Whoever decided to design my bike with a circuit breaker was a smart man. I accidentally put my new battery in backwards this weekend, realized my mistake, and looked for a blown fuse. Surprise, surprise, no blown fuses, but the bike wasn't working - one quick search later and I find there's a circuit breaker. Is this a common feature on bikes?

Well, I finally discovered one reason why my bike was running poorly last season - the PO had hooked up the tank vent lines to the carb vents rather than leaving them free to hang. Of course, my first attempt at rectifying the situation was a failure, mostly because I didn't realize that the carbs HAD vents, so I assumed these were vacuum ports that had to be plugged. Needless to say, the bike wouldn't stay running.... Now that I've corrected my stupidity, I'm happy to say my bike is running better than it ever has before.

I'm heading on a 10 day tour from NJ to Atlanta, up to Johnson City, TN for the BMW MOA rally, back to Atlanta, and then back to NJ. If anyone is in those areas and wants to head out for a ride in that timeframe, feel free to PM me for contact info. If you happen to see me, come say hi. I'll be on my '89 Katana.

Got back from my trip around 9 last night. I'll post a trip report eventually, but for now I'm enjoying being lazy.

Personally, I'm stuck deciding between an R1100S and a Triumph Sprint. I've never heard anything good about the ABS on the R1100S though, so you might want to reconsider that option.

So simple, predictable and lovely. Win 7 at home. Love it. So there! I submit that you've simply grown used to the clusterfuck that is so much of the Windows world.

Z3n posted:That's really expensive. Maybe I'm spoiled by CA, but you can get trackdays for sub 100$ in this economy with 7-8 20 to 30 minute sessions. Or open trackdays for slightly more. California track days are cheaper than East Coast track days, partly because you fuckers don't have seasons.
