    No need for you to take time off from work. I called in and took today off, if this will not conflict with plans Jean and you have made we can get together some time today. I always wear my helmet and other safefy gear even though it is not the cool thing to do or at times comfortable. Having seen some of the injuries from crashes from fellow workers and friends it makes it alot easier for me to take a few minutes to put on the leather. And from my earlier dirt bike days road rash...SUCKS! I also sent you a PM ...talk with you later

    Thanks all! Not sure how to handle Allstate insurance even though the fault was on the other driver. The bike is 21 years old and I am sure the games will begin soon. Any one here had a such dealings with insurance when their bike was hit. I need all the help I can get on this one. Regards Dave

    I had posted yesterday that I was in need of a luggage rack....now I need most of the left side for a 87' Royale. Yep, a young lady knocked me off my 87' Royale while coming home from work this afternoon and took the bike with her, since my highway peg was stuck in the passenger side of her front bumper. The bike was shoved across two lanes and left to die up on the sidewalk. She and her husband ride a bike, so she is very upset for not looking before pulling out of a conveniance store. Now, how will the insurance adjuster treat me? She had Allstate insurance. The officer who responded gave her 3 points and a ticket! But on a good note...I am fine with a small brush burn on the sleeve of my rain gear... Oh Shoot, I quess this means I won't make it to the Skid In...or Thunder in the Valley..or Gettysburg..or.... Regards Dave

    Looking to add a rack to my trunk what years will fit..how about Honda, H.D., etc.will any others work? Been watching Ebay... any other rack vendors? I have a broken antenna so how about the Marshall Mod , I have read about it , will it give better FM/ CB reception? Not really worried about transmitting as would rather listen. Will the thin Harley style whips , from the ultra classic, work with this set up?

    Thanks...Hey Yammer Dan, Just wanting to make sure my running the bike would not cause any damage or further damage. It is oiling according to slight bit of oil wash in the sight glass when accerated. There is not a heavy flow, but I don't know how much should be present. How far is the Skid-In? What part of West Virginia, I have a cottage in Springfield W Va. Mineral County. Maybe I can ride from there, kill two birds with one stone. Dave

    Hey Barry...I sent you a PM...check your mail

    Thanks to all who helped me work through the issues and bring the bike back to life. GeorgeS, Squidly, and Condor, and others thanks for taking the time to explain each step when I had yet another question. Now if I can locate someone willing to give the Royale a once over to see what else should be done. The engine seems to get a little loud once it is a operating temperature. A little less noticable when the clutch is pulled in. Not a knock like a bearing but more of a possible valve train issue. I live in South Central Pennsylvania, Bedford County. so if anyone lives in nearby PA., Western Maryland, or West Virginia and would be interested in taking a look, please give me a yell! Regards Dave
