    I don't worry too much about that small leak that develops when it gets cold. It is not going to cause a catastrophic leak and as soon as it is warmer, it will go away. These o-rings are like other things, they shrink when they get cold, but work ok when they get warmed up a little. RandyA

    Happy New Year Yammer Dan and I sure know what you mean about 2012. It has been a hell of a year for me too. RandyA

    Barry, I hope you and your family have a good trip back to Florida. We need to do a trade out some time if you want to come back to this area. I am about 90 miles north east of Gatlinburg and you are on the west coast of Florida. I am wanting to make a trip down and go to the Keys. RandyA

    I just went on Gatlinburgtnlive and looked at a couple of webcams and I have to say that I am glad I am here on my couch. I guess I am getting old. RandyA

    That's a good question as it does not appear there was much wind moving around just a minute or so before the tornado. If the guy in the SUV had not moved forward, he would have got nailed in the windshield with the debris. I would have liked to have seen a few more minutes of the video. RandyA

    Think about being on your bike. RandyA http://www.snotr.com/video/8956/Frig...h_of_a_tornado

    Way to go Thom. Do you think you could ever learn to ride that 2nd gen in the mountains? I know your 1st gen was just too fast for you on those curvy roads. RandyA

    The road from Cosby over toward Maggie Valley also is a big draw for the Elk watchers. I understand there are areas where they herd together. Barry, are you going in to town for the ball drop? RandyA
  10. Venturous Randy
    Yes Larry, that is the way I come in also and had very little traffic. Most people do not know about that route. There were a lot of lights and to think about it, there may have been less this year. I was down there several years ago fo New Years eve and they were going to do the ball drop from the tower thing and ended up leaving about 11pm as there was just too many people. I bet it is full right now. RandyA

    Linda and I decided to get away for an overnight and decided to go to Gatlinburg to see the Christmas lights before the end of the year. We got a room in Pigeon Forge on the river and after a nap, rode up to Gatlinburg to eat and do the usual walk through town. For a Thursday night, there were a lot of folks in town. Today, we took a ride through Cades Cove and even at this time of year, there was a lot of traffic. We did not see any bear, but there sure were a lot of deer. You would think that some of these people have never seen a deer before as there was a lot of stopping and watching. As we were leaving Pigeon Forge and heading back to I-40, it was a solid three lanes of traffic barely moving all the way, coming toward Pigeon Forge from the interstate. How many cars could there be in a parking lot three lanes wide and seven miles long? No, we were not on the bike, but it sure did make me want to look forward to spring time. RandyA

    If we could split the difference between us, we would both be happy. RandyA

    I believe the inside sleeve diameter is different as the spring diameters are different. I believe the later ones have the larger diameter springs. RandyA
  14. Venturous Randy
    The best thing you can do is put Progressive springs in the front and you can go without any air. For the back, like Squidley said, 40 to 45 is good. If I am riding solo, I might drop down to 30, but I am real inseam challenged. I also run my dampener on 4 all the time as that probably compensates a bit that the shock now has almost 160,000 miles on it. If riding 2-up and carrying some stuff, I may go up to 60 psi on the rear. The thing to do is to experiment on what works best for you and your bike. RandyA

    With me, it took a while for me to get to the point that I liked it. RandyA

    I think that many of us will agree that there are a lot of TV shows that are pretty crappy. I used to enjoy shows like Storage Wars when it first came out, but it has become so scripted that I have about quit watching it. I just don't do well with reality type shows. One of the shows that I always skipped over, like Jersey Shore, was the The Big Bang Theory. A couple of months ago I sat down with my grandson, who was watching TBBT and found it to be surprisingly entertaining. Now, with all the reruns on, I have found it to be one that I will stop and watch when I am surfing the channels. Does anyone else watch this show? RandyA

    Dan, I am not sure whether you are bragging or complaining? RandyA

    Some people take things as a joke and some people don't. Kind of like when you are dealing with the ........more common reference to PMS. To me, what makes this site so good is everything is not all about motorcycles. When I am with my motorcycle buddies, we talk about things other than motorcycles. RandyA
  21. Venturous Randy
    Just for clarification, my "4..3..2..1..poof" comment above referenced the George Carlin videos in this post that I now see have been removed. RandyA
  22. Venturous Randy
    Like I have already said; Dan, you are one of the reasons I come on here. I always look forward to your comments and I have truly missed them. RandyA

    so I am going to call it a night. Just in case the world does end in the morning at 6:11 am and I am still asleep, I just wanted to say it has been fun. If the world don't end, maybe we can look at the morning as being the first day of the rest of our lives. RandyA
  24. Venturous Randy
    Good! RandyA You must have just got off work.

    Some people do some really stupid things on a motorcycle. RandyA video is now unavailable http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&v=nBJds4PYn7Y&NR=1
