Has anyone ever had a problem with their bike cutting out at wot? Mine runs good up to reline as long as I don't go to wot. It feels like it has a rev limiter at about 5500 rpm. It has no jerking or missing just feels like it falls on its face. I have checked everything except this vacuum timing sensor. Where is it located? Curtis Traylor

On Wednesday, 8/22/12, our son Dan is moving out to attend Southeast Technical Institute in Sioux Falls, SD to study auto mechanics. Doreen and I are both saddened by this and at the same time very happy. Dan has a good head on is shoulders and we did the best we could to prepare him for the "Real World" out there. Sioux Falls is only an hour drive from Madison and he will be coming back most weekends, if nothing else to see his girlfriend and do his laundry. Hope he has some time for a ride while the weather permits. I already have standing orders to ride his Nighthawk once in a while just to keep it limbered up. He has plans to eventually open his own shop and is thinking about calling it "BENDT RODS". Stay Safe, Dave

A rider died today in Sioux Falls. The accident happened last night, there were 5 vehicles involved. The driver that caused the accident tried to run and was caught. He spent his 21st birthday in jail today. The driver was doing 60 mph (in town) and texting when the accident happened at an intersection, and the biker was caught up in the accident. Sad sad day in Sioux Falls. As of right now 10:00 p.m., over 100 people are holding a candlelight vigil in the intersection as I am writing this. The police are still trying to get all the evidence together before reopening the intersection. PLEASE be careful out there people.......I am tired of watching and reading about things like this. I just wish people in cars were as careful as we are.

Spoke with him on the phone this morning bout 8:00 a.m. he said he was in Post Falls Idaho and heading to Salmon today. He said he needed to get a prepaid phone card and would try to call from Missoula Montana. I figure it should be about four hours from Post Falls to Missoula...conservative speed, then three hours from Missoula to Salmon. It is now nearly 6p.m. here in Salmon and we have not heard a word from him. His tracker says he has not left Post Falls... needless to say we are a bit concerned. If you have heard from Rocket, please give us a shout. Thanks, Erv

A buddy and I plan to head out on June 29 and head into Canada for a four day trip. We will cross in Windsor and take rt3 (Talbott Trail) to Niagara Falls the first day and then wing it from there. We plan to go north from the falls to a little town called McDougal, and them toward Sault St Marie where we'll cross back in to Michigan. I do hope to have time to make it the the PIE CO. in Traveres City MI. From anyone up there are there any must sees or roads to ride?

Looking for route options from Niagara Falls Canada to Pigeon Forge. The last time we toured down (for the Honda Hoot a few years back) we followed 219 (from just outside Buffalo) pretty much all the way. Round trip we are looking at about 7 days (to bad the Gap is outa commission, got my fingers crossed it will be clear by the second week in June..I hope). We are more interested in the sight seeing/twisty kinda routes than burning up the interstates(we tend to save that for the trip home). Any suggestions would be most welcome.

I'm getting ready to head to the airport for a trip to our corporate headquarters in Cannon Falls, MN. I will be in Minnesota today, Decorah, Iowa for 3 days then back at our main offices in Cannon Falls on Friday. Will return late Friday night. I will be checking in at night but will not be online as much or long as I usually am. Wish I had time to visit with The Owl and Juggler and others in the area but just won't be able to on this trip. Maybe next time. I'm giving you all the job of watching Mini Muffin while I'm away. I know it's a tough job and that is why I'm deputizing everybody.

Saw in another post that you work for Gemini Letters. Our son works as a graphic designer for Signs by Tomorrow in Cedar Falls, IA. He designed our letters for the outside of our office here and they are Gemini's. Nice product!!!

Just in case you see us on the road...Cathy and I are headed out this Friday with the RSV and Bushtec...Suamico WI to Galena IL and overnight in Rock Falls IL. Saturday, easy ride from Rock Falls IL to Cuba MO. And then Sunday Cuba MO to Lowell AR. We'll be in Lowell for the week. On Saturday of that week I'll head back by myself, likely freeway all the way. Since it looks like there will be less light than time it takes to get from Lowell to Suamico straight through, I'll probably stop in northern IL for the night and then backroad it up through WI to home on Sunday. We'll wave as we see you on the road. Curt & Cathy

The wife and I do an annual wedding anniversary ride. Last year we did Macinaw, year before that Serenity Springs, and this year is Niagara Falls. We are staying in the Embassy suites in Ontario. We are leaving from South Bend, IN. Trying to decide which is the better ride, taking the toll road stateside all the way there, or going through Canada. Does anyone have an opinion in either case - anyone have any suggestions, advice, good places to stop, etc? Thanks!

Is anyone familiar with the Sioux Falls, SD area well enough to recommend a clean, reasonably priced hotel in the area? Gonna be going through there next weekend, and hope to find something that's not gonna break the bank, and not come away with any additional "visitors" in my bags. Thanks.

I am way pumped for this trip.. old 83 is primed and ready to roll....:fingers-crossed-emo From what I see on the Glacier website, the Road to the sun is STILL not open all the way through... Anyone who lives in those areas got any great side trips.... I've got the time... Clay

And they say bikers take chances..........but not like this..........this is suicidal.................... In Zimbabwe , Africa, you will find the magnificent Victoria Falls , at a height of 128m. The location is known as the 'Devil's Swimming Pool'. During the months of September and December, people can swim as close as possible to the edge of the falls without falling over. These falls are becoming well known amongst the 'radical tourist' industry, when more and more people search for the ultimate experience. Would you dare?

I finally made it to Minnesota and have to say that I would be just fine going back home now. They don't know that winter is OVER. Got to the airport yesterday and found that my flight was not just delayed, but canceled. Ended up going back home and got a flight out at 6:30 this morning. Made it to our office in Cannon Falls around 10:30 this morning. Wish I had time to visit with Mr. Owl and Juggler and others in the area but my trips here are usually all business. If there are any members right near Cannon Falls I would be happy to meet for dinner or whatever one evening. Heading back home on Friday.

Holy **** that is about $240.00 plus shipping. Guess I know where my Christmas money is going So this is what is going on, the bike starts right up, idles fine, but when you go to rev it up, it falls flat on its face and sputtures, does this sound about right for a diaghagms issue Ok, guys let me have it, I need all the help I can get.......
