What a fine day it was. I've never met so many nice, friendly folks.
I got to Lamonts about 8:30am and was the second one to get ELKA shocks mounted. Had never even thought about them before and the purchase was purely on a whim.
Being a conservative rider, for me the change was more subtle rather than dramatic. They give the RT a smoother ride, absorbing bumps easier, with seemingly more positive, smoother, control around curves. Really hard to describe. I'm happy with them and glad I did it.
Later in the day BajaRon was kind enough to tackle plug and wire change on the RT with me taking off the plastic so he could get at the air box. It gave me a chance to examine the box, nice and dry, and the air filter which was not dirty at all after 17,500 mi. Ron worked hard for about 2 1/2 to 3 hours and then helped me reinstall the plastic. He and I were the last two to leave Lamont's place about 8:30PM.
Ron...I can't thank you enough for your kindness.
The little Orange Tabby came by for a final goodby before I left; I had given it a lot of lovin earlier on, being a cat lover. I asked it to go with me but it said "Nah, hard to beat the deal he had with Lamont"....
