I dont have any trouble with the carbs but if it sits in the string trimmer or the chain saw, ethanol likes to eat the plastic hoses in the fuel lines. Ive replaced these a lot.

I love the CAO la triviata, and I often visit Famous Smoke shops auction house to buy my favorite, La Floridita Limited. But any good hand made is okay with me!

Sorry for your loss. We put our old cat to sleep two weeks ago, he was 22 years old and with me me being the tough guy, I thought I could take it to the vet, needless to say when the time came I couldn't do it and the great wife that I have took him. She emailed me a poem later that day to me and our kids that helped us get through it. If it should be that I grow weak and pain should keep me from my sleep. Then you must do what must be done, for this last battle cannot be won. You will be sad, I understand. Don't let your grief then stay your hand. For this day more than all the rest, your love for me must stand the test. We've had so many happy years, what is to come can hold no fears. You'd not want me to suffer so. The time has come, please let me go. Take me where my needs they'll tend and please stay with me until the end. Hold me firm and speak to me, until my eyes no longer see. I know in time that you will see, the kindness that you did for me. Although my tail its last has waved, from pain and suffering I've been saved. Please do not grieve it must be you who had this painful thing to do.

Great response from that dealer. I had lost two of the bolts that hold the chrome rails for the sadllebags and my local stealer told my that they would be 2.50 apiece. I asked if they could be covered under warranty? He says he never heard of bolts being covered under warranty, too bad it would have been a cheap way to keep my buisness!

RSV much worse in crosswinds than 1st Gen?

Can't say anything about 1st gens however the 09 handles WAY better than the 82 wing I had, the sidewinds would really lay me over. My 09 stands pretty straight in crosswinds. -
Just recieved my second set of Avon's from Jake Wilson last week, haven't mounted them yet, I was trying to get the last out of my Avon's that are on the bike now. I did have little cracks on the front I was not very concerned about. the new set that just came is dated from late in the year 2009. I love my Avon's and can't wait to get the new sneakers on the scooter.

This is like a trip down memory lane, I had a 1977 750 super sport (boy do I wish I had it now) I love the way yours looks! Great find.

Reduced fuel economy...that varies

I see 41-42 all the time on my 09 -
Just ordered a set from Jake Wilson, 259.00 free shipping and a 50 dollar rebate from Avon, I'm happy:thumbsup2: Last set had a few tiny cracks on front tire but nothing bad enough to make me worry about the tire, and I love the way Avons handle. I think maybe somone already said this but the rebate comes from Avon.

thats pretty cool, she just got up and feed some rabbit to the two chicks.

At least one of those tubes are a crankcase breather tube and if the oil was ever filled up to max you get a little drip now and then out the tubes. I even get drips when the bike sits out where its windy, like the wind is sucking it out by blowing across them, when i park in the garage nothing, and I watch how much oil I put in very carefully now, never going above half way up the sight glass.

Awesome story!

I've got about 15000 on my set of Avon's now with another couple thousand left I hope. I run mine at the max sidewall pressure, 46 and 50 if I remember correctly. No cracks on the rear tire but lots of fine little cracks on the front sidewalls, however not real worried about it, I don't see any large cracks anywhere. Got another question though-- all this talk about Avon and the cracking problem, has anyone had an Avon fail or blowout?
