    Default A REAL problem

    Well, I have a December birthday, and then there's Christmas. Yes, I got all the farkles I asked for, and have them neatly prepped in my garage. The problem is, if it's too cold and wet, I don't want to play in the garage, and if it's not, I'm riding my RT.

    How o How am I ever going to get those farkles installed?????

    Yep, cold rainy days are the most productive in the garage. You need to heat (and ac if you live down south) your garage.

    Sorry, the only group hug I'm doing this year is SITR - and that one may be iffy, if it interferes with a real ride....

    Yeah. I have Christmas then in a very short time, a January birthday. No farkles though so don't have to worry about that.

    Well, my farkles are installed - too wet to test them out tho \\ Ron's sway bar took longer than advertised to install - the #$$# star washers were difficult to remove, while (old guy here) lying on the floor of my garage, and the teflon blocks were a bear to get in the channel, again, while lying on the floor... and I had to remove the tupperware under the bike, and then try to repair the scrape damage from that nasty road last fall... you know how it goes... Anyway, it's done now... and waiting for a non-rainy day.

    And the one you saved by doing it yourself allows for MORE farkles!

    One must dig under the tupperware at least once, to know what we have.. Rather than biting off more than one can chew, one must chew slowly....
