It's been cold for Houston (low 30's a week or so ago then low 40's in the mornings) but . . . I can still ride. I don't mind being cold, I don't mind being wet but I hate being cold and wet.

We will keep Earl and you in our Prayers. May God watch over Earl during this and Bless your entire Family with a speedy and full recovery.

It's been a long long time since I've ridden in snow. I highly doubt I would do it today. Cold - no issue but snow on the road is a different story today. BTW knobby tires were worse unless there was at least a few inches on the ground. I found a Mid level tread pattern worked best. The pic below was the bike I rode in the winter in Ohio as a kid. He found this going through his stuff a few months ago, it was right after I gave it to him.

I need a vacation but not in that storm.

That's normally a driver issue. If you want to dig through logs to identify well. . . . . . That can be annoying. I would just check the Video adapter mfg web site, motherboard chipset and the subset for the hard drive. Most mfgrs have tools on their web sites to help with this.

Remember as far as Drs go, they don't call it practice for nothin'. You know yourself far better than they do an you need to push to get better. All Drs I know want you to stay home from work and sit around, I'm not that type. I had a run in with a table saw ~20 years ago. I'll keep it short but I missed 1 day of work right after it happened and 1 day after surgery to repair most of the damage. I feel this really helped me mentally as well as physically. I'm and IT guy so I can work with 1 hand if necessary and was not putting my well being at risk although but the Dr thought differently. First day of physical Therapy they were testing mobility and strength. Therapist ask what I was doing and besides work I was rubbing the palm of my hand on my steering wheel - constantly. She called the Dr into the room and said we're done no more therapy needed. Dr gave me a little grief and then said well done. He was a nationally know surgeon specializing in repairing nerves in the hand. Actually did a paper on my hand because my wife had take pictures all along the way. I talked to him about 5 years later and he now recommends Grip, Squeeze and Rotate like I did on the steering wheel using whatever to grip on. Got a chuckle out of it. I had to replace that steering wheel after a year and I still find myself doing this occasionally.

I know nothing, NOTHING. 🤪

🤣🤣🤣🤣 So drunk neighbor it was.

Your Drunk Neighbor trying to get to the wrong house. 🤣

Good luck with the surgery and the recovery. The disclaimer sounds more like an opportunity to have some fun?

Reminds me of those 1940's chase scenes where they double the film speed.

It's a time issue. I'm working at the moment. I may or may not get back to it.

OK I watched the first 5 minutes but it was really the still shot in the comment that got me. Specifically after @Patch's comment above. My first though was Stargate the movie. 🤣

OK b4 y'all run me down I did do a text search on all the posts. Before I joined I had an '06 that started running hot on me. I went through a lot of stuff and spent a couple hundred on parts and the bike kept running hot. I'm on a ride with a group, get stuck in traffic, the temp light goes on and have basically given up thinking out loud of selling the bike. I open the manuals on my laptop as soon as we get to the Hotel and Pour through the electrical first. No reason just did. Then it hit me The radiator fan must not be coming on. I start looking for a replacement. The that light bulb moment, the fuse for the fan. Finally find it and replace it. It did not look blown but that did the trick. Just a thought.

Yep. Welcome to IT. 🤪

Yep.

Beautiful and a great bike. Loved my '06, if it would have had reverse I might have waited a little while longer before getting the SVTC.

I removed my cassette on my 06 with no issues. I had the radio connected to my phone using the aux port. I don't recall anything that would have affected the cruise if the radio head were removed.

Since I'm in the Houston I'll still have while to mow.

I personally don't have experience in this but I have read several threads. Under the Bags is a protective area and the engine guards both help from a straight drop. I gotta say though at ~950lbs I have seen posts where help was needed. I have dropped an '06 in the past and was able to stand it up on my own.

Sorry was at work when I noticed it. Thanks

Don, I did notice 2 names have the same photo. Ride in Peace to all of them.

thanks for all your hard work @Freebird. Well done and the banner photo is excellent.

I agree with you on all the bloat that gets thrown on the devices today. I still refuse to have Alexa or Google in my house. I do, however, use SIRI when I ride for full hands free stuff like changing the navigation. I don't even need to look at the phone. If it doesn't work and I absolutely need to do it I pull over to do it by hand.

LOL this sounds like user error. Are we back to the ID 10 T error from the other thread. 😅
