Friday evening I was watching Diners Drive-Inns and Dives and guess what? The last meet and eat we had at the Virginia Inn in Wakefield Virginia was on the show. Thanks Riderduke for picking such a great place.

Ok, I know this isn't a Venture but you all have played with other bikes in your days I'm guessing. I bought a '78 Yamaha 400 for $1. yup, ONE DOLLAR Got it running a few months ago and it is just the perfect Learner bike. Anyway the one issue that bothers me is the way this thing dives at the touch of the Front brake. I have already drained and filled the forks with 10-30 motor oil as recommended in the manual. Still dives. At that time I was surprised to find that the Springs pop out of the upper fork by about 1" telling me that they are not 'tired'. ( the bike has 8K miles on it.) So, any suggestions? I was thinking of preloading the springs with some PVC but I'm not sure I would be able to push it all down into the fork to get the Snap ring back in place that holds the whole mess together. Is this just the nature of these good ole' bikes?
