I've been away for awhile. Skid Mrs. Halfwitt and I are praying for you. Our daughter is off to seminary in a few months. She has some good connections - she can go to the front of the line with her prayers! -
So, I jiggled here, and jiggled there. I unplugged and plugged all the connectors (except for one I couldn't get apart). I greased up everything. I removed the seat and jiggled some more. I did find that the stack of wires on my positive terminal was a little loose and I snugged that down. Put everything back together and VOILA (or for you string players, VIOLA!) My audio is good. I'm not sure what fixed it. I would think if it was the loose positive terminals then all electric would have been cutting out. No matter - it's fixed. I need to put a fuse block in under the seat so I will go find that post and make that my next project. Thanks all!

I am fortunate that she enjoys riding as much, or maybe even more, than I do. I think it's a safe bet that we will get some good multi-day rides in next year.

Hey Yammer! I was just staying away to see if anyone would miss me. I do lurk occasionally to see if you are behaving yourself. Things are great here. Lots of home improvement projects this year. I haven't put too many miles on the scoot. Wife tells me there will be no projects next year. We've been talking about doing a WV run with my brother who is down in SC.

Thanks guys! When it stops raining I'll see what I can find. I'm especially interested in the wires under the seat. That would explain why I can shake the heck out of all the wires up front and can't duplicate. I'll let you know what/if I find anything!

I am about at my halfwitt's end... I recently installed OEM driving lights on my '07 RSV. Since then, I have had issues with the audio cutting out. I have had the faring apart twice now and I jiggle wires trying to get it to cut out and can't find anything. It happens most frequently when it is warm, accelerating or going up hill. Lately it has started to be be more persistent and even will cut out when stopped. I unplugged the 2.5mm line coming out and ran Pandora from my phone straight to that cable and it still cuts out. It cuts out if I am using the aux jack on the cassette or if I am using radio. All four speakers are cutting out. Does anyone have any guesses where I might look for a loose wire or loose ground? ARGH!

Wow - some prolific posters here! Except they haven't posted since before the Internet was invented http://www.venturerider.org/modules/Statistics/index.php?&op=posters

We do 17 a lot as our daughter goes to UR. Nice ride. US15 north of Harrisburg is nice. Have a good trip! -

If you're passing through York County, PA, let me know! -
You do realize that "gone" is anything but "gone"! Our kids are starting their Junior year in college in a couple of weeks. Can's wait for them to leave! We love our kids dearly but we get into a new routine while their in school as do they. When they are home everyone is on edge because schedules are disrupted. My wife and I didn't have much "our" time before our kids were born so we are enjoying the freedom to hop on the scoot for a long weekend whenever we want.

My wife and I use Sena Bluetooth on our 3/4 and they work great. They have a new setup for 1/2 helmets: http://www.senabluetooth.com/products/sph10h.php?tab_menu=overview

Sorry to hear that Dragon. I have heard so many people say that getting laid off from their secure job was the best thing that ever happened to them. It prompted them to do something they always wanted to try. I hope this turns into a blessing for you. Best of Luck!!

Everybody ride safe and have a great time! I'll be looking for you as my wife and I head north to Ontario tomorrow and back again on Friday.
