  1. I'm in Dahlonega, GA about 45 miles due west of Clarkesville. There are LOTS of very good roads in the area, particularly north and west of Clarkesville. A good loop would take you north to Moccasin Creek State Park, then Unicoi State park, Brasstown Bald and Richard-Russell Parkway, GA 160 to Suches, and lots of ways to go from there. Give me a shout when you know your schedule, and we can ride together a day.
  2. Sounds like your carbs are set up the way they should be. ride it.
  3. The Corps of Eng is going to open the Morganza spillway to divert floodwaters from the Mississippi west of Baton Rouge and New Orleans starting this afternoon. A quick check of LA DOT conditions shows many roads closed already due to flooding. Travelling on I10 may become iffy as the waters rise west of New Orleans towards Lafayette.
  4. wierd. Never seen pie with pickles on it like that before. Must be a Texas thing?
  5. any day now !!!!
  6. Last year I test rode three Triumph Bonneville models one day. America, SE, and T100. I prefered the SE because it felt nimbler. The America had a more comfortable cruiser style seat, but I wasn't looking for a long range MC, having both my Venture and RSTD. If I had the money to spend, I would buy an SE for the above reasons, which may not be yours. Triumph has a demo truck which sets up at various dealers and MC shows, check the Triumph web site for where the truck will be for an actual ride.
  7. I rode my 65 Honda 305 Superhawk from St. Louis to Temple TX in 1968. Headed for Ft. Hood which was only another 40 miles. I was so tired I almost fell over and couldn't make it the last hour ride that night.
  8. sick.....
  9. I just talked to Ray again. Nothing new on the DOT maps. Some fog around Poplar Bluff, but hopefully that will burn off by the time he gets there. Flood warnings for the St. Francis River which he has to cross, but US 60 looks open.
  10. Thankyou for contributing to the programmer's beer fund....
  11. bite him.....
  12. I heard a rumor there will be a frozen daiquiri machine in one of the cabins. And the DQ is next door.
  13. He's SCR***D. I55 south of Sikeston is flooded. I55 North to St. Louis is flooded. According to MoDOT map at http://maps.modot.mo.gov/timi/ He needs to take US 60 west to Poplar Bluff, then US 67 S to Little Rock. Then he's on I40. It'll be a zoo with all the truckers trying to get around the flood too. I'll call him. Talked to Ray. Told him what the DOT maps are showing. he's going to call me again in the morning and I'll double check to see if anything has changed.
  14. don't touch it....
  15. I40 westbound is closed in Arkansas due to flooding. http://www.arkansashighways.com/
  16. He might be better off crossing the river at St. Louis and taking I44 to I35
  17. sounds good so far. prayers for a quick recovery sent your way.
  18. I wonder if Steve Wagner is making pink radiator grills ?
  19. http://www.mikuni.com/pdf/hs40_manual.pdf A mikuni manual that talks about carb tuning. Not our carb model, but the theory should be the same.
  20. makes me wonder if the carb jets are right?
  21. Annie, Isn't it time for you to be heading to airport????
  22. Look for an article by V7Goose on how to drain the cooling system. I think its in the 2nd Gen Tech Library. Never had problems with the rear caliper cover, so I'm not sure may be the problem.
  23. its not
  24. I think there may be a retainer for the brake line that needs to be removed too.
