What is that state farm does for SS? Although I have a policy with SF they don't have any of my bikes or even the car.

It's just not the same...

Anyone up for riding the abandoned rail line west of St Thomas? (I talked about doing this earlier but infact I didn't have my bike sorted - the new stator and R/R just arrived so this coming weekend should be no problem.) Obviously being an old rail line this is no Ganny single track but I saw...

I had BTs on my FZ6 and had no issues - it's you.

+1 on Macdocs suggestion of the Big Mac. The deck of the bridge is partly steel mesh and it's neat to see the water down below. If you take that route consider following 23 south thru Michigan. It's scenic and you pass a number of old light houses that you can tour including going up and out...

Thanks Nobbie. Turns out I have a very loose interpretation of private property, I forget how many abandoned buildings and houses I've been in (trespassed??). I used to go 4 wheeling up north to explore ghost towns but you need to travel so far to get to the few remaining decent sites. Thanks...

Sorry MacDoc but planes in a building still rate a pass. Roomie, Centralia is neat and if you get a good start you can be there by mid afternoon.

The liquid hardener should work since both bondo and fiberglass resin are polyester based. The benifit of the creme hardener is the color change as you noted. As you likely learned by now the secret to applying bondo is just like that of drywall mud - numerous thin coats and minimal sanding...

When the Squeeze and I plan a trip we usually research ghost towns** and other interesting sites along the way. Good examples would be the burning ghost town of Centalia PA, the Kinzua bridge collaspe site and the Fugitive train wreck site in Dillsboro NC. Staid sites like museums and historical...

+1 , Let it soak in for a few minutes and then go at it with a clean rag. May require a few applications.

The last time I was out to Dover (3-4 years ago) I left just after dusk and passed a huge field filled with tents and bonfires. Since the Paris Vintage rally has changed it's weekend a number of us thought we would go to Dover on Friday, camp there Friday night and then head over to Paris...

PROBLEM SOLVED! Like my wise friend Brian says it's usually something small. I checked the alternator wires for resistance and they were good. Then I checked res from the red & black back to the battery and only one was good. Found some wire with good sized connecters from an old dryer...

Thanks all, Steve I'm not sure what rpm - just a good twist of the wrist, maybe about half to 3/4 throttle. I'm trying to hold a lead on each terminal and crank the throttle at the same time so specifics are a bit sketchy. MXS thanks for the link I'll work thru that. I plan to redo the check...

No worries Wasted. I loaded up my bike and headed to a test & tune not knowing anything more than I always wanted to try it. You watch a few others and then off you go. It's no more difficult than taking off quick from a light (who hasn't had an impromptu run from the light against some muscle...

A few summers back the Squeeze & I rode up thru Michigan, crossed the mighty Mac and chased ghost towns in the upper peninsula for a few days before coming home via the Soo and the CheCheman. We were in Michigan about a half hour from the border at the Soo. We had no reservation so we got on...

I managed to get hold of Brian Helliwell and he told me how to find a rail trail that heads west just outside of St Thomas. He says its a good ride that we can follow almost as far west as Rodney. I viewed a couple videos he posted on the ODSC site and it looks like fun. That said its an ex rail...

My 2004 DRZ400 wasn't charging. My multimeter was showing the exact same reading 12.5v with the bike off as it did with it running at 1/3 - 1/2 throttle. Before I bought the bike some spilt gas caused a minor fire that melted some of the harness but the bike still fires up and runs good. I...

The rear caliper on my 86 gl1200 is dragging just a bit. Went out for 30km ride and when I got back the rear disc was hot. Not scalding like a header pipe near the manifold but hot enough that you couldn't touch it for more than a second or two. Both front discs were ambient. I think the...

Indeed Iceman. I was just lurking there and it looks like a Brian Helliwell is the guy I need to connect with. He led a run from Ingersoll down to Turkey Point and another out Ridgetown way along an old rail trail. I'll try to get hold of him and if he can't lead a run then he likely has some...
