If only I had waited…

There is a charcoal canister designed to reclaim the fumes from the tank, so as to not pollute the environment. If you keep doing that, over filling your tank, you will be in for a costly repair, when your charcoal canister is filled with fuel… DAMHIKT. The Car Car Nut has done a video on it as...

I saw one a day or two ago that got bolted to the floor underneath the driver’s seat mounting bracket.

Rhea, or Meigs County? My family of origin has roots all over Meigs County, and especially Decatur. A road, and a ridge are both named after them. When I was a young child, my family spent many weeks, of many summers, at Pete Smith’s Watt’s Bar resort. Ton’s and ton’s of great child hood...

That really sucks dirty pond water..

He wasn’t perpetuating a superstition….

Always a good idea..

I did that.. filled up the tank with 16.9 gallons, on my initial fill up. Early on, I had about 300 mile range when i filled up. Now, I routinely have slightly over 350 range immediately after I fill up.

If you EVER pull a trailer, use the highest octane fuel that you can.

Make sure his radar gun is calibrated properly. My bet is that a good GPS will be very accurate..

Or, if you look at the stable of cars in their garage, all are high performance ones, meant to pin you back in the seat. So, my guess is some of them are spooling up their turbo’s,.. a LOT. Spool up a turbo, and you just dump gasoline in to the engine. You can forget about getting good fuel...

We did some sightseeing yesterday, driving from Cherokee county NC, over to the Lost Sea Adventures, then to a restaurant for some BBQ, then to Watts Bar Dam, and on to Decatur, Tenn, and then back home. There were lots of going slow on windy roads, going up and down over the ‘mountains’, but...

The bike in my avatar photo.. A BMW R1200 GS Adventure.

No… you are NOT the only one!!!

It’s kinda feeding our OCD.. and gives us reassurance, in this day of YouTube, forums, etc, so that we can put our worry beads away. For a little bit anyway.

When I rode Gretchen (Avatar photo) out there, I was glad for all the protection that she had, that regular GS’s did not have. If I still lived out there, I would have nothing less that the First Edition skid plates and rock rails. Just sayin’…

Miss Daisy does that too. No big deal to me..

Two or three weeks IIRC. It was like she fell into a black hole.

It’s really beginning to grate on my nerves.

Welcome to the forum.

The same thing happened when I was waiting for Miss Daisy to arrive. It was maddening.

Here ya go…

The nipple is nowhere close to the skid plates.. promise. I would use the nipple version, even if the skid plates weren’t there.

It was pointed out in another post that one of the inmates only had four cross bars on his First Edition roof rack, not five. Miss Daisy is missing one as well. I am sure that there are more of us.

They won’t need to pull a fuel sample. They can tell what the ECU has been doing with the engine tune, to determine that 87 octane was used, if they chose to deny warranty coverage.
