  2. I fully agree, look how I almost lost out on my insurance claim when that guy cut me off and caused me to wipe out. Had I not asked for a copy of the police report, I would never have found out that the officer filled an inaccurate report having left out key facts and by doing so gave the other guy,s story more credibility than my version of what happend.
  3. Glad to hear that your Dad is progressing and pray that he remains moving forward.
  4. My Local dealer tells me metzler builds tires both in Germany and Mexico. Apparrently if they are built in Germany they are good tires BUT IF THEY ARE BUILT IN MEXICO THEY ARE JUNK AND THESE ARE THE ONES HE HAS SEEN A LOT OF TROUBLE WITH
  5. Thats a good route to take we run a good part of that route going to St Louis or Indiana several times a year:thumbsup: Much nicer than crossing at Detroit and if time allows for a more scenic ride insted of going from the 402 to 401 take the 402 to 4 to 3 and cut across some nice scenic country

  19. Have heart it may not be as bad as it looks I found this out with my own which i am currantly repairing . You may remmember i was run off the road last summer. my dash was also off center just like yours i replaced the instrument cluster support with one that bongobob was kind enough to give me the fairng supports were bowed slightly off center put were easy to pull back into position. I did however have to take apart the instrument cluster and repair the main case with plastex which worked fantastic. My fairngs i repaired with plastex and sections cut from another fairing. the plastex does a perfect weld job for this purpose and sands down to were you dont even notice it. Ps I dont know about the usa but in canada the fairings can be ordered new for About $600 and all the consul pcs were available as well.
