Thanks Randy. I've done that a few times, but they're thicker than fleas, and I was looking for a fast kill method.

I use large vice grip pliers to squeeze back the pistons with the old pads still in them, after cleaning with brake cleaner and a tooth brush.

I've not been able to find a solution for this doing an internet search. Windows 8 and IE 10 browser. on some sites, back-arrow to return to the previous viewed web page doesn't work because the viewed history is filled with links for all the ads displayed along with the real web page. This is annoying, because I'm used to using back-arrow to return to my previous web page, and I do it a lot if researching something. I can work around the problem by using 'create new web page', but years of being able to back-arrow have become a habit. This has only become a problem the last couple versions of IE. I'm certain its the way the web pages are programmed with regards to the commercial ads they all run (mostly from google).

if you put on new pads, they will be thicker, and you WILL have to push the pistons back to install them. This in turn will push up the level of the fluid in the reservoir. If the reservoir is full, it 'may' overflow. I have had that happen. Thats what the 'bleed a little' advice is for. I agree it may be risky (for getting air in the line) unless you follow normal bleeding procedures while lowering the level in the reservoir if needed.

I use the white jug Rotella if I'm not going to ride more than 4,000 miles between oil changes. But I'll use the blue jug synthetic If I think it might be 6,000 miles before I can change oil again, ie: on a long trip. look for jaso-ma certified on the jugs. My Walmart is carrying the correct motorcycle filter, and its in the catalog/cross-reference hanging in the automotive section nearby.

There should be a fuel filter between the tank and carbs.

leaking vacuum lines/caps.

there are a lot of members at the International right now. A couple have gotten into the rear gears, not many. I'd give this another week, then push the thread back to the top. It may not require a complete strip down. There are more than a couple members who have removed the rear gear assembly to have the vmax gears installed.

Thats a good way to wind down after a couple of days at work.

Or turn them loose at the local legislative building so they can entertain your politicians.

This is another internet hoax. Women are easy to understand, all you have to do is what they tell you to do, and when things don't work out, say, 'it was my fault'. That is really a set of IRS rules.

I think there was a Millenium version of the Roadie you might want to be on the lookout for...

Sautee is on the edge of some great riding. 1st. Plan on stopping at the Old Sautee Store for one of their huge & tasty sandwiches. 2nd the Sautee-Nachoochee Community Association is 1/4 mile N of the Old Sautee Store and has several museum exhibits and arts galleries. Also there is the Folk Pottery Museum which houses the largest exhibit of its kind anywhere, and is very well spent time. Riding. just head N on any of the roads out of Sautee. Helen will be crowded, but mid-week isn't too bad and worth a look if you haven't been there before. Take Alt 75 to the Richard-Russell Scenic Parkway (348), then follow GA 180 west to GA 60 and south to Dahlonega. Have Fun. Maybe I'll be able to catch you for some of this. Randy R

There was a big stack of Hostess Twinkies 10-packs next to the checkout aisle at Walmart today. Apparently the Hostess Brands is back in full operation. Http:\\hostessCakes.com I knew everyone would want to stock up.... I don't think Walmart carried Hostess previously.

Get the '07, you won't regret your choice a year from now.

If a light isn't changing, and you're waiting at the intersection, then it's -malfunctioning-.

Cheers Steve

Can you get it to project Playmate of the Month videos while riding?

If your future monthly retirement check isn't going to get bigger by delaying retirement, then I think you might be better off taking the retirement now, putting the retirement money into savings or some investment now, and then going to work elsewhere and living off that, and potentially getting a 2nd retirement check. Also consider that your eventual Soc Sec payment is based on your highest (3 I think) years income. If you will get raises staying where you're at, and can't find a new job with either benefits (like health insurance) or retirement, or significantly better salary, then maybe stay.

My 08 RSTD had Bridgestones on it when new. I got about 8,500 on the rear and 12,000 on the front. I have Avons on it now and like them better.

I look forward to seeing you at Vogel.

I like this one better: http://www.wistv.com/story/22609548/cops-teen-walked-into-home-uninvited-accidentally-shot-himself

The local groceries have started carrying Breyers 'chocolate' flavor yogurt. It tastes like a good quality icecream. I'll be buying lots of it this summer.

Steve, I just saw this. I haven't been on much lately. Hope to see you at Vogel. If you need anything, I only live a few minutes away and would be glad to help with anything I could. Randy
