I'm back to black with an '08, baby.

I never understood why anyone was so enamored with the 2007 grotesque black-cherry-lavender color. It is the only color I would never consider buying. But I suppose it's a matter of personal taste. Mine just happens to be impeccable.

I had a similar problem with my '06. I loved the color, could do without the snatchy throttle which Ivan's flash almost corrected, but it just couldn't take being hit by a car. Now I love the '08.

Just remove the lever. It's excess, unnecessary weight. And using the brakes is over-rated.

The one you currently own is always the best.

That much authentic crocodile skin would make the seat pair worth a few thousand dollars. I wonder if it's faux?

I like my tinnitus. It reminds me of being back in the mid west in the summer with all the cicadas screaming. Of course it would be nice to turn them off at will but they're not having it. Lots of things going on in my seventies that just aren't very co-operative. Still above ground, though...

Here is an excellent photo of the ABS actuator connector posted by SooterG. Also, a great YouTube video of the ABS flush posted by Two Wheeled Obsession.

This is an excellent summary, especially this: which always seems to happen.

I only ask because I have been fooled by a leak that appeared under the rear brake caliper. It turned out being shock oil that ran down the swing arm and dripped onto the floor right under the rear brake caliper.

Are you certain it was gear oil? Viscous, same smell?

My local speed limit is always whatever is in front of me. Very accurate.

I like the smooth profile that your newly-modified wheel presents. I've always been of the opinion that valve stems on motorcycle wheels are unsightly and unnecessary.

Careful, Greg. that's a very gender-specific question.

I had a group of 15 in Duncanville, TX, ranging in age from seven to seventy nine. The sky was cloudy in the morning, then switched to partly cloudy as the moon encroached on the disc of the sun providing frequent visibility. About 40 seconds before totality a large cloud slid over the sun...

This is an excellent point. I thought, however, that outies start to leak immediately after installing them.

That hose is the radiator overflow line. Oil is not coming out of it, it's dripping off of it. I wonder if it's coming from the oil filter or oil filter gasket. I try my best to keep oil off that line and the little sponge when I replace the oil filter but never seem to succeed. See that the oil...

I mix tires as well. I always put on a front tire that is smaller than the rear.

Earl- I have a big crowd of family and friends staying in a house in the Dallas area. I'm thinking 18 people will be there. I'm not riding, though. If you want another 30 seconds of totality you can ride another 90 miles to Ennis or 55 miles to Gatesville which are both right on the eclipse...

Is the engine turning over every time you press the start button or is it dead until you press the button a couple of times?
