    Well, on this coming Friday, I will be retired from the Military Reserves. Sometime next year, I will be undergoing retraining over in Alberta. There is no big rush to do it, as I don't want to do the training, in below freezing temps. I still need to decide, on where I take the course, near Red Deer or up at Ft Mac.

    Like oil type / brand & tires..... I guess, MarCarl added that in to the rides, since 2007.

    Did about an extra 8,500 miles, to get to last years Cody International rally, from Vancouver Island, Via Pakidaho, Grandpagak,Youper, Big Tom, Yammerdan, Minimuffin, Eck & the Sleeperhawks, Randya & SGN, Wrongway. Missed Snaggletooth by about 8 miles, but we were not leaving the air conditioned room once we checked in (we were wiped from that days ride).........

    I put it into thermostat bypass mode, after getting the check ball to finally move & ran the bike for a while. Another friend of mine & I started his jeep a little later (bypassed the fuel tank first). This jeep has not been started in about 12 years. Today, we did some more carb adjustments, set the timing, broke the clutch disk free & put the rear wheels up on ramps. Another weekend we will pull the jeep fuel tank, for clean out or possible replacement, depending on what is found during checkout. Now in planning stages, for the re-build of the jeep brake system. :mo money: But his wife & daughter is happy, that the jeep project is now underway........ :thumbsup2:

    A PITA, like any other fork seal change out. Use OEM, as at least some of the aftermarket ones don't fit properly & how many seals do you want to try (buy).

    I was just talking with his daughter, they left a couple of hours ago or so. Apparently Rick did it himself (maybe with guidence from Big Bob or his wife / mechanic). There may be hope for him yet & this can be a test of his repair job.

    Finned guards on patrol, I see.

    That was an old stock windshield that you got, I had one like that back in 2006 & destroyed it shortly after (took out a deer). They had a batch, where the rear holes was out of position & the bends were not quite enough. I had gotten others since that 1st one in 2006, with a proper fit.

    Rocket replied to Black Owl's topic in Watering Hole

    Roasted Owl, is missing from the menu. But it will probably happen, near the fire.........

    Yup, she could probably pass you, while riding on a 150, without any problems.........

    Sounds like battery being over charged & maybe even being boiled dry. That is normally the only time the acid can be smelled, due to extreme charge rates.

    A week ago, the smoke was coming from the mountains between Salmon & the pass into Montanna, we drove thru. Pakidaho is south of the town of Salmon. I'm guessing that it is northwest of them, from my sightings.

    Especially, if they are "in shape" like Russ..... Yes, round is a shape.......... :bang head:

    I got 1 in Wainwright AB & also in Victoria BC (for 2 bikes), so the Deka is available up here (they just cost more).

    First off it is only powered up when the key is in the Acc position. It then performs a self check, before you can check or adjust, the front or rear pressures.

    This years ride ended in Nanton, south of Calgary. With transmission problems occuring with the 83. Currently the bikes are at CalgaryRider's place & Grump & I are at Pakidaho's in a rental car. I am still working out a plan for the 83. But just before departing on this years trip, I was offered a 85 (with 2nd gear out) & 86 parts bike in the Wainwright area.

    My initial post of not seeing Seafoam at Cdn Tire, was dated in Aug 2008.........
