    You need a more powerful leaf blower. Watch the bushes behind the fence. I think he was running this one at part throttle The "blower" in these two vids can output a little over 500 CFM at about 840 MPH. This will move some leaves. The type in both of these vids is a P70. Data sheet in the attached spreadsheet.

    I think it is along the lines of, If you can afford the gun and permits, you would concider the ammo as cheap. I didn't say I was getting one, I just want one........

    Dropping the air pressure in both the front and back will lower the bike a lot. But watch out for bumps. It will bottom out easy and can drag going in or out of driveways. There is a minimum amount of air that I need to keep in the shocks to get in and out of my parking area without high centering the bike. The other thing you will have to watch for is the side stand length, If you lower the bike you may need to shorten the side stand, and it will be harder to get up on the center stand. Lowering the seat and also taking some off of the sides to make the seat narrower should also help get your legs to the ground. I'm not saying you should not do the lowering if it makes the bike better for you, just pointing out some things to watch for.

    Look at that 90° plastic elbow real close. the caes guard can go up and smack it and spring back to look like it was never there. I did a bunch of grinding on my case guard so that if the bike ever falls to that side there will be more clearance before it gets into the plastic elbow AGAIN. I spent 4 years looking for that hairline intermittent coolant leak in that elbow.

    Is the choke stuck full on or hooked up wrong? That is about the RPM I get with full choke.

    Nope He says I'm way to old, but most of my grand kids are right in that age group. I guess I'll just have to go buy my own. And a good automatic reloader.

    Its not gutsy when it is born of necessity. Some times you just do what you have to do and no I have not dropped it.......YET! The only time it has been down since I owned it was when it was parked and the side stand sunk into the ground even though it was on a 4" Dia Stainless steel plate, The whole plate was driven into the ground.

    Not in Wisconsin. One to many wheels for a cycle and not enough protection to be a car. Now if you made this out of your VR / Vmax and kept the single rear wheel...........

    Mine has weather stripping between the halves from the factory. It does get old and needs to be replaced occasionally.

    What kind of welding equipment do you have available? It is a LONG ride and I doubt I can make it, but one never knows.

    Most construction companies are not open on weekends I would expect a voice mail during non business hours. Geeeeezzzzzzzz These retired folks that forget what a weekend means to us working slobs......

    I sure hope the "I dropped it" fund is getting a workout with all of the drops I am reading about.

    Yup, like Fuzzy said the wiring part is really simple. The controller box is about the size of 2 packs of cancer sticks side by side. You will have to find a place to hide it. If you get a five wire trailer, then you do not "need" a box on the bike but one is still recommended, for isolation. If you get a 4 wire trailer it is real easy to convert it to a 5 wire trailer. Just ask us some questions when you are ready to make the plunge. Well give you all kinds of grief,,,,,,,,,I mean help.

    Bob We did, at MD back in June, you mean you didn't clean up enough yet to find it.............? The most effective control mechanism for me was dinner. No dinner till after ALL chores are done, this happened daily. It worked well on my kids to.

    What are you calling a little low? The oil level should be no more than halfway up the sight glass with the bike upright off the side stand and level. If you fill it to the sight glass while on the side stand it will be WAY overfilled and make a mess. I use Valvoline 10W40, 4 stroke motorcycle oil from auto zone.

    NEVER, never, never rely on the ball for a ground. I can guaranty you will have nothing but problems down the road. Your bike is a 5 wire system. If the trailer has a 4 wire system then you need a 5 to 4 wire converter installed on the bike. If the trailer is wired as a 5 wire, then get a set of 5 pin plugs so that you have a ground wire. If the trailer uses the same bulb filaments for both brake lights and turn signals then it is a 4 wire trailer. If it has separate brake lights and turn signals then it is a 5 wire trailer. The other big benefit to doing it right is that the trailer will work with the vehicles of others and/or you can use others trailers. You never know when you will have a problem on the road and need someone to pull your trailer for you, or you will want to help someone out by pulling their trailer.

    Boy RR that really makes you old... um,,,,,,,, my first granddaughter was born in '82...... she is now married with 2 kids of her own.

    Looks like you can just grab them as they go by. AND keep an eye out for Mr. griz.

    Ummmmmm....... You do know that you can downshift these bike to use less brake.......... I need a lot of stuff for this winter. 2 tires add some LEDs progressive springs add more LEDs HID driving lights even MORE LEDs HO stator and RR. find a place for somemore LEDs Spark plugs and wires Did I mention more LEDs? IF all that gets done I would love to strip and repaint (most likely yellow) all of the Tupperware and blacken all of the chrome. But I will keep till the flies unless some other issue makes me park it sooner.

    It is one thing to clean up your own mess, I talked to a contractor friend of mine and showed him your pics. He said that he would not touch finishing a job like that unless he was going to dig everything out and start over. He said that with the poor masonry work there is to high of a risk that something bad will happen in a couple of years and then he would be the one called and expected to fix it under warranty. This may be why some of the "real" contractors are hesitant.

    From the looks of those pics he was only 0.01 (maybe less) seconds from taking the full impact of that tire with his body. This would have been a much different thread.
