    What I really love about those recorded message "trees"....is when you are put on hold for 20 min...then they decide you are in the wrong department....back on hold....when they finally transfer the call to the proper department you get cut off!!!!! Start all over again!!! AARRRRGGGGGG!!!!!!!:bang head:

    So all the weight of the bike and her climbing on is on the kickstand? I'm not so sure that's a good idea! Lots of posts about the kickstand bolt giving out...but maybe that's a 1st gen issue. I just hold the brake, lean over the tank and "lock" the bike with my knees. Mind you...on my bike a 31" inseam seems to be enough to get flat footed. In keeping with the theme of the thread....my wife has bailed me out a few times....I have to try and remember to leave the front brake alone when coming to a stop!

    A lot of stuff is Duty Free.....but trust me....you can still get dinged big time for duty. Ask about importing Jewellery....One of my clients got charged something like 35% on a diamond/gold ring. Duty is a tax governments impose to make imported goods more expensive. This is supposed to promote buying domestically therefore protecting local jobs and building their own economy rather than everyone sending all the money to another country.

    One day a man decided to retire... He booked himself on a Caribbean cruise and proceeded to have the time of his life, that is, until the ship sank. He soon found himself on an island with no other people, no supplies, nothing, only bananas and coconuts. After about four months, he is lying on the beach one day when the most gorgeous woman he has ever seen rows up to the shore. In disbelief, he asks, "Where did you come from? How did you get here?" She replies, "I rowed over from the other side of the island where I landed when my cruise ship sank." "Amazing," he notes. "You were really lucky to have a row boat wash up with you." "Oh, this thing?" explains the woman. "I made the boat out of some raw material I found on the island. The oars were whittled from gum tree branches. I wove the bottom from palm tree branches, and the sides and stern came from a Eucalyptus tree." "But, where did you get the tools?" "Oh, that was no problem," replied the woman. "On the south side of the island, a very unusual stratum of alluvial rock is exposed. I found that if I fired it to a certain temperature in my kiln, it melted into ductile iron I used that to make tools and used the tools to make the hardware." The guy is stunned. "Let's row over to my place," she says. So, after a short time of rowing, she soon docks the boat at a small wharf. As the man looks to shore, he nearly falls off the boat.. Before him is a long stone walk leading to a cabin and tree house. While the woman ties up the rowboat with an expertly woven hemp rope, the man can only stare ahead, dumb struck. As they walk into the house, she says casually, "It's not much, but I call it home. Sit down, please." "Would you like a drink?" "No! No thank you," the man blurts out, still dazed. "I can't take another drop of coconut juice." "It's not coconut juice," winks the woman. "I have a still. How would you like a Tropical Spritz?" Trying to hide his continued amazement, the man accepts, and they sit down on her couch to talk. After they exchange their individual survival stories, the woman announces, "I'm going to slip into something more comfortable. Would you like to take a shower and shave? There's a razor in the bathroom cabinet upstairs.." No longer questioning anything, the man goes upstairs into the bathroom. There, in the cabinet is a razor made from a piece of tortoise bone. Two shells honed to a hollow ground edge are fastened on to its end inside a swivel mechanism. "This woman is amazing," he muses. "What's next?" When he returns, she greets him wearing nothing but some small flowers on tiny vines, each strategically positioned, she smelled faintly of gardenias. She then beckons for him to sit down next to her. "Tell me," she begins suggestively, slithering closer to him, "We've both been out here for many months. You must have been lonely. When was the last time you played around?She stares into his eyes. He can't believe what he's hearing. "You mean..." he swallows excitedly as tears start to form in his eyes, "You built a Golf Course?"

    Quite likely there is no DUTY...but they will charge you HST and Brokerage fee. The brokerage fee is supposedly for doing the paper work to import the item. USPS is definately the cheaper...but higher risk because once it is handed over the the Canadian postal service, tracking stops.

    I did my clutch, with Skydoc's help, on my 84...its a relatively simple job and doesn't take much time to do....even for a non wrench like me! Just one question before you go and upgrade the clutch. Are you sure you are using the correct type of oil? If you use oil that has friction reducing additives, that can cause your clutch to slip. If you have several hours...or days...you can search the site for oil threads...there are LOTS and LOTS of them!

    Dingy, Not to highjack the thread...but it looks like it ran its course anyway! in the "internal" picture, is that the shift indicator just to the left of the shifter? My 88 will indicate 4th and 5th, and the neutral light works...but it doesn't show when I'm in 1,2, or 3rd. Where do you suggest I start trouble shooting for that fix.

    I've always wondered about the first people who decided to eat escargo? "Oh look....there's an ugly looking slug in a shell that leaves a slime trail....LET'S EAT IT!"

    The original owner mounted horns UNDER the saddlebags...pointing backwards (to keep the water out I guess) They are still loud enough...but I'm sure they work better if I want to blast the guy BEHIND ME! They will be relocated this winter....

    Check with your local sign shop to see what they have. Any shop with a decent library of clip-art graphics should be able to provide a wide range of choices....and vinyl colour choices. A lot of what the shop above provides in there kit is "fluff" you don't have to have "application" fluid; a spray bottle of clean water with a couple drops of dish detergent will work just fine. A sturdy credit card will suffice for a squeegee...and lint free paper towels are almost a basic commoditee in most shops. $99 for 5 graphics is a lot of money considering they are probably under a foot in size. 5 years ago, Vinyl only cost me about $3.50 a foot (for 24" wide!) At that price it might be worth getting my cutter out of storage and take on a few orders!

    I've got ONE on my bike. Would love to find another set.

    Sight glass is low near the front right (as sitting on it) Just hold the bike level to check. It should be only about 1/2 to 2/3 full. You might reason that it should be almost completely full...but that's too much. check the tech library and you will find the manual...anything you need to know will be there. not that anyone minds answering questions though!
