After my mishap in November I had to buy a new "right side" cowling to replace the cracked one. I got it new for $187 and it came with a finished paint in black. I think I got it from Cruiser Customs but not sure because I bought a few items from different places. I'll check my reciepts and post when I get home.

There is a product called TSP (tri sodium phosphate) that works well. I use it on all my siding, soffat, gutters every spring and cleans them up real nice.

Don,It all depends on your utility provider and what source is used to produce electricity (hydro/coal/natural gas). Living in southern Louisiana all of our electricity is produced from natural gas so as oil and gas prices go up, so do the utility bills with the pass through. My house is unfortunately total electric. The developer never ran a natural gas line when the area was being developed. I live in a 2100 sq ft house with and above ground pool and hot tub. In the winter which is very mild my heater is set on 63 and rarely comes on and the electric bill averages around $150-200. In the peak of summer with everything running including the a/c my electric bill averages $425-475. Do your research and calculate your payback before investing.

I just stop drinking beer and the weight falls off. Have been going to a local gym for the past 5 years 3-5 times a week, cardio and weight training. The beer is my downfall and makes me soft around the middle no matter how much I train.

Permeation. Permeation is the normal process by which the air in a tire bleeds through the tire’s body or carcass. It is typical for an "air" filled tire to lose 1-2 psi of pressure every month through normal permeation whereas it can take several months for a NitroFilled tire to lose a single pound of pressure. Temperature Change. All gases expand and contract with temperature. If you live in an area that experiences dramatic temperature changes, you will have to adjust your tire pressure accordingly. Typically you will only have to adjust your tire pressure "up", adding pressure as ambient temperatures decrease. Count on losing about 2% of your total tire pressure for every 10 degrees in temperature reduction.

Why Inflate with Nitrogen? Compressed air is your tire’s worst enemy. Air is about 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, and 1% other. Nitrogen is inert, non combustible and non corrosive. Oxygen, on the other hand, is immensely destructive to rubber and other tire materials. As soon as a tire is manufactured and exposed to air, the effects of “oxidation” begin to deteriorate the rubber. Over time it loses its elasticity and strength, just like an old rubber band you’ve probably found around your home. This same process occurs in tires inflated with air as the oxygen attacks the rubber molecules, working from the inside out, until the oxygen, and its destructive properties, permeates the tire structure and ultimately the tread. The purity of nitrogen available from nitrogen generators generally ranges from 95% (low purity) to 99.9% (high purity). A minimum of 95% purity in the serviced tire is the minimum allowable purity that must be maintained in the tire to enjoy the benefits that nitrogen provides. Tire Pressure loss: Permeation.

Clean air is getting hard to come by these days.

Had the right knee scoped in 91 and againg in 2001. (cartilage and bone fragments) Just had the left one done in May this year. The first two on the right knee took about 8 weeks to heal, the one on the left knee this year I was cutting grass 3 days after surgery and back to work in 18 days. Absolutely no pain after the surgery. Had to be on self injections of Lovenox to avoid clotting and went through a series of Synvysc injections (made from rooster combs) to replace the cushion in the joint from the cartilage removal. Hope you heal up fast.

I installed a power boosted antenna inside the fairing for the radio. Got it at Pepboy's and get great reception.
