    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.

    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.

    re: Mariner fan Buy a BIG bag of leather chew bones, and distribute them everywhere. I had good success teaching my pups that the chew bones were ok for chewing and eveything else was off limits. (It mostly worked).

    If you get into the median at high speed, chances are you're going to be toast, anyway you slice it...

    This is a good thread to bring back to the top for those members on another active thread who are claiming valve adjustment never needs doing. And thanks for the valve adjustment spreadsheet Swifty.... Question. Were you able to reuse the valve cover gaskets, or did you really need new ones? Use of gasket cement / Permatex ?

    Good to hear you made it back ok.

    Y'all move around fast. Glad you made it home ok. I guess we're waiting to hear where the moving truck is going to take you...

    Lets see. I think have a -few- cans of the tasty Ham and Lima beans c-rations saved away somewhere... Where did I put them?

    Checking the clearance to determine if they are all fine isn't very complicated. Doesn't take the special tool or any shims. Just a set of wrenchs and a set of feeler gauges. Probably could be done in an hour. See the writeup that V7goose did a few weeks ago. However, if they aren't within tolerance and you've checked them wo the tool and shims on hand, then you either need to leave it apart while you order them, or put it back together, order, wait, and then do it again. The second time will likely go faster The possible consequences of the valves -maybe- being out of spec aren't pretty. I had it happen once to a Honda MC, it was a lot of time, work, & expense to get it right at that point. It was educational, however. Hopefully I never have to use the shim tool I bought, and my heirs can play tiddly winks with the valve shims one day.

    Motus have been working on their V4-powered sport-tourer since March 2008. ‘Our V4 engine and proprietary chassis designs are currently underway with highly respected automotive engineering partners. The design calls for a comfortable, lightweight machine that blends American muscle performance with proven range-extending technology. The focal point for the Motus bike will be our engine. We believe the engine will be completely unexpected and completely different than anything currently available,’ says Brian.

    I have a kit of shims and the tool. Just got the shims yesterday. I haven't adjusted the valves on my bike yet (at 8,000 miles), but used to do this on some older machines. I'll clean off a spot on my carport if you want to work here.

    I had similar front brake noises that started on my trip to the International rally in Arkansas. It seems to have cleared itself up. I asked a couple others about it, and they suggested I picked up a grain of sand or spot of tar/grease on the pad that might wear itself off soon. It did. But I first closely examined my pads to make sure they were still thick enough.

    It sounds like there isn't going to be a magic pill.... Hang in there. We're with you on this.

    No, but he was holding a martini glass...

    Thanks for the warning. I'll keep a close eye on the limbs. I also have a Bear compound bow, but think my rt arm would qualify for a waver even if Georgia didn't allow everyone to use them (as of a couple years ago).

    Jeff, I understand the Marines have some motorcycles in Afganistan for recon work. Seen one of these? http://www.dieselmotorcycles.com/images/L_JP8_military.jpg
