The ListenUpNotDown channel name came about from from my own desire to be able to navigate through life the best way possible. I came to the realization, by the absolute grace of God, in one moment of time in 1977, that the ability to live my life to its fullest was to simply give my heart and life to a Savior who not only knows me better than I even know myself, but has a plan for all who call on Him - a plan that not only affects every area of life here and now, but stretches wonderfully into eternity. I've come to not only hear of the reality of Christ and His forgiveness and love for me. The one best qualified to tell us how to manage and maintain our motorcycles is the manufacturer of that motorcycle, and so it is with our lives - and the originator of life itself and manufacturer of both you and I absolutely proved His love for us by willingly giving His life up to judgement for the sin we are guilty of. If you got nothing to do, drop me a line. All the best!

BMW R100RS clutch slip and Rock Store trip
I saw that it did rain in Big Bear yesterday. I hope that you were able to stay dry today.
One drop hit the windscreen, but it was obviously storming just over the hill in the desert. Dark dark clouds with streaks of dark rain not far away on the way home.
Ich habe auch seit 4 Wochen eine R100RS Baujahr 1981 und ich bin begeistert! Ein Wunderwerk aus den 80 Jahren und heute noch eine Schönheit. Ich liebe den schönen sonoren Sound. Herrlich!
hm isn't that an RT or am i mistaking?
Very nice fix Joe, yea 🎉 one for the gipper. The new manifold looks good too. I’m doing the same and plugging and patching my truck until the wheels fall off. Nice thing with older vehicles is we can still, fix most of the stuff.
Yes. A new vehicle would be phenomenal but impossible. Personality trumps wax.
Nothing beats success!
…except for biscuits and gravy.😉
Great fix! Enjoyed that 🎉👍
One out of a billion, but still sweet - ha ha! Thanks!
Like most old guys, Mr. Munches rear plumbing not what it used to be. I'm sure you are digging through the internet expanding your knowledge.
Ya got that right Dave - he’ll need diapers before we know it.
Poor Mr Munch😢
Ha ha yeah, poor guy.
I feel that same as Rob, I have never really messed with ABS systems so I'm not much help, but I know you will find the answer. With all the bikes getting so complex the DR and KLR are all my pea size marble can handle when something goes wrong. I'm one generation above the Neanderthals.
You’ll have to fall in behind Senior Neanderthal.
@@JdilpkleRS Ugg, Grunt … Snort 🧌
I wish I knew something that could help. I hope the answer presents itself soon for you.
Thanks Rob. Just getting to the ABS unit is over the top.
Thanks for the message. Getting to a peaceful place is a very good thing. I hope you get the bike issues worked out.
I concur on both points Rob - thanks!
Dave, you are a great encouragement to me. I appreciate it. I just looked at the bike again. Fluid moves out of the master cylinder like it should but seems to be getting lost in the ABS unit. I unhooked the rear caliper banjo bolt and pumped the pedal - not one drop out. I think it is a combination of air now in the system and a bad ABS unit. Been reading about them. I couldn’t get everything off under the seat to see or get to the unit, so I but stuff back together. At least I can ride it. Too hot to work on the jeep fuel leak. Oi.
Joe lovely messages. Thank you. You reflect some of my inner most thoughts of late as I look back over my life. Dave 🏍️🇩🇪
Very nice video bro
Great message brother, love you too. It is always nice to welcome you and your videos into my home, it's fun to see what you are up to, and sorry to hear the machines are uprising. I need to get back on the video train myself, I have just not mentally been there, due to a few things going on. Good luck on the rear brakes, I think pulling that fuse and rebleeding might be a place to start. Changes at work and in life are always tough and tougher with age. We are creatures of habit, and change comes slowly. I'll get a video out mid-week of something. Anymore these days I talk God's ear off, but like a good father he listens and keeps giving me the strength and direction for another day. I can hear Wyoming calling.
Hello Dave. I hope life is treating you well.
Hi Joe I’ve been on vacation as you say Stateside so I got a bit of catching up to do! 😂 I just came across a YT vid which may help you and Mr Klaus on his rebuild. Hope it helps. It’s from The BMW GUY on YT and only just posted 5hrs ago. 👍🏍️🇩🇪 czcams.com/video/md6RCpQ9JMY/video.htmlsi=FhyvvbeL1f-QVdKX
Can't wait to see you put Humpty Dumpty (I mean "Klaus") back together again! I hope you record the clutch & neutral switch replacement.
Looks like it was a nice day in Big Bear. So really not a failure.
That’s the attitude Rob. Now that I think about it, my attitude seems to get better with altitude. 👍🏻
Good luck tonight with the rear master cylinder, I'm not worried at all. It was blistering hot in the Arizona garage, but I got my full race needle and jets in the KLR and took it for a paint peeling run in 110+ heat down the freeway, the old girl runs great and put a smile on my face. I would have had a great video if only I had a card in the camera??? Got a shot in my knee yesterday, it feels better, maybe a MRI and scraping to do later? we'll see. Feeling old.
Dave, it seems Mr. Age is pouncing on everyone. He’s certainly not a respecter of persons. Everything else is self inflicted🥴 Too hot in the garage to work, so I sat and watched the world’s electronic information pipeline go down the drain for a bit. All the best my friend.
Any update on Mr Klaus?
I couldn’t find a suitable shipping box in my search, but just yesterday a friend brought one to me that may just work. I have to get the car and go pick it up at work. So many things currently happening pushed the transmission work down the priority list. But we are getting closer.
I took the DR650 up Lytle Creek Canyon today, Wednesday. The road was closed going north at Applewhite campground. A couple of Forrest Service trucks were the only evidence of the fire in the canyon. Nice day for a ride.
Yes, they are keeping a tight perimeter around the area, as should be. Did you hear the ghost of Cedric echoing in the hills while you were there?
Always a pleasure to hang out with you, Mr Munch, Stanley, Mr Chair and the rest of the gang. Today here in the UK the weather is very nice. I would go for a ride but am exhausted from digging out old, broken fence posts and replacing with new ones. 5 hours it took. I am not young anymore, and it sure took it out of me! Thanks.
Age is a bit of a mystery - it’s invisible, then it jumps on you out of nowhere with a vengeance. I can’t figure it out.
@@JdilpkleRS Agree. One minute you are fine, the next...!
Would love to see a vintage BMW ride to Joshua Tree Park. An R100RS would be perfect.
That sounds like a winner. That would certainly be a ride for the cooler months. It is going to be 102F there this coming weekend. I’ll keep that trip in mind. Thanks! Joe
Funny how we revert back to childhood as we reach our twighlight years. I am thinking Mr Munch, Stanley flask, Mr Chair and so on. Reminds me of that kids programme, Mr Men. Did you have that in the States? One of the many joys and indulgences of growing old (er)! Best get that break sorted Sir. Thanks.
Didn’t have that one here. These are stable friends 👍🏻
Ооо
I’m on that carnivore diet so beef and eggs great stuff. 👍🏼
I gotta get back on that wagon again. I lost 25 pounds and now it’s creeping back. The D word. Discipline. Oi.
For the past few days I'm back on a heavily carb restricted diet which has me eating eggs and beef quite frequently. About four years ago I lost about 100 lbs. in 8 months using this diet. My 2022 50th High School Reunion was my motivation. After the reunion , with all the other medical bull, I gained back a significant portion using the "F it, I will eat what I want diet". The carnivore diet works if you stay after it.
It does look like a good spot but live on the edge and make that wilderness trip. I could always smack myself in the head to get that sleep.
This place is certainly better than a pair of tight shoes, but to ride where the roads never end and animals are wild would be wonderful. You won’t need to smack yourself, as I can’t see much improvement from my end happening any time soon.
Don't be so hard on yourself. Still plenty of time to find new mistakes to make. 😅
Good to see you again Joe, had to believe a rich BMW guy hasn’t had steak and eggs, but one of my favorites. Have a safe ride home. Smoking hot here in AZ.
Believe it or not. Steak never appealed to me as a breakfast food. Now I get it. Maybe BBQ ribs next time…
Watching a video of you sleeping in a high back camp chair just might do the trick to solve my insomnia..
You have something there Rob. All this effort will have proven to be all for nought.
Well Joe I’m back I fell asleep about 3/4 of the way through but I did work last night, it wasn’t you.maybe try bleeding the brakes, and get new fluid running through the system? That would be the next step I would do? Nice to see you out on the bike, I have been staying in out of the heat. 115 in AZ again, and again and again. Great to spend time with you.

Happy Fourth of July Rob. That Joe is a trooper being out. Take care.
Enjoyable day Sir. Triumph do a 400 that is aimed at road and light off road too. Looks to be a very nice machine. Thanks.
….and I am a long time Triumph man too. Good to hear off you!
Ride safe always brother
Will do! Appreciate it.
The perfect spot. 🦅🐦🐦⬛
Looks to be, even if it isn’t 50 miles from people👍🏻
Happy 4th! Nice quiet, shady spot.
You too Rob. All the very best.
Joe thank you for sharing this wonderful insight to your church. Simply an amazing & loving congregation of people. You are blessed to be part of something as wholesome, warm and nurturing as this church. Dave 🙏👍
WOW, that's a packed house! How exciting... PTL! 🙏
Yes, I was a bit speechless in watching something far bigger than I.
Very nice Joe, looked like they had a good turn out.
Looks like a good start to a new chapter.
Yes. The pages continue to turn…
Great to see so many enthusiastic followers of Christ. I hope the two churches are able to come together in an inspirational way, and your combined strength radiate outwards, as a beacon of light and hope, for others to follow.
John, forgive me I missed your encouraging comment. Yes I concur, great to see God’s people being one as it should be. Thanks!
Thank you for the tour, Joe, very nice. I had to think how you work in a place of peace and fellowship, and I'm about to head off to work in utter chaos and turmoil, good for you my friend good for you. Enjoy the service today and joining of many. I'll have another coffee pray for strength and head out. Love you brother.
Well Joe. I enjoyed the insights you shared into your place of worship and work, thank you. I genuinely sensed the calmness emanating from the building as you did your walk through. A truly serene and peaceful place. Whilst I consider myself a Christian I do not currently attend church and do not consider myself to be overly religious. However, following my daughter Hannah’s christening, some years back now, that evening lying in bed I was aware of a blissful calmness and spoke with my wife about the day and service when to my surprise and without any prompt she described feeling the same sensations. It was as if something had been lifted from us, almost a cleansing, quite lovely and very real. We liked the feeling so much we talked about further Sunday attendances. I’m ashamed to say we did not follow through but have never forgotten those feelings. I just felt I should share this memory here. I hope you don’t mind. Dave 👍🙏
Thank you Dave for the personal sharing. I’m so thankful that Jesus is not only approachable but personally knowable. I appreciate your being here. All the very best! Joe
Sounds like this is coning together in a positive way. Good for all involved.
Those black and orange birds think you are the bird whisper since you have tamed the black and orange Mr. Munch. Sounds like good news on the lens. Did you get that transmission off to Idaho yet?
Sigh…. The trans is sitting in a box that is too small to ship to the rebuilder. I’m thinking about running by a big Tesla dealership in the area to see if I can snag a heavy duty box if they have any laying around.
1965 i rode here still coming at 75 years old many bikes later
We should all be open to change. Inspirational words spoken today Joe. My time for some personal reflection methinks. 👍 🏍️🇩🇪 dk
Good news for you!
Professional blurring without a doubt.
Rob, I hope all is well with you, I'm ready for monsoons maybe this Monday/Tues.
@@verbalwidget7267 Hello Dave. I'm OK. I hope all is well with you and the monsoon is uneventful and brings some relief from the temps.
Yes he’s back. Where have you been? Busy eh? 😂 There is no escaping them Lupines. I just love ‘em. 🪻🪻🪻👍 dk
Who would have ever guessed - flowers??!! Roses wouldn’t work the same.
Good change is good, I'm happy for all involved.
Thank you Dave. You got it.
Joes back!!
First!!
Nice hat!
That goes without saying Rob. My favorite hat. Thanks again.
I’ve been riding LC GSA’s for a number of years. Lately I’ve been looking into getting an airhead as a second bike and perhaps do some light touring. Perhaps I might be crazy, but you only live once. Happy riding from sunny and humid florida.
