Just missed us. We had a group get together there this past weekend.

Can I save this to show the wife that I AM correct every now and then? 🙄

Prayers up. Was good to meet you last week.

Using a 40 amp relay doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a 40 amp circuit, I don’t think our stator even runs that high. The amp draw of the circuit should determine wire size, I always use a heavier than needed relay on about everything, cuts down on failure.

Cupcake. MMMHHHHMMM. Yeah I’d but it too.

We did get a couple group pics I’m sure somebody will post up soon.

Somebody had to take the picture. Tons of great roads and got to put some more names to faces. Had a great time, just got landed back home.

Great riding at Vogel.

I got to meet them both at Don’s MD last time.

I know we’ve beaten that horse to death about the air cooled V-Twin but I think they alienated the Venture faithful. We’ve seen them clearance priced all the way down to $12k brand new.

Glad to hear they are doing well. Awaiting his return.

With some things we have going on it looks like I’m gonna have to trailer down this trip, never done that. Really thinking about running to the HD shop for some window stickers to camouflage it a bit and hide my shame. See y’all Thursday.

If you dive in to replacement the job isn’t too bad, the lower race is the biggest pain. Some use a sharp punch and go at it, I reached in from the bottom and welded a piece of steel to the race and had a good surface to set a punch on. Instead of completely removing the inner fairing I just tied it up with a strap from the ceiling.

Ya just had to go and say it. Didn’t ya???⛈⛈⛈ Don’t think I’ve ever made a rally I didn’t get wet at least once.

Freebird was making them some years ago. His instructions are in the tech library.

I have some at low rpms, not much. I bought it used so I have no idea which basket is in it. I could see it bothering me if I had the low speed whine at highway speed.

Haha. Can’t wait to get everyone together again.

New bike. At least it feels like it. I replaced the front rotors (warped one last time I installed a tire when it shot out of the bead breaker), new whoa pads on both ends, flushed the iced tea out of both brake systems, and the hot chocolate out of the clutch hydraulics. Ashamed I let the fluids go this long. Changed the oil and monkeyed with tire pressure a little, and installed the radiator guard that came from Ky Bigmac’s wife. Now I just need to clean it up before I head out to Vogel.

Well since @steamerbought arm rests from Eykamp in another thread me smells a Hannigan in the works. HHHMMMMM. By the way you don’t have to show my scooter pic to Robin, she might tan my behind 😁

This one has 3 wheels

I haven’t done a first gen but Yamaha was stingy with the grease in the neck on my 2nd gen. My thoughts were that once I spent the time to tear it down replacing them was the way to go. New bearings with plenty of grease should outlast me.

Y’all come down here in May. There ain’t a straight road in the county.

Sounds like your master cylinder is going out maybe.

Really hate that Covid got MD and WNY this year. I’m getting to make Vogel the first time next week. Wish there were more members closer to this area to do some M&Es. I may be retired before the rally here next May, almost positive I will be before the following year so if we get a good turnout I can see that becoming an annual event. There’s some really nice riding here, you can come in on interstate or good smaller roads.
