    Moving

    I drove my XS11 into a UDontHaul truck. Halfway up the ramp, I was seriously slowing down so I gave the grip a good twist and lofted the front wheel. With all 800 or so pounds (including me) on the rear wheel, it left a nice dent in the aluminum ramp.

    Sad Loss

    It's your choice now, isn't it? Lynda isn't riding behind you any more; she's riding above you. Take care, Howard.

    Ride to Andrew's Service

    Jesus, this is terrible news! We were on vacation and I just found out. Terrible. Count me in, Mike. If anyone needs a place to stay, we're about a half hour from Roseville and we've got several beds. My cell is 916-712-1512 or e-mail my wife at catherine at saluki dot net.

    Co-worker backed up into my bike

    I disagree. A woman drove into the rear end of my XS11 at the gas pumps. She knocked it about four feet forward and it wound up on its side. I billed her for the visible damage. I had a rack rigidly attached to the rear frame (no sub-frame in those days). Imagine my surprise when the rear...

    Ride down and have it done while-u-wait if you can. My wife had him do a little tweaking and got it just right. Been very happy with the saddle.

    How Far on Reserve

    +1 on too many variables. I once drove 52 miles on reserve before I had to park it and call the wife.

    Russell of Rick Mayer seat????

    Ohio, Can't tell you about the Russell, but it doesn't seem to be much of a problem on the Rick Mayer standard saddle. It's built up in the back (think butt cup) but not in the front, where it has a rounded profile. As long as you move a little forward when you hang off, it's not a problem...
