For me it was 1980. The loan guy at the bank was my dad's golfing buddy. He said dad told him not to loan me the money for that "Big Bike".. lol
Loved my CB750F tho..
My 08 needs the rear brake bled if it's sits for more than a month. Been that way since I bought it.
I have bled it in every way possible for 11 years and it doesn't matter. I've not held it in the air by the front wheel, but I've thought about it...
Just bleed it again and ride..
Thanks for the reminder. There was an event called moonshine run,or something like that, that a forum member named Airboss promoted. I rode through rain for a cheeseburger. I met guys I hadn't seen since a NAFO in Colorado. Good times..
"The bike has a Soupy's lowering kit on it (lowered one inch as I ride it),"
Someone shortened it that didn't know how to weld.
Call around. You should be able to get it fixed for not much $.
Great as usual report Bill. And you look Fit!
Your falling down incident reminded me of a comment I overheard someone telling you once.
"It's painful to watch you walk, but put you on a bike and you are so smooth that it's a joy to watch."

Get something safe but cheap to get started.. New drivers bump in to stuff.
I bought my daughter a better car before she went to college. (2012 4cyl. Ford Fusion)
She's still driving it. It has been trouble free for well over 200,000 miles.

Not sure if that explains it, but it does occur. My wife's Mini brought it to my attention.
I'm wondering if turbo engines are more inclined to the problem?
Answering the OP, I love my 5.0
Right now at lunchtime, 37 feels wonderful.
I think I'll eat my baloney sandwich outside to try to keep my tan.
*edit* single digits in the last few days have been a problem...
A local group started to autocross again last year. Got my old C4 out of mothballs and drive my wife's Mini occasionally.
Looking for a nice S2000 for next year.
Having fun on the backroads on 4 wheels too. I've found I feel more comfortable with the extra protection, and I'm having just as...
