So about a month ago I was having electrical issues (battery wasn't staying charged) - replaced stator, rectifier, & battery.

Rode about 1100 miles (including epic ride), no issues til last night. Battery is dead again.

I will be running voltage tests (was charging battery last night) to make sure the stator/rectifier are working. If they are, what issues would you suggest me looking into next? I know I am having good connections between the positive and ground to the battery as well.

If the stator/rectifier are working I guess the next step would see if I have a short somewhere that's draining the battery.

Any other ideas?

There are two sides to every story, and I want to hear the daughter's before I decide where to place my internet fury.

Agreed, it appears she's been trying to get him into a nursing home and maybe this was her way of doing it.

Doesn't make it right though.

This video is the perfect example of how the law works. And there was someone who called it in as well

How would you have responded to the scene(as a police officer)?

The police have the right to 'attempt' to question the guy. If he refuses to answer questions and they see no illegal activities, he is entitled to be free to leave.

I'm not sure if someone already answered this, but as soon as I saw the question, I hit quote.

Salvage the motor and build a gokart.

If he files an insurance claim he'll have to give up the bike to the insurance company and buy the motor back. Odds are it won't be worth it.

Welcome.

In b4 anyone else.

Pokey: you beat me to it! That is actually the reason i DONT take my bike to the dealer.

You're right. Anytime it's due for work, you just trade it in and get a new one. hah

Welcome.

Derek-

I'll let you lead then smart @ss.

!

If I'm leading we're taking 71 lol... I'm terrible with directions.

You learn to remember your intersections. You try to not read the map while riding. Lots of folks use their GPS' date=' too. It's not a difficult route, especially if Brian tags along. He's been down that way a couple times. Way more fun than 83 to 62. Unless you're just interested in the quickest route. 62 is boring as shit. I'd rather take OH-3 to 270, honestly.[/quote']

They have a bike night in Medina Oh on Thursdays at QS&L. Maybe you can make those.

Where in Copley? I live by rizzis

Small world, I used to work at Rizzi's. I sent you a PM

saw your 900RR, but didn't see/meet ya Saturday.

Yea, I was there. Met a lot of nice people. Maybe we'll meet some day.

Yes, and the camera will be rolling so dress pretty.

At least she wont get pregnant taking it in the ass.

Clearly a woman on that show is DTF, this wasn't much a surprise. And yes I'll probably do some research as well. :leghump:

Nice video man!

Oh yeah, when you gotta go, you gotta go!

hahahahahahahahahahahahaha! What a perfect way to start a video! Sorry for holding you guys up, but hey... There is my 15 minutes! Awesome video man, thanks for filming!

Yeah, I got some other funny stuff like in the beginning when we got started and saw the guy trying to put his four wheeler on his car at the gas station... Just rendering that 'Nature Calls' video took a while so I didn't get time to edit the next one... I'll try to do more tonight, but was thinking if rain holds off I was going to hit up Bike Night again.

If I didn't want to put out quality videos...

Derek,

It was great meeting you and the other riders in our group from the Epic Ride. Looking forward to that video. We had a great group of guys. I love watching a pack of bikes entering the turns. I saw the one you posted with the truck. I have seen plenty of cars come over the double yellow like they are on a track or something. I was in the back with the sweep and didn't see him cross the double yellow when we passed. Anyway, let me know if you ever want to put a local ride together and we can make it happen.

Thanks,

Wolfman1

Likewise, I have some good video of everyone in the group following the exact same line, it was pretty cool looking. Some of the video isn't great when I fell behind a little cause you guys were a little faster then I felt comfortable with but I did get some good footage at other points.

I'll do my best to get it up tonight.

Any free program isn't going to be good for editing. I believe they said windows movie maker is the best free one but it's going to limit you on what you can do. I'd recommend spending a little bit of cash or you can do the old fashion way of finding a way to get it a different way

Hey man, where's the rest of your footage? Can't wait to see it, we were a very good group and worked well together. No bottle necking, very smooth, with a good pace the whole ride. Sure hope to get to ride with you guys again sometime!

To be honest, I've been real busy after the ride... Apparently things backed up while I took a day for myself hah... I've got some other footage edited already, I'll get it uploaded when I leave work.

Heading down with 330racing (provided there are no unforeseen circumstances come up)

This is from the Medium-Fast group lead by Dave Gasser

First clip I put together was a red pick up truck trying to run as all over.

Special thanks to whaler and his friend wolfman for helping me find my way home.
