Re: Hungry Mother #8 August 19-21 2011

I'm in but seeing as my bike can't carry a mattress big enough for me to be comfortable, I will most likely be staying at a motel.

Re: FD OEM fluid color?

I believe the original color was somewhere between light caramel and natural amber. Not trying to be a smart-ass here just hard to describe a color - maybe straw-brown is a better choice of words.

Let's try to not turn this into a pissing match. We have new members and an aggressive welcome such as this isn't the way to keep new members.

Re: What seat do I have?

I just checked the barn and I still have 'my seat' so you must have 'your seat'.
Hope this helps.

Re: First Bike Accident.

Glad things were not worse than you describe. Far too many cagers don't know how to drive so yes you have to be very careful around them. Good Luck!

Re: New R1150R owner

Hi John, I just saw a pretty depressing spot (doom and gloom) about the economic and socio-economic situation in the US of A. Seems like the country is going down the drain. High degree of unemployment (40 million), people sleeping under bridges, cities being deserted, weapon and ammo sales at all ...

Re: Starter noise

Top Speed - I think will depend on your weight and flat, uphill, or downhill riding. I had mine at 123 indicated which equated to 116 gps speed a couple of times but I'm a bit rotund. I've had my RS to the same but it feels like I could get more out of the RS if I asked for it.

Re: Starter noise

Dr. (and Stella)
I would tend to agree that dirt and grime are inhibiting spring travel. I believe any light-weight grease would be fine for the shaft.

Good luck and keep us posted on your findings.
