Barry my bike is a 2003 and it does not have any gussets.

I am wrong then....wonder what year they started...I will look at the '04 in the shop tomorrow

I don't believe my '05 had the gussets but my '09 does.

That's great news to hear. Keep up the good work.

Agreed. That's basically the way I do it too.

Ok so I'm gathering that either way is acceptable and it's really not all that critical. Thanks.

Ricky - what is your recommendation on the proper way to check the transmission fluid - with the engine off for a short perod of time and checking the sight tube as per the owner's manual, or by checking the sight tube with the engine running and in neutral as some do, or is either way acceptable an...

Anything that makes the claim it's the best stuff in the world yet isn't used as the automotive standard should be viewed with skepticism.

My opinion on this type of thing is if it's truly the best stuff that makes all the difference in the world why aren't all the car manufacturers using it as standard equipment? Kind of like the balancing beads that people rave about as being the best. Why aren't they standard issue with a new car in...

Congrats Dave and good luck.

I use the PF454.

Yes the newer ones are built in.

Congrats Dave and good luck bro.

Sounds exciting. Best of luck to all involved.

Sounds good Harris. Enjoy. Heated gloves are way more effective than heated grips.

Throttle works normally and comes back every time...hmm...sounds like that may not have been the actual cause then. In my case this happened shortly after I got the bike and before I had a chance to go over everything real well as I normally lube the cable at the beginning of each riding season. I c...

Shoulda hit the kill switch. My first Boss's throttle cable snapped and jammed at full throttle while passing a truck going around NYC on I-95 in traffic coming home from Stamford BH's Open House several years back. Good thing for me I had the presence of mind to hit the kill switch and drift over a...

Yes it was a nice article. Congrats to Barry.

I also retired at 48. I planned ahead and had some investments do well, plus my pension is pretty good and my med benefits are paid up for life. 50 cent prescriptions are sweet. So all I do now is ride my bike and travel around and play pool for a cuppla bucks.

Good news Barry. Best wishes.

I'll be out your way next month with my g/f at the Westgate playing pool. If I can shake free for a bit maybe we can hook up for a quick lunch again. Was there last month for a week but was playing continuously (which was good) so didn't get out much.

I'll be at MBH next week and will have a talk with Tom and see what his thoughts are.

Well if they do at least some of the derogatory posts have been deleted anyway which is good.

Deleted RIP, Adrian Just curious - why did you delete this post (along with whatever other ones)? Was it ok to ridicule and trash the guy while he was still alive knowing he would probably read it and now that he's dead all of a sudden it's not appropriate anymore? Is it respectful to bash someone ...

Whatever.

Oh no Carl - it turned into a "crapfest" when Tom hijacked the thread and publicly accused Susan of being classless. That had nothing at all to do with me. Oh and speaking of classless let's just all hope that Randy doesn't ever have to read all the public and needless vitriol you've poste...

So now you're gonna bash me? Lol - that's hilarious, and expected. You go girl.
