Going back and looking at MidLifeVenture's site posting, there are now about 6 different drone videos. There is no telling at this time how much bigger of a hole there still is below what we can see here. It is obvious there is still a cave by looking into the holes around the perimeter. This part of the country is known for caves and I don't think it is very far to Mammoth Cave. On another site I go on, this is being discussed and there has been a big discussion about this being a hoax. I can not understand that thinking, but is even in the comments in the noted website. If you look at the 62 Corvette, it looks like the body is curved and bowed. There are at least three or four cars that are completely covered. It will be interesting to see how this will be handled and to see how many of the cars they even try to pull out. RandyA

We just don't make them like we used to. RandyA http://www.wimp.com/crashtest/

A wife was making a breakfast of fried eggs for her husband. Suddenly, her husband burst into the kitchen. 'Careful,' he said, 'CAREFUL! Put in some more butter! Oh my gosh! You're cooking too many at once. TOO MANY! Turn them! TURN THEM NOW! We need more butter. Oh my gosh! WHERE are we going to get MORE BUTTER? They're going to STICK! Careful. CAREFUL! I said be CAREFUL! You NEVER listen to me when you're cooking! Never! Turn them! Hurry up! Are you CRAZY? Have you LOST your mind? Don't forget to salt them. You know you always forget to salt them. Use the Salt! USE THE SALT! THE SALT!' The wife stared at him. 'What in the world is wrong with you? You think I don't know how to fry a couple of eggs?' The husband calmly replied, 'I just wanted to show you what it feels like when I'm freakin' driving!'

Thank you for explaining that. I never was able to get past a word that sounds a lot like "deuce". Randy

I'm sure it is Skid, not only for you and your family, but for those you have worked with for such a long time and your family here. Many here have vicariously lived through you looking so forward to this point in your life, counting the days as they passed along with you. It is a dream for many of us to think about retiring at a young age. Now, you need all that strength that comes with a young age to conquer the challenge you are dealing with now. A phrase from an old timer; "Keep the faith, baby". RandyA

Some very expensive Corvettes are laying in a pile at the bottom of a 40 foot sinkhole. I am posting the best video I have found that even has a drone camera going down into the hole. RandyA http://au.news.yahoo.com/entertainment/a/21433475/sinkhole-collapses-part-of-corvette-museum/

Are you bragging or complaining? RandyA

One night while laying in bed One night, after the couple had retired for the night, the woman became aware that her husband was touching her in a most unusual manner as she was becoming aroused.. The man stopped abruptly and rolled over to his side of the bed. "Why are you stopping darling?" she whispered. He whispered back, "I finally found the remote!"

Good to hear some good news. Sounds like me getting two shots in my right eye every six weeks is a lot better than what you are having to deal with. It has been over two years since I lost the vision in my right eye and I will say that you will get used to it and things like riding your motorcycle just takes some adjustments. We just hope and pray that you continue to see improvement in your good eye. RandyA

$148,100 and 102 bids. RandyA

OK, my bad this time. I got this thread crossed with http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=83981 and was thinking we were talking about the 85 trans that was asked about putting in the 83 engine. Between the windshield threads jumping to trans threads and other threads, it gets confusing when you're getting old and have a short attention span, like I do. Thanks Bob for trying to keep me straight. RandyA

Autolite #4164 for $1.98 each. Always in stock. RandyA

Jim, you appear to have a float valve that is over flowing. The way I fixed my bike when it did that was to remove the air box and determine which carb was the problem. I then took the fuel line loose and used low pressure air to blow into that carb through the float valve. That fixed my problem. Also, Seafoam is hard on spark plugs, so after you run the heavy Seafoam mix thru the bike, you should probably change the spark plugs. I use cheap Autolites I get from Advance Auto and they work good for me. RandyA

Yes, at that number, the trans should have had the upgraded harder thrust washer, so your trans should not have the 2nd gear problem. Bob, it sounds like you are saying.........no, scratch that, I'm not real sure what you are telling him. RandyA

Bob, I believe the fix was after 1413 in 85 according to the tech bulletin. RandyA http://www.venturerider.org/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=69330&d=1341682879

why your state flag looks the way it does? The Tennessee flag has the circle with three stars that represents the three sections of Tennessee. Our state is long and is generally broken down in east, middle and west. Even though we are considered as being in the south, from where I am located in north east Tennessee, I am actually closer to Canada than Memphis. I think one that stands out to me as being unique(weird?) is Ohio. There is something a little odd looking about that one. RandyA

Wow, you sure brought back some memories, especially the Ducati brochures. Those 160 Monza Juniors are rare birds. Did you ever ride a 250 Diana Mark 3? Thanks Puc. RandyA

I just thought of another name; "Barney", because it has never been out of the barn since he has had it. I know, too late. RandyA

I remember when this was a big bike. RandyA

It sure does match the color of your truck. It may take a while to get the bugs worked out and when you do, you will love it. You will be amazed at how strong it runs. RandyA

Ya know, I have had my 83 19 years next month and I have never been able to come up with a name I liked. So, to me it is still "The bike". RandyA

You voted for Obama????????? RandyA

OK, folks, it is getting time to see what interest we have in doing an Asheville 2014, Mark Hopey Memorial Rally. We can see who is interested and when we want to put it together. I know that we have several members who are regulars that are on the mend right now and hopefully they will be in good shape by then. At this time I am so fed up with winter and we have a ways to go, but with putting something together toward Asheville, maybe it will help. RandyA

On your title issue, did the previous owner loose the title or never have one? What is the deal in MO on getting a title on a 30 year old vehicle? In some states, on a vehicle that old, all you need is a bill of sale. Welcome to the group and don't be shy. We can all learn from your questions and answers given. Once you get all the bugs worked out, you may want to take some longer trips. Many of us with way over 100,000 miles don't think anything about jumping on our bikes and making trips 2,000 miles and more. RandyA

Prayer being sent. RandyA
