Does the charge wire from the voltage regulator run directly to the battery or is it switched thru the key ?<snip>

It goes right to the battery, via the main circuit breaker. There
should be nothing else between voltage regular output and battery
positive pole.

-a Thanks Phil , I thought so but wasn't sure - and too lazy to go out
and trace that wire on one of my bikes . I scored this compact tractor -
a Yanmar YM1500D - for a good price and snatched it up . The big problem
I'm having is that these are "gray market" machines and what little
printed information there is is in either Vietnamese or Chinese . I can trace a wire on the schematic but with the notes in pictographs ...

Is 22 amps enough?-a When you turn the lights on you may be using another 9-11 amps.

-a Well , it's a 2 cylinder diesel so ... the only load will be lights , aside from the starter . And it starts easy . This machine is pretty
awesome , originally designed for working in rice paddies . This model
was made from 1975-1979 but they made a shitload and a half of them so
parts are available . It's the perfect companion for my JD 317 . The JD breaks the path and hauls in the chainsaws and other tools . The Yanmar hauls the logs out of the woods to be turned into firewood . And it's 4 wheel drive so I won't be spinnin' my wheels .
-a I am so ashamed of myself , I haven't offered drinks . Well , there's this Mason jar of local UNCUT 'shine I've been saving ... Shirley , keep pourin' until it's gone or everybody's passed out . I know where to get
more .

-a No , and neither does my starting up both bikes and letting them run until fully warmed up . Seems like there's always six other things more important than goin' for a long ride . Like my neighbor dumping about 2 cords - so far - of firewood on me for free . HELLYEA I want it ! We had
a strong storm with high winds that downed a lot of trees in parts of
town a couple of weeks ago . My neighbor is cleaning up part of the mess
and I'm getting free firewood .
-a Yes dear , my back hurts . Yes dear my arms are sore . And no dear , that firewood ain't gonna split and stack itself . I ain't gonna
complain somebody else did 2/3 of the work !
-a Here , try this lemonade flavored 'shine ... Hillbillies make the
best friends !

-a Sweet ! Kid up the street when I was a teen had a 350 Scrambler . He
cut the muffler off and installed Snuff-R-Not washers . I was a bit
envious , riding Dad's 150 Suzuki 2-stroker street bike .

I have been thinking about it.-a I had a 1976 Honda CL350 that was a scrambler back in the late 80s or early 90s for a short time.-a My CL had what we used to call "street knobbies."-a I burned it up on the freeway,
and traded it in on a VT500.-a Not long after that I started always
having 2-3 bikes around.-a Right now I have three, a Paughco springer
front end, a Harley sidecar, and a bunch of misc parts I should put on
eBay if I could remember what came off of what bike.
A few months ago I found a Joker Machine brake cylinder I never
installed laying out in the dirt in my back yard.-a I have no idea how it got there.-a Last I recall it was hanging on the pegboard in the back of
my shop.-a Now its in one of the plastic tote bins labeled misc bike parts.
Shirley, Pendelton 1910 please.-a Leave the bottle for anybody who wants
a top off.
I'm getting the urge to ride again.-a I remember the panic (yes panic,
okay maybe just extreme anxiety) last few times I rode, but it doesn't
seem real anymore.

I have been working hard to eliminate the things I don't need.-a Only
making marginal progress.-a Fuck it I figure.-a If I don't get to it, they can just get a dumpster when I pass.

I will, thanks.-a That's probably how that brake cylinder got there.
I'm getting the urge to ride again.-a I remember the panic (yes panic,
okay maybe just extreme anxiety) last few times I rode, but it doesn't
seem real anymore.
Every time I consider whether or not it's time to give up being on two wheels, we take a ride and have such a great time.-a We're going again tomorrow, and I just tell myself to slow down and just enjoy the time.
It has been working, and I hope I never feel the need to not have a bike around.-a I've tossed around getting something smaller than the Ultra,
but the appeal of that is wanting.
The wife suggested last time I allow her to get a bike.-a I know plenty
of women ride, but she's never done it and at 60 years of age, I think
it is ridiculous to think about starting now.-a Not aware of the dangers,
to damn small, and just too much of a "girl" for me to be comfortable
with that.-a She can just sit on the back as far as I'm concerned.
I finished that Pendelton during my rant, so let me get the next one.
