Asheville is only about 80 miles from me. If I can make it work out, I'll ride up for at least a day visit. I've had some rotator cuff surgeries on both shoulders. Thought I was doing well until 2 weeks ago when I dislocated my left shoulder saving my small dog from the neighbor's pitbull's jaws. My dog survived with some punctures and muscle damage. My shoulder MRI is this Wednesday, May 27th. Hopefully, I won't have any residual damage.

I have no need for lit up switches on my RSV MM or my VR. But last year, a 78 year old friend gifted me his '02 Goldwing. At least for my needs, it could really use some (at least dim) switch illumination. I think Honda added illumination from 2004 or newer.

Still riding my '88 Royale with two person California Friendship 3 sidecar.

An elderly friend. gifted me an '02 wing last March. Unfortunately, it only came with one tool kit. Good luck in your search.

I’ve had stock Road King mufflers on my MMLTD for years. Work well for my tastes.

I have Purple Power in my shop for some needs. I use it on mower engines, but not anymore on my bike engines. I used it only once on my SR500 engine and it streaked the clear coat on the stator cover.

Well, that apparently USED TO BE a good left elbow...

Amazed the cop wasn't wearing gloves.

Nice move, Jay! You'll love it here. You'll only be about 20 miles from me. I'm about 10 miles south of Pickens, just off 178.

I knew it was way old when I removed it from that guy’s bike. Was just wondering how old before I discarded it. Thanks.

I’ve attached two photos. The third one won’t upload for some reason, it it says this in a small lightly stamped oval in the other sidewalk: 564.

Could be pre-2000. But I think (via internet searching) those may have only had 3 letters in the oval. i can’t find any other oval anywhere near the dot stamp.

I took a couple Dunlops off a customer's Shadow a while back and installed some new Commander IIs. I still haven't gotten around to taking the Dunlops to the dump yet. So today, I was trying to see what the date of manufacture was and ran into date codes I don't remember seeing before. So y'all take a whack a deciphering these for me. Front Dunlop F-24 stamping says: Dot EUM5 and following that (in the oval) is LD4058 Rear Dunlop D404 stamping says: DOT EUXD and following that (in the oval) is LD7058 When do y'all think they were made?

Still here! Riding when I can.

I'm praying for ya Earl. After 25 years of chronic pain from disc degeneration, I finally had successful spinal fusion L5/S1 in 2007. No more pain. But a level of neuropathy in both lower legs and feet sometimes makes it a bit difficult knowing just where my feet are. At 60,with trifocals (lol), steps and stairs can be a little challenging occasionally. But a good ride seems to cure all ailments.
