I just got a bigger computer monitor given to me this morning...that should help me see a bit better!  

I got a 17" a few years back , it helps a lot !    Wink

I'm tired of waiting for the Doc. to set-up a training session for me ... Think I'll check out U-Tube ,   Thanks for the tip and the Kind words .  Cool

Getting OLD is still better than the alternative !    ???  Are all the bikes beyond the Pearly Gates "Old-School"   or do we have to go Crotch-Rocket style ???

You might try the Eply maneuver which is a 5-10 minute repositioning of the head.  There are other things that give you the same symptoms, in fact about three pages long list.  If you haven't had your hearing tested in the past ten years, get it done for a baseline (preferably by an Audiologist, not a hearing aid dealer)  The difference is mostly equipment, test environment, training and the ability to accurately measure bone conduction scores as well as the air conduction.. See an Ear Nose and Throat/Otolaryngologist if it reoccurs since, as noted above, you might be a Meniere's Disease victim.

I cannot remember the guys name but he lived down in Georgia and started having really severe issues with this kind of thing.  The last we heard from him he was going to try to come up for a Dragon Ride about 5-6 years ago.
I bought his Savage from him; Black Beauty I called it.
He had experimented with all sorts of intakes and exhaust baffles to find the right combo for his bike.  One of the intakes was the rubber tube between the carb and air box that was filled with straws that were all stacked up in there and was designed to create a laminar flow effect.  I still have that intake.

Audiologist, not a hearing aid dealer..

AudiologistS aren't selling hearing aids.

MMR, A friend of mine had the exact same symptons and diagnosis.  After a couple visits and some test the Dr. prescribed a change in sleeping position.  Once he determined which side the crystals had broken loose on he had my friend try to sleep on a certain side which would cause the crystals to migrate back into place.  Even though my friend found it a little hard to sleep all night on a certain side it was enough to fix the problem.  It all went away in a matter of weeks and didn't come back.  I think a blow to the head had something to do with it in the first place, not certain.  Good luck.

JOG - depending on which State you are living in.  My point was, that an audiologist with a sound suite at his disposal will give you more accurate info than the local hearing aid guy with a portable audiometer and a free exam.  The possible gap between air conduction and bone conduction scores is most valuable for diagnosis; and accurate low frequencies are more accurately measured in a sound suite than open room.

I didn't catch how MMR came up with the diagnosis. BPPV is a statement indicating other causes for the dizziness (or perhaps true vertigo) has no other indicated cause. One can get a virus that gives similar symptoms.  A tumor in the Internal Auditory Canal can also send you.  Someone on this or the Guzzi forum was just talking about his binaural tumors, a thankfully rare occurrence.

and Dave, self diagnosis is a sketchy deal, if you haven't already go see an Optometrist who will look at your eyes and refer you on to Opthamologist  if necessary.

MMR said he went to the doctors and got some meds, but an emergency room MD might give different response than the urgent care guy.  You need to see an ENT who hopefully can give you an accurate diagnosis. (Of course, if that is the kind of MD you saw, then you are good to go..

Full disclosure - I am a retired Audiologist and one of my daughters is a Optometrist and heavens knows there are not enough people with eye problems or hearing loss to keep the monies flowing. Grin Grin Grin Grin

I went to my regular Doctor to find out WTW (what in the world) was going on.  

She knew right-away what it was , but checked her medical book anyway to be sure.   She is so Sharp ... Cute little gal in her mid thirty's with a smile that just glows.   Even my wife like her (she had to help me to get to the Dr.)    Yea , I couldn't drive , and walked with a cane on one side and wife on the other.      Plum embarrassing it was  Embarrassed

Mike,
Does that speedo go to 160 mph ?

WOW YOU MUST REALLY RIDE FAST!!!!

I hope to see you again in June at KSL. I am sure tween you and your doctor you will get things straightened out by then so you can ride!

I have not spoke up about coming yet as I have 2 weekend trips first to Columbia, SC in April, and Augusta, GA in May first. I'll just plan on staying in the bunkhouse.

I ordered a GPS speedo from SpeedHut last week, should be here by the end of the month. I had them make it 0 - 80 mph, I never ride faster than that anyway.  That should give me bigger numbers for my old eyes. I'll mount it like yours above the bars with LEDs for indicators above it. And a little flat sun shade on top to help keep the glare down, and provide a nice place to mount the antenna.
