    Yup, that's exactly what it sounds like to me, too, air still in the line. Or, could be your bleeder is not tight or leaking, or a brake line is a little loose. Check everything for signs of seepage. Small leaks will maks the pedal spongy and require pumping up, and they will still fade after a while...

    Big Tom came over today and changed the blade on my lawnmower and cut the grass for me, for which I am very greatful. I feel so helpless not being able to do so many things. What I also really appreciated was the company as I'm going stir crazy because I'm usually a very active person always doing something. Now, if I can get somebody to spray my fruit trees, and do a little landscaping project I started and didn't quite finish...

    You know, there IS a date code stamped on each and every tire asto the date of manufacture, even for motorcycle tires. It will be on one side in a rectangular outlined area with a few letters such as MC followed by a few numbers. The last 3 or 4 digits are the important ones. the first are the week of the year manufactured, followed (hopefully) by 0X (i.e. 06 + 2006). if there is no 0 before the last number, that means it was manufactured before 2000 such as the number 7 without a zero in front of it was manufactured in 1997 or even worse 1987. I just replaced the front tire on mine not due to tread wear but rather physical age. The tire industry recommends that you do NOT use a tire older than 6 years old, or you run the risk of the tire casing separating. Hmmmmm. wonder if there is a batch of very old Metzler tires being distributed across the US and Canada...

    Saddlebum has a 1st Gen and yes indeed they still have the stock sizes. Just put 2 brand new ones on mine due to the front was way old, and the rear was worn out. I've been a little concerned about recent members problems with Avons, and my dealer said he had a few complaints from customers about the Avons. Perhaps they had a bad batch get out...

    Just prayed, and will continue to do so. Prayers do work, I know this firsthand...

    46 mpg?? Man, I'm happy to get anything over 40mpg, but then again I am a speedy rider...

    Pretty close match, I'd say...

    Actually, that price seems pretty much in line. I paid around $180 for my Elite II with a 25% discount. My cousin's son is the service manager at our local dealer...

    I really really really wish I could have been there for the presentation!! Great batch of photos!

    Do you need a new bell, Ken? If so give me your addy and I'll send you one...

    Maybe some weekend we will come down and worship with you, Gary.

    Yah, Craig, I'm sure you will find that there are a LOT of members that are the same way. There's just something about this site that attracts caring and giving people...

    Wow! I am impressed at all the people that responded here and those that called and sent cards! We certainly ARE one big caring family here! Hopefully I will be on 2 wheels by July for the rally but if not we will cage it up there anyway. In the mean time, if you are looking for a destination, feel free to drop by and visit. We love company here. I'm not going anywhere for a while...

    I'm home too, Tom!! Sounds like a great vacation, and will be looking forward to seeing you Sunday. BTW it's shorter to come down 77/98 into Arcade than going down 16 unless you were planning on comiong down 2Rod or something...

    Finally home from the hospital and doing fine! Sure missed my own bed and my wife beside me! Also, my kitty missed me too. He is meowing and cuddling next to me. Many many thanks for all the cards and calls, especially you out of state people! Sure made me feel great and realise what a great family we have here! Here's a shocker, I even got a card from the Chaplain from the Venturers!! How in the world the other site found about my hospitilization is beyond me! So, I hopefully will be walking around in a couple of weeks. I can do limited walking on my heal now, but I'm talking about regular walking. I should be off work for a couple of months, so everyone is welcome to stop by and set a spell anytime!

    My foot got worse, and I've been very sick for over a week now. Will probably be having surgery very soon. I'm having trouble walking, and if any of you guys would like to stop by on your way back from Don's this weekend, I need the help of a couple of strong bikers putting in window AC units. Also would apreciate the company and moral support...

    Just got mine today, and wow! Sure is one heavy piece of aluminum!! Very impressed!
  19. bongobobny
    Reiny, my foot got worse and can't ride for a while, so can't meet up with you, but if you like, stop on by for a spell, and maybe you can sell me a couple of t shirts...

    It's sort of always been there, Dray...
  21. bongobobny
    What time???
  22. bongobobny
    Wize man, then...

    Fuel filter is what I suspect too! The god old law of supply and demand. Low fuel dflow fine for low RPM's but not enough for higher RPM's... Always the possibility of your fuel pump crapping out as well.

    Actually, you can increase the tension of the wiper arm by loosening the nut on the end and push closer and retighten the nut... Know EXACTLY what you are talking about. Changed mine out last year and now it works sanely!
  25. bongobobny
    Who knows, maybe Becky and I can make that one...
