    No air-filter? Great job dealership...

    IIRC, Fred purchased a new air filter for the new engine, but I didn't remember to grab up the old one which was new since the valve replacement or 20k miles. Nothing wrong with that filter. I would have been happy to save you $30 for a new one.

    What happened to Isabella's Engine?

    yes, routinely and including those scorching days, it's common to sit in a parking lot waiting some period of time for the mourners to finally get in their cars, the hearse prepared to depart, and start the escort. I try not to fire up the bike until ready to go, but that judgement is all over...

    I've posted before that the engine has overheated in the past...3 times in 90k miles. Last time was May 2011 on twisty mountain road Hwy 28 from Deals Gap to Chapalla, GA. I was riding it all day, got tired and lazy, and just left the bike in 2nd gear using engine braking and reving to 6k in...
