We use Costco IdentityGuard. Has been very useful to find issues with one's "public record" and sort them out. Also very interesting to see how many ways my name can be misspelled. Theresa and I have separate accounts with them which at times has helped pick up some errors. Like some here, I...

Thanks to FJRay and all for a great time. We headed over to Ashland, rode the long way around Crater lake on the way. Then over to the coast; Eureka, Gualala then home. Have to come back next year as we never got our Reubens. (Don't ask why!)

Count us in. Theresa wants to stay an extra day or come earlier so we can go for a hike at Lake Paulina. Have to see how to fit it in with the rally before this one.

The brake light is not on (compared the two bikes side by side). [That brake light is bright!] Neither hand not foot brake will activate light. Just got back home. Bike is due for 20k service tomorrow morning so will see what they come up with. Hopefully a quick fix as we leave for the Reuben...

I lean towards the common ground hypothesis. I forgot to add that the cover on the glove box on the left will not release either. No changes or additions were made to the bike in the last 15 k miles, other than the 16 k service. Will disconnect the battery and see what that does. Ended up back...

Cruising along yesterday, went to set cruise, wouldn't set. Looked at panel; amber CC icon flashing. WTF! ABS icon also flashing! Pulled over a ways up the road, turned bike off. Turned it on and got a 090 code showing in the display panel. (Brake light switch) ABS on solid. Started engine...

PayPal sent for Theresa and I. Looking forward to two big chunks of rare prime rib.

Some friends have asked why we ride so far apart. Theresa's answer "If Murray goes down, I don't want to ride over him." Definitely proved the right thing to do in my last accident.

I noticed recently that many of the heli ambulance services have been merging. CalStar in California, the ones who hauled me to the trauma center, has merged with AirMedCare so we now have coverage from over a dozen services in the West.

The dealer referred me to ColorRite for paint but when you do a search on the 2015, it only gives you the paint code for the tupperware and the side vent panels. They do list three different Yamaha silvers (SL, S8 and S3) but there is no indication which parts get which silver. The wheels are...

Yes, I did a search, including NEPRT and the BIN as well as online and through the dealer but was unable to find the paint codes for the frame (looks to me like there are three different shades of silver depending where on the frame or engine) or for the wheels. Need some touch-up on the frame...

Arrived home late on the 5th with no restart problems with normal startup procedure. I used to consult in equipment reliability, mostly hardware. It was always frustrating when a problem cured (or appeared to cure) itself.

Yes. Had about 4 hot restarts on each bike today. Despite our best intentions to try some of the ideas, we just tapped the start button and they fired up smoothly. Maybe they don't like fuel measured in liters.

Some things to try. Since both bikes have the problem, Theresa will try the rbentnail approach and I will try the roger one. Of course, for a real test, we need a third bike as a control. Heading out tomorrow morning after two days visiting relatives in Idaho.

Both our bikes have recently had problems restarting when hot. Normally you just tap the button after going through the entire turn-on sequence and the engine fires up immediately. Typical failure scenario is -- stop for gas after an hour or two of spirited riding, fill the tanks, key on and...

A couple of days ago, the "Yamaha" labels on both our right side case bags fell off! Unfortunately they dropped in the dirt and what adhesive was left collected a lot of dirt. It happened overnight and there they were, lying on the ground! It wasn't that hot that day, only 96F. Will get them...

We have the Scala Q3 MultiSet. Even with new, fully-charged batteries, we get five hours or less communication time. This is with no music or GPS. The VOX does not work very well so we have to keep the units linked at all times.

Seems to me this belongs in NEPRT along with the best oil for long distance riding.

Who cares? I certainly do not! No vote cast.

We'll be at another rally based in Markleeville that weekend. May see you on Ebbetts or Sonora passes.
