    Hey...I said anytime AFTER 6:30....I don't care how late it is. You folks pick the time and I'll be OK with it. Does everybody know where the Black Stallion is? I can get an address if you need me to.

    You folks just set a time. Anything after 6:30 or so is fine for me.

    Just follow the cable from the bottom of the CB antenna. It should go into the black box under the trunk.

    I found them online before and actually posted a link here. Just did a quick search but haven't found it yet. I'll look again tonight because I know it's here somewhere.

    Well I may end up letting the guy do it. He said he could actually do it the day before and I could just come pick it up or he could do it at my place that day. Doing it that day though would mean eating late. Roadkill, if we do it ourself, I will buy a pig ready to cook. I've already found a source for them. It will be butchered and cleaned already.

    I have replaced one before. I removed the cover, it is stapled on, and replaced the stud with a bolt of the same size. Then just stapled the cover back on. Turned out fine.

    I usually only get here a couple of times a year and it's always fly in and fly out. Never had time to ride out so far. Maybe someday.

    I've never used them but did do some searching. The general consensus seems to be that they are just another gimmick. No improvements in power, fuel economy or anything else.

    Nice color choice I think. I really like it. Hope it brings you miles of smiles.

    I sure don't plan to be wearing short sleeves. I am cold here in the hotel room. Juggler, there is a good little restaurant just up the road between here and the Minneapolis. Closer to here though. It's right off 52. I think the name is the Black Stallion.

    No...I'll just put out a donation jar like I did last year. Contributions will be appreciated but as always, not required. Thanks though.

    By the way, if there is anybody coming who has roasted a pig and is willing to help out, I could probably arrange free room and board at my house so we can get an early start on Saturday morning.

    OK folks...I'm thinking about doing a pig roast this year at my maintenance day. I just have to decide how to do it. I found a guy who will rent me just the trailer mounted roaster. I'm just worried about having time to roast a pig with all the other stuff I'm usually doing that day. The other option is that he will roast it the day before and I can just pick it up. It's a lot more expensive that way though. The other small detail is that I have never done one before. Anybody here with any pig roasting experience that will be there to lend a hand? I am thinking about a 125 pound pig (dressed weight) and understand that it will take maybe 10 hours. That means I would have to start it VERY early in the morning if we hope to eat by 3:00 or so.

    If you guys decide to meet up on Wednesday or Thursday evening, let me know and I'll try to join you.

    I'm not 100% sure. We were in Harrison, Arkansas a few years ago and my good friend Tom Anderson was having trouble with his new RSV. The engine would just die going around a corner. It turned out to be what they called a "Lean Sensor". The local dealer there had one shipped in and replaced it and the problem was solved. Now I just looked at the wiring diagram and don't see anything actually called a Lean Sensor. What I do see is something called an "emergency stop switch". It appears to be somewhere under the right/front of the gas tank. According to the diagnostics section of the service manual, you test it by connecting an ohm meter and then rotating the switch 50 degrees. That indicates to me that it does work as a "lean" sensor. It is supposed to go from 0 ohms to infinity when you rotate it the 50 degrees.

    I finally made it to Minnesota and have to say that I would be just fine going back home now. They don't know that winter is OVER. Got to the airport yesterday and found that my flight was not just delayed, but canceled. Ended up going back home and got a flight out at 6:30 this morning. Made it to our office in Cannon Falls around 10:30 this morning. Wish I had time to visit with Mr. Owl and Juggler and others in the area but my trips here are usually all business. If there are any members right near Cannon Falls I would be happy to meet for dinner or whatever one evening. Heading back home on Friday.

    No, there's not. I added a feature like that once but it really screwed up the readability of the forum so I removed it.

    They do have a lean sensor...but it has nothing to do with the turn signals.

    I see posts all the time about shopping for insurance. I know that it varies greatly by location, driving record, many other things. I'm just curious about who pays the very least. Whether it be only liability or whatever. I just paid mine online this morning. I've never carried anything but liability on my RSV since the day I bought it. I pay $99.00 per year through Progressive. Anybody paying less? I'll bet there is.
  21. Freebird
    Yes, still valid but unfortunately they are USA only at this time.

    Heck...she's a GREAT cook. I hadn't even thought about that. Maybe I'll try to get her back home.

    I've had my passport for years. I renewed it about 6 years ago so it's still good for another 4 years. My wife doesn't have hers yet. My question is: If we get into Canada but on the way back, she isn't allowed to re-enter the USA and I have to leave her there, do any of you know any eligible nice looking ladies in the USA that might be interested in a worn out old man?

    Very nice Gene. That will look fantastic in any type of parade or escort service.

    Folks...it appears that the write-up on the Star Washer problem got deleted at some point. Does anybody have a copy of it or willing to write it up again?
