    Before you spend money replacing them try getting a tube of brake quiet. Permatex makes a good one. slip the pads out coat the back side, wait until it gets tacky and then slip the pads back in. If you decide to replace the pads anyway I would still apply the brake quiet to the back sides before putting them in.

    Why I'm Divorced Last week was my birthday and I didn't feel very well waking up on that morning. I went downstairs for breakfast hoping my husband would be pleasant and say, 'Happy Birthday!', and possibly have a small present for me. As it turned out, he barely said good morning, let alone ' Happy Birthday.' I thought....well, that's marriage for you, but the kids.... they will remember. My kids came bouncing down stairs to breakfast and didn't say a word. So when I left for the office I felt pretty low and somewhat despondent. As I walked into my office, my handsome boss Rick, said, 'Good morning, lady, and by the way Happy Birthday!' It felt a little better that at least someone had remembered. I worked until one o'clock, when Rick knocked on my door and said, 'You know, It's such a beautiful day outside, and it is your birthday, what do you say we go out to lunch, just you and me.' I said, 'Thanks, Rick, that's the greatest thing I've heard all day. Let's go!' We went to lunch. But we didn't go where we normally would go.He chose instead a quiet bistro with a private table.We had two martinis each and I enjoyed the meal tremendously. On the way back to the office, Rick said, 'You know, It's such a beautiful day...we don't need to go straight back to the office, do we?' I responded, 'I guess not. What do you have in mind?' He said, 'Let's drop by my place, it's just around the corner.' After arriving at his house, Rick turned to me and said, 'If you don't mind, I'm going to step into the bedroom for just a moment. I'll be right back.' 'Ok.' I nervously replied. He went into the bedroom and, after a couple of minutes, he came out carrying a huge birthday cake, followed by my husband, my kids, and dozens of my friendsand co-workers, all singing 'Happy Birthday'. And I just sat there.... on the couch.... naked.

    It depends on were I am and how trusting I feel at the time. generally I leave my helmet on the dash behind the windshield if it is my half helmet. and use the helmet lock if it is my full face.

    Speaking of pygmies are you missing a few. as of late my bike seems to be mysteriously plagued with problems

    based on your discription I would be thinking too much gear lash between the pinion and crown gears in the rear drive unit. this is usaully caused by worn out bearings. Drain the oil from your diff into a clean container and see if looks silvery. Another possibillity is lack of lubrication on the rear wheel drive splines. On my bike I had the threaded end snap of the pinion gear shaft, the bike would still drive but I had that vibration.

    I have used Techs perma seal tire plugs for years on both trucks and cars without ever having one fail. They are an external plug through repair. The mobile supplier I use, had 250 of them in the side wall of his front tire for demo purposes by the time he wore out the tire. Not that I would recomend using these on a MC tire for other than a temporary repair. But I am just pointing out that armed with the knowledge that these plugs are that reliable, I would have no problem using the next one up which is thier pull through plug and patch. The main thing is that the repair area be absolutly clean for proper bonding. Also putting an inner tube in a tubless tire is bad practice as this generally causes increased tire running tempratures, for which the tubless tire is not designed, risking possible casing sepparation.

    So you already know were to stick it. actually as mentioned it would depend on what temp you want to read 1. ambient, any were that shades it from the open sun and placed behind anything that gaurds from direct airstream flow while riding 2. windshield or windstream, out of the sun but directly in the airstream while riding. 3. cockpit. that one is somewhat obvious Truckers use one called ice alert it gives both inside and outside temp. There is a sensor in the main body which gives the temp of the air around the unit itself, and then there is a second sensor on a wire lead that you mount anywhere out of direct sunlight and direct airflow to measure ambient temp. It is availble at any truck stop.

    Also make sure of the material. You mentioned thin cloth type fabric, which would leave me to believe it is probably egyption cotton, it is somewhat similiar to canvas and is waterproofed in the same way. 3m type silicone sprays are for nylon and othe synthetic materials. Canvas egyption cotton and similiar materials are treated with a parafin based product designed for canvas, after which you rub the seams with wax. If you can not find any. you can make your own, which is the way we used to do it. You disolve parafin wax with naptha gas or camp fuel until it is just thin enough to brush on, or spray on with a garden sprayer if you prefer. BEWARE IN THIS STATE IT IS HIGHLY FLAMABLE -- DO NOT SMOKE OR USE NEAR OPEN FLAME. Once sprayed on (the amount is not important as long as put on enough) leave open for several days for the fuel to fully evaporate, this leaves behind a water proof waxey coating and that good old fashioned canvas scent.

    Our little guy Charlie who sat out and watched the fireworks with me is a Bichon also. He sure shamed my Airedale. He even put it in three piles 1-stuff to keep 2- stuff to keep and 3- stuff to keep, now if that had been my wife ther would be no organized piles at all.........come to think of it, there just wouldn't be anything at all.

    I am not familliar with the kit so my thoughts here could be out in left feild. However I am assuming that drive power is still provided by the center wheel, and I am wondering if when one of the outside wheels., climbs a high spot would this not cause the centre wheel to lift off the ground therefore loosing traction and as a result become a safty issue, speacialy if going up hill and this may be why the legality of it is an issue? Just wondering.
