    My first and only white Christmas I can remember was 1976. We traveled from our home in Texas to my grandparents in Arkansas. I received a bicentennial electric train which I still have today. I set it up around the Christmas tree years ago for my girls when they were old enough to enjoy it. Can't wait for the grand kids to get a little older and share it with them I just hope it can compete with the WII and all these new fangled toys that will never last 36 years.Oh Yeah the SNOW was great.

    Best tip I can give if don't already know it is release the front brake just before you get ready to put your left foot down at a stop. Any irregularity in the road surface or front wheel not straight will try and make the heavy front end pull left or right and you will be trying to catch it and that ain't easy. Also a little rear brake drag on slow maneuvers helps keep the bike upright.

    Just some newbie trying to make sense of all the options. I have never been part of any organization and was wondering if I should rethink my position. I am sure you guys/gals will not disappoint with your replies. Thanks again. Well your part of one now

    Roy as exrsa 1 clarified the leveling links raise the rear 1 inch above stock height. I made a set for mine and it made a big improvement. As you stated in your earlier thread about the front NOT being lowered I'm pretty sure if you went with leveling links from where the bike sits as you purchased it it would raise the rear 2 inches. If your not sure you would be comfortable with this I have a set of stock links I would rent you for a mere $12 bucks and let you try that first. I will be out that way in a few weeks or I could mail them to you. BUT I would like them returned in case I ever decide to sale my bike.

    Whether you do your own maint. or have the dealer do it or another trusted shop doesn't matter. There is no stupid questions and you don't look foolish for asking about your bike. The folks here are great to help out and may ask some questions of you about your bike not to make you feel foolish but so they don't make a fool out themselves for giving you some bad information. Glad your excited about it if you weren't then why bother.

    I understand your wanting to learn about your bike as you should. BUT first you need some time in the saddle and figure out what the bike is telling you. For instance how does handle for you does the front feel heavy or more like extra heavy at slow speeds and stops. We all know that is heavy or do you like the way it handles already. These things would let us know more of how to help you if you are not happy with it's handling. As far as oil again listen to what the bike likes. Does it have the dreaded clutch wine at certain speeds. I have noticed with some oils mine was unbearable and others much quieter. What ever oil you put in it be sure it doesn't have the friction modifiers or oil specifically compatible with a wet clutch. So get out and ride first chance you get and put some miles on her.

    Thanks Condor not sure how you did that. But I thought it looked real clean also. Maybe they road it till 2nd gear went out.

    I noticed from your other thread that you were doing a make over on your bike. Have you ever checked your swing arm bearings if you have the shock out and rear tire off it would be a great time to do it.
