That click noise is usually an indicator that the battery is very weak...or possibly a battery connection is not tight. Not sure about the whine under the seat. It has been a long time since I owned my black R1150R - "The Black Dominatrix".

Wayne, how is the Helene damage affecting the plan for the Bash in Staunton?

Wayne, I think you're speaking into a void of disinterest. It seems all the social internet activity revolves around Fakebook and Instagram these days. But it would be nice if some of the old R1150R members exchanged a few quips here now and then.

Today there was a slight uptick in the general miasma of interest around this board and using it again, after it being virtually obsolete and defunct for the last few years, at least, maybe longer. So I got to thinking, I would like to try and log in and see what's crackin' these days. I still own, ...

My current wife only weighs about 100 lbs so its about like carrying my camping gear with her on the back, but my 2nd and 3rd wife (same person) had her own bikes and rode separately, although only on short day rides. She gave up riding altogether after she went wide on a switchback in Arkansas and ...

Hello Everyone! I just published a new Slablog Podcast with me and my two brothers discussing motorcycle movies. Please go to the link below and listen, if only for a short time. It's only about 30 minutes total. Then scroll down below the player and leave me a comment. Someone just emailed me and s...

Great sentiments riceburner! Thanks, and here's to a much better year coming up! Cheers!

If I recall correctly, the first time I changed out the internal fuel filter a couple of the internal fuel line clamps were very easy to get loose...as in untight...loose as a goose. Maybe with the jostling around one came off or something. You said you had it started up after adding the new QDs the...

The latest Slablog Podcast is Mark Cooperstein, an original member of the board here, relating his memories from a trip he took in 1972. Have a listen.

Mark Cooperstein Slablog Podcast

Shout out to Cyclerob! I have an episode recording session lined up for Tuesday Dec 1 with my two brothers discussing Christmas Trees. After that I will need a guest to interview for publication about the middle of December. Give me a call and let's line it up. Any other R1150R members who would lik...

It's a two-edged sword. This forum would not exist without users, period. However, with new users comes increased costs and responsibilities. This is true with any venture. I don't think Doug would mind at all promoting the R1150R.net forum anywhere online, but I may be wrong. The upside to a renewe...

No wood.

Here neither...but I chalk it up to just getting along in age.

Its been quite some time since I worked on my R1150R hydraulic clutch but If I recall correctly, the fluid bleed lug only bleeds the fluid through the line from the master cylinder to that lug. It doesn't bleed out the slave cylinder underneath the bike. I may be wrong on that, but riceburner is cor...

Well, some time has passed and more miles on Lil Chubb. The aforementioned "glitch" continued to occur unpredictably at odd times with no discernible pattern to it...so like any good motorcyclist, I just continued to ride. Haha At any rate, I went to Hungry Mother for the annual soire in A...

My co-hosts and I are taking a new approach to the Slablog podcasting recording activity. We've decided to get together each Tuesday morning about 7am and hash out life's issues. The subject could be motorcycles, or guns, or cars, or anything that we wind up talking about. I will have a phone hooked...

FINALLY! I am able to log in! For a long time I was only able to access the board via my old iPad. Then I got an idea! Let me see if I can log "out" on the iPad and then get logged back in. Dumb idea. It didn't work. But now it seems I am able to get logged on with my Linux operated desk t...

A few weeks ago I published a two part podcast with Towerworker as my guest. Another prominent member of our forum contacted me about also appearing on the show as a guest from another land, and we recently used a Skype call as a way to record our conversation. We all have known riceburner for a whi...

Bogdan wrote-"...and you seem like such a nice guy. I know that's your forum personality; it's very possible that in real life you're difficult. You nailed it Bogdan. Wayne once chewed out a lady for crossing the street too slowly. Poor old woman just needed new bearings in her walker. He also...

Absolutely! The toughest part of this activity is coordinating all participants' attendance. With 3 hosts its not always the guest who is missing. LOL

I'll let you know when we plan to get together again.
Thanks Mark

Sweatmark. I sent you a PM.
