My mom does not like water what so ever... So she gets the packets of drink mixes from the dollar stores, I love the great value sweet tea mix best of all it contains no sugars.. I am also one that loves fresh chilled cow milk... Ill drink it warm too. I strain the spring water from the springs thru coffee filter... And if I have a concern will boil it over camp fire then throw it in the spring along with anything else I want to get cold or stay cold. Now I'm starting to miss being in the country.....

I use a straw to check that but never thought it to be strange... I have also been checking with wed-40 seems to work pretty good then I move to vent hose and blow gently with carbon drain open to help the wed-40 out....

So if water is truly purified I guess it don't freeze... I searched it and found a couple things. I never opened bottle to add the alcohol but I love throwing aftershock and jeigermeister in the freezer.... I just had to wonder what the hell I was fixing to drink and have been drinking thought maybe tainted bottled water... Living life one curve after the other. Vroom scooting, thru the countryside.

' I had a shop put mine on the first go around since it was there anyways and it was only 30 to have it done.. all together it was under a 100 for all the brakes and him to install and bleed them all out after he replaced fork seals... I didn't want to screw my forks up... but I grab both brakes I better be ready to go thru windscreen... Mine is all OEM brakes and still linked but I do notice I use the front more then the pedal so when I go to hit the pedal they feel a bit sluggish so I will use them at the next stop and there fine after that... but I would not count on them for an ALL STOP!! Hate to say I may abondon ship if it seems safer....

Ok so I kind of forgot about a water bottle that I had stuck in the freezer. Well 3 days of being in the freezer you would think it would freeze. Well it didn't!!!! its not even slushie its nice and cold but thats it. I usually buy the Spring water because that is what I grew up on I will not drink city water but will drink the crap out of spring water and well water. So Scientific people on this forum care to take a crack at to why my water is not freezing I thought all water froze at 32 degrees my freezer is a meere 20 degrees...... my big freezer gets as cold as 5 degrees....

I thought that was to keep from getting abducted...

I no longer have a reserve lighting unit and yeah tried turning the bulb around and unplugging the light that did not work. anyways once I undid the reserve unit my bright indicator stopped flickering while on dim it would start flickering at 1500 rpm and above so no more of any of that all is well now...... everything is led now but at the cost of the reserve lighting unit and canceling unit. I had to also wire up a 3 prong flasher for the four ways basically all that had to be done there is a ground added....

If you can see the main plug connectors that is where you solder for the most part what your doing is rejuvenating the solder points, if you look in firstgen tech read only and look under computer I think there is a picture there....

I don't know how much gas is everywhere else but premium without ethanol is 2.82 and regular gas is 2.08 so.... if I buy the cheaper and spend $8 on seafoam... its cheaper to go with no ethanol. I still put a shot or two of mystery oil in there.... trying that out just cause I have never tried the stuff..... While we on this subject I got a gallon of T5 synthetic blend of rotella for 14.99 this is still ok with our bikes isn't it? -

Something I would do being as the bike has sat is I would pop open the tank and take a peak in there, So remove seat and pull sending unit out and have a look see with a good bright light, Mine was so rusted that even my fuel sending unit had rust particles on it... I bought 3 gallon bottles of Evaporust $20 or so at O'reily's , and bought nuts and bolts package of ten each. threw all that in the tank with tank removed and went and shook the crap out of it every few hours and sat it at different angle, I did mine for a week, but that was only cause I was waiting on parts for my carbs, I would say 24-48 hours should be plenty of time.. also get yourself a pack of coffee filters so you can strain the evapo rust thru a funnel and use it later for something else. O one more thing too only saying it cause I did it make sure your vents and holes are plugged. I forgot and lost 1/2 gallon of evapo rust....
