    I have been thinking about writing Yamaha about the rear shock. How many people have done this before?

    Everyone makes mistakes and if you do not share one of us are doomed to repeat it.

    A couple in were having trouble remembering things so they went to their doctor for checkups. The doctor told them that they were both physically fine and advised them to write things down to help them remember. Later that evening while watching television, the husband got up from his chair to go to the kitchen for a snack. He asked his wife if she wanted anything. "Could you bring me a bowl of ice cream?" she asked. "Sure," he replied. "Do you think you should write that down to remember it?" she asked. "No, I can remember that," he said. "I'd like some strawberries on it, too. Do you need to write that down?" she said. "No, I can remember that, too. Ice cream with strawberries," he said, becoming a little irritated. "I'd like some whipped cream on it, too. Can you remember all that? The doctor said you should write things down," she said. "For goodness sakes, I can remember that. I don't need to write it down. A bowl of ice cream with strawberries and whipped cream," he said, now more than a little irritated. Off he went to the kitchen. About 20 minutes later he returned with a plate of bacon and eggs. The wife stared at it for a moment and said, "Where's my toast?"

    Cycle Visions has premade plates they are 30 bucks, however you can make one just like theirs with aluminum stock just not as fancy. I was planning on mounting on the passing lamp bar. You may also want to check that your base will allow it on a plate, I have been places if it looks removable they will not accept it. http://www.cyclevisions.com/chrome/military-sticker-plate/ Here is what someone did on another forum: http://media.photobucket.com/image/military%20sticker%20plate/jmohrmann/DODDecal.jpg

    I tried the do it yourself and let the insurance company work it out routine when I had my "little incident" I wound up getting a good lawyer (not one of those that advertise on TV) and it still took two years.

    If your charging system checks out take a good look at all your cables. You may have a nick or chaff in a cable or corrosion on a connection. Also check any items you have that can receive power with the switch off they may be drawing current continuously.

    Progressive and Geico can be a little cheaper, however make sure you check the coverage. They both quoted me around $100 a year however when I brought all the coverage amounts up to match Allstate they were about $100 a year more than Allstate. Allstate also gives you a real good discount for MSF course and another discount if you belong to a MC Club. I think several others do too. Alot of it depends on your driving record too.

    I agree the less aggressive the better.

    WD40 will displace water however will draw dust, if you use a contact cleaner make sure it is safe for plastics (they will say). When you clean switch contacts don't use a file or sandpaper it will score the contacts. A light emery cloth or even a pencil eraser will work if you can get to the contact. The drawback with physically cleaning contacts is you can bend the contact arm and it will not make proper contact (depends on type of switch).

    I like my focus but It's not as fun as our other cars. http://i760.photobucket.com/albums/xx248/etcswjoe/Our%20Cars/Sad_SamCrop.jpg

    I agree, looks like fun. In my younger days When we used to climb towers and mast to do Antenna maintenance we would mess with new guys by making the tower sway real bad:whistling:, you would be surprised how much they move.

    Went to look at a 2000 MM and the bike had several scratches on the front fairing. When I asked the guy about them he told me a young man came and looked at the bike and when he was pulling out of the driveway to test ride it he turned it over. What really amazed me was the kid told the guy selling it he was asking too much because he had scratches on it now. The bike was not registered or insured and the owner finally had the scratches fixed I am not sure if he ever sold it.

    How much of the error is because of non-OEM tires? :2cents:Comparing my GPS to the speedo 8% off is pretty close to my error and I am running Venoms.

    Pawley's Front Porch 9 Oct? I could go for another burger and some calamari.

    IMHO it sounds suspect to me. I found the exact same listing in about half a dozen other cities.
