    Something for airplane geeks

     I've seen numerous references to the T28 in use by our USAF FACs in the "secret" war in Laos in the late '60s, also in use by the Laotian AF as a ground attack platform in the same war.

    Had to put dog down.

    They give so much and ask for so little and depart from us much too soon. Sorry for your loss, it's never easy.

    Mysterious RAM X-Mount Failure

    Replaced my X-Grip with this. Comes with a tether, but I've never needed it.  After a year of use, my phone never came loose. I'm not familiar with iphones, so you might want to check for correct fit.

    COVID-19 Catch All

      Makes sense. I'd been wondering why those two seemed to be getting hit harder than the rest of the world. My dad used to say, "If you lie down with dogs, you'll get up with fleas."

    Bike not ridden for a few years, now problems with rear brake and ABS system

    Slave cylinder is part# 28. The banjo bolt at the master cylinder is the one I mentioned. When I bleed mine, I wrap a rag around the bolt, pump the lever a half dozen times, and, while holding the lever in, break the bolt loose and re tighten it. Air tends to go to the highest point. This purges...

    whining about valve adj.

     When Suzuki made the Madura, they developed a hydraulic lifter that would rev to 9000 rpm in the 1200s and 10,500 rpm in the 700s. I've hit the rev limiter on mine on more than one occasion and never had a problem in 74,000+ miles.

    Bike not ridden for a few years, now problems with rear brake and ABS system

     You might try alternately bleeding at the banjo fitting at the master cylinder and the slave cylinder. Air likes to rise to the highest point and I've found this method to be effective on all four of my bikes with hydraulic clutches. Be careful not to get any fluid on painted surfaces.

    Laying Down Rubber

    Glad you were able to walk away from that one. That kind of crap isn't fun on two wheels or four.
