    Thats a good idea I never thought about that, I work with a volunteer fireman and EMS I will ask if they have any or where to get them. Found these online http://www.firstaidsigns.com/First-Aid-Signs/First-Aid-Kit-Inside-Sign/SAF-SKU-S-1780.aspx http://www.firstaidsigns.com/First-Aid-Kit-Label/First-Aid-Kit-Inside-Label/SKU-LB-1491.aspx

    Took my folks to the one in Siekston Mo. (the first one) and when the guy threw a roll at Dad he threw it back. Oh and don't forget the pot passers and sorgum

    We had dead squrill or rat or something clog a vent pipe once and caused the smell to back up into the house.

    Good for you. I made up a bunch of the bussines cards but it seems like I never have them on me when I meet another Venture Owner.

    Don’t' Trust PO mods Had a very interesting start to my day today, I did my normal routine checked tires, lights, etc fired the bike up and headed off to work. I was got about half a mile away and my bike just went dark and I could smell something burning scary thing at 55 miles an hour in heavy traffic. After sitting on the side of the road for a few minuets the bike came back to life and I was able to start it and get back home. When I got home I pulled the seat to find out the fuse block the PO but in had shorted against the frame and had melted the positive wire. After I finished removing the battery leads and made sure nothing was on fire I hopped on my other bike and headed to work. Firts Aid Kit You would think that this would have been enough for one day but no about half a mile from work I came upon a motorcyclist down he was scuffed up but nothing apparently serious. I stopped helped him out, did not have to use my first aid kit but I was sure glad I had it. Seems like a car ran him off the road and took off, I just could not believe nobody had stopped before I got there.

    My problem is if I am at a PGR event that has a flag line I am in it.

    They do have them for that every now and then. Go look at a hot rod or bike magazine and you will find one.

    You hit in on the head, the leak was at the very bottom of the valve stem and with the bike flat on the ground I could not see the bubbles so I jacked it up and soaped it down good and I could barley see bubbles coming out. I loosened the nuts and re tightened them a couple times till I got it to stop leaking. I will see how much air I have in the morning to see if it really worked. I should have replaced it when I had the tire off but since it is metal I did not. I think that since the rim was so corroded I jumped to conclusions it was worse than the front pictured. But I will tell you what a great group of folks we have on this forum, I got calls text and post offering parts and help no more than an hour after I posted.

    I tried soaping it on the bike but that did not work too well, I will pull it off tonight. I put 48 punds in it last night and this morning it had 18 so it's going down pretty quick. I have not rode it since I discovered it going down.

    I put a new rear tire on last week and found that the inside of the rim was coated with some sort of black stuff that had left corosion on the inside the rim so I cleaned the rim off with a brass brush and soap and water and there were some pretty good pits. Everything seemed ok after the tire was mounted but after the first ride it is leaking about 30 pounds a day. I am thinking maybe if I break the bead and reset it that may take care of the issue, I had thought about ride on but I was told it was no good for sealing around the rim. If this does not work does anyone have a spare rear wheel for a 2nd gen they would part with cheap?

    The first place I ever run into this I was looking at a 25,000 dollar bike, had cash in hand and they said no test drives so I said lets go to the Yamaha Dealer.

    Not required to remove the disc, however make sure you do not lay the wheel down on the disc you can warp them.

    So all you need to do is get a router and some media convertors, lay a 6 mile fiber (about a buck a foot) run between your two houses and he will be good to go.
  18. etcswjoe
    I am surprised no one in your area offers a fiber solution.

    need help

    etcswjoe replied to kwisor's topic in Watering Hole

    Did you check your fuel line from the tank to the filter and from the filter to the carbs for leaks or kinks/pinches?

    Have you thought about riding the Dragon since you will be right there at the bottom?

    need help

    etcswjoe replied to kwisor's topic in Watering Hole

    Was it running fine before you replaced the filter or is that why you replaced the filter?

    Playboy not everyone is a gluten for punishment like we are. 400 miles is a good relaxed day for me don't know how much longer my body will let me do that. When are you doing this, I have been thinking about taking a week off and just heading out myself.
