    There are some Jardines on ebay right now starting at $100. I think that is about what the last set sold for. I have had Jardines for about 12 years and like them. RandyA

    Not a big deal to take off the windshield trim and windshield and top of dash cover. I hate to say it, but if this is a big deal, you really don't need a 27 year old motorcycle unless you have plenty of money to pay someone else to work on it. RandyA

    How do you know the modulating headlight did not save your life? What if that was the one thing someone noticed that was going to pull out in front of you, but didn't. You would not know this unless they ran you down and told you. I am not a big fan of modulating headlights and have run strobes in my headlight for about 14 years. Yes, I have had people tell me that they noticed them and made them look twice. But, strobes are technically illegal. RandyA

    Several years ago we had a cop out of Boone, NC on the lake one night run over another boat and killed a friend of mine. Even though he was way over the legal limit, because the deputy gave him an alcohol test, rather than the game warden, it did not count and he walked. RandyA

    I thought it may have been the spacer dropping a little, but I see you spread the slit at the pinch bolt and it went in. RandyA

    My 83, which was made in May, 83, has the rubber straps. Not sure if it was originally that way. RandyA

    Suggestion; Clean the area very good and ride around some and see where the oil is coming from. RandyA

    Just got a call about them finding a cell phone in the area of D-21 which is where we camped. If you lost one, call 828-686-3121 and it may be yours. RandyA

    It was really great to see Muffinman and Mini show up unexpectedly in Asheville. I was sitting there lounging and saw a couple of bikes pull in, but I did not realize who they were. Then here comes Muffinman and it made my day!!! I knew he was tired but it was obvious he was glad to be there. RandyA

    I don't know how I managed to do it but the large sleeve my canopy goes into disappeared. I did not realize this until I was packing everything up. I even checked the two large trashbags and did not see it. So, if anyone has any idea where the sleeve went, please let me know as I borrowed it from my son. Thanks, RandyA

    For those of you that have been to the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, you may know that they have their own winery and do tours of the winery and give taste tests. Well, to maybe add to the culture of the early Asheville folks and especially since we had twelve bottles of homemade wine, we had a wine and cheese tasting session. What made this even better was Woody (SylWoody)and his wife Katrina brought some really good tasting wine, and I mean really good tasting. It really started out nicely in being able to taste the richness of the flavors and compare one particular wine against another. But unfortunately, after a few samples, I believe we may have lost some of the tasting abilities as I think some of our taste buds begin to loose their effectiveness. It was also a bit of a problem as some seemed to not have any interest at all in tasting any of the cheese. So, any way, I thought I would post some pictures in this endeavor to add some class to this group, but I am not sure how effective this was. RandyA

    I got home about noon yesterday and unloaded the trailer and went to Gatlinburg. I needed a day of vacation to get over my vacation with you guys. Wow, what a great time. RandyA

    Another thing is having a big vacuum leak on the YICS ports. It takes overcoming the leak to have enough vacuum to open the carb slide up. Wide open it can run strong, but drop it down and that cylinder falls out. Another thing it sounds like is a blocked pilot jet or two. RandyA

    I will need to get your emergency info if you want to be listed on the ICE list and get a copy. I will need it it before I go to bed tonight. PM me here. RandyA

    The first thing I would do is check the basic tune up items. I would also take a look at the spark plug caps. They can get corroded inside in the resistor and will fire intermittenly. RandyA

    Found a pocketbook a young lady had left in a shopping cart at Walmart and she had just gotten to the local college from out of town and was buying supplies. Her pocketbook had all kinds of personal info, even her birth certificate where she must have used it to register. She was from a town about 100 miles away and there was not any information on how to get in touch with her. Fortunately, there was a Blockbuster Video card from her hometown and I called them and they finally gave me her cell phone number. I called her and she had not even realized yet that she had left it. The funny part was when I met up with her, I told her she would need to show me some ID and the look on her face was priceless, given I had all the ID she probably ever had. Oh, and good for you Gary!!! RandyA

    We also had one killed here Sunday where a cager pulled across in front of a guy on a Harley dresser and the rider wreaked trying to miss the driver. No contact, but in Tennessee you can be charged the same if you caused the crash, even with no contact. RandyA

    I have a three room tent with the center with mesh walls and the two side rooms that can be closed up. I also have a spare full size air mattress. I am going to have my small camper for me, but if anyone would like for me to bring any of this, I will be glad to let anyone use it. RandyA
