    We get that type of fog in the San Juaquin Valley. We call it Tule (two-lee) Fog. You can be traveling along at night with star light unlimited visibility, and run into these 'rivers' of ground fog. Drivers with their head stuck in a very dark place don't know enuff to slow down, and will start a chain reaction. We've had 100+ car pile ups on I-5 and hwy99 over the years. A while back the CHP started running their cruisers as pace cars thru the stuff. It seems to be working as I haven't heard of any big pile-ups in the last few years....

    The best way I've found is to leave the cables connected until the carbs are removed and hanging off the left side of the bike. Then you can get to the cables without much of a hassle. Same thing when installing. Hook 'm up and then slip the carbs back in. Getting those cable barrels slipped in properly is a PITA without room to work...

    Check a few local pawn shops. They usually have a couple laying around.

    AGM batteries are sealed and therefore don't need the acid level probe. You will get a blinking warning light in the CMU that can be easily bypassed. Here's a LINK

    Don't go!! It's a proven fact that no one.... absolutely no one... looses weight on a cruise.... Those health spas they have on board are there just to satify a few guilt feelings...

    Dang... I love cruising in the Caribbean.. Have a great time and don't eat too much. It can be hazardous...

    Doesn't AAA require plus or premier coverage to get the bike covered?? I think?? Just looked at their site and couldn't find any mention of a bike....

    There's probably a small capacitor in the clock that maintains time for a couple of hours. This one may be dead.... Or... it's not getting enough current to put a few miliamps in the bank. I killed my battery in the '99 last summer by running on battery power only for three days straight. When the bike died... everything died... Even started after lunch, but 40 miles down the road it croaked 8.9vdc on the multi. Had to reset everything. I have switched out batteries in the past and didn't have to do a thing.

    If you can dial the PSI in at the compressor, and can keep it exactely the same in both forks, why do you even need a guage....?? Go ahead, give it a try... BTW have you looked up the price of a replacement rear shock yet??

    I have a question.... On a single wheeled trailer does it add a little weight to the lean angle when stopped, on a side stand, or moving at parking lot speeds since the trailer mass also tilts?? Just curious.....

    And after two attemps at fixing the problem I'd start jumping up and down for a new replacement 'twinkie'......

    They built a fleet of them.. how many?? don't know, but maybe it's in the Leno production?? They did distroy them afterwards. At least that was what I was told when I looked into possibility of buying one of the loaners from Chrysler back in '64.

    Here's a rather long presentation done by Jay Leno on the Crysler Turbine. I was lucky enough to see one of them being demo'd at the Eastland Mall, Covina Ca. in 1963. They would fire it up several times during the day and the schedule was posted next to the car. At the time they were drumming up entries for a lottery they were holding to pick individuals that they would 'loan' it to for 3 months at a time. I understood when they scrapped the project that they distroyed all but one of the cars, and it ended up in their museum. I guess according to Leno there were two. Can you imagine what one of these things would bring on the block at Barret Jackson?? I wonder what Leno had to pay Chrysler for his?? This is a long video but nicely done and well worth watching...

    No..No.. No.... don't use a compressor to pump up the front forks or rear shocks.... You'll be sorry....... I have two harley style hand pumps stowed in the netting of the trunk. One 0-30 and one 0 to 60. Take up very little room.

    Yep, The wife and I have been down in Mexico on a couple of 7-8 day trips, plus a road trip fron Tiajuna to Cabo with a buddy. The US$ has never been refused, but before going I always pick up 3-400US in Pesos from a local money dealer. I get daily value, with no fees. I've also picked up Pesos at even a better rate than the bank or hotel from a shopping mall store. They will usually put a sign in the window with the rate if they're exchanging. I also carry a couple of hundred in one's and five's US as a lot of the shops or resturants have trouble exchanging $20 at the bank. The banks are really a PITA in Mexico.... The value is still there. On the way back from the Cabo trip My buddy and I stopped in Ensinada around dinner time to get a real mexican meal, and by-pass the crowds at the boarder during rush hour. Couldn't find a Mexican Resturant anywhere so we went Chinese. We were hungry and ordered the Sea Food Supreme for three. The waitress pointed out that we only had two, and we said that's alright... bring it!! They filled up two tables with all the different dishes. Didn't know what some of the dishes were and really didn't want to... Anyway the bill came to 75Pesos. About $7.50 US!! I gave the waitress a 100peso bill and said keep the change.....
