Yeah, ("Scott," right?) I was kinda thinking the same thing. Have had to go through aligning (and making sure it remains aligned while tightening) the hardware that positions on the rear wheel/swing arm several times. Yeah, probably related to that. I'm replacing my rear caliper seal today and...

I was wondering....what happened? Did you solve the problem and is it now fixed?

Alright! Good to know what a poor battery's ailments might be. I still have my original OEM battery (2007). I keep it on a battery tender during non-ride winter months.

I appreciate all your technical posts!

Started out as nine, ended up twelve bikes (two rides doubled up). Watch out guys. ;)The ratio closed in a little on this day: 11 males, 3 females. What two excellent pinion riders! Suzuki, Ducati, Yamaha, Triumph represented. Beautiful weather! Anyway, what a Border Patrol ride! For me it...

Thanks, Kenny. About 500 miles, 8 hours. In Carlsbad this evening. See Border Patrol Hoons tomorrow at 9AM. Cliff, I love espresso---don't seem to have your cell. Can you PM it and maybe I can take you up on espresso offer. License plate light must be burning out prematurely because of...

Cliff, thanks! Yeah, aware fuse protocol. Mentioned 20 amp because I noticed that FZ6 uses a few of them and just want to stock up on both, 10 & 20. Blew fuse because of being careless with probes. Maybe I can explain better on Sat. See everybody Sat, 9:00 am Mira Mesa Shell.

Cliff, I'm riding tomorrow your direction. Almost had to scuttle mission after shorting out a electrical lighting circuit just this evening. A little nervous but I remembered where the fuses are for FZ6 taillight. A blew a 10 amp (in that little "tail" fuse box) while trying to figure out my...

Yeah, looks like clear sailing due to nice weather.

I imagine it's safe to say other driver, even when you were behind, never noticed you and, afterwards, didn't look both ways. Did you come up upon him abruptly or had you been behind for a while? Wow. Thanks for the story!

Too funny. I'm thinking (brother lives in Carlsbad).

any drug trafficking involved?

We are opposed to efforts to glamorize so -called "iron butt:" riding. In fact, we think legislation is needed to regulate behind-the-wheel, or, as in this case, hands on bar, maximum hour operation limits. Responsible and alert driving should be the goal of all, not just commercial drivers...

What parkspace pals to have. Too funny! I hope you didn't activate a perimeter alarm to sound off if the driver of the Bugatti got too close to your space ;)

Motogiro, if he reads this, will probably chime in. You don't even want to keep stock dash gauge/readout? That's what I call naked.

First of all, kudos to her for meeting the goal. Someday, maybe I'd consider tryng to get official recognition for a threshold time/distance threshold. I could add it to my resume. Meanwhile, I'm sticking to artfully leaning through interesting roadways as my #1 pleasure. I wonder if the...

I don't know how, but Lefty hit the weather jackpot! It's no easy task to predict middle-of-summer and near-perfect/sunny and fog-free weather for the Bay Area/SF peninsula months in advance (equally unseasonal was the San Francisco rain/drizzle during my return to Sacramento) Big thanks...

Congratulations Lefty! ...Sierra Nevada Brewing Company

Many people don't understand that local gov't entities all are competing to get a bigger piece of the revenue pie. Governments are constantly devising ways to generate more revenue and grow, grow and grow bigger. Your traffic tickets help fund your friendly government programs. So, next time a...

I really dislike tailgaters, people who put you at great risk should there be a emergency stop situation. But, Gelvatron, this subject inspires me to rant. Sometimes I think there's less corruption in, say, Russia, Mexico, etc., than in USA...er, at least California. "Whaaah?" you say...
