I bought a new desktop 2 weeks ago that came with a free upgrade to Windows 8. I've downloaded it onto a USB key and intend to try it. I wanted to move an image copy of Win 7 to a solid state disk I bought with the system and have installed already. But am having problems restoring the Win 7 system image to the ssd. Will try again after a day or two break. btw. Win 8 does not come with a free media player any more. But until year end you can download a free license key for the new media player. $$$$ Let me know how you like 8 ?

You can order an ignitech direct from the company yourself. As long as you've read this thread, everything you need to know is here. -
find out what the police departments are running for similar sized tires they might have. That usually gives you a good quality tire at a good price.

I'll be there when it opens Saturday and looking forward to seeing you again. Maybe Mike and anyone else can join us for lunch. My cell phone number is in my profile. $3 off code if you buy online is TRIUMPHVIP But there's a $1 charge to buy online. There's probably a Progressive discount code too, but I couldn't find it online and I don't have Progressive anymore.

Glad you're able to post here about the accident, yourself. I'd try to get some more insurance money and just go buy a new/used one and not hassle with the old bike.

There's no way I could move. I've spent too many years as a packrat.

I was just cleaning out my office and found the DVD I lost last year and replaced with a new one. (there are several circulating). So. Its your lucky day. PM me your address and I'll send it to you.

the country roads are covered with leaves, pine straw, and nuts today. Along with an occassional fallen tree or limbs. The power and phone crews are out fixing downed lines. Probably not a good day to ride the back roads.

I had plans for the weekend but would like to see someof the new bikes. STAR will be there as will Triumph and BMW. All with models I want to check out. Discounts on admission availoable via Progressive web site I imagine as well as Triumph. I will likely try to go early Saturday.

see you on the road soon. -
The rear pads on 2nd Gens wear unevenly. Its a 5 minute job to rotate the inner and outer pad when oil is changed.

Hooray.... I'm running on the upgraded laptop. EVERYthing works. I used a drop of Elmer's clear glue on the broken ZIF connectors, but the peripherals they connect are all working. This was optimistic on my part, because it will never come apart again... responding to a few of the suggestions & comments. o Its too late to put in a new fan. The fan is built into a heatsink assembly. o the disk drive is a 7200rpm already o The AMD cpu chips are 64bit and Windows 7 64bit is running (and has been). o The windows Performance Information and Tools shows a cpu number of 6.2 now, it was 4.3. memory perf is now 7.1 was 5.9. Graphics is 4.2 was 3.9. o Yes, I likely need to clean up some of the software thats crept onto system. I also put a new battery on the motherboard, that was easy to do. guess I'll just go shoot some steel plate hangers instead. I may consider buying a new netbook in the future with a faster processor and a SSD to carry on the motorcycle. This laptop mostly get used here at home.

I like the .357 option.... I'm thinking the laptop may be still usable without the options on those broken miniZIF connectors. The first one was a 3rd USB connector. I can live with only 2 USBs working. etc. Will be getting back to it soon. I do like the idea of the SolidStateDisk, and have been thinking about that. Probably not on that laptop though, maybe on my next big desktop though. This situation has got me thinking I spend too much time on the computer anyway. Maybe its good riddance....
-
Have the motherboard back in the case with the new cpu. I think I've hosed it though. I didn't understand how the miniZIF (zero insertion force) connectors work. They were on 3 or 4 small cables. I may have broken them all. I should stopped when I got to the 1st one and found more detailed instructions than were in the laptop's maintenance guide. Maybe substantial gobs of silicon will fix everything?

Using my carry-along netbook at the moment. I've taken the bold step of upgrading my laptop which got slower and slower the more things I loaded on it. First step was to see if more memory would help as that is relatively easy; so went from 3GB to the max 8GB. Not much performance gain. So, cpu is the next place to try. I did quite a bit of research and think I found the fastest processor that would be compatible that uses exactly the same amount of power, 25watts. Its a 2 core processor with faster speed and more onboard cache and faster memory access. Should be 2.5 times faster than the old single core cpu according to a benchmark site. (AMD V120 to AMD P650). Bought it used on fleabay for $30. I downloaded the maintenance guide from the Compaq/HP web page and off to work I went. Well, its all apart, parts in carefully marked envelopes. It now should be carefully cleaned. Did you know that 2 pounds of dog hair and potato chip crumbs can find their way to the insides of your computer? A couple of screws were missing, and I need some electrical cleaner and heatsink tape before putting it back together. Did I mention that you should never take a laptop apart... Too many small parts in a torture puzzle configuration. So, I need some VR prayers before attempting to get it all back together....

Well.... I can't believe you drove thru Dahlonega and didn't stop to visit.

Do they require the RK adapter or will they fit the RSV/RSTD with no modification/adapters ?
-
Wilkie , Glad you're sort-of OK.

fyi. I sent an email to Avon and asked about the difference between the V (higher speed rating) and H after buying a V by mistake. Avon replied that the V had a softer compound and was designed for the Vmax. So one can expect less miles from a V rated tire, but probably better high speed traction. Thats what I have on the rear of my RSTD now.
