    Naked

    Bob Myers replied to dray's topic in Trailer Talk

    Interesting. Looks like the one I started back in September and have not finished yet. I had a car top carrier that i cut down to use and did not like the final result so I gave it away. I never thought, and neither did the dozens of people I talked to about it I could use a golf bag carrier. I may have some renewed interest. If not I'll have a single wheel trailer frame and wheel for sale pretty cheap.

    38 miles from Paris!

    Sunday aint long enough, you need to ride down immediately after work on Friday, so you can explore Saturday too. Easy to show you a 5 or 6 hundred mile weekend, with little prospect of seeing anything twice, if you want. If it looks like a real deal better book motel reservations at least 6 weeks ahead. Places around here fill up early and fast

    There is a place in Gardenside called "Country Cooking by George", it is in the building where Reno's and "Mashed'Taters" used to be. Lunch buffet is $7.65, pretty good food. I ate there today, and could only eat 4 chops, last Thursday I ate 5 and 2 chicken thighs. Try tomorrow night, beef brisket or roast beef, depending on the mood of the cook. Dinner is slightly more, $8.65 I think.

    Freeze, Tina and I live in Paris, 16 miles from the horse park, 5 miles from one of the most famous horse farms in the world, Claiborne Farms. Any time you folks want a guided tour i would be proud to ride with you. Let me know a while in advance when you are coming and what you would like to see. The horse farms have limited weeks of accepting visitors and usually they are appointment is best type deals. If you get lucky and get here on a Thursday i'll take you to a $7.00 buffet with the BEST pork chops in the state, if you like them breaded. Man I love to eat almost as much as I love to ride.

    Tina and I both wear our full face helmet 100%, never leave home without it. When i rode to Salt lake City last summer I carried an extra, just in case I lost my helmet.

    Seems like this video has bogged down, at the present rate of travel the guys at or near the bottom won't get to see it before Christmas, if ever. Maybe a time limit should be put on it, so everyone asking to see it can. Some of the guys had this for 3 or more weeks before sending it to the next guy.

    OK for younger folks, but over about 12 or so it'll be pretty lame. Bout on par with the old Tombstone Junction before it went away.

    does it have a chip in the 'puter? If so, take it out and clean the contacts, reinstall or better yet leave it out for a while. If no chip, look at the fuse box under the hood, pull each and every fuse looking for signs of corrosion. I am near sure the #9 Maxi fuse fuse feeds the EEC,the fuel pump relay and the coils, if it sees an erratic signal it fails, by default. #16 is the fuel rump fuse,relay is #2, EEC realy is #1 When it is doing its "roll over and play dead" if you crank it does the tach move? Does this one have a distributor or coil packs?

    I'd pull that 5 amp fuse and put a 5 amp circuit breaker/auto reset type in its place. Could be rather tiresome replacing fuses.

    careful using acetone on polycarbonate helmet, it'll dissolve it!

    Yea, but he was independently wealthy, and had good script writers

    Actually it does. We use mine for a table when we are grilling

    Dave, From experience with several friends who have VN750, you really don't want one of those for her. After 2000 models they are plagued with electrical gremlins, especially stator problems

    I have been buying the majority of my perishable tooling via ebay, and used paypal for almost every transaction. Over $75k in the last 3 years according to their records. I have no clue as to how much previous to that. Only one problem in that time, and that was a seller refunded my money and I repaid, only I did not wait long enough for the refund to be redeposited so it came out of my credit card balance. I missed the transaction until end of month statement and ended up paying interest on the buy.

    If you decide to stretch them, take some measures to assure that the spring rate is close on all four. Something as simple as a single weight placed on each individual spring, and measure the weighted height to equalize their rate. Doesn't mean spring rate will be right, just more equal. Back years ago I made parts for a moto-gp racer and he did that on every carb setup. Claimed it smoothed out the acceleration,and took out flat spots.
  17. Bob Myers
    If only one of the springs gets soft that could cause a feeling of missing or surging on acceleration too.

    My normal response when some one asks, "are you busy?" "I'm busier than a 3 legged cat trying to cover up my mess on a frozen pond".

    Using Firefox I usually have no problems with the nuisance of scrolling sideways to see all. However immediately after reading this and moving on to the next post I had just that problem(http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=29855). My resolution is 1152x862. Changing to more resolution results, as Condor said, in every thing being smaller than the screen. What words of wisdom does some one have for Condor and I? EDIT: Changing resolution to 1280x1024 helped only slightly, then when I made text large enough for granpa to see it returned to as it was before res increase. I'm going back to1152, this text hurts my eyes.

    Spose to be raining here, low 50's. I guess I'll work on my Bronco on Friday or Saturday.

    Interested in a mill with a 2 axis prototrak control? 3hp variable speed, some time in the next two weeks I'll be sending the spindle to Modern Tools for an overhaul so it'll have fresh spindle bearings too. I can deliver, or ship. St Charles is only about 375 from here. Easy before lunch drive.

    You could either machine about 1/16 off of the two flat surfaces so it would tighten up better or find a piece of 7/8 o.d. aluminum tube and cut it to length, then split it in two so each piece could rest in the original bore on those. I guess I was lucky that the bars were 1". Never thought about crash bars only being 7/8"

    those are a lot more adjustable for pitch and yaw, but as you said, a lot more $$$

    I have a set of boards sold by JC Whitney on mine, they were just the ticket for my 1700 mile one day. The square stalks fit into a square hole that is adjustable at every 22.5º. ride.http://www.jcwhitney.com/FOLD-UP-HIGHWAY-FLOORBOARD-SET/GP_2006697_N_111+10211+600014704_10111.jcw
