Mike I may look at what the summer break looks like for work. Just starting in Aug for fall semester I really have no idea what days I get for summer vacation. But I have looked at the area and looks pretty cool fro riding and things to do

The TD being it has the same lowers as the RSV should be good. I have an RSV currently and the wife gets air but not the kind that bounces her head around. We swapped to Sena headsets here a couple months ago and still fine tuning them to our needs. The OEM intercom was OK but had to put mic mutes on them to keep the whoosh from driving you batty. But turbulence is not a big factor on either bike from what I have heard.

Puc- Many of the small 4 cyl cars of the late 70's had those split bore design. A primary and a secondary. I think the Ford Fiesta, Dodge Omni, maybe the VW Rabbit. I raced a Omni on circle tracks, the problem with the particular year one I had was the carb also had a computer controlled electronic circuitry built in. Best guess I had was once I had modified it the carb went in to a "limp mode" and you could turn the mixture screws in all the way and still run. So I put a small Ford 2 bbl (holley looking knock off) on it. I had to make jets for the thing to get it to not run so rich. Even then it was rich enough when you got to the end of the straight and lifted It would bellow a big ole blue flame out the tail pipe 2ft or more.

It seems every couple years I have to go thru the insurance shuffle. I have had the lizard, Nationwide, back to the green guy via AARP, and a couple years ago Dairyland came up with the winning price. Probably another one or two in there I dont remember.

Mike there were cabins listed for the Venture deal last year, right? Plus motels in local area I'm sure.

All 3 national divisions now use a tapered spacer vs the flat plate with smaller holes than the throttle plate. It actually works much better for throttle response as it is tapered like a funnel so fuel get down it instead of the flat plate that made aire go every which way and killed throttle response.

Short trips are not great on batteries either. 3 or 4 starts in 10 miles or so causes voltage drain and not much time to recharge. Dont think this is your total issue, just for for thought.

Diesel takes less refining than gasoline. So why is it more? Because they can. Maybe thats how Exon and them are making up some of the slack from low gas prices.

Here is a Holley TBI. Might be expensive, but should do the trick.

LOL thanks.

Glad to hear people are OK. Sucks for your loss, and hope for the best. Its really tough for a small business to have something like this happen.

Here is American By ways

OH MAN I cant believe someone missed the opportunity. Easy way to drain the tank. Insert key, start bike and ride. In about 2.5 hours the tank will be empty.

E-bay can be your friend also. http://www.ebay.com/itm/2x-3-OHM-50W-Wirewound-Aluminum-Housed-Resistor-50-Watts-/271123010581?hash=item3f2030d415:m:m3xUzqrzbze60PX6kn_jQEg

Ben in my "Favorites" bar for a long while.

Works is pretty pricey. I think close to $700 or more. The Hagon is in $400-450 range I believe. Both are a rebuildable shock and when you call them the custom build to your needs. NO replacement shock has the air adjust ability as far as I have seen. Why I dont know. With the availability to remotely hide a air reservoir like on dirt bikes you would think they could.

But.....It didnt help shock life at all from what I have read/heard. Its a roll of the dice how long it lasts.

If it is not the hose to add air to rear shock, then it must be the belows vent hose they added thinking some how that would help the rear shocks live.

Anybody who lived out in Texas or Oklahoma in the 70s or 80s heard his commercials for Southerlands. Whaoo Shoutherlads.

I think he was the guy that did the Southerlands lumber yard commercials out west.

That aint nothing brother. Ask anyone who has lived in southwest Oklahoma or northern Texas. If you dont get $1000 bucks of hail damage a year its been a good year. I have walked out to car before when there and it was like walking on marbles. It will scare heck out of you while driven, especially if you happen to get caught on the scoot in it. then your looking for cover.

OH man. Actually my brother was the one to kind of make me "widen" my horizons on music. I had lived with him a bit when I was about 14. I was pretty much a Grand Funk Railroad fan, Alice Cooper, Hendrix. My brother was a teen in the 50's and didnt really car for the music at that time. But on road trips when we were in Mich we listened to all sorts of stuff. Do Wapp, Rock, surf music, big band, swing, and some cat by the name of Stevie Ray Vaughn. I really dig the blues most now I think. So the question was what music or artist might surprise you all? Alecia Moore, just really like her energy and range. Here is a link

Yea Rick, and I guess we need to remember we are buying parts for "classics" not made anymore and parts are getting thin from dealer.

I have had god luck with Fords and MOPAR. Not a big GM fan and it goes back when I first started driving. I have owned a few, and it seems more issues with them than my others. Maybe just luck of draw or they just didnt like me. LOL Had a Buick Regal Turbo Coupe like about a 78-80. Turbo ate the bearings up, killed the seal and with direct oiling to the turbo bearings, well the turbo sucked the oil up pushed it into the cylinder and hydro locked the motor. Kit/nightrider vintage Firebird. Had like 3 or 4 rear hatch electric pull down motors replaced, trans seal blew out with couple thousand miles on it. Maybe nit picking but for some reason I remember the problems on the GM's and only a couple on all the others.
