Let me know if you need some KY, I still have a half a case. <BR/><BR/>Staying home this weekend with no bike was a bummer, but it gave us a chance to catch up on some things.<BR/><BR/>Dave... Yes, you need correcting. My old girl in a "98 and has over 75,000 miles on her. But they do more to the bike during a 20 K service than they do a 10 K service. That is what I meant. I will have to find out for you the difference, but maybe Willy D would know. <BR/><BR/>It can only get better from here, I'd hope!Lady R (Di)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08253802136989789026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1058662679644806189.post-46841152742403078962008-10-13T01:55:00.000-05:002008-10-13T01:55:00.000-05:00Both ends Mrs RC? lol.

Now I'm really scared!<BR/><BR/>Hope things work out. When it rains it pours but the sun always comes out to dry up the mud...then all you got is dust in your mouth.

Let's hope yours is near.<BR/><BR/>Currently we are in the position of getting ready to lead our HOG chapter on a 3-day trip next weekend. Our trusted mechanic says something is seriously wrong (pistons or something), but the dealer who is supposed to do the warranty work insists that the only thing they can find is the backrest rattling.

I try not to be a whiner, so venting about this through my post helped! <BR/><BR/>Joker... I added my service tickets and believe me, I could have had a nice vacation! Don't you worry, about my old girl though, she and I both have a lot of life in us yet. We just needed to replace some old with some new. Hey, that don't sound half bad. Maybe I should make a Dr.'s appt. myself!<BR/><BR/>dean... yeah, things do go wrong in multiples, don't they? We'll hopefully, I'm done with my share for awhile.<BR/><BR/>allen... well, not quite, but it seems like it should. One good thing about all this, is they put in some hot cams for me (Mackie 500), so I'm anxious to see what kind of pick up I get with them.<BR/><BR/>Willy d... The shop has done a lot of work for my friends that live there, and they think he's pretty trust worthy. I knew going in, he was only going to to fix what broke, so I could ride it home. He told me he didn't have the diagnostic computer he needed to hook it up and figure out the other problems. For some stupid reason, something is wrong that won't let him set the timing correctly. This has to be done at the Dealership. Hopefully, my idling issues and sluggishness with work itself out when they set the timing. I appreciate your concern if they're doing my job right, but I think he did just what I expected him to do. I wanted to get her home, and let the dudes that know my bike, to get it and finish her up. Hopefully, that wasn't a mistake. Thanks for caring!<BR/><BR/>fasthair... No, I do not have a bell. At the rate I'm going, I need about a dozen of them so I can string 'em like a necklace and wear them around my neck! LOL!<BR/><BR/>Steph... thanks girl.

Since I'm in the auto repair business I know how this shit happens and also how bad it can be to call the client with the bad news. I just hope this was too big of a dent on the wallet. <BR/><BR/>Do you have a buddy bell on your bike to keep these gemlins away?
