Took the road runner for a little run yesterday. Did a little stop and go earands in town then took her down the interstate to St. Augustine, and the back roads home. Put about 110 miles on it. No issues, except found some stuff in the vents that was in there and didn't come out until about 70 for a while. That was like getting peppered! Got it all cleaned up today.

There's always something with these things, isn't there? Is it a bad leak?

Looks like it might be the core, I'm going to take it apart as I watch football in the cave.

I called off work Thursday 10/25. Temp reached 82 and had a great day with my Road Runner. Sunny skies, highway cruising and NO WORK!

Sorry to hear about the radiator. Took mine out again just for a drive for you, finally getting a little cooler weather. Had a guy looking me down in a Shelby 500. Both of us behaved, I'm sure everyone was watching though.

I found it after I cruised around, I had been smelling something in the garage for awhile and it didn't dawn on me as to what it was. I must have stressed it one one of my hot summer rides, its not enough to hit the floor but the upper tank seam behind the shroud seeps and the lower core. Guess I'll paint it resale red and flip it :lol:

I hate you....... :brickwall: don't miss it on the cold rainy days, but it's supposed to hit the '60s this Saturday, and I'm doing a double so my weekend is shot.
