    Supercross 2011

    Chad started his own team. I think it's called "CR22 Racing" Original! He will be on a Honda. I think he was very close on a contract with Troy Lee and when that didn't pan out he started his own team.

    FJRF009.0: Ground Spider Research

    I finally got some photos uploaded to computer. I don't have any photos of completed repair yet, but will post when I do. The shot of the male terminal block shows the damage of pin and wire of ground back to battery through the main loom. All the insulation is GONE! I was able to pull that...

    Supercross 2011

    Just two races at Anaheim this year. I think the third race is at Dodgers field. Should be an interesting venue. We make St. Louis every year...and this year, we are going to Las Vegas for the final! Should be a hoot!!

    Supercross 2011

    We are huge Windham fans here!! I think Stewart and Reed are healthy and ready to go! Jake Weimer broke his arm at RV's home track the other day, so he is out for a while. Never count RV out! Dungey is a big threat with his momentum going. Keep a eye on Canard and Grant!!! Should be fun!!

    FJRF009.0: Ground Spider Research

    The wire that runs into the main loom adjacent S4 is ground back to the battery. So the other pins coming in terminate at the spider and go out at that point to battery earth.(Info from Brodie) I pulled that pin from the male block and taped it off to the main loom...(just in case I end up...

    FJRF009.0: Ground Spider Research

    I had some very good fortune this morning. I was able to get the spider out of S4! I soaked the piss out of it with contact cleaner and was able to work it out. The pin that runs into the main loom for ground return was trashed...so I pulled it out of the block. From there I was able to...

    FJRF009.0: Ground Spider Research

    I started the installation of the Brodie harness today. S4 is completely BBQed. I'm not sure that I can do anything with or will have to snip and tie it ala Smitty 141. I did file my report today as well. (#10373304)

    Buell, how bad are they?

    My nephew has a XB12ss. He bought it new and follows the factory maintenance schedules. He has had zero issues with the bike. I have ridden the bike several times and it is an absolute hoot. Great low end grunt and handling. Buell was contracted to provide service and parts for seven years...

    Blue angels Homecoming show

    Fantastic Shots!! The "Blues" are always great to watch! It is really cool when the solo guys "tickle" the supersonic region on some of the high speed passes. The last time they flew at Spirit of St. Louis airport, we had just got back from Europe and were putting the airplane in our hangar...

    My first glitch!

    Thanks everyone! I wasn't leaning towards a spider issue because I had Smitty look them over earlier this year with no issues at that point. After a bit more reading on this fantastic! forum, I think I've been bit!!! The turn signal, highbeam isuues etc. firmed it up for me. :angry: All...
