There are three other you tube videos from him, but he does't show anymore than this one. I would like to have seen more of what it looked like. RandyA

Thanks Mike, I ended up in Ubon, Thailand as part of the Easter offensive of 72. It absolutely amazed me how many sorties of F-4 Phantoms and AC 130 gunships went out of Ubon everyday. Ubon was located about 30 miles from Laos and 45 miles from Cambodia. RandyA

I Haven't seen any other comments on this, but the late night talk shows wore out Christina and her version of the National Anthem. Jay's take and modified version was hilarious. I also checked some other shows and they also went off on her. RandyA

Either you got really good Karma, or you are a thief. Way to go buddy! RandyA

I get mailed stuff and the coupon had the $59.95 non contact laser temp gauge for $25.95. I bought one and took it to work and compared with the certified one and it stayed with-in one degree. I'm happy as it works great in comparing exhaust pipe temps. RandyA

Right Rear Bag Removal
Venturous Randy replied to GolfVenture's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
I thought I could help you, but I got a MKI, the Sport/Touring Venture, and our bags take a turn of the key and they slide off. RandyA -
I don't disagree with you a bit. RandyA

Very well said!! RandyA

This has been posted before with a lot of justified negative comments. You can say what you want, but the guy can handle a motorcycle. RandyA

The worst was Roseanne and the best was Whitney Houston. RandyA

That looks like a broken pin to me that had the grooves in the side to hold it in place. RandyA

Best National Anthem ever.....Whitney Houston years ago. RandyA

I heard a couple of days ago that given who it was, there were bets on how many seconds tha song would last and there were bets on even how long the last word would last. It is a good thing she left out a verse, or the flyboys would have had to take another lap to match the end. I guess in some things I am a little too old fashioned. RandyA

jumps out of gear.

It is not a matter of rpm as much as the amount of torque that is being exerted on the gearset. Just out of curosity, what is the last four of your serial number? RandyA -
There are still a lot of fairing parts that show up on ebay. Sometimes they go surprisingly cheap. RandyA
-
Tim, another option is to pick up another MKII engine and just swap it out. It will still be some work, but take a lot less time. Money wise, if you look around, they do pop up ocassionally. RandyA

I just looked at this thing and as of this moment, it has had 15,215 views. Man, are we a voyeuristic bunch. Ok, what's next? RandyA

$4,200 plus parts, how slow are those guys anyway. My first fix cost me $28 when I undercut the gears. The best thing to do it is to buy a complete 86 up gearset as I did a couple of weeks ago. I got it off ebay for about $25 plus $5 more for forks and a few dollars shipping. It is not an easy job, but I think it can be done in a weekend easy. RandyA

Well, at least it is Friday and off for the weekend for me. I hope it gets better for you and your wife is going to be ok. RandyA

Good point, the military always puts the day first in the date. RandyA

Thank you Bob for the great update!!!:banana: RandyA

You have to realize that the military functions 24/7/365 and to them there are 24 hours in a day, not 12 and 12. Using that system takes away any possibility for confusion on a scheduled event. What we used to refer to some of the scheduled events was 0-dark-30 as usually these things were sometime in the middle of the night. Believe or not, the military system worked pretty good. RandyA

I just talked to a tech at Comcast and he says I have a virus that came from the noted forwarding sender that also has the virus. He said about the only thing that I can do is go to Malwarebites.org and try to get it to fix my software program. On my PC, I recently purchased Malwarebites, but I don't know if I can use the same program on my Laptop, which is mostly what I use now. He said he is seeing a bunch of this stuff coming through. I am still open for any suggestions. Thanks, RandyA

Looking Good. I now have my Corbin seat I bought several years ago at the upholstery shop being recovered. I bought one off ebay for $38 as there was a tear in the driver seat where the "V" insignia was. It cost me $40 to get that part covered. I took the cover off and also did a lot of mods on the driver portion . I probably lowered mine most of 1 1/2 to 2 inches and took a little out of the edges up front. This became a very comfortable seat for me to spend many hours riding. Now, a few years later, I am having the whole thing done and I am supposed to pick it up tomorrow. I am a little anxious about it and hope it turns out good. RandyA

In my opinion, 38psi is getting a little on the low side for a rear tire already up to temperature. RandyA
