    Are you sure the fork is bottoming out or does it just sound like it is. If your steering head is loose any little bump will cause a front end noise that may make you think you are bottoming out.

    Ah man you bring tears to my eyes, this is getting all sentimental, but that is the general feeling. Interesting isn't it?

    Good thinking and we're with you on this. Thanks Russell.

    Don't know who it is you met, biker2be, but we are a couple, nuts maybe, but still a couple. All good news from what I read here, only thing I want to add at this point is that there is such thing as 'just' when it comes to motorcycles. When you climb on the seat you need to give it your all, all your attention, and all your being, let up for one instance and it may very well be the instant you needed to stay out of trouble. With that said have fun with the ride, learn well and then practice, practice and then practice some more, and when you're all done with the practice, practice again and again. God Bless you Carl

    Some Ultimate guidance was happening I'm sure.

    Can't believe the news, but it's something that will happen, but that don't make the pain any less bearable. No words can speak or tongue can say what your feelings are at this time Gary, but prayers are said for you and my wish and prayer for you, is that through all this you may find the support you need.

    Often times when Marca and I go out we get to the end of the drive and I go left (or right) and then it's her turn next, after that it's north, south, east or west and the next time it's right or left etc. Trouble comes when she says north and we're at a dead end heading north. When riding one never really gets lost, just taking the scenic route.

    I could go out there and help her learn. That would be a nice ride and a wonderful vacation. Don't know how Marca would feel about it though, come to think of it I don't think I'll even mention it. Would be an awesome vacation, by the way, how much is the pay? Well I guess I'm no help huh.

    To all that check your fuse block to make sure the fuses are contacting and power is getting through.

    I'd say a 1st gen runs much smooooother, but then how would I know. Oh what were we talking about????????????

    Notice that BradT always wants to get his 2cents in??? But they are all right, A safety course, then some practice alone and after that tell momma that it's now her practice time, yes she needs to practice too so that she becomes an integral part of the riding experience. Keep in mind that the bike is a machine and will do just what machines do according to what they are supposed to do. We are humans and can do what we please and how we please, and we can, if we want to, change what we do and how we do it at a moments notice. So we are flexible, but the machine is not, so we need to and can adjust to changing conditions. All we need to know is how to change and the benefits of that change, so that's where practice comes in. We create the changes and then adjust accordingly to manage the difference. I hope that all makes sense.

    What???? gone again??????????? don't you two ever stay home?????Enjoy the colors and each other!!!!!!! Must be nice to be retired!!!!!!!!! ENJOY and see you when you get back. And oh ya, some pictures here and there would be nice.

    Ha ha, you're absolutely right about the 1st gen thing, 'cept the 1st gen would have to slow down, get behind the 2nd and then it would catch up and most likely pass, except the 2nd genner would not know for sure, hard to distinguish a blurr. :rotf: If someone has a loose clutch basket, I would be the willing reciepient of one, I'll even pay the postage. It would be nice to have one to play with and to see how I could 'butcher' it up.

    I'm no machinist, but I would maybe just run a bolt though the hole in the center (put in a bushing if necessary) and then clamp the bolt into the lathe. Course that maybe not accurate enough, but then how accurate is a piece of plywood?
  18. Marcarl
    Thanks Bradt
  19. Marcarl
    Well I didn't really want to mention it but it has something to do with speed, course some may call that a similarity rather than a difference.
  20. Marcarl
    Probably a HD cylinder, now we know why they run like they do.

    I finally got my wife to quit turning her head at stops, and to try to quit counter balancing if it leans a little. Also I now pay more attention to my stop until I'm stopped,so to keep my attention straight forward, and try to pay less attention to whether there is traffic coming so that I may be able to roll on. Keep in mind that you'll go where you're looking, so if you're looking right or left when coming to stop, you're going to weave. All this has helped quite a bit and makes the boss more compatible.
  22. Marcarl
    One difference between your lathe and an engine that comes to mind is the running temp and speed of the gears also maybe the back pressure. Ok that's two but what the heck, who's counting. Darn now that's three.
  23. Marcarl
    Better maybe fix the intake valve, sure interesting though. Do they come installed on 2nd gens?
  24. Marcarl
