I just bought a new Bosch 3323 from Autozone and it's the convex typy, no workie. O'Rielly had the concave, works fine. Go figure. I now prefer the gaudy yellow Purolator filters.

I'm with Pants, need to clear Thursday and Monday. After all the rainy weather, I'm ready for some dry roads!

An event calendar would be nice. Something to view upcoming events by date instead of region. Lots (most?) of us ride out of the region in which we reside, so I'm surprised this hasn't been done already. Other forums I'm familiar with have their events posted on the main forum page in...

Sorry for your get off buddy. Sounds like this falls into the category of '**** happens'. I don't really feel like getting into the physics of residual heat and such, but it was 81 freakin' degrees here just a couple of days prior (and pretty near the melting point of lead for months before...

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.

Well, the idle was set a bit low, around 800rpm. I adjusted it up to 1100, will see in the coming days how it goes. thanks

Y'all are way to gracious to Pants. I taught him everything he knows. ;) Btw, we did have a fantastic week of riding, camping and feasting. Almost everything in the RR is true.

Thanks for the insight. I have to agree with the consensus. What's the old quote about "40,000 Frenchmen can't be wrong....." I forget. My gut feeling is it's nothing as serious as grounds or connections, since it only occurs from idle at restart. I've never had an issue while under way...

I guess I don't know the exact warm idle rpm. It can't be off very much, but I'll check this evening. I saw a few posts concerning that issue, but didn't think the symptoms matched. Thanks

I'm not much of a mechanic, so maybe somebody has seen this issue and can offer a diagnosis. My 2011 has this intermittent issue. Usually with warm engine, after a stop for lunch say, upon restart and brief idle period, applying very little throttle, the engine will just die. It's pretty...

Ok, before we lose track. Remember, we're talking about Louisiana. Where the politicians are colorful and .... creative. Why are the dead 'buried' above ground in south Louisiana? Because it's easier to get them to the polls.

Hint: it has to do with politics.

That's one explanation. Anybody know the REAL reason?

I'll find something closer if we go.

Remote possibility at this point, but... Is there a recommended camp ground in the area?

That was a very nice ride (and RR). Well, I should say: that was a very good "eat". More calories per mile consumed than I can remember! My sweetie and I enjoyed it all.

SoCal; Nice clean motel? Kind of an oxymoron isn't it. Anyway, no such thing within 100 miles or so from where we were. I understand if camping is not for you. My Dad refused to camp, but he "camped out" in the Philippine jungles of Leyte in 1944.

I think the research shows a 3 point lighting pattern is the most effective. The 2 extra points being aux lights of your choice mounted lower on the forks, usually in the fender mounting holes. I have Piaas but anything bright will work. The relatively inexpensive leds available now work...

SoCal; Camping is not difficult, uncomfortable or too hard on this "old" body. If you're feeling too old in your 50's, just end it now and not worry about the next 30 years of possible enjoyment. ;) With half decent camp sites, I can camp and ride indefinitely. The people that think...

I'll be ok. What's that smell?
