Re: All you need to know about boxer charging.
That little book stays on my bike wherever I go. I was on the side of the road on a hot afternoon thirsty for beer. I had lost all power and that little book helped me make it to the beer garden at a rally before closing. I say it's worth every penny when your stranded. That little book stays on my...

Re: Insturment cluster repair
I'm probably late to the party, but you might try ForeignSpeedoInc.com 619-298-5278 (San Diego) They advertise in "Airmail" . I looked at the website. It makes "sparse" look overdone. But in a way I appreciate it. The message is (probably) Hey, give us a call. Let's talk about w...

Re: Fridee night oil thread, it's a shocker!
Wow. What a mess, but all in all the cap was probably going to be toast one way or another. I say damned good job. You got it done, ME; have a well-earned beer.
