    I use Advanced Systems Care Free. Does a pretty good job of cleaning the registry, etc. Have you cleaned out the cookies yet. A bunch of those will slow down any machine....

    Since the question was a continuation sentence, connected by a conjunction, the man jumped off the roof. However he may still be on the roof after he jumped. It didn't say he jumped 'down' off the roof, although that may have happened.. He could have also jumped 'up' off the roof, and then landed on the roof again. My

    Glad you made it back to the barn OK Larry. It was a pleasure meeting you and the Mrs., and thanks for the kind words...

    Check your diaphragms for leaks, and your idle jets are probably clogged if it'll only run with full choke.

    The Ride-On isn't meant to balance a tire completely, just fine tune it. They say to balance it like you always do and then put the 'goo' in. Maybe you lucked out and the E3 was pretty close to being balanced from the git-go....

    My 99 was replaced after 27,000 miles under warantee. Replacement is doing OK after 50,000.

    The price Joe posted is really great. I've been getting DEKA's from Bohannon for about $85 on the door step. Although I can't speak for all AGM's here's a little story about about what happened last week in Cody. I checked the charge voltage just before hitting the road from Sacramento to the VR International in Cody. Deka showed 17vdc charge at idle. I didn't have time to do any 'seek and distroy' so figured the Deka would last til I got to Cody.... hopefully.. Not so. It ended up dead in Thermopolis Wy, 85 miles south of Cody. Almost made it. Now when I say dead, I mean dead... 8.9vdc was all it showed on the meter. I should have been arrested right then and there for 'Assualt on a Battery'.. The sides even looked a little hollow. Luckily it died right acrossed the street from an auto parts store where I picked up a 'cheap..$95' wet cell... their only 20L in the place... got the bike fired up and made it to Cody. I did come prepared. Smart Charger and extra 'OEM Indian' rectifyer just in case. That evening I put the Deka on the smart charger and it recharged without throwing any error codes. The next morning I checked the charge on the wet cell and it showed 14.2vdc. OK, Must have been a bad battery even though it did recharge?? So off on the ride the BearTooth. Great ride as usual, but killed the wet cell on the way back. Motor died as I approached a flag man at the beginning of a construction zone 16 miles outside of town. The wet cell showed 11.8vdc, but didn't have enough poop to turn the starter over. There I sat for 2.5 hours until the rest of the group finally rode up. Gave Brian Fries (Friesman) the key to my room and he brought the 're-charged' Deka back. Many thanks Brian!!!! Fired up the bike and made it back to town. With a lot of help from 'Dano' we finally found and replaced the rectifyer and made it back to Sacramento without a problem. Some observations.. The Deka is one tough AGM Battery. It lasted for three days and 900 miles before croaking. At 8.9vdc I would have thought I'd murdered it?? And just because there's voltage showing on a charge doesn't mean it's getting amps too. And don't assume anything...

    This is a little off subject. We all know about the 2ndGen shock problems, but what the 'H' did they do to the design when they came out with the 2ndGen?? I rarely hear about a rear shock going on a 1stGen..... Too bad they're not interchangeable...

    There were only two items that I really wanted among all those raffle prizes. Steve's grill and the Seagrams Black. In all the raffles I've bought tickets for over the years I have never ever had a number drawn. Never...ever...ever And when I actually had a number called at Cody I couldn't believe it. Talk about excited!!. When the second number was called, and I won the Seagrams.... Back at the Skyline quite a few members sampled that bottle around the campfire.... OK.. not a camp fire, but close... All the rest of those great prizes went to someone else, and I don't think anyone went away empty handed... OK..OK..!! I'm still in a daze about that third number...

    When I first bought my '83 it clunked all the time on rough roads. Progressives cured that problem. I was bottoming out with the old springs....

    Can't the church members come up with something? Or at least help?? Most churchs are aware of the pastor housing problem and have taken steps to take care of it, and if they couldn't they had no business hiring more staff. Another thought is a mobile home park?? Or perhaps a member has enough acreage to put a mobile home on it. The church members need to step up and address the problem.

    As long as the oil doesn't have friction modifiers in it you shouldn't have a problem.

    07 value

    Condor replied to jlh3rd's topic in Watering Hole

    If it's totaled it will have a salve title. Value depends a lot on the current market. Do some research on what other Ventures of that year are going for. KBB, Ebay, Cycle Trader, Etc. Copy the listings. Build your case.

    Have a good time Steve, don't blame you a bit.... I won the grill at Cody, but am in no hurry.. take your time. I did fill out the certificate for a 99Silver, but I think it's still in the out box along with the bills. Enjoy the time off.

    Glad you folks made it home safe and sound. I had to rescue a few of those plants too....
