FWIW, every gremlin is a bit different. When I had a similar issue while trying to get home from Dons MD, I ended up finding 3 possible issues that could have each by themselves caused the intermittent dying. 1. broken kill switch. I scrounged a new one. 2. there are 2 black wires connected to the battery Negative post, one is the heavy one that goes to the engine block for the starter current, and the other one is smaller that goes to a 1 pin connector and then to frame ground. The one pin connector on mine had at some point in its life gotten doused in battery acid and was very corroded, I cut that out and made it a one piece wire from battery to frame. 3. In a connector in the dash the red/white wire, (same wire that goes to the kill switch) had a bad factory crimp to the terminal in the connector while I was wiggling wires this one simply fell out of the terminal. I soldered it back into the terminal. Any one of these could have been causing my issues so I have no idea which one fixed it. But I spent a month chasing wires around the bike to find them.

I really hate to have to say this but your case is broken, the hinges are rusted solid and everything is wide open up there. It is plain that I am going to have to teach you the difference between open and closed, and then teach you which way is the correct way to have things at various times of the year. It is obvious that you seem to have forgotten.

I have to agree that someone sure don't know the difference between open and closed. Cuz "Baby its cold outside.........":whistling: Hey Ben, Your door is WIDE open and swinging to make more wind. Trust us on this one. Durn kids always leavin the darn door open all the time........

See now if you don't believe that I adjusted north and east just take a look at Erie PA................. You just got a bit of over spray.......................

Are you sure that you know the difference between open and closed??? We did not even make it up to 0°F today..... Do I need to make another trip up there to show you what CLOSED means??????

There is only one of me, I can not get everyone all at once in the first week of winter. Give me time, you will get whats coming to you.

I was not aiming for the south, Up in the sensible northern half of the country we know how to deal with flakes. We like a White Christmas. If I aimed south it would ruin everyone's Christmas when they rolled up the streets and sidewalks and the whole world came to a screeching halt. But once the festivities are over...........................

I may be raciest, I only do WHITE Christmases.

And a Merry Christmas to all.

DOUBLE SECRET PROBATION!!! You mean I am now lumped in with the likes of @Yammer Dan and @cowpuc? OH OH I Hear it again. The words are stuck in my head............. "I'm Dreaming of a white.... Christmas.......... Just like the ones I used to know................"

OOPIE!! Sorry Bossman Swinging north and east. It may still take a bit for what is already launched to finish falling. Yes it is pretty, I love it when everything is clean and white. Now you are just dreaming. I can reach Florida, Arizona, Even Cali. Last winter there was snow on the ground in ALL 50 states at the same time. The location of the components is highly classified, Not easy to find. If it should be found, there is a significant defense system in place, I have many formidable weapons including jets and rocket powered aircraft.

I would not be nervous, failed drive trains are not a common issue with the Ventures.

That is the fun part that I have been looking forward to. I like fabricating stuff.

That back yard is beautiful. I sure wish they all could look like that.

1; I have been pretty nice so far this year, like you I do have some character flaws, one of which is that if I get accused of some thing and have to take the heat for it, and it sounds like it might have been fun, I sure am gonna make sure that I am guilty since I am getting the abuse anyhow. Might as well earn it.

The Faux tank grommet is really hard to find. I split a piece of vacuum line lengthwise and glued that around the opening in the frame and it has worked perfect for the last 50K miles. Which antenna for the royal, CB or radio?

So glad to hear that this part is finally over and with a positive outcome. We will be in Greenville on Christmas day, We will wave to you as we go by.

And even worse is that we might not even have a white Christmas. The big snow that was promised for Friday is now going to be 40°F RAIN. Even more Bah Humbug..............

Did you ask what they are testing for?

I live in a rough neighborhood and very close to the high school. I have had a lot of things grow legs around here. I have thought about rigging up a package with an ignition coil. 25,000 Volts will get the attention of most people. But then I will have to invest in a security camera system.......... I am not sure about the legality of firing off a shotgun primer in the city.

My New Primary Care Physician Love this Doctor Q: Doctor, I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life. Is this true? A: Heart only good for so many beats, and that it... Don't waste on exercise. Everything wear out eventually. Speeding up heart not make you live longer; it like saying you extend life of car by driving faster. Want to live longer? Take nap. Q: Should I reduce my alcohol intake? A: Oh no. Wine made from fruit. Brandy distilled wine, that mean they take water out of fruity bit so you get even more of goodness that way. Beer also made of grain. Bottom up! Q: How can I calculate my body/fat ratio? A: Well, if you have body and you have fat, your ratio one to one.. If you have two body, your ratio two to one. Q: What are some of the advantages of participating in a regular exercise program? A: Can't think of single one, sorry. My philosophy: No pain...good! Q: Aren't fried foods bad for you? A: YOU NOT LISTENING! Food fried in vegetable oil. How getting more vegetable be bad? Q : Will sit-ups help prevent me from getting a little soft around the middle? A: Oh no! When you exercise muscle, it get bigger. You should only be doing sit-up if you want bigger stomach Q: Is chocolate bad for me? A: You crazy?!? HEL-LO-O!! Cocoa bean! Another vegetable! It best feel-good food around! Q: Is swimming good for your figure? A: If swimming good for figure, explain whale to me. Q: Is getting in shape important for my lifestyle? A: Hey! 'Round' is shape! Well... I hope this has cleared up any misconceptions you may have had about food and diets. And remember: Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Chardonnay in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO, what a ride!!" AND..... For those of you who watch what you eat, here's the final word on nutrition and health. It's a relief to know the truth after all those conflicting nutritional studies. 1. The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans. 2. The Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans. 3. The Chinese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans. 4. The Italians drink a lot of red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans... 5. The Germans drink a lot of beer and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans. CONCLUSION: Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is apparently what kills you.

Feel free, just make sure you don't let the cat out of the bag....................

My girl has learned real quick to not ask any question that she does not want an honest answer to. Sometimes the truth hurts, and that can make me painfully honest at times.

Don't check the pies with your fingers after it has been running for more that about 15-30 seconds. It will be really hard to clean the burnt on skin off of the pipes while your hands are all bandaged up.

You can't lie to a dog, they can smell a lie with that amazing nose. I just tell the dog I am going out and "I'll be back" If I say an hour she will expect me back in an hour. She would let me know if she was POed at me. There is no problem telling the wife I'll be back in an hour, She knows that I can not tell time............She even knows that the only place that that is open on weekends and sells "motorcycle gas" is 50 miles away..................
