  1. Good to know. My daughter lives close to where 295 crosses over the I95 in Jacksonville on the southern side. Hoping to get down later this summer.
  2. Slave cylinder shot(leaking) on my 2007 RSVM. Ordered parts should be here in a week. Went ahead and ordered brake pads as well. .
  3. A while back I got a 3 hole Instrument pod for a second gen. One for the ignition and two others for a tach, voltage or Temp gauge. One opening measures 2 5/8" the other 1.5" . Someone from this site originally made them. Cannot find the articles? so I can get a matched set of gauges. Any help would be appreciated.
  4. Happy fourth! Hopefully you had AC!
  5. Happy Fourth of July! Especially to those and their families stationed away from home.
  6. Sorry to hear this. We just got a Bichon Friese a few weeks ago... 3.5 lbs and faster than a rocket! We keep him in a small baby playpen with cardboard on bottom with a large dog pad and small dogvcrate, so far so good. At 9 weeks he's just about potty? trained... Hope everything turns out well.
  7. " LOVE of your bike is a lot like the love of your wife...Takes work, and the understanding gained by the personal interaction and frustration, anger, joy and success of every aspect of those interactions." Will let you know how I feel about that later on today. Going to look at the old girl this morning... I purchased speed bleeders years ago but never installed them. Believe I will dig them up and give em a shot.
  8. I'd have to say this whole covid thing has thrown a monkey wrench into countless areas of our lives. Hopefully we can get back to normal with logic and good old fashioned common sense. The other thing that is affecting riding, is the recession we are currently in. Had a friend with an RV and trailer for bike tell me he was leaving them home, driving his car to Florida and getting an Air B&B ? as it was a lot cheaper than driving the RV. People will have less money for extras and I believe the companies are anticipating this...
  9. Story of my life... LOL.
  10. I'll definitely check it out/look for it. I used a mighty vac 5 years ago to pull the dot4 fluid thru. Hoping it's just low but while I'm in there, will pull new thru all the brakes and the clutch.. Thanks for advice... Which brings up another problem, my wife used my mighty vac a while ago for making knife handles and didn't use the reservoir between the resin and the MV, so the resin she was using went into the MV making it useless. Need to make a trip to the store to buy new one....
  11. It won't dis-engage. There's no resistance when I pull the clutch lever in. Will check fluid level but I didn't notice any leaks on the floor. Guess I need to jump on this this weekend in case I need to order something.
  12. I'll be there, but need to figure out why my clutch failed yesterday. Went from good clutch to nothing in 4 miles. Luckily I was close to new house and I shifted to neutral coasted to a stop and put in garage and called Penny for a ride. Have been really lucky with this bike. Had a stator go out as I was pulling into my driveway a few years ago. I guess "Stuff" happens... better to happen at home than on the road.
  13. Small propane tanks with screw on burner tops. One large, one small. Cook mainly burgers, bacon and eggs and boil potato's for parsley potato's. Eat salads for lunch when fishing.
  14. Anyone camping? They have campsites open right next to the lake with electric and water. Definitely interested in the fishing part...LOL! Dang! have to be in Jacksonville, fla the 12th - 14th of may. Not going to be able to make it...
  15. I believe most of what was said above is true. But we've lost so much more. America use to be a melting pot. The beacon of everything good. Gone are the days of : Working together towards a common goal (some are quick to point out our differences.) Personal responsibility for one actions (it's always someone/something else's fault) JFK's “Ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country,” (now reversed) Clear cut Winners and losers (no need to try and better yourself) (today everybody gets a participation trophy) Family oriented(peoples lives centered around it) Earning a living and feeling good about ones contributions(why bother, Uncle Sam will send you a check) On paper, it would seem to be easy to fix, but the reality of it is, we'd have to have the same Goal, and we do not. Life isn't meant to be easy, it's our struggles that makes us strong. OK, gonna go hide now.
  16. Why were they there?
  17. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay... out of my ball park! From $169,500...
  18. LOL! I think we have all been in that position a time or two...
  19. N I C E !!!
  20. Good looking bike but I believe my next bike? will be Red, have a removable hardtop, heat and AC. Getting soft in my old age...
  21. I have used all four. Dawn, Goop, Lava and Orange. If I remember I rub some Dawn into my hands and let it dry. Makes cleanup a lot easier. Don't like to wear gloves. Just bought two bottles of the orange. Will get some Goop also (seems to clean around fingernails easier...)
  22. Good looking tractor. Really like the quick attach implements. My Ford 1520 is about back together. Had to tear apart to put clutch in it. Replaced the pilot and throwout bearings and both clutch disks... Then, found out PTO shaft, bearings and seals also needed to be replaced. This required the front portion of the transmission to be disassembled. Way out of my comfort range but I got through it. Next tractor I buy, will most likely be a full size, 4 wheel drive orchard tractor. The parts are cheaper than the compact tractors and not near as tip prone due to the larger diameter wheels up front. Be careful, those heavy loads can get you in trouble quick. Even a small pothole or slope can tip you over, especially if the loader is higher than the headlights. You've got forks now that should make it alot safer. The lower the loader/forks are, the safer the ride. Anyway have fun with it it!
  23. Don, you will be in Penny's and my thoughts and prayers. Here's hoping it's confined to that eye. As far as this site being slow in the winter, a lot of that has to do with not riding, so, it's out of most people's minds. Like you, I only rode my bike once last year and really need to take the time and just do it. Had something happen to my right wrist this fall, and I couldn't hold a cup of coffee let alone a 900 lb. Venture. And now just like that, it's better? I dropped Face book, Twitter and Instagram. Will never participate in organizations that try to control what people think. Hopefully these monopolies will be addressed by our elected officials this year.
  24. Skid, I would really like to make that Asheville trip again. Was talking to Dave wells and will most likely get another lake Snowden camping together late spring/early summer. I'm trying to get a spot reserved at Summersville, WV. Stayed for three days last summer and it was amazing!
  25. Been to Asheville, Snowden Lake, Galena and Cody etc... in past years. Would like to continue this as this is the best way to experience a road trip. Thinking about combining it with some salmon fishing May - September. Anyone interested?
