    2008 AE won't start

    I didn't see mcatrophy's post when I posted. I just assumed you were bite by the ground spider. Seems like I jumped to a conclusion to soon. That's a new one to me also. At least it seems to be more easily remedied, if that's what it is.

    2008 AE won't start

    Well it sounds like you'll begetting the recall done now. More than likely that's what it is. Did the fuel pump run when you turned on the ignition? when my quit I had no fuel pump. The dealer told me that I had an electrical gremlin, that he would start by replacing the fuel pump to fix it, but...

    Riding...A family affair?

    Good thread GR I just found it, I really enjoy your pics and ride reports. As my kids get older it seems I have less time to ride.(2 11yo girls, 2 boys, 12 & 14) All of my kids like to ride to some degree. My wife also rides. This summer in particular my wife seems to ride more than I do...

    How much rust in a gas tank is too much rust?

    I agree stay with simple. It doesn't look like bad rust to me. BB's can take off some if it but it doesn't look like you need to. You could try white viniger (cheap bought by the gallon). It's acidic and will take off the light rust. A inline filter should take care of it. I've got one that...

    Posting up some 2012 "Wheaton rides"

    Hell thats twice as far as the "RAMBLE" was. This is not a commitment yet, but I'd love to come. I've got a brother in law that lives out around the Ozarks some where, that I'm supposed to visit in Sept/Oct. Maybe I could combine that with this ride.
