    Midlothian, Illinois, Chicago Cycle and Sports

    UPDATE...... Since I haven't recieved a call since we spoke last week I figured I would call today (9 days later). They finished it last night before the storm! :blink: Can you believe that? And now I only have to pay $445. I love it. WOW, only 3 and half weeks to repair a fork! I...

    10% Off No-Mar Tire changer

    You mean my Ural tire repair kit won't work on my Feejer? I wish I had the space for this thing and would try and get in.

    Southwest Wisconsin Spin

    I'm going to try and make it. Let me see if I can trade a few days with someone and see what happens. I will probably be only able to make it Saturday.

    Dealers

    I disagree Geezer. My shop fee is $77 an hour. Also when dealing with my fork issue they told me they would sell at cost. They quoted me $380.00 but would sell them to me for $220.00. Thats one hell of a mark-up. Not going to tell you what tire mounting goes for. And when I did call he...

    Dealers

    Just sitting here reading the forum and started wondering something. Yeah I know thats a dangerous thing for me but here goes. Why do we purchase these bikes, which aren't cheap by the way, and accept the poor service from these dealers? Here it seems alot of the more experienced riders...

    Effect of dehydration?

    Ok. If sweat is just water do you really need the electrolytes from gator-aid or any of those sports drinks? Wouldn't a proper diet and plenty of water during the ride be just as good?

    Ignition failure

    After reading about all the ignition failures on the feejers I'm feeling Yamaha and GM outsource from the same supplier. I've been hearing about ignition failures on Gm cars for awhile and thought I had a good one. Well it started acting up a couple a days ago. Now I have to replace the...

    Effect of dehydration?

    I don't know about that one. To many "Oh Crap" moments in the city. I would probably end up choking to death on the side of the road. :rip_1:

    Burning smell

    I had the same smell until I lost one of those foam pads between the exhaust and the bodywork. Haven't had the smell since.

    Gremlin bells

    Don't know if its just a Harley thing. I came across it at another forum (not Harley). Then as I goggled it I found there were made for many kinds of bikers. Thinking about getting one for both my bikes. Seems the feejer needs it the most lately.

    Gremlin bells

    Just curious how many of you ride with them. Since you can't buy them or install them yourself (cancels the juju) how did you get them? Should be safe to ask since its past Friday. :rolleyes: Edit: Upon further research I found you can install them yourself. It just doubles the power when...

    Midlothian, Illinois, Chicago Cycle and Sports

    This mess started in April after my fall down and I rode the bike in from Freeport right to the shop. First thing I told them was that I was going to try and do this without going through my insurance since it seems my insurer likes to jack my rates if I breathe to heavy. I told them to check...

    Anything going on this weekend around here?

    I'm going to jail and there will be one less dealer in the Chicagoland area!!!!! :evilgrin: How the hell can you sell a motorcycle and not have the tools to fix it??? I've been able to ride the feejer for 1 week since April 23rd. Now the excuse is that thier fork tool is too small. They...

    Anything going on this weekend around here?

    I have yet to call the dealer but the feejer should be ready today or tomorrow. If not I will probably be arrested or something. Anyone have any plans for rides this weekend? Or is everyone going to be at NAFO?

    Would you buy a Heated Seat? Why or Why not?

    The coldest I've seen was around 15 degrees. I had heated gloves and jacket and layered my pants. I don't have a heated seat and wasn't chilled at all. Invest in heated gear.
