    With the constant 15-20mph winds down here, I like to keep it around 55-60. But yesterday was a rare no-wind day, so on a nice new stretch of asphalt that I had all to myself for a while, I punched...

    I usually ryde on Sunday but the weather didn't cooperate today, so I took the car instead.

    Car thermometer hit 107 degrees at 3:45pm. :yikes:

    Wow. At 42° I wouldn't even LOOK at my Spyder. At 72° I wear my leather jacket.

    Mine was in the shop for 15 days (but I was ill and unable to ride anyway) and I just got it back on Friday 2/24. They said mine was "rusted" on the shaft so badly they had trouble removing it (along...

    And how many points are there on all the other "hex" plugs? (TeeHee)

    Sorry, I just couldn't resist. Carry on, friends!

    I was responding to a post (quoted) that implied the part number was NOT changed. And I suggested an EC that does NOT change the product, only the manufacturing process that creates the product.

    Now, I am just speculating here and don't really know the skinny, but consider this: Later years of manufacture of the same part number could be improved because of an Engineering Change due to...

    I got my first inspection yesterday (Friday the 13th!) and was told they aren't even replacing sprockets unless needed. If needed, they will order one and will call me back when my turn comes in the...

    That's the way to drive any/every vehicle. It makes you execute the curve right in the center of the lane every time. My dad taught me that when I was just learning, at 15. He said he learned it from...
