Armour All sits on the surface of vinyl and actually promotes craking, by incresing surface temperature. 303 is a sun block which prevents aging. The guy I buy it from will ship to UK; just let him know I sent you

Others have summed up the way I feel better than I could ever articulate. Yahoo Boy was one of the people that really drew me to this board. I admit that I don't post that much, and I hate to be one of those guys that reads it all, but hardly contributes. His comments and enthusiasm for both the Roc...

How about Roundelle?

It works in quite a few ways.

You could also feed her a lot, and call her roundie for short :smt098

There was a lot of bike stuff, but I didn't see any BMWs, only some idiots doing 140mph through Ortega canyon in Cali. Some stuff on Indian and HD, too.

Perhaps I watched the wrong one?

We had a couple of 100+ days here (also dry heat), and I simply sprayed my T shirt with water so that it is damp. I have a Field Sheer mesh jacket (with proper armor), which even with 100 degree wind, it is nice and cool--so long as I'm moving. Unfortuneately, the T shirt is dry after only 10 minute...

The furthest I have run is 187 miles, and the bike took 3.9 gal US, which is about 48 mpg. Usually have about 175 miles on the trip, when the light comes on, and usually takes 3.5 gal or less, which is about 50 mpg. I just turned 4300 miles tonight, so the bike isn't quite broken in yet. Lots of smi...

That has happend a couple of times to me as well; I now pull up so my headlight is right in the driver side mirror. It helps to also stay out of the "oil drip" lane. In fact, while "caging" I like to follow 'cycles as a "brotherly" gesture, jsut so some other a!@#$ does...

Sure enough, I read this thread last week at some point, which cursed me. I noticed a small leak yesterday. :x

I have an appointment Tuesday; hopefully warranty covers it.

I use 303 Aerospace Protectant; it has SPF 40. It is a little shiny when done, but the flat effect returns after a bit. That particular product is also good for the hoses, and all the plastic bits, especially the alternator cover behind the front wheel. It creates a non-stick effect that makes clean...

I LOVE the way these bikes look on a hard-leaned right turn, with the exposed rear wheel, and all the bits and pieces hanging out the side. Too bad I can usually never see it...
