Title: Knock noticed !
Post by: 5B Steve on March 14, 2011, 01:58:12 PM

   Just returned from a trip to Daytona, Fl . for bike week. This was the first long trip I had made in seven years

   since I bought the bus in Vancouver, BC. The trip was flawless, didn't burn any oil, fuel mileage was

   unbelievable!  Fuel cost , round trip from here in Indianapolis $ 642.00.  The question I have, the Steering

   column has developed a chattering and knock at the dashboard level.  Does anyone have an idea what is

   going on here?

Could it be that the guy playing a joke on you over yer mileage was putting fuel in yer tank when he heard someone coming and hid in the spare tire compartment. And is now banging on the steering column to get your attn so you let him out? ;)
