I have dabbed straight Clorox on oozing poison ivy. It dries it out. Also Aveeno oatmeal soap. They sell a bath to soak in & a soap bar to wash with. BTW that's not too bad...you should have seen the fiasco I had.

Randy I usually have Internet Explorer, FireFox & Chrome all loaded into my pc. I have found that some websites work best with Chrome. Yahoo works best with Firefox. Everything sucks on Internet Explorer. I'm currently upgraded to Windows 10 on my laptop from 8.1 which made it a lot better. There is a new app called Internet Explorer Edge which works pretty well, yet I STILL have Internet Explorer, FireFox & Chrome all loaded into my pc. BTW how much Ram is in your computer?

Well the bike has been sitting since the last posted fill up...as of today I STILL have a full tank of gas. I HATE THE GREMLIN!

Now I ask because I have no clue but, wouldn't the above scenario, be accompanied by a strong gasoline odor in a closed attached garage?

She's due for an oil change anyway so I will check it out!

Bike sat locked in my garage, locked & capped, I filled the CB750 on that same day a month ago, no issues, It's not my kid as he has my credit card for gas & uses my wife's car. All my vehicles have locking caps, I have a home security system & my bike has an alarm system. I filled it yesterday (still full) and there is no significant smell of gasoline in the garage. Yeah, that made everything even MORE confusing

Since the Gen 1 are not gravity fed (electric fuel pump) & the carburetor is a good 18 inches ABOVE the fuel pump, even with the petcock open (which it always is) I surmise the fuel would not be able to travel UP to the carbs. Now if it would have been my 81 CB750, I would say it would be a good possibility. As far being cautious before starting her, I'm afrad that ship has sailed as she has been out every day this week!

New plugs replaced at the beginning of last season. Gas mileage she does fine. I get around 43mpg hywy & about 34 city. This gas just DISAPPEARED while sitting in my garage a month

Ok so I filled it up today. The gauge was at 1 bar but would occasionally bump up to 2 bars The fill up was 3.2 Gallons & I could see the fuel just below the neck after letting it settle through the baffles when I capped it

Bob she wasn't down that long only about a month. (not by choice but by snow) I ride all year round. I would guess that a possibility but my CB750 is still filled.

I haven't filled it yet (after a 73 degree day today it will be snowing tomorrow, go figure) So not sure yet. I replaced all my fuel lines last summer & replaced the filter & clamps as well.

Parked on the center stand. Well if it IS the float then if I fill it I should still have about 4 gallons in the tank right? Oh yeah I do have a teenager but he has my credit card for gas. I did consider a "senior moment" but I checked my credit card statement & saw that I filled both bikes on the same day. Damn curious thing.

Yeah it's weird, The float is accurate. Normally when the bike is in use I get about 200 mile on a tank consistently. It's been sitting awhile because of the snow, which it usually is always in use. May b a leak into the carbs but then wouldn't she be hard to start being flooded? Maybe a better petcock (1st gen's suck) may be in order to shut the fuel when not in use

Ok I have a mystery on my hands & need ideas. I have 2 bikes (My Venture & a CB750 ) I filled both tanks over a month ago. Today I took a ride on my Venture & noticed the gas gauge is down to 2 bars above empty with only 49 miles on the trip odometer (The CB750 is still full with 30 miles on its odometer) My bikes are parked in my garage, I am NOT leaking gas at all, SO where did my gas GO??? I have new lines, new clamps, no weeping. Is it plausible that it has been evaporating via the gas cap not sealing right anymore?

David I agree but I also did not fine tune the camera with the setup utility. I see it does have a rather good selection as well as automatic low light adjustment etc. It's a small application found here. http://www.mytempfiles.info/mobius/mSetup.zip This is also where you set up the 190 degree rotation as well as the loop recording & clip sizes

SilvrT, yes it actually records audio very well, I just overdubbed a soundtrack as to not have you guy endure the ramblings of Nintendo Amebos from my kid

Just a quick clip of a 2 hour recording just to show you the recording quality. (Bear in mind I mounted the camera too low on my winshield) The FOV on 1080p in 110 degrees. I chose this segment because it will show how it handles light changes ehen entering the garage from a cloudy day. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rcUHacUjBU

REALLY? Then Dude...you should get a real big kick from this rig!

I just started getting into it, I just picked up a little drone to practice on. It has a built in 1080P camera. It was fairly cheap so I can afford to crash it to death. (I am finding out the drones are not as easy to fly as they look.) The last time I flew a toy plane I was 12 and it was a WW2 German Focke-Wulf FW-190...unfortunately I'm so old RADIO control wasn't invented yet LoL. It was a nitro powered 1/6 scale plane on a string that I would fly in a circle!

I have found THE perfect motorcycle dash cam. It's called a Mobius. It is the size of a tic tac box. It's 1080P, records onto a micro SD card, (both audio & video) it will record while plugged into a USB power outlet (not on PC) it will record in incremental clips of all 5 min 10 min 15 min etc, it will record on a loop replacing the 1st clip when the card is full. it records in low light, fully customizable & it is comparable in video quality to a $400 GoPro Hero 3 for $80 bucks. You can get various accessories for it including waterproof cases, suction cup mounts etc. Awesome camera. I found out about it from the R/C Forums. I just picked it up & I am pretty impressed. I have attached the owners manual and the link to their website, although this camera can be found on Amazon & Ebay as well. Thought I would share it with the club. https://www.mobius-actioncam.com/ Mobius-Manual-23jan15a.pdf

Ok so The seat arrived today. VERY Nice job! When I installed it & sat on the bike I immediately saw the ride height difference. I put her up on the center stand & sat down, it was very comfortable, the seat cradled me. I put my feet up on the highway bar pegs & I did not feel the tightness in my back that I felt with the original seat. Now mind you some may say it could all be in my head but I did a side by side comparison as I have an 83 parts Venture which still has the unaltered OEM seat on it, & it is DEFINITELY better. The real test of course will be on 4+ hour rides. The Mrs. & I have some trips planned for this spring & summer & I will post my commentary on how it does on a long haul! All in all I'm VERY happy with it! & the cost was inexpensive compared to buying a Corbin or a Russell seat! So to anyone thinking about it - DO IT!

I feel your pain Rusty. I've tried but without luck. Only thing that works is a tiny tiny bungee

So my seat should be coming home soon. (I asked Rick not to rush) So once it's back I will post a review, not only from me but from the wife's perspective.

Absolutely! As many on here know I kinda go overboard on being detail oriented LoL I will definitely post a report on the results of the mod!

Well after talking to several members who have given their unanimous endorsement, My 84's seat is on it's way to Rick Butler for modding! I honestly don't know what I would do with my Venture if not for the members here. BEST $12 buck a year I EVER spend. Thank you all for you help!~ Andy
