    Walt, How fast were you going? The cruise doesn't work below a certain speed. I found that if I'm riding with cruise just above the minimum speed and hit a bump which drops my speed below the min, that the cruise acts strangely. I don't recall if what I saw was exactly what you are seeing though. Its happened a couple times to me, and I've decided the cruise doesn't work on low speed bumpy roads.

    I think the 'better gas mileage' is a maybe proposition. Triumph went from carbs to FI on their Bonneville line a few years back, the bikes otherwise being mostly unchanged. The fuel economy did not improve per a Triumph dealer I talked to.

    I am running Avons on my RSTD, although its mostly 1up. They run much better than the Bridgestones I replaced. I went with the 130 width front tire and feel the handling is much better at slow speed and in the twisty mountain roads. Only about 8,000 on the rear tire and 5,000 on the front, but not much wear yet. If getting an Avon be sure to get the H rated tire, not the V rated which I mistakenly did. While the V has a higher speed rating (and is for the VMax) Avon says its a softer rubber compound than the H rated tire and the V won't get as many miles out of it.

    I bought 2 blanks on ebay and took them to my local ACE since they didn't have the blanks. neither key would work right. After taking the gas cap in to the key maker, got both of them to work in the gas cap, but neither would work right in the ignition. member here Ken in Calhoun GA is able to make keys using the number code

    A friend of mine recently got a small box to attach to her TV that talks to her DSL wireless router and provides TV access. I'd never heard of this before. but it seemed to work ok. It also has a bunch of music only channels.

    My stepfather was a truckdriver. He taught me about the important things in life, like WaffleHouse. I could eat waffle and sausage for breakfast everyday, except every once in a while get a double hashbrowns all the way.

    to tell you how my mind works, when I saw the guy sneaking up with the vacuum, I thought he was going to snatch her bikini away....

    Thanks for keeping us posted on your Dad's status. It sounds like a lot of progress. hopefully the new fall didn't cause any more serious damage.

    I need a new front tire on my RSV. The Metzler has plenty of tread, but is cupped and gives a shaky ride. I had a new Elite-III put on in Cody this past summer, so might as well try one up front. If I needed a new rear too, I might try the new Michellin.

    Mini, I'm sorry to hear this. I was very close to my grandparents too.

    Metzeler ME880 and the Dunlop D407/D408 were the comp tires. is the Dunlop 407/408 an Elite II/III ? They have a rear tire for the 2nd gens, but not a front tire in oem size, but a 130/90-16 might work.

    Mark, Thanks for your hospitality on my way to Cody, and the pleasure of riding with you on the last leg of the trip. having a friend to keep me calm was a big help when having a flat tire in Casper. Happy New Year to you and your family.

    Randy, Its good you were able to get out. Nothing like a good ride to sooth the nerves. I may take a short ride also today, but have a number of chores to do before we get the hard freeze coming in sunday night. RandyR
