    Not knowing the laws of various states and I don't think any of us profess to be legal wizards , I would think that the owner of any business or property would be libel and responsible for the proper upkeep of their property to which the public has access. I would say that seeing as there had been several incidents at the same spot which had been documented by the police and no action taken to prevent any further occurances, why would the onus be on...in this case....the rider? In know for instance in Windsor and I assume the rest of Ontario if you don't clear snow from the side walk in front of a business or residence within a resonable amount of time you can be fined and if someone is injured because of their negligence, sued. I'm sure some of my Canadian brothers will correct me if I'm wrong. This may be like comparing apples and oranges but libel is still libel. Thats my take on this anyway. Buddy, hope you heal soon.

    NOW HERE'S WHAT THEY DID TO MINE....... They put the bike on the lift then removed the left saddle bag. Then he left the axle bolted tight and removed the four nuts at the rear of the drive shaft tube. Then with a rubber mallot he taped that area a few time and a gap appeared at the back of the tube. He used feeler gauges to get the amount of gap. It was .020 on mine and he stated that that was not as much as he expected with my rear end noise. He made a .020 shim and installed it and rode it like I said. JerryK It sounds like a simple procedure, but how did he get the shim over the drive shaft and over the 4 studs without removing the wheel? So like georges said, its a stress thing not gear lash. Ian

    Sorry to hear about your accident, hope your road rash heals up soon. I use a jacket made by Tecnic which is armored at the elbows and back I believe its made from Cordura as are the pants I use, which are armored at the knee's and thighs. This is similar to the one I have. http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/1/1/39/11152/ITEM/Teknic-Tornado-Jacket.aspx Ian

    I thought Loch Ness was the only place with a prehistoric monster, I guess they breed them in Ohio to. Maybe we could get a tattoo artist to come and decorate those hump's !!! Ian

    Lonna, I'd like to put a request in reeeeal early for one of those Cherry cheesecake's, the one you brought to the Detroit MD was sooooo delish and would go well with the above quote. Ian

    Seeing as there seems to be some delicacies being shown, here is a traditional Lancashire dish called Tripe, which is the lining of a cows stomach, once boiled put on vinagar and feel it slide down your throat. Ian [ATTACH]24032[/ATTACH]

    I'll second that Chuck, I rode today...Fri...and it was about -2 C, the only thing cold was my fingers. Maybe heated is the only way to go! Ian

    Sorry if I confused, once your foot is back on the board slide the boot, running shoe or flip flop... ... back, then there it is. Ian

    Like SilvrT, this is my first with floorboards and heel shifter but I had no trouble getting used to them. When I go into 1st I just slide my boot back till the heel hits the shifter, no problem. The only pegs I like now are highway pegs, just for a change of position. Ian

    Sure looks nice, but if you miss a turn or it slides out, the drop on the left side looks like a hell of a way down. I don't think I'm that ad-Venturist. Ian
