The does will run blindly trying to get away from the bucks if they are not yet ready for what he has in mind. There is no more of the "mostly around dawn and dusk" for deer running across a road, expect them at any time of the day or night. All of the flashing lights and loud noises will not get them to stop from running in front of you. It is totally up to you to see and avoid them, and they may be coming fast. Lets all be extra vigilant out there. The Rut typically lasts till mid to late November. I just heard a news story this morning of 7 people in Indiana killed in their mini van after hitting a deer that left the van disabled in the road and it was then creamed by a semi. Our bikes are no match for even a small deer.

    Turn up your speakers......It will be less quiet.

    Load resistors are fine for turn signals or even brake lights. But you do not want load resistors for the tail or running lights, It will defeat all of the power savings of the LEDs. So if you are going in to jumper the running lights you might as well jumper everything while you are there.

    I wish you the best of luck. I've been in your shoes and know it aint fun. All you can do is the best that you can. Hope you can make it to the library often.

    There are several threads on here somewhere about how to do the jumpers. I won't have time to look for them till later, if you do not find them first. No the extra resistors and diodes that you have left over are not what you need for the load resistors. That would be way to easy.

    I like snow. Snow is fun to drive in. I do not have to shovel, I just wait for May and it all goes away.

    You will need to jumper the CMU so that it does not give constant warnings about burned out tail and brake bulbs. The turn signals will flash really fast if you just put in the LED bulbs. There are 3 options 1. Live with the fast flash. Some people here like it fast. 2. Add in load resistors to get the flash rate back down. 3. Change to a electronic flasher, but this will lose the automatic turn signal canceling unless you also play some other electrical games.

    Your math is off. She had summer over there then came here for summer and got home just in time for summer......... That makes 3 summers in a row with no winter thrown in. Hope you have fun down there. Don't "moose" to many locals, they might not understand.

    Hmmmm..... I wonder if that "safe experience" could translate into moving a 3400 lb milling machine out of my basement and into another basement........

    This has always been my dream machine to build and fly. http://www.safarihelicopter.com/

    But then since you have a 1st gen you do not need chrome. Cuz we all know that if it don't go, chrome it........ ....... someone had to say it.......

    I didn't know that Robinson ever sold a kit. Or are you thinking of Rotorway?

    You know what happens when you ass u me.......

    I have also found out that the seat still can be removed or installed while the backrest is still on the bike.

    And here I thought I was being conservative with 15 seconds and allowing time to put it away after it was off.......

    If that is what is landing there, it is nowhere near an ultralight. That is a model of a Robinson R22, The real one sells for around a 1/4 million:mo money: before optional add-ons. The R22 weighs about the same as a Venture at 885 lbs. The max weight for an ultralight is 254 lbs. Yes I want one of those also.

    Since you did check for power at the generator and tried the reset switches, the other possibility is that after 15 years the age got it instead of the hours. It is possible that there are some corroded connections inside of the generator. Try all of the outlets on the generator to see if there is any sign of life in any of them. If all is dead you can try to take whatever covers you can get off of the generator and check for anything that is obviously broken or corroded. You can check the circuit breakers with an ohm meter to be sure that they are really working. You can check the coils for continuity to see if there is an open. Depending on the design you may be able to diagnose it as fatal or repairable just by poking around with an ohm meter. Beyond that it might just be time for a trip to a repair facility or even an upgrade.

    Just toss your oily clothes in the wash with her favorite underthings and I can bet she will stop laughing at you....... :duck: :duck: But then I'll bet it was pretty funny to watch..........

    The one that is on my 88 comes on or off in about 15 seconds. I would call that easily.

    Thank you for not including a pic of your arse planted on that thing..........

    Along this same lines. It was reported on the local news last night where a woman had her purse stolen while out shopping. The theif used the cell phone to text "Hubby" with "I forgot our PIN number for the ATM" Hubby texted the pin back without a thought. By the time the wife got home and told hubby what had happened the bank accounts were empty. Do not use names like Hubby, wifey sweety etc. The same story talked about someone at a football game that had the GPS and garage door opener stolen from the car. The GPS had an entry of "Home" and the garage door opener the door to let them into the house. because the car was at a game they knew exactly how much time they had till the owners came home. The house was nearly empty. Just some more to think about. I have changed the entries in my phone and GPS so that it is not an easy guess as to what they are.

    My weekend with the missis just turned out great, the hotdogs were great, the bologna sandwiches were great, I did splurge on a bottle of Mudslide that went into the all gone machine. The time alone together with no sources of outside interruption possible, made for a very romantic weekend regardless of the food served. It is you that supplies the romance, not the food or drink served. If you don't have a friend with a secluded cabin in the woods you can always take all of the batteries out of the cell phones and turn off the main breaker in the house, get a few candles and show her your best charm. At that point the food should not matter.

    Sure, and I just spent a long weekend in the UP of MI (which is way up north to me) and I did go out every night to look for lights, except for the night that it was pouring rain, and only saw LOTS of stars and a few meteors.
