We finally had a decent day here in western Colorado. Temps mid 40’s and sunny, just a slight breeze. Not bad for mid January. My apologies to the middle country and East coast folks in the brrrrrr...

Another long time Harley and Goldwing rider. Sold the last Tri Glide due to both shoulders having been repaired (unrelated to the Tri Glide). Thought my riding days were over but a buddy came to town...

The only peace of mind is a current insurance policy!

I did get the Lamonster tie downs mounted on the shock bolts and the mirror locks also were installed.

Did a short ride and I do believe the mirror "jiggle" is significantly better. They still...

When I licensed my new to me truck last May, they told me I needed to get a new plate ($55) because my old plate was too old, and the luminescence wouldn't work for the toll readers. I asked them why...

My last shoulder surgery, May 31, 2022, was my 25th. Let's just say I might not have been a good steward of my body. Thirteen knee operations including both replaced. The rest range from knife stab...

Always been a fan of the Gerbing gear. But I really didn't like their controller. One of the "techs" at revzilla hooked me up with a First Gear wireless controller that worked great with the Gerbing...

I have been where you are ... Last April in fact. Anyway, I traded my TriGlide and older truck in on a 2019 F-150 King Ranch ... all the bells and whistles. Did this cause the right shoulder hated...

Good luck with the shoulder. I have had both knees replaced and both shoulders "repaired". Actually ... the knees got me onto three wheels with trikes, and the shoulders (mostly the right one) got me...

I have always considered that a downpayment on accessories.:yikes:

When I was young I hit a chipmunk on the way down from the top of mount St. Helens (pre blowing its top) and the 65 sporty chopper did not handle the encounter very well. The tiny "bicycle" tire on...

I just bought a 2019 F3 Limited with 2950 miles on it ... I did the 3000 mile service (myself) and flushed the brake lines. Also check drive belt adjustment and lots of other stuff. Did I really need...

So true and that is the nature of toys.

I once worked in a machinery space (protecting the identity some) and when operating certain valves, it was required to torque them on their back seat and front seats. So we needed a torque wrench....

I have no idea what kind of fuel mileage these Spyders get. Guessing high 20's to mid 30's. So basically my response to eco mode is why? This is the same why? I ask when the "should I use premium"...

Am I the only Looney that names their ride?

I have been called all sorts of names because I name my vehicles. Always a feminine name (So sue me, I am 70, I just don't care anymore).

In 2015 I...

Thanks ... Pulled the side service cover off ... while I was trying to figure how to get the right passenger board mount off, I noticed a "pinched wire" ... I think it was to the level switch, cause...

New Update:

Went out to the garage and checked codes.

All that is there now is the C1048. Maybe voltage on battery was low?

Anyway, reached out to the used bike dealer I usually use (They...

Okay, so the Nov 3 update!

I waited until today to "Check the Brake Switch because I wanted to install the Lamonster Position 4 Brake rod at the same time (I am 70 with a bad back, to artificial...

On the agenda for tomorrow

Update:

Today I did a brake fluid flush. Pulled a full reservoir of fluid through there lines.

1) Jacked up front of bike, removed front wheels.
2) Sucked all the fluid out of the reservoirs...

I never keep my foot on the pedal. This code and the brake light is on all the time.

Yea ... One of them was actually stuck. Tomorrow I plan to do a brake fluid flush. Might help, even though the bike only has 3k on it, it is 4 years old, the fluid appears to not have been flushed.

Anyone know what the C1048 Code is?

I am also getting the low brake fluid warning. I have added fluid until I don't dare add any more.

Okay ... this old man is not all that tech savvy. I read somewhere while waiting to pick up my F3 about the Lamonster brake rods and how they "lower" the brake position.

Anyway, I have now picked...
