I went to Costco, and was looking at big screen tvs- thought I could buy one with the insurance money I got from the Yamaha. Then I thought, I could die of an embolism in front of that thing watching other people have fun, so against the advice of (some) family and friends, I have resolved to use that money to rebuild the Yamaha RSV from the frame up! The new (to me) frame arrived today. I am stripping the old frame of everything not broken, and buying used to replace what was to keep the costs down. Hopefully I will heal before the bike does My question is- in the wreck, the left rear mounting lug for the engine stay was broken off, but the forward one is ok. How important are the engine stays and can I get by without changing the head? Will only one lug on the left be ok?

Anyone here using a netbook and have an opinion on them? I'd like to get one for trips on my MC. I'm taking a 2 week trip in Oct and I'd rather not lug around my 17 inch laptop. I won't need a writing program or anything special. Just the ability to surf the net.

Took off from Don's before 4 this morning. Got about a hr away and car started to shimmey a little. Figured I had thrown a weight. Continued and it just got worse til it popped and got so bad I had to pull over. Looked at right front wheel and a Lug Nut was backed off about half way. That would not have been a major problem but it was the ONLY ONE ON THE WHEEL!!! 4 were gone!! and they are only 5!!! Not only that but three studs were gone. Seared off. The two studs that were left were on the same side of the bolt pattern but I jacked it up stole a lug nut from rear wheel and tightened it up and made it home with 2 lug nuts! And several stops to check them. I don't have a clue as to where or why or when they left. But I made it home and got to see some friends!!! It was worth it.
