I talked to a knowledgeable guy at the dealership. He said to just bring it by. He said they could sort it out in a few minutes right in the parking lot. Must be easier than I made it out to be. Ill head over there on Thursday morning and report back after that.

I went out and looked for it. It looks like some Tupperware will have to come off to get to it. I think Ill just talk to the service manager next time Im over there. My routing looks good. And free play is good stop to stop. If they could just reduce it a bit, it would be nice. One thing 30...

I havent looked at it yet, but if its like other cable driven butterflies, there should be adjusters near the forks. You have to make sure that routing is correct so that theres no impact on free play as the handle bars are turned lock to lock. And you have to also be careful about the impact...

It doesnt look particularly desperate to me. There are some for sale on cycletrader. But the Deluxe version is pretty much gone at the major discounters, like the dealers in Russellville, Rockingham, Chattanooga. The new model will compete with the K1600B. The BMW has 40 more bhp and weighs a...

I dont mind being called Joe. But Joe probably minds my being called Joe. My name is Glen. When I signed up in 2008, I chose El Toro as an alias. Joe had already chosen El Toro Joe ... but the software viewed these two as distinctly different and let my choice stand. I did not find out...

I dont know about the tiers. We signed up long ago and it was included. Im not billed separately for it. Its called BeIN Sports. They run the other FIM races too, like MotoAmerica. Its a chance to see venues that you might not see otherwise, like Barber Motorsports Park. You get to keep up...

I salute him. I could not have done that. Quite impressive. Thanks for sharing.

I used to subscribe, and I enjoyed it more than I enjoyed the commercial interrupted Fox Sports One incarnation that came along later on cable or satellite service. When Bein Sports picked it up, the advantages of the subscription diminished greatly ... at least for me. Theres a lot of good...

Fast forward to October 2017. Resistance is futile. The close out deals as the GL1800 marches toward a new generation were too good to ignore. So ... I picked up what appears to be one of the last of the leftover 2016 Deluxe models. The bike is a lot of fun. The cg is very low. It handles...

^^^^^^ What he said. My first motorcycle was fixed this way by the previous owner. The fuse did not blow and instead the wiring harness melted. I was stranded 40 miles from home. If it wont stay lit with the right fuse, they need to figure out why. Some dealers arent up to it. Find one that is.

He has succumbed. Only 66 years old. Sigh ....

Still unconfirmed as I write this. It is likely that he wont make it, but hes not yet succumbed.

Dropping the umbrella and going to high limits on auto only works if you don't need high liability limits on other activities, like home ownership, rental properties, farm, etc. If you've got serious assets that could be sought by an enterprising lawyer, the umbrella protects them. If you...

So much for Dani's charm. He's whining about Rossi not letting him pass easily. Must be taking lessons from Lorenzo and Marquez.

It may yet. Marquez is only up by 15. There are still 100 points in play.

I think if a lawyer could legally make a case for a safety issue, it would be hard for the manufacturer to ignore an uncompleted recall. If it were for a paint or chrome defect, or some other issue that didn't impact safety, they'd probably send you away unhappy.

SPOILER ALERT FOR ARAGON RACE: @@@@@@@@@@@@@@ **********%%%%%******** It was a quartet of Spaniards ahead of Rossi at the end of the day today. Lorenzo's second time on the podium this year. Marquez and Pedrosa were one and two. Rossi finished fifth. Marquez was quite daring. It is easy to...

Rossi qualified for Q2, and then made it onto the first row. Marquez helped him by crashing on his hot lap. Go Marquez!! (There's the exit). I've thought about this issue of Dani and HRC some more. Obviously when you have two prima donnas on the team, there is conflict, jealousy, and drama...

My mother's mother passed away in her late 60's. My mother's father never adjusted. He lived to age 96. He had very strong Christian faith, so he was always confident that they would be reunited eventually. Still, his strong faith did not take away the pain of his loss. You're already doing...

There is nothing wrong with abandoning an imprudent type of ride, like a major traffic commute, while continuing other types of rides. I would not hesitate to get back on the bike and ride, but the stress of duking it out with 6 lanes of stop and go lunatics is not worth the ribbon for most...
