We’re still working it out if the marm is coming or if I’m riding solo. The rally is a few weeks prior to us moving the last kiddo out for college so we feel a little guilty leaving her here alone. We haven’t booked a room yet so depending on what I need I’ll be glad to buy out somebody’s deposit if we can arrange it.

This Covid thing has knocked me out, they changed the move in date for my daughter getting into the dorm. I’ll be in Huntsville that weekend, really hoped to make this one.

I’m in a small town America area that’s usually insulated from this kind of problem. We’ve had two protests this week, one very well organized and peaceful, the other shutting down the major route through town. When they started walking between and surrounding cars one driver pepper sprayed the crowd. The driver was arrested for that, I won’t give my opinion on the arrest. This all happened right in front of the ice cream store where my 18yo daughter works, she called me in a panic. I ended up setting in the dining room 3-1/2 hours as a guard keeping the three teens working there calm. All in a county that has had 3 police shootings that I can remember in my life, all white all justified. I don’t think we’ll have the riots or looting here, the rednecks will turn vigilante if we do.

My wife and daughter always catch the most. I spend all my time removing their fish and baiting their hooks.

Wife and I rode 125 mile Memorial Day ride.

Don’t take difference of opinion personal here, it’s a large group and diverse thought process. Some choose somber remembrance of those who gave their lives while others celebrate the lives given in ultimate sacrifice. I never served Due to a spinal injury but have tremendous respect for those who have. I choose to reflect on my grandfather from WW1, cousins in Vietnam, BIL from Korean War, and friends from many conflicts. While they didn’t fall in battle many have slowly fallen from the effects suffered there. I spent some time this morning thinking of BongoBob and the reality he probably died from Vietnam just last summer. Later today we’ll get the bike out and visit our local park that has memorials for every war the US has been a part of including the names of every local resident who didn’t come home.

Depends on your definition of close. I’m only 1023 miles away :moon:

There are several members in the area of the reservation. They tell me if you come bearing ice cream they’ll come out to meet you.

The sensor reads the ring gear. No change.

The speed discrepancy is normal, changing the gearing doesn’t change the speedo. You can get a Speedo Healer or Speedodrd to adjust it. I use the DRD because it’s cheaper, they both work well.

I never use a pressure washer anywhere near my bike. It will inject water in electrical and in bearings. Bad things happen.

Dang, you sucked me in. I thought we were going to Krispy Kreme for a meet and greet.

You can but a 3.5 mm signal splitter or I use an Amplirider for multiple inputs.

I think it’s different by state. I remember one part was I swore to have never fought in a duel. That’s the only part I remember after nearly 30 years, that was as a deputy jailer. It didn’t take me long to figure out law enforcement wasn’t for me, way too high tempered to be cussed or spit at.

For anybody interested, if I understand what research I’ve done the FJR has the same gears as a VMax and on Ebay are 1/3-1/2 price of the VMax pumpkin. I just ordered an FJR pumpkin for $55.

One of those was me. My phone locked up as soon as I entered chat. I figured Carl was in there tearing stuff up.

I’ve talked to John, thinking I may just mill in the speed sensor in a VMax pumpkin.

Does anybody know what years the VMax final drives fit the RSV?

I haven’t done mine yet but I talked to John about it a couple months ago. He’s done several for members here.

It’s not a direct swap. The VMax pumpkin doesn’t have the speed sensor in it. You either have to swap the gears or mill the hole in the pumpkin for the sensor.

(610)509-8629 John Furber. He will do a swap or send yours in and he’ll re-gear it and send it back.

If I don’t use gas I substitute Wal Mart carb cleaner for starting fluid. Much less volatile so less chance of engine damage.

I’m burning more gas than ever. My truck and wife’s jeep still going about every day. Since she’s only working 1/2 days and I work every third day we’ve been going to the lake a lot burning boat gas. My daughter however hasn’t filled up in over a month, she’s going with mom to mom’s classroom and doing her work while mom does hers. I am enjoying the cheap fill ups though, filled the bike for $8.00 with alcahol free.

Or some RSV cam tools or steering head wrenches or a new add on farkel we’ve never seen or or or........... Sorry to hear about the job situation. Since I ride one of those fire trucks y’all are talking about I’m considered either essential or expendable, not sure which. With all this going on we’ve stopped doing medical calls and leaving them to the ambulance service. Our run numbers fell for a while but with so many people home our house fires have dramatically increased. I’m really concerned if this doesn’t end soon we’ll end up with fires from people behind financially.
