Something special about July 22nd ? Someone's birthday? Several NHL players were born on July 22nd.....https://www.hockey-reference.com/friv/birthdays.cgi?month=7&day=22 There is a movie called "22 July" about an attack in Norway... Other than that.....what is so significant about July 22nd ? 7/22/2019.....adds up 2048....

Glad you are okay. Hopefully the person that clipped you stopped.

Congratulations ! May you enjoy a long and healthy retirement !

Dave's last activity is 12-18-2018 09:29 AM but last post in 2014 when he had a rad leak on Roxie. From what I can see....he is still riding her.

Then the story continued into https://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?59487-Taking-off-the-exhaust-to-do-the-dealer-s-job

Your post made me curious as I couldn't remember the end to the story. There was a thread "So a man rides out of a dealership" .... I'm reading thru it now. https://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?59318-So-a-man-rides-out-of-a-dealership

Heard that some places won't get power restored until the 31st.

Welcome to the forum ! You'll find this site to be different than most other forums. When ChiefGunner referred you to the manual he wasn't being difficult....just pointing you to a source of info. You will get the odd joking comment but no nasty comments. What camera systems are you looking at? I like the idea of dual cameras for capturing video/images while riding. Would be interested on what your searching finds.

Talk with Freebird about being a vendor on here. I think that trial members have certain restrictions. Membership ($12/yr) allows you to post links, classifieds.

I've put a place holder in the calendar for the 2019 Ontario rally. July 18th to 21st. Location to be finalized

Merry Christmas !

Merry Christmas to all the members !!

Congratulations ! May you have a long and healthy retirement !

General things to check over the winter... (reminders) : 1) brake pads 2) date last changed fluids - brake, clutch, coolant 3) upper part of CB antenna - found out yesterday the set-screw on mine needs to be tightened 4) shifter bolt 5) 2nd Gen - windshield bolts 6) tire condition (screws, nails, cracking, mfr date) 7) battery state 8) spark plugs 9) saddle bag bolts 10) check air filters (K&N - condition) 11) oil/filter due? 12) rear gear oil due? . . . Other additions ?

Sorry....going to miss it this year. Family Christmas dinner.

In my thoughts !

My take : Shinkos E4's Venom and Cobra all seem to be high up there with Michelins and the newer dunlops close behind. - Dunlop are still the tire to go with Shell rotella and mobil 1 both seem to top everyone's lists for oil - Rotella T6 Ngk's seem far superior over everything else. Broview S7's as the led of choice (so far) technology changes daily on bulbs. - for run/turn/brake, Custom Dynamics. For passing lights the GE H7616. Headlight - I have an LED bulb from Amazon but not a "big name" one.

Let him know that he is in our thoughts !

I only did LED's on my rear turn signals (run/turn/brake). Per original instructions, only needed one stabilizer. I found I was getting fast blink on turn signals. I sent Custom Dynamics a diagram of my wiring and their suggestion was to have one on each side. I did this and my lights work fine ever since. I don't remember there being a diode. You probably know this but LED's have less resistance than incandescent bulbs. Without the stabilizer the bike "thinks" that a bulb is burned out.

Congratulations on your truck ! I bought a 2018 Toyota Tundra CrewMax Limited at the end of August. My first truck. After driving a Mustang GT (8 cylinder) for several years I didn't want to go back to anything in a 4 banger. Looked at the F150 in multiple engines and didn't like the power transfer to the wheels or noticed defects (steering shimmy which dealer said it would be fixed during dealer prep - sorry....I work at a Toyota factory and if it came out of the factory that way there is something wrong that dealer prep won't catch). I wanted something reliable and the Tundra was the best. The 5.7L engine will drive the truck 0-60mph in 6.3 seconds. Tons of room inside the cabin. You can manage your fuel economy by watching your acceleration from a stop, find the "sweet spot" speed/RPM.

I think you are right in suspecting ground or other electrical gremlins. If all is normal until you hit the starter then start tracing those wires. You might have a frayed wire that when you hit the starter it shorts out. See if there is a test for the starter itself. Haven't seen anyone post issues with bad starters but there is always the first one. Check electrical connection at this point since you hear the "pop" coming from this area.

Hope the surgery goes well !

I have about 94,000km (approx 58,000 miles) on mine and never checked the valves. Might be a Winter job if I get to it....and/or have help from someone I know. (Carl? )

Glad he is okay. Thoughts for our Southern riders and hope anyone in the path are okay. These "once in 100 years" storms will be more common now. Weather people were saying the Gulf was up to 6 degrees warmer than normal and that is why the hurricane picked up strength so quickly. Whether you acknowledge it or not, global warming is here and strong storms will be much more frequent. Arctic ice shields are getting smaller ... even a more permanent route for ships has opened up. Forest fires will get worse as they dry up from the warmer temperatures...

Must have been Gary N. with the truck system. Found it http://www.mountainmaster.net/motorcycleloadingsystem.html
