  1. Forgot the Curtis Air museum Just south of Hammondsport. If you are here on a Saturday you have to visit the Windmill market It's full of all kinds of craft shops, including a leather shop. Just south of Penn Yan NY on rt 14a. Also the village of Skaneateles. Some of the richest people in the county live on Skaneateles lake. I think the Clinton's still have a place there? If you need anything in the way of tools and garage, just in case, your welcome to use mine. I have a m/c jack.
  2. WINERY'S! hundreds of them. If you do tour them, rent a limo so you can enjoy a bit of the grape. Then there's the gorge walk at The glen state park. Several water falls. Down town Ithaca. Hammondsport, America's friendliest little town. Ride the north side of Keuka Lake to get there. Ride around Seneca lake, great scenery. Ride rt 89 from Ithaca to Seneca falls, Another great lake ride. Stop in Seneca falls, also know as Bedford Falls, as in the movie It's a wonderful life. Also the women's rights museum. Let me know the dates you will be here, If I have any time off while your here maybe we can hook up.
  3. Also Watkins glen state park right there in town,
  4. Sampson state park. 30 min. north of the glen on rte 96a. About 15 min. from me. Also a KOA just south of the Glen on 414.
  5. 300 mph 1/4 mile in a funny car, 200 mph at Daytona in a stock car, 150 mph in a ocean racer, Cat shot off a aircraft carrier, 14000 mph space shuttle lunch. No jet fighter rides, I'd lose my cookies.
  6. Were you riding a HD at the time? You know how hot they can be.
  7. Onenut, looks like a good day to run the heck out of it. Let us know if it improves. If you want to ride it up here, we can put the carb tune on it. I will be home most of the day. Might go for a ride late this afternoon after robin gets out of work.
  8. Your not going to like this. I just looked at the water pump diagram, that tube is there to let you know your water pump seal is leaking. You said you started the bike for the tenth time this winter. How cold was it when you ran it? How long did you run it? It maybe leaking when you first fire it up because the seal has contracted due to the cold, then stops leaking when it warms up.
  9. I'm 57 yrs old, I've sailed the seven seas, I've seen and experienced many things. But the one thing I want to do more then anything else is to spend several years with Robin traveling north America in a toyhauler RV with the trike in back. Just cruis'n and chill'n.
  10. Welcome from one triker to another. There is a good number of RSV trikes here at VR. Some with the Tri wing kit, Several with the Hannigan kit and a couple with the motor trike kit. You should check out the triketalk site, you will find a few more there.
  11. Let me know when you want to put it on the carb tune. Just need to check my work schedule. My days off are all over the place. I work retail, my schedule sucks. I'm sure we can work something out.
  12. Fill your tank with fresh gas and half a can of sea foam then ride it like you stole it. If that fixes it then it would be a good time to sync the carbs.
  13. sounds like the soaks broke something loose. How long did the bike sit before you took ownership?
  14. Biggest reason is....:mo money:
  15. Tim, I have one. I live about 30 min. north of Ithaca. I don't think tuning the carb's will fix your problem. Sounds like something else is going on here. What have you check out to this point. Did you check for vacuum leaks? Did you clean the carbs and set the floats? Is the throttle linkage sticking? PM me, see what we can do.
  16. This from the guy who rides his bike in his slippers.
  17. Anyone interested in moving to the beautiful finger lakes NY area. I'll sell you my house. It comes with 6 straight months of cloud cover and freezing cold snowy weather. followed by 6 months of possible rain showers 6 days out of the week. Oh, and the one day it doesn't rain is not on your day off. other then that this is a nice place to live. I HATE COLD AND SNOW!
  18. Spring has been canceled due to budget cuts. Summer will be reduced to 4 weeks.
  19. I'm thinking miracle Gro.... I mean look how well it is doing with just water.
  20. OK, about 2 months back, my son and his wife moved out and left a couple of plants behind. So I noticed one of them was starting to loss its leafs. So I figure I would go ahead and take care of them till they came back for them. How the Heck Am I suppose to know one of them was fake? I was so proud of myself for doing such a good job... until I ask RR if she had been watering the plants because the one plant was over flowing with water.... Thats when I was informed it was fake.... Shes still laughing.
  21. That fake plants don't need to be watered:confused24:
  22. I feel your pain. congrates on your new job.
  23. Don... RR just gave you her famous high sign..... Now its pointed at me:shock3:
