Just passed 20,000 last weekend. Damn I love to ride :D

Nothing really made me change my mind. I'm just ready to try something new & different.

Ya, but I didn't pull the battery, so I must have mistakenly reset it when getting gas at some point. Who knows. I ordered the AMSOIL directly from their website. I *really* wasn't in the mood to shop around for it so ehhhh, I paid $10.55 per quart. I would have ordered an entire case, but...

I had been using Trip B to log my miles for the season, but I checked it today and noticed it somehow got reset at some point because it only has 1000 miles logged. :mad: So much for that! Yea whoooops I'm well over 3k this go-round. Perhaps thats why I kept thinking it was shifting like...

Hmmmm I had never heard this. :eyebrow: Thanks for the tip. I suppose after I change the oil out this time (from conventional to synthetic) and change my filter to be sure I've gotten out as much of the old style of oil as possible, I won't have to change it the next go round. I'm kinda...

I do!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :thumbup:

*HAPPY BIRTHDAY* I hope it was a great day for ya!!

The Phoenix got some attention on Saturday by the lovely ladies at TK (they have a bike show every other Saturday at the location nearby my house) :cheer: I suppose these could go in the "What Not To Wear While Riding" thread... but the ladies weren't actually riding... so I approve of their...

Heheheh ya, they're reflective too, so they'll look "glow-in-the-dark" pink at night. I'll definitely put up a picture or two once I manage to find time to do it.

Looks nice! :thumbup: I'm excited to apply my pink stripes.

Yep -- I change it every time! K&N :thumbup: THANKS for the replies everyone!!

I've tried to read every post in the forum concerning conventional/synthetic oil -- but I didn't see this particular concern addressed: is there anything specific I have to do when changing my oil if I'm switching over from conventional to synthetic? After all the reading, I'm ready to...

Gosh... that's exactly what I was going to say!! ;) Seriously though... no - its not a "sport-tourer" the way some of the larger bikes are, but it is definitely a bike you can ride for many hours not be desperate to get off of because you're body aches in every place imaginable. I rode...

Chi-town suburbia :p

Thanks everyone, for all the sentiments. Her wake is Friday and the church service/funeral is Saturday, in Ohio. There are several of us from our riding group heading out there on Friday to pay our respects. I am very happy that her family has been so open to keeping us informed about the...

Tell me about it. Chicago/'burbs area is just as bad. I see them riding all too often and they're not even wearing a shirt. :eek:

Jeeez, I had the same feeling. I'm so glad you are okay, MikeN02. 'tis the season for crashing, that's for sure. I'm hearing about way too many of these right now... its giving me a little bit of anxiety.

My bike would hardly start one day after work a few weeks ago. It was almost as if the battery was drained or something... after several attempts to start it (kept dying the instant it would turn over) it finally stayed running. My garage gets really super-hot inside during the hot days. I...

I have a bunch of friends from my riding club out in Colorado this week. Some of them trailered their bikes out there, one was already out there riding, and one left on her bike to meet up with the group a day or two into their trip. I got the call very late last night... Even though the...
