Dang I just scraped a frame. Had I known sooner I could have sketched up mounting point dimensions. Never fails no matter how long you sit on something its usefulness always crops up after you get rid of it.

Dr told me premature disinagration of bone material from too much exposure to sound level decibals of certian frequencies. Told me most probable source would be standing in front of someone with a pension towards speechafying. Said I best stand behind you from now on, instead of facing you. Heck I was surprised he even knew you.

No worries Jim. Never can tell what usefull info falls out of a hijack'n.

I may take you up on that since my shoulder crapped out too. I took bad fall some months back when one of the techs left an air brake drum right in front of the store room door. Not seeing it because I was carring something I tripped and fell and may have shifted my collarbone. For long time I could do nothing with my right arm. I'm getting an ultrasound in January to check that out.

Went to the doctor yesterday and so far sounds not bad. He seems to think that despite the fact that I've had on going knee issues, that it may still heal up to the point where I should not have any problems with the function of it other than some on going pain annd discomfort, which is fine since my I have been putting up with knee pain for some years now anyway, as long as I have my mobility. Time will tell I guess. I know knee replacement is a very likely hood down the road, since they have been deteriating for some years now, but no point in rushing it.

Thanks for the kind words all. Nice to know that some of you who have been through it already, were able to go back to riding. That is one of my biggest fears. Not aches, pains and discomforts. Nor the likely hood that knee replacement is probably going to be a certainty. But the fear that it might mean I have to give up riding motorcycles and horses, as well as canoeing and backpacking. At least you people give me hope that these things I so enjoy may still be possible.

So Saturday night the company I work for had their annual Christmas Party. The food was fantastic and the live band was outstanding not unlike the band playing at our WNY rallies. A great variaty of music from country to old and new rock was played and as many of you know I do love to dance, so I barely stopped dancing all night, doing waltz's 2 steps, foxtrots, jives and swings and some of those other ones, I guess for the lack of a better word, I will just call freestyle. All was going great when all of a sudden I felt my right knee pop and I near went down, which almost gave the phrase "how low can you go" a whole new meaning. Went to emergency the next day, were they did an ultra sound on my knee. This resulted in the ground breaking news of "Well Mr Bennink, You tore the Cartilage in your knee. So in one split second I went from twinkle toes to gimpy needing a cane to get around on. Of course I got the usual this is what sometimes happens when people over indulge at parties. Assuming she was referring to my having had too much to drink. I some what sarcastically asked her, so how much water should I have limited myself to, since that was all I drank the whole night. Too which she replied jokingly, well maybe a little would not have been such a bad idea. Hopefully it heals up ok since I am not ready to give up riding yet. Of course I am surfing the internet now looking for miracle cures which we all know do not exist, but one can hope. Right? I got to say though that poor leg has seen a lot of abuse from sports injures as a youth. That leg got injured so many times. twisted during high jumping competitions. It got side swiped by a tree during a motocross event through a bush course. Hung up in a stirrup as the horse I was working dragged me across a field were kids later found me unconscious. I once even rolle a skidoo were the leg got pinned between the body of the skidoo and the handlebar resulting in me roling with the skidoo insted of getting tossed free. I guess it was all bound to catch up with me sooner or later.

I too have paid up for a camp site.

Abdul's may be #194 , but it I thought he was referring to the Proud Old Fart

Not sure were you got that number from but its wrong @Marcarl's number is #244

Nice thing about this stuff when it comes to protecting electrical connections is, it works great on Low voltage connectors such as 5volt data link signal line were dielectric grease, Great as it is, can sometimes interfere with the electrical data signals in low 5 volt lines specially when its a data signal which fluctuates between 2-5 volts. Its safe on plastic, My garmin release got real sticky and difficult. I gave it a little shot of ACF 50 and instantly it worked even easier than when it was new. .

I can only guess, It had to come from someone who loves to see a good gathering of Venture Riders And feels waiting until spring is just too long a wait. Just the same, Don"t forget to RSVP on the calendar

Heck you think thats bad I supervise a bunch techs at the truck dealership I work at, that are just as well educated and some are even fully licensed. .

When I rebuilt my carbs I made up a tool that I could just pop it out from the inside. I made it in such a way that it allowed me to drive it out even though I had to drive at an angle without harming the crab body or needle seat. Than I just replaced the o-ring on it put it back in place and peened it with a center punch to lock it in. If I manage to find that tool in all my clutter I will post a pic.

Your next comment should have been WERE MY LIFE AND THIS ENTIRE BLOCK IS CONCERNED IT d@@ WELL IS MY BUSINESS. and under the circumstance angry yelling would have been more than permissible considering you were still alive and well enough to be able too. There is a reason why fuel trucks ground there units while loading an unloading fuel in order to prevent static spark.

I discovered another interesting tidbit of information about this acf-50 that I didn't know before but discovered while looking up a chart on Rust preventative and posting this link https://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?143806-Fluid-film That it was included in the military study on Rust preventative and that acf-50 also ranks among the top outranking both Krown and Rust Check.

Definitely a sad state of affairs for those of you who fought for freedom. I get that a few nasty things may have occurred over there involving a few soldiers but to paint the entire group of Men and Women who served in the name of freedom, with a brush tainted by a few bad apples was just totally wrong but not surprising since as most things, the strongest sentiment, and criticism always comes from the narrow minded and those sitting in comfort furthest from the situation. And how these second guessers always seem to have the strongest influence on public opinion. For all of you that gave up part of your life and to the families of those who gave up their entire life, Know that you have the utmost respect of this individual, who came from a family that was once occupied by the Nazi's. If no one had stood up to the Nazi's in WWII and subsequent attempted invasions of communist forces were would the free world be today?

Mmmm just a little too far to go for me to get ethanol free regular but thanks for the heads up kansa737.

Normally the 1st thing to look at but in this case, I did not include this in my suggestions because generally the "emergenc cu off swich" also prevents you from cranking the engine over and it was stated it cranks over but does not fire. BTW the copy paste works great on my comp. Sorry DragonRider you know I just had to jump on that .

True that but it is still always nice to know that there are others out there that still have beating hearts in their rib cages that haven't glassed over.
