    Motorcycle stores?

    I'm not sure if it's on your route, but I was treated real well by these people: Hi Point Motorsports 2802 Grand Ave, Glenwood Springs, CO

    BT023GT front cupping

    I've been running 42 in front with no cupping on the 023GTs. I gave up on mounting the GTs and paid somebody to do it. They're cheap enough to almost cover the cost and I don't have to do it. The ride's not harsh at all and grip and mileage are great.

    remove front wheel for tire change

    Don't know if a Gen 1 is any different, but I just unbolt the calipers.

    Rick Mayer vs. Bill Mayer vs. Russell vs. Rich's custom

    I've had the Rick Mayer for about four years and both my wife and I have been very happy with it. I got the leather and it's still hanging in. We had the luxury of riding in so we got to talk to him about the style we chose and we got the shape just right. Might be a nice vacation...

    New seat - vinyl or leather?

    I've got the leather but I think that if I had it to do over again I'd get vinyl. The leather isn't that hard to care for but vinyl's cheaper and you don't need to worry about its getting wet. Maybe I'm insensitive but I haven't noticed any advantage for leather.

    Garauld (on this forum)

    Garauld sanded out the scratches and painted my bag after the bike was knocked over. Looks as good or better than new now. Great work, great price, he got it done very quickly, and he's a great guy too.

    Scorpion EXO-1000 Helmet $99 New

    I believe this helmet meets Snell 2005. Snell 2010 is supposed to deliver fewer Gs to the brain.

    Installing turnbuckle style lowering links

    It's not 1:1 but I don't know what it is. Mine should arrive in a day or two so I'll let you know.

    Thanks and welcome home to better sand to play in.

    They Almost Got Me This Time

    Excellent riding! The vultures would have had a feast otherwise.

    Helmet Hook

    A couple of places to check out: casporttouring and lockitt. I got the Helmet Guardian but then attached the locks elsewhere.

    Feather River Canyon Ride

    Catherine's back is acting up and I'm too whipped to go alone so y'all have a great ride!

    Need a tailbag on Gen I with 2 up

    I have to agree with Toe, the hard case provides a very nice backrest for the wife, is easily removed, and holds lots of stuff. Whatever you choose, have a great time in the springs.

    Old Tire Disposal Question

    I pile 'em up in the back yard next to where I dump the oil.

    First Ride of the Season

    Take some warm gear. I found that one hand on the bars and one held as close as possible to the engine worked OK. Alternate every 30 seconds.

    Base Stickers?

    Lower fork tube, but that was before inverted forks. Still OK on the feej.

    Up Hwy 88 and back down Hwy 4 on Sat June 13th

    I was hoping we would make it but we've got a friend coming over. Y'all have a great ride (like you need to be told).

    Motel and Bar in Red Bluff?

    If ya like Mexican, Casa Ramos at 2001 Main in Red Bluff. Good, big margaritas. I think you'll be really happy with the saddle.

    ever scrape the exhaust mount?

    I find that odd too. I touch the peg feelers with an Ohlins on the rear (a little more ride height) but I've still got chicken strips. Maybe I'll have to start riding like meosborn and grind the hard parts off so I can lean it a little further.

    Deal or No Deal? Opinions appreciated

    Deal if it's not a ticker. That's the prettiest paint job.
