Kickstands up this morning, rolled 150 miles, got gas in Kingman, AZ. 75 miles later, my dashboard alerted me I had a puncture! Pressure dropped from 40psi to 25 in a hurry! Found a pull off, got off the bike, and a good sized Phillips head screw was winking at me! As we made repairs in 30 mph wind, a cattle truck stopped alongside. The aroma was breathtaking! Fixed it, aired it up, and so far, so good! Stopped for gas and lunch. 300 miles knocked out by lunchtime, including a repair! 72 and sunny, but windy! Cheers! Joe

Had a great day! Kevin and Alana have a lovely home, and we worked on 3 Spyders today. One was Darrell, Kevin’s dad, who needed an alignment and an adjustment of his Tri-axis bars, the next was a alignment and battery tender pigtail, with a bolt replacement on his highway pegs. His lower frame was assembled incorrectly. The last one was an alignment, Spyderpops bumpskid, BajaRon Sway bar, and a new twist: the right saddlebag was flopping all over. There is a bolt forward of the saddlebags that was missing! Of course, the mirror, upper panel, central panel, wind deflector and side panel all have to be removed to get at the area to replace the bolt. The J nut was shy, too. Repaired that and it was good as new!! Tomorrow, Midland power sports for a demo day and alignments. If you are in the area, stop in!! Jack, looking forward to seeing you!

Spyders in the hills is fantastic! Ray and Diane are the best hosts! What a great event! We met so many nice people! We are having such a good time! Our dance card is quite full!
The nicest compliment: a gentleman got aligned, but was skeptical. I sent him on a 30 min test drive. He came back and was thrilled! Said it was a whole new bike! We love that! Seeing so many friends is terrific! Come on out!

Joe, Kathy says she can definitely tell a difference on her 16 RTL after you aligned the front end at Spyders in the Hills yesterday.

THANK YOU SIR! Ryde safe.

So, since I stalled too long on deciding to do this at Spyders in the Hills, when is the next opportunity to have you align me?
