Well then picture this: I'm retired; have six children, seven grandchildren, one great-grandson and I 'specially have the roots of my red hair colored silver. :rolleyes: Kasey

Hi Kasey,Did you change to a custom seat? Yes, but only after riding it for half a year to see if the seat would break in. No joy. Then I went to Rich's in Seattle after seeing an owner's photos on the site of the process and Rich built my custom saddle; it was worth every $$!! We'll keep in...

Hello Maggie - female rider here from Southern Alberta. Seattle was just a hop away from Abbotsford before I moved away last year. How do I like my '03? - the best bike I ever owned. Advice - get one as fast as you can, eh. :clapping:

Thanks for your excellent post, Ari, "I wouldn't have wanted to miss that" and I look forward to more of your eloquent observations. In my opinion your writing style rates right up there with four long-time favorite slice-of-life mc writers of mine: Cycle World's Peter Egan, Warren Harhay, Bob...

Count me out as well with PayPal; I've had two weeks of them jerking me around including having to wait for a mailed confirmation # when their automated 'Location Confirmation' phone caller was unintelligible and even with the mailed # they still won't let me in and don't accept the very same...

Congrats on a great choice Centreline - I bought my '06 KLR used last fall with only 1K km and took it to Yuma Dec/Jan. As a longtime street rider I'm still learning how to really give it a workout on the 'less-attractive' surfaces and I'll take credit for my enthusiasm vs. skill at this point...

I'm booked. It remains to be seen whether I join the 'gang' in BC or meet part way. Kasey

@ uralrob - If you are who I think you are that means a computer is a recent addition to your household. I've had a couple of typewritten letters from your lovely lady a couple of years back when she had just ordered the '05 FJR and I've been meaning to respond. I never did get to Bridgewater...

Another '03 re-ticker here; fixed Jan. 05. Canadian. No warranty. Perhaps the ever gracious Mr. WC will have a listen in Reno to confirm my diagnosis. I'm not going to have a hissy fit just yet; I'll ride the season out and see what's happening then. Kasey

While the bike was moving it lost some oil but as soon as I pulled over and put it on the sidestand the rest poured out - fortunately onto the shoulder and not the traffic lanes. The rear tire was thoroughly coated and had to be replaced to avoid a potential liability issue with my insurance co...

Good idea, but not sufficient protection for what happened to me last summer when an iron bar flew up from the back of a truck while I was traveling at 120 kph. Kasey

Who else is using a Mac? I just bought a newer one w. Tiger OS and I can't find a program within that will open .wmv files. My old OS used to open them automatically. What would you suggest? Kasey

Yes I've got the '03 in W. Canada and I love everything about it. I've had bikes off and on since the 70's but my previous ride for eight years was an '84 Venture Royale and I thought that was quick and nimble. The only drawback was keeping it in good mechanical condition which is why I started...

Hey, what's that note mean at the bottom on the Lh side of my message at the top of this page? It says 'warn' and has five colored boxes beside it?? I've never posted a rude message or used profanity - I'm a Canadian granny for heavens sake. Kasey ;)

I'm registered but haven't booked a room yet; coming from S. Alberta, Canada. Looking forward to seeing all the friendly faces again! Kasey

If it turns out you're the same Belly who shipped his bike to NZ..... yes, please post some pics to whet my appetite. I'm planning a trip there over next year's Canadian winter. No planning done yet but I know my traveling companion and I are thinking of buying bikes there then selling when we...

I'd be interested in a CLASS session rather than ripping around a track without any instruction. My 2 cents worth. Kasey
