  1. I agree. The mountains are the best location for a ride these days. I am still wondering why West Virginia has no reported case of COVID-19. Enjoy your rides. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. At any rate, I am settled with the Dewalt pump Max20V Lithium Ion. I like its performance on the review and I have several battery 20V Max 6 amp packs on hand already. Thanks all for your input. [emoji54] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. To be honest, I am not sure if I can go for another 2 months like this. I simply want to walk in a grocery store and just buy what I need. Not being able to dine out or watch a movie or go somewhere is just not living. Someday and time will tell, we will be infected by the Corona virus and God forbid that I can survive the infection. I'll be hunkering in the house all day, but at least we all can get to ride as we wish. Ride Safe and keep washing your hands.
  4. I think I can just tow that.
  5. That looks very nice and it comes with its own small bag for storage. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. I am a strong believer of superstitious beliefs. [emoji18] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. During this National Emergency and CDC’s health guidelines, I’ll be spending more time indoors - so I might as well do some online shopping. As far as bike air pump and plug kit is concerned that I can carry with me, what most of you recommend that is proven to be the most reliable for years to come... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. With all due respect, I don’t see the importance and significance of having a temperature gauge on the air cooled SVTC. I am not an engineer nor have any clear knowledge of the Yamaha engine and intricacies of its technology. FWIW, LongHaulPaul has rode 100K miles with no major engine issues in less than 2 years - so no worries. Yamaha engine is tough and can withstand some abuse. IMO, if the SVTC engine will ever overheat - your legs will be over cooked long before you realize it is already overheating. [emoji4][emoji2][emoji4] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. Praying for your speedy recovery, Don. Don’t forget your medications and do get A LOT of Rest. [emoji120][emoji120][emoji120] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. LOL on Toilet paper. We all need to realize that there is no food shortage in the US. No to this.... [emoji851] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. I see the difference between States. You are in Kentucky and my wife teaches in Maryland. They don’t have to come for 2 weeks, while schools are closed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. I am sure students and teachers alike are speculating that their Scheduled Spring break will be used to make up days lost as a result of the school closures nationwide. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. Didn’t get the chance to ride for the last 4 days. Today / rode to work for a 30 mile commute and at 35°, it felt so nice to be back on the bike. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. I didn’t bother going to the grocery store Thursday and Friday knowing the situation. We have enough supply for a week or so, but I am hoping the buying frenzy will slow down within the next few days. Planning to hit Walmart early tomorrow.

  16. Glad to hear China is doing much better than a few months ago. Now, we see a ripple effect of the virus in Europe. Humanity will get through this one way or another. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  17. Pa. Gov. had just announced the same thing, but will only close for 2 weeks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  18. I've used the heat several times and the different levels does work.
  19. It is truly unprecedented. Univ. of MD, Towson Univ, Loyola U and Johns Hopkins and surrounding CC colleges and more have also switched to online instructions. I am also a huge basketball fan and am disappointed that I will not be able to enjoy March Madness next week.
  20. Today, there is just too many things in the news regarding the virus and efforts to slow the spread. Pa. Gov. advise Pennsylvanians to limit/avoid Malls, Movies, etc. .... Maryland Public Schools will be closed for 2 weeks starting next Monday...and the list goes on and on and on. The only thing that will stop me from riding is the weather, but we should all continue to monitor the corona virus situation and recognize the ongoing uncertainty and concern that it is causing. Ride Safe and Wash Your Hands for at least 20 seconds.

    tires

    I don't have experience with the Tour Master, but I have the Shinko 777 installed front and rear on my '07. So far, I have about 8K miles on the rear and looks like it still has another 5K to 6K miles left. The front - I had just installed them a few months ago. Overall, I've been very happy with the ride. Good grip and much quieter than my previous Bridgestones.
  22. Very nice. Congrats on your new ride.
  23. Belated Happy Birthday, Don!
  24. Yes Sir. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  25. Hello. Earlier this afternoon , I contacted a friend who is also the Yamaha Field Service Advisor East region and he stated that I should blame it to my gauge. I will have to take a closer look at the sidewall of the tire and determine what is its max pressure rating. Also today, I requested my fellow worker (very good ham radio operator and we have known each other for years) who works in our calibration department to check the accuracy of my tire gauge. He is very happy to take a look at the gauge as soon as possible. I’ll let you guys know what transpired. [emoji1696] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
