    Torque loss after service.

    Mention the internet to a dealer, go ahead, I dare you. Almost every dealer I've mentioned the internet to rolls their eyes, speaks of the great evil internet with disdain, will tell you the internet has ZERO credibility and will think a lot less of you if you actually *believe* anything you...

    Cautionary Tales about Seth Laam!

    I'm giving Laam the benefit of the doubt, I haven't poked 'em yet for an update. It's only 3:00 CA time, I may yet get a notification. Kaarin and I did discuss a specific calendar date on which the seats are to be delivered, I'll trust them to be as good as their word. When the deal is...

    Cautionary Tales about Seth Laam!

    Our Laam seats were supposed to have shipped yesterday. No notification from Laam that the seats were completed. No notification from Laam that the seats have shipped. No shipping information. Trust. Faith. Confidence. You silly boy.

    Setting the Record Straight about Deflate-gate

    Just as well, Tom probably doesn't like to have his balls spiked.

    Setting the Record Straight about Deflate-gate

    Since Tom can't play with the boys, he is playing with the girls. Only Gisele knows if his balls are soft.

    Smokers (BBQ - not grilling)

    Even though it's pretty lean meat, I'm pretty sure it did. Back in another life, working for A&P I used to order cases of horse meat (labeled as horse meat ;) ) because people bought cases of it. I dunno if it went into people or pets but we went through cases per week.

    EOM 2016 - Registration and Info Update

    Ask Fred W how the buffalo burgers are It was Ron that got the front wheel of his FZ stuck in the split in the pavement leading to very painful knees and other misc. body dingers. This happened during a Green & White ride out of Lebanon, the precursor to NERDS. I have ridden with Ron and...

    EOM 2016 - Registration and Info Update

    The New England roads caused me to buy an ES. Priceless. The ability to simply and easily adjust for road conditions puts the fun back in riding in our area with only a few exceptions that won't be tamed. Looking forward to riding some of the nice roads in the VA/NC/TN area as well as taking...

    Confused about rear top case carrier!

    You need part 1 MC-F48D0-V0-00 which is the aluminum rack they call a "Rear Carrier". The OEM price is $260, you may be able to find it for less from other parts sellers. I believe it comes with a template which guides you on how to cut the plastic where the rack goes under the seat. I saw...

    Spider Bite Repellent or Cure

    No, Yamaha got it right with the Gen I -- then 'improved' the design for Gen II and up.

    Irritants

    Evil flag man in Vermont. He swung the flag at head level at Fred W and his wife as they went by him, fortunately he missed. He did manage to stop us and the rest of the ride behind me. Then he proceed to poison the air telling me about his own personal brand of honor and righteousness and...

    Best oil to stick with for new bike?

    IMO -- Avoid high mileage engine oil, the kind meant for engines with >100k miles. These oils typically contain seal swelling agents, intended to prevent or mitigate front & rear engine seal leaks and control valve guide seal leaking...

    Sport/Tour selection

    ^^^^^^ Funny how that works. If I tried to commute in the T mode I'd be dead within 2 miles of work. When I need to go, I need to go (!), none of this throttle nanny telling me NO when a Peterbilt is trying to run me down or I need to accelerate into a hole in the traffic.

    (Possibly) MC Related Vascular Condition

    You may want to carry an ICE card or ICE pull-out pocket tag (In Case of Emergency) to alert the med help that you are taking blood thinners in the event you can't speak for yourself. It will also contain your emergency contact information. Dunno if it will help with your emergency treatment...
