    This video was made by the Ca CHP in 2007, but is still something we all should look at now that the riding season is just around the corner. Not for the squeemish. http://www.chp.ca.gov/html/motorcycle_v.html

    Tuesday I stopped by my local GM dealer to have the oil changed on the Suburban. In the past I usually tried to hit the place early...around 7-7:30AM. Any later and it's a zoo. I had to have some blood drawn at 8, so decided since I was in the neighborhood to fight the crowd and git'r done. Pulled to the sevice area around 9 and there was only 3 cars in line. Cool!! Well... in the next hour they didn't have more than 4 cars pull in. You could have shot a canon off full of grapeshot and not done any damage. Utter/McKinley's Morturary. I had no idea it was that bad. Then on the way back home I heard on the radio that GM was preparing to file bankruptcy in the next month or two. I personally don't see how this dealer will survive even that long..... They did have a used F350 4x4 'Harley Branded' Pick-up out on the lot that was really nice. Wished I had the bucks... Oh well... dream on!!....

    I found this write up on the web. Maybe it'll help?? This would keep the connections somewhat protected. You can wire it to anywhere you can find the needed power sources. The devise has a ribbon of three wires, black (ground), orange (switched 12v supply), and red (constant 12v supply). Remove the headlight and locate the two accessory wires. http://www.vn750.com/Docs/clock.htm

    If you already have the baffle out where you can inspect it, then my last, and the previous post are mootas they were about doing the 'adjustment' with the reserve still installed. Just make sure the pleats are folded. Sorry about the double post. I didn't mean to repeat myself....old age I guess...

    The rear reserve has a pleated type baffle/gasket. When the baffle is extended out all the way it will push the sensor float down and give a false fluid level reading. Happened to me on the '83. Since removing the reserve top is a PITA, I used a wire hook thru the fill hole to get a couple of the pleats compressed and the red light disappeared. Not perfect but effective.

    A few years ago, just prior to Ft.Collins, I picked up one of the Cycle Pumps. http://www.bestrestproducts.com/c-10-cyclepump.aspx It was rated as one of the best, and had some great feedback. It cost a lot more than those found at Wally World or Harbor, but I had a few bucks.. pre-economic collapse.. so what the heck... I just did a search and found them listed for much less than what I ponied up.

    Hey, it's early Sunday morning, and the mind's wandering. Some of you may remember?? But a few years back after VWI? a box of Bakersfield dirt was packed up by Hdhtr and sent out to a member who couldn't attend the rally, but were there in spirit. The deal was that the dirt was to be spred on a tarp and a picture of the member was to be taken while riding thru it... then posted to the board. Afterwards the dirt forwarded on to the next member. For all this trouble a VWI patch was mailed to the VR Dirt Rider. It was a great idea!!... I'm not even sure if this was something that happened in the pre-crash days?? Anyway, what happened to the dirt?? Don't want it... just curious.

    Unfortunately the rear brake ,with the proportioning valve, can't be reverse bled. Two things to check. Reserve's too full, or the expansion hole might be plugged. You might also take the pads off and compress the pistons...one or both may be sticking?? If it's not these, it might be time to rebuild the rear caliper...

    I guess I do need to apologise Goose. So let me be a little more specific, and perhaps you can corrrect me where I'm in error. What I felt you were sayting say that you expected another 4-5 thousand miles out of the tire based on your experience of getting 15,000 miles out of previous Avons. Or the tire still had 1/3 of it's wear left after putting 10,000 miles on it.... You also stated that you cut your trip short and rode 350 miles dirrectly home due to the condition of the tire. So lets assume that you put a total of 800 miles... give or take... on the tire, and it went from a tire with 1/3 of it's tread life left above the wear indicators when you started the trip, to a tire that was worn down to the cord. From the pictures you posted it semed like, to me anyway, that a lot of tire disappeared in those miles you traveled, or the tire didn't have the amount of tread left you thought it had, but that perhaps the tread was already getting pretty thin. Ergo, my comment about bald and stretching the milage. For that I apologise. Condor.
