    I will tell you that if solid state electronics take a voltage spike, it may be a while before they completely fail. Experience learned in large computer rooms. Very hard to track problems like that.

    This is turning off the browser's blocking of malware sites, which seems dangerous to me.

    Curtis, Great news...... Lets Ride.

    Sounds fair. Or you could borrow a shim kit and tool from several people here on the forum and do it yourself.
  9. RandyR
    Yep. Good lesson. Thankfully you're able to tell it.

    Lets hope NTSB doesn't read this, or we'll all have to wear orange life jackets next year while riding... Get well soon...

    thx. It looked like it -might- be ok to reuse the old gasket, seeing how heavy it is and the low torque used with the valve covers. Probably a good idea to have a new one on-hand, just in case though.

    Its not unusual for one cyclinder in any multi cyclinder engine to need rings, while the others are ok (or better). I agree, the oil test you did is a good indicater of a rings problem, as you surmised already. But, you should check the valves too, just to be on the safe side. Same valve shims and tool for the 1st gen as 2nd gen (and vmax too). I wonder if the rings from the 2nd gens would work on the 1300cc 1st gens? they seem to have the same bore/stroke. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?threadid=39054 btw, I see a couple minor errors in this table.

    me too. Would have liked to have been there but I had a prior commitment. Glad it worked out... so who has the pictures?

    I camped out there numerous times in the 60's while in highschool and college. Its a beautiful place with good riding nearby. the downside would be that because it is a popular destination closer to St. Louis, it will be more crowded, and so will the roads.

    Horses are great, even if they are tempermental. Glad you're 'mostly' ok. Yep, broken ribs do hurt.

    Well, Ole Jay has one in his garage now.... isn't that nice... do a promo shot with Triumph marketing and get paid in iron !!! I saw a non-running prototype with the Triumph demo truck about 4 months ago, and was disappointed because I wanted to try one out. But I have the RSTD now and am generally happy with it. The price on the new Thunderbird isn't going to be much less than the RSTD, and by the time you add bags, windshield and sissy bar, you're over the price of the RSTD. I haven't ever owned a belt driven bike, but I'd almost give the nod to a belt, all other things being equal.

    I used to use these when ice fishing, works great...

    May the future generation of Americans earn the sacrifice you made for us.

    I'm ok with the heat. July & August are ok.

    I have a pair of down lined ski mittens (no fingers) that work well. Ski clothing works well down to 20F.

    Nice possum... What were you using for bait?
  23. RandyR
    yep. It appears to be one of the differences between the RSTD and the RSV. emergency flashers are good to have. I want to add some extra LED lights to mine, and this thread has me thinking that I should add a flasher to the circuit.

    sweet....

    Put the bikes in the storm cellar....... Just kidding. I hope everyone's family is safe.
