    running bad (feeling blessed)...limped home (walking on air)

    I choose to focus on the reports from the Boston tragedy of the heros: 1) EMT immediately going in harms way to triash and treat the injured 2) Police responding to protect, serve, and have the cell towers turned off 3) and my favorite, both the Military Members running the race in cameo...

    running bad (feeling blessed)...limped home (walking on air)

    I realize that, my friend...I guess, in a way, I posted it primarily for me...that money is sacred...I probably needed to see it in black and white to be reminded I'm worthy...it's not a big deal, I'm good and "stable" with it, but I'm so grateful, wayyyyy grateful, and am still at the top of...

    this is so cool... re: clutch wear; yes, my throttle control skills suck...albeit, I use the clutch friction point instead that's me pulling out from a stop with the engine at 3-4k rpm the the clutch feathering like a muddapuckka I wish I had let you take my service manual...you are welcome...

    bracket for mounting Escort 9500

    my Adaptive TPX is a motorcycle specific unit that is waterproof/vibration resistant. It's been "industrial strength" Velcro to the front brake reservoir with no issues I'd consider putting the Passport in a plastic protective case and if the bottom is flat, you can Velcro

    there were rifle pops, each followed by the clinking of expended brass cartridges, a pause, the hallowed sound of taps fading into the forest as weeping replaces the notes

    Harley's Plight

    short post from me: Goldwing, VTX, Shadow ok, a few more remarks: my understanding that the greatest amount of profit company wide was from financing...anybody could buy a Harley (at list price) if they would sign a 19% collateral loan. Well, my local dealership has from 50-150 repo bikes...

    I thought the ST1100 plastic was a bi$#h ...

    I dunno...maybe it's cause mine is Gen 1...I found the retract plug after (only) removing the 4 panels surrounding the cockpit. For the horns, I only removed the 2 inner black panels surrounding the top of the fork sliders. My panels have only been off for (WFooshee's) AVCC install or engine...
