    You are just a little too PG minded. RandyA

    Took a little ride in the car around Boone, NC yesterday and a little on the Blue Ridge Parkway. I couldn't go too far on the BRP as it was closed in about 5 miles in the direction I was going. It is amazing the clarity of the air in that area compared to summer time. RandyA

    My thinking is your thinking is so out of whack that I don't think you know what you're thinking. RandyA

    When I look at that bike, it sure does seem to make my 28 year old 1st gen look contempory. RandyA

    Charlie, the difference between me and you is I would have had better sense than to go there in the 1st place. RandyA

    I just tell people that in the run position, the top of the letters are toward the 5 oclock position. RandyA

    I just noticed the date is January 15th. It was 42 years ago today in 1969 that I was inducted into the U. S. Air Force and I remember it as if it were yesterday. Wow, that was a long time ago. RandyA

    I had a good friend killed in a boating crash due to a cop out of North Carolina that was driving a boat drunk after dark. Because of a technically of who administered the test in whether it was a Sheriff or a Wildlife Resource Officer on the lake, it was thrown out and he walked with absolutely no consequnces. In my opinion, if you are drunk, you are drunk. RandyA

    Drama, that is what we have all been missing out on.................NOT!!!!! Sorry, couldn't help it as I have had way too much drama in my life this past year and even though my divorce was almost four months ago, it is still a problem and I may have to start changing phone numbers. RandyA

    I must say also that it surprises me sometimes with the count of how many are on here and so few posts that change. I do know that I don't always pay much attention to the 2nd gen stuff, but I know that is just a small part of everything, just as is the 1st gen stuff. It does surprise me that we may go for days in the 1st gen stuff without any updates, added posts or comments. I know I have tried on several ocassions to start what I thought was an interesting post that went absolutely nowhere. I also like to add to other's posts, partucularly those that start out slow, just to give a little support. And Jerry W., you have been a significant contributor to this forum with 730 posts and many you started. I regret you feel the way you do and I hope you rethink this, but it is your choice. RandyA

    We don't like bragging on this site as it is supposed to be about zero here in east Tennessee in the next night or so. RandyA

    I checked the radar several times for your area yesterday and last night and it seemed like the snow just ran out before it got to you. You are not having hot flashes bad enough to affect the weather are you? RandyA

    One of these years I would like to tow down to your area in about March and spend the night and leave the car and trailer and then spend several days meandering around the southern Florida area, all the way to the Keys. I would then want to spend the night and then head back to the mountains. Even though as part of my divorce, most of the funiture ended up in Alabama, I am in the process of restocking my four bedrooms just so some of my friends on here can come to this great riding area and spend some time. This past September, Arthur (ADC) allowed Linda and me to stay at his place and we were also able to go over to the Outer Banks. Him allowing us to do that is really what made the trip possible. We also had a really great time getting together with several from eastern North Carolina. RandyA

    I just love it when neighbors with barking dogs B***h about someone else making noise. RandyA

    If you ever want to come up this way, and I am in north east Tennessee, let me know and you may have a place to spend a few days. I might also need a place to stay sometime in Florida. RandyA

    We have about 2 more inches coming down fast this morning here in north east Tennessee. It looks like it is going to be another winter like last year when we were routinely 15 to 25º below normal. Looks like we are getting into thet mini ice-age I have been hearing about. This would be a great time to go out in the garage and build a fire in the stove and do some work, but I just can't seem to get motivated. RandyA

    When you are dealing with a girlfriend, there are somethings you just don't want to rush on but I had not considered it relating to carbs. Ok, when you are saying revving to 3,000 rpm's, are you meaning idleing at that rpm? Also, syncing before putting the carbs back on the bike is a very rough way of getting them close so they can be synced properly. But, if you are ideling at 3,000 rpm's, you will need to get it down to 800 to 1,000 to properly sync. When you start the bike cold, let it run for 30 seconds or so and then feel if there is a difference in the exhaust pipes. Don't run too long or they will be too hot to touch. RandyA

    Skydoc gave some great advice and one thing I will add is these sparkplug caps have resistors in them and they do corrode, so either take them apart and clean them, or replace them. Also, cut off a 1/4 inch or so off the plug wire. These bikes sitting for a long time is a lot worse than running the heck out of them everyday. RandyA

    Dan, he thinks the 2nd gear upgrade has been done. RandyA

    My condolences to you and your family. I can relate to the birthday as my mother had a brain anurism two days before my 46th birthday and died the day after. RandyA

    Had a wonderful New Years day. From bringing in the new year on has been memorable. Linda fixed a delicious roast for lunch and then about 1:30pm we took off for Gatlinburg. We did drive in some rain, but it was a nice ride down, considering it was in the car. Gatlinburg was packed, but it was fun. We ate at Legend's and halfed a great meal while sitting by the fireplace. Visited some interesting stores and took some pictures of the lights. This was Linda's first time to see all the Christmas lights and that made it even more special for me. Life is good. RandyA
