    Well feel like a huge idot...got the Yamaha Touring Shield today...

    WD 40 also works great on tree sap. And if you got little chillun that went to sleep with gum in their mouth and woke with it in their hair it works for that too. It is not a good cooking spray however.

    SH__26? Not starting

    That was my quote that 03 posted. Most likely, your shop will do a clutch soak, and maybe bleed the clutch fluid line. Hope you have YES. Not that this will happen to you, but I ended having the entire clutch actuator assembly replaced under YES during the second shop visit for the sh_26 thing.

    WA Speed Patrol in force the next few weeks

    Leo is all over the place on SR 504 Spirit Lake Memorial Highway. Slow down or pay up, as the sign sez.

    Drop Club renewal

    Never would have happened with an AE. They have drop detection. A small accelerometer that detects free fall that deploys a hidden spring that boings you back upright. :rolleyes:

    Made a great deal on a used 2009 today

    If she is mad about the purchase, imagine how much worse it is going to get when you are gone all the time on it. :angry2:

    Why is all motorcycle clothing for short fat people???

    You get 30 cans in a case of beer? Sweet.

    More and more of us are becoming bat fastards. The market is reflecting that. In another 10 years, all the HWP folks are going to be shopping at the specialty stores. They will be the outliers. Heh!

    Today was a good day!

    The only "bikers" that don't return my wave in these parts are the guys with the ape hanger bars. I suspect their hands are too numb from lack of blood flow to manage a quick wave.

    Misc. ramblings of a newbie....

    The longer you have the AE, the more funner it gets. What is your favorite aspect of shift by wire?

    Today was a good day!

    I wave to children in cars, bicyclists, pedestrians, old men, all women, and Harley riders as I go around them. And sometimes I bark at the dogs and moo at the cows.

    Dang it, changed my oil and broke my FJR.

    I had a shift error on my 06 ae last year. I was able to do a work around and get it started: Be sure you are sitting on the bike, with the kickstand up, kill switch in the run position.

    My first ride in 2 months

    Better looking clips than I get with my GoPro Hero. What radar detecto matic you got? What's a Rambone?

    Comments on the Auto Shift?

    Well, not many people really "need" an AE. But they are fun. If Yamaha had not marketed them so poorly, they might have sold better. As I understand it, Honda will be offering something like the AE on its new VFR1200. It will be interesting to see how it sells, and how Honda markets it.
