    Tech Day XII

    But gave the rest of a chance to talk about how dumb it was to come back on a bike. Thank you Wayne.

    Heaven Help US

    It took me far too long to realize that was the same guy.

    Tech Day XII

    Rolled in about 12:15PM. Definitely time for new boots. High mode on the grips didn't work so I had to settle for low. A casualty of putting the bike back together I'm assuming. Fortunately, that's a wiring issue and that's right in my wheelhouse. Bike ran much better on the way home...

    Man, I'm going to get banned from Tech Days.

    Tech Day XII

    Nick & I have the honeymoon suite at The Pines for Friday night.

    Tech Day XII

    Seems like there is always some form of precipitation. So a dumb question. How would I know if I need the CCT done? I'm not planning on it this weekend, since it just popped in to my head and I figure it is too late to get the parts I need and fit it in to the schedule anyway. With over 50k...

    Tech Day XII

    Well I do suppose that this will be the first Tech Day weekend where the weather isn't absolute crap, so maybe it's worth washing. My wire stock is depleted. We'll see what El Toro Joe borrows from work. May still need to run out and get some.

    Tech Day XII

    You're talking the from the battery to the Fuzeblock right? I think we used 12 or 14 AWG for that. And if you're planning on mounting it in the same spot, I think that will be fine. Didn't we put it by the taillight last time? 16-18 AWG is fine for the peripherals. Just need to make sure it is...

    Ooooh, a shiny new one! Can I touch it? Set myself a reminder to check for wire tonight, but I think we're going to need some.

    New Self-Cancelling Turn Signals Product!?

    I received the following email. Looks like my order went through. I'd be shocked if I got this in June though. Or July. Or August. I'm planning on installing it at the Fall Tech Day, since I don't anticipate it arriving much before then. I've backed a few Kickstarters and have never received...

    Tech Day XII

    We can't make it worse right? We might turn it in to not being salvageable, but not working is still not working. I'm thinking running new wire may just save time and energy. Soldered connections, get rid of that crimped stuff. Or at a minimum, reinforce the crimp connections with some...

    Tech Day XII

    Yay! Electrical issues. My life has meaning and purpose again! That is if you want my help. I'll have my electrical box with me. Soldering iron, heatshrink, multimeter, etc. I've got to look and see what I have for wire. I'm of no use otherwise. I would offer to ride with you for the...

    New Self-Cancelling Turn Signals Product!?

    In a moment of weakness, I ponied up. Not sure that I'll get one though. I apparently did not get the beta email. I used the link in Madmudder's post to get there. When I tried to pay with a credit card, it wouldn't accept it because of my email address. I'm guessing that because I wasn't one...

    Not sure why, but that link took me to a place in Fremont. Think that may be out of your way. Try the short url instead. https://goo.gl/maps/RVGJYcGhJem I'm not coming to breakfast, just trying to be helpful.

    Tech Day XII

    You aren't kidding. About $40 cheaper. I switched my reservation over there. Still open for a roommate. But since it doesn't look like I'll get one, it saves me some money anyway. Originally didn't consider it since I figured I was walking.

    Arrangements can be made.

    Tech Day XII

    OK, I booked my room at the Comstock Inn. Booked a room with 2 queen beds for Friday in case anyone wants to share (and doesn't want to cuddle afterwards).

    Tech Day XII

    Can I throw a throttle body sync to my work order while we're at it? Don't think that has been done, or at least not for a while. Since Casa de Bust is likely full, is anyone else grabbing a hotel room that wants to split the cost? Or at the very least, can I get a ride to mine? I was just...

    Auto Cancelling Turn Signals

    It works out to about $90 for the early test, and $170 for full price. I'm guessing the overseas shipping will be a complete deal breaker. I guessed $179 when they first announced it. I think they would have much better luck selling it for $90 than I do for $170. The engineering geek in me...

    Barbecued FJR

    You've jinxed us all! Great, now I better start looking for a 2016 in preparation for my failed valve check. Andy, since I will be blaming you, I will need to stay at your house while my wife files for divorce after I buy a new one.
