  1. I would like to give a big thank you to Steve Kowalcky (M61A1MECH).

    I was on the verge of buying a 09 RSV in New Smyrna Beach at a great price. The guy selling the bike came across honest enough but I am a skeptic by nature. I reached out to Steve to see if he could give it a once over, he was very accomidating.

    It turns out the bike had corrosion in places it normally would not, as if it lived on the coast or possibly was under salt water at some point he had also mentioned there may be an issue with a valve. I passed on the purchase.

    So long story long Steve is a great guy and I owe him a beer!

  2. So yesterday Paul and I, Motiv , decided to go for a little ride. Left around 10:00 in the morning and made the short ride over to the Sandusky area. Stopped by Margaritaville to have some lunch and that is when I knew that this guy is a problem. You would think that in this age of political correctness and the "Me Too" movement that we would all know that groping women is NOT acceptable...I guess he didn't get the memo. :confused24:

     

    I have to say though...I think they are made for each other. :rotfl:

    That's funny Donny boy, but you know this means war!

  3. I would replace any worn part in the forks.

    You can go with thicker oil to slow the dampening rate I used 15 weight.

    I followed the manual on the head bearing adjustment and after a couple hundred miles it all settled in and was too loose it would start heading towards a tank slapper with one hand on the bars.

    I ended up snugging it by jacking the bike up and letting the front end fall to either side with zero rebound.

  4. Just thinking out loud here. I know we briefly talked about a "future" theme but in lieu of Elvis' 40th anniversary of his passing (8/16/77) falling so close to rally time a Elvis gig may be fitting.

    Does that band know Elvis tunes?
