looks like its still on for Saturday. cloudy but dry. but it's changed in the last 24 hours so who knows what the next 24 hours says... trailer down, buy the bike, then come and dyno it.

so i have a few questions on drilling the bolts: 1. sounds like 1/16th bit in a cobalt material is recommended. 2. when drilling the bolt do you drill all sides of the bolt? I assume "yes" cuz you won't know which you'll need to wire through until you have it on. 3. I noticed in some of the pics you wire through one hole and others (axle) you went in one and out the adjacent side's hole (corner). any reason or methodology and which to use when? 4. I've seen safety wire washers...any comments. http://www.lockhartphillipsusa.com/store/home.php?cat=526 good? bad? I assume I'd use these under another bolt where I am securing a wire to.

Nice write up! I need to get this done. I've always done the silicone, but felt I need to get more secure this year. More tools to buy!

The mortgage is a separate document that is the security to the note. So, if the note does not get paid the lender uses the mortgage to foreclose on the property. The mortgage can also be called a lien. Also the note is not usually recorded. The mortgage is.

I'd be interested in joining you guys. with the disclaimer of wife trumping any and all of my "fun-time". I thought about going to the Dyno Day, but think I need a custom tune anyways, so I'll go with the wind. n Never been to either places for grub so it'll be fun

please be quiet...I need a moment to absorb the imagery.

THis is the best way. Otherwise a friend of mine has one of the Baxley Chocks that he just backs into.

+1 Simple maintenance should be done yourself if possible. It's another whole fantastic world to MC ownership...tooling on your ride. Plenty of local people on the board I'm sure would be more than happy to come over to give a hand.

Holy Shit. $15.01? Order it before they fix it! I bought my Vortex rearsets on the R1 a few years ago for $250 brand new.

+1 glad the good news came. also, if the arthritis meds is RYmdal, use it sparingly. it is harsh on the liver.

here is a good place to buy and learn about chains. I found this usefull in my search. Also I've had great experiences from these guys. https://www.motomummy.com/store/pages.php?pageid=2

tough one man. It's not easy for sure. My wife and I have had to put down 5 dogs since we've been together. One was 17 years old and I think we held on too long. Similarly, she had good days and bad days. On the bad days we'd muster up the resolve to go through with it and then the next morning she be like 5 years younger and we'd change our minds. She had heart degeneration. My wife had that dog since birth and helped her through two divorces of her parents and some really hard times. We held on way too long. Two other dogs we had together were Greyhounds. A lot of love in short lives. Cancer and joint problems made it a very decision because mentally, they both were alert and very loving to the end. Another one was another adoption and we only had her a short time. The last one was a Rottie I had all her life. The typical story of a dog who would jump through a firey building, across country, and hell and back for me and my family. That was the hardest decision I had to make in my life. She was always an arrogant and proud dog. I didn't want her going as just a shell of her former self. I cried for 2 days and didn't get another dog for over a year. Best hindsight I could give you is that it was the toughest decision I made but don't regret it. To this day my most vibrant image of my wife's dog is that of her last days when she was with us too long. For my dog, the timing was right. My fondest memories of her is taking her camping, fending off a robber at my dad's shop, and playing ball on the floor with my then 1 year old son...the night before her last. As you weigh your decision, just don't be "selfish", if you can understand what I mean. Thoughts and prayers as you struggle with this.

replacing a tire is cheaper than new plastics and medical bills. Not worth it IMO. Sure, there are plenty of personal anecdotes about hundreds of miles on a plug. But you only have 2 relatively small contact patches on the road. Why risk one of them?

That's briliant!! I must look into that. Hate dealing with the tents and back of my explorer is fine in the cooler months, but the screen idea is great thinking!! Anyone have pics of this kind of setup or general thoughts on how to do it?

VERY nice. Inspires me to work on the interior of my trailer.

as mentioned, start with a new battery. report back from there

2 inches of ice on the driveway told me "no". That's what I get for never shovelling the snow. Now its really packed down.

Free bump. Come on guys, THis is probably the best MC specific back pack out there. I have one of these and it's great. A lot of padding, a lot nice features. I used to commute an hour one way to work on the R1 with one of these. Large work laptop, pair of shoes, dress pants, a few work files, extra helmet visor. It was a heavy load but I didn't even know it was there with the padding. Ive taken it fully loaded on long 3 day trips as well. You can be in a fully tuck on the highway and barely notice it's on there.

That's too bad. Was hoping there'd be more sport bike vendors and maybe sone vintage bike's for sale...

DUDE! You got a great deal! what a nice bike with some great mods!!

I can't do those days. First week of the month is to busy for me at work.

No, all Power Commanders do not require constant power to maintain it. The only way a map can be “erased” is to use a computer to load a new one in place of it. If it happened to be erased, hopefully you used your laptop and saved a copy of your map. Yous hould do that as soon as you get the chance.
