    Just for those who may not totally understand amps . think of it as a 5 gal pail compared to a 4 gal pail if all you need to carry is 3 gallons due to low demad (eg Fewer lights) both pails will do the job but if you need to carry 4 and 1/2 gallons due to high demad (eg more lghts) at a time only the 5 gallon pail will do the job, because the smaller pail would overflow.

    ! did that and I found my signals definitly flash much smoother:rotfl::rotfl:

    I see this all the time working on transport trucks . the cause is almost always bad ground and so the light trys to get ground through the other lights. this cause a sort of feed back which in affect cancels out the other light. check and clean all your ground connections to the signal lights. a simple quick test to verify it is run a wire form bat neg to the ground side of the signal light. If it starts working normal you know for sure there is a ground issue in your signal light circuit

    Oh yeh that . There was a line up of tractor trailer's (they were huge vacume type tanks) the women there told me that there were huge coolers full of ice cream that had to be evacuated because if the melted icecream ran out it would become toxic. Kinda made me wonder what we are eating. Carl has an explanation but i will let him tell it if he so wishes.

    I was glad However That Big Tom was not with me yesterday. I realy not sure how would have been able to deal with a large man crying. The pic's should explain. This is or was Chapmans icecream factory the building was 125 years old and this week it burnt down. when I stopped and took these pic's smoke was still coming from the ashes.

    While out riding yesterday, a guy aproached me and asked if I would be interested in a 2003 midnight venture royal star With 13,000km on it. I think he said he would like 12,000 CDN for it but I am not 100% sure. In any case I told him I would post it on our web site. I also gave him my e-mail address so he could send me some pics. His reason for parting with it is that he went back to a sport bike, that the venture was just too tame for him ( he should have got a 1st gen). His name is RON his contact info is op_eng@hotmail.com and his phone number is 519-377-2734

    Those aluminum buss bars often used in panels are bad for that. I have seen it happen more than once. Often if the location where the box is it is damp. over the years this dampness create oxidation often at the connections to the bar. As the oxidation increases so does the resistance in the connection to the buss bar. As we all know resistance causes heat ( which by the way can also be caused by loose or poor connections) and in these types of breaker panels (or fuse panels that still exist) this heat gets hot enough to melt the aluminum buss bar. Replace the panel with a new one and don't try to save money here get a good quality panel. Also if it is mounted to a concrete wall mount it on a platform spaced off the wall with a vapour barrier between the wall and the mounting platform.

    I some times use one of those workplace wrap around back supports when my back bothers me and it works great for me, and since it is wrap around it acts as a kidney belt as well. Get the one with the open mesh so you don't overheat.

    Hi Reiny I'll take all that stuff off your hands (providing it hasn't already been spoken for). Never know when it might come in handy. I,ll either use it for my own bike or store it in case someone else ever needs it, in which case i would not charge them for it either ( it would be a shame to toss it). I am off all week as well but will only be around home untill thusday, so I can just ride up and get the stuff any agreed upon day. just pm me your address. Even later on today if thats conveinent.

    Might make it yet. Seems my departure for Highland IL ( which is close to St Louis) may be delayed a few days. If so I may just be able to sneak in one more ride before I head off for the midwest
