CSpenceFLY 1 #6 February 1, 2016 I wanted to go north this weekend but couldn't make it. Rode down to Fitz yesterday afternoon. I'm tearing mine down for an overhaul on Fri. May not get to ride again till after the boogie. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ryoder 1,590 #7 February 1, 2016 On that same ride I was about 10 miles from home when I started wondering why my clutch lever seemed to suddenly be quite loose. I looked into the slot in the barrel adjuster to see that *most* of the cable strands were broken!I made it home w/o fully breaking the cable, and now the bike is parked until the new cable arrives.

skyjumpenfool 2 #8 February 2, 2016 Every spring here in Minnesota, we have to put up with the remnants of these chemicals until we get a good, hard driving rain to wash it away. I've noticed this year they're "pre-treating" the roads before the snow flies. It's a liquid sprayed down on the roads. It's supposed to clear the snow as it falls.Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
