I haven't ridden one but they are very light lifting off the kickstand. 110hp, on par with my 937 Duc and Yamaha 900 triple. Since I haven't ridden, don't know about comfort, handing and power delivery. (aka "feel")

Do you hear the fuel pump prime when you try to restart? I'd suspect a relay getting hot since it's 20 minutes. One trick, move and reset the relays when restarting.

Drink a pot every morning. $20 Ham Beach. Throw in 3 scoops plus 1 hazelnut. Let her rip. 10 minutes and pour. Don't overthink morning.

I remember seeing Hendrix live on Cavett. As well as Janis, Lennon, Jefferson Airplane. His band was led by Bobby Rosengarden. The show's theme was "Candide". Cavett perhaps educated me as a young teen as much as any news, lit or humanity study I ever had. There were some nasty feuds as well, like Mailer and Vidal. I recommend Gore Vidal's US History Series (aka "Narratives of Empire"). My favorites were "Lincoln" and "Empire". Chronologically, the series begins with "Burr".

Reminds me a similar story in Tulsa OK. This was during Leon Russell's heyday. Many of the major musicians came to town like Geo Harrison. Anyway, this guy is playing solo guitar in a local bar, The Colony. He's really, really good. He finishes his set and says "Thank you, I'm Eric Clapton". Walks out.

Harley + Dorna This was a shot in the dark. Speculation the Bagger Series will be MotoGP prelim races? https://www.motorsport.com/motogp/news/harley-davidson-and-motogps-dorna-announce-new-collaboration/10674094/

All prosecco is cheap, why do you think the Venetians added Aperol?

add some Aperol.

@docc Mine too. The song was inspired by Stefan Johannsen, a former Ferrari F1 driver that raced Indycars before he retired. Some of the sentiment was about the dangers of driving open wheel cars on oval tracks. A riding buddy (Suzuki Bandits) and myself took my travel trailer to the Indy 500 for the race weekend. I played the song so much, he asked me to stop. Sorta like my experience on the board here.

I was thinking the same. After I cleaned everything, fuses, relays and sockets, that's when the problem went from intermittent to fail. Failures always occurred on start up. I can't recall a failure once I got started.

These fuses aren't "failed" or blown. This particular group of fuses will just not work in a single slot. Two old discarded fuses I had as spares will work in that slot. I assume it's connection. I notice that each of three different brands of fuses has slightly different "prongs", one has straight ones, two have slight hooks on them (one that works and the other doesn't).

The fuses weren't new. I replaced them all like I replaced the relays a few years ago. I've had some connection problems with fuses on this bike before. In this case, NONE of those replacement fuses would work in that slot after I cleaned it. The old fuses I had stashed as spares in my tankbag worked fine, even one that was corroded. @docc Now that you mention it, the replacement fuses were the opaque type, the old ones are transparent. None of the fuses were blown, it's just the newer ones didn't work in that particular slot. Drove me nuts.

Being the most inept mechanic in the known world, I was screwing around on my '98 California EV. My V11 Sport and Ducati perhaps in the shop from now through eternity. So the taillights and turn signals intermittently fail. I've diagnosed (Lord help me) the problem to the fuse. It's just doesn't make good contact. So occasionally I have to reset or wiggle it, clean it with contact cleaner. Yesterday I went through the same drill. So today I decided to clean all the fuses and relays with DeOxit and contact cleaner. I replaced the fuses and relays a few years ago. They're all identical (15A). All cleaned up and randomly put them to their respective slots. And I never got the taillight/turn signals to ever work. (Brake light is fine). I play with all of them, reclean, move them around for perhaps an hour. Nothing. As last ditch effort I pull an old fuse, different brand, perhaps one I pulled out in the first place. And it works. Like magic. Not content, I find another one. An old fuse that is corroded and worn. Works fine. OK, What the heck? Someone tell me.

Kind of Blue 50th Anniv. Remastered original plus a live record (and some out takes). Considered the best jazz record of all time. If you want to move from bebop to fusion, look for a "Tribute to Jack Johnson", perhaps the best fusion record of all time.

My phone feed is telling me that Dorna would like for Rossi to quit diss-ing Marc over '15. It's not good for the sport. I suppose Dorna should've done something back in '15?

I think when the fuel pump went out my Greenie we found a replacement at NAPA for $80. Replacing relays, fusses, filter and pump should be a $100 or so. Don't forget tank suck.

It would really be cool if hydrogen cars could be run by sucking air and using a converter to remove the hydrogen. Never needs fuel, it runs on air. Cool. I suppose the next best deal would run on water, but you'd have to fill it with a garden hose. The O would be the exhaust?

guilty. Dirtymax pulls my toy hauler. I'm think about selling the whole rig. OTOH, my Corvette was t-boned this week by a woman running a stop sign her SUV. Even though her left front got me on the right rear as I was nearly out the intersection as she turned right, they're calling it 50/50. Don't know if the car is totaled. Actually, the family hauler is 4cyl Accord stick. Gets 30+ mpg, quiet, quick, handles. Then there's my 25-year-old Trooper for bad weather. a tool for every use if you're fortunate enough.

I'd guess the 1000s of FEMA workers, volunteers, suppliers and controllers that are doing their best to help the effected likely don't give a damn what you think and will still help you anyway. Hope you don't get caught it to find out.

Whether the extreme weather can be attributed to a single thing, no doubt CO2 emissions and global warnings are contributors. For sure what was considered a 500 year flood have now been revised to 5 year flood. I think before we get the climate straightened out over the next 3 or 4 generations to heal (100+ years perhaps), we'll have to reconsider reconstruction, flood plains, and better infrastructure. Some places shouldn't be built back, It might also mean that planning and restrictions on how much "higher ground" can be controlled by a few. Can it be done? I think so. The Netherlands and Venice have shown the technology and big infrastructure does work to protect from flooding. I think The Netherlands is one of the most rationally run nations in the world. But even in America, we're not going to be able to build like that for everyone, everywhere. We'll have to have priorities as I wrote previously. I've obviously stepped over the line here, so I apologize. I'll drop it here.

Speak for yourself Marty, my car runs on "cloud seeds".

I'm not the guy saying FEMA was "interfering" when they're providing immediate disaster relief and find it totally beyond silly that anyone could collect "cloud seeds" after the biggest flooding in history -even if I believed that it would've been done in the first place which is what's really nuts. So far as your 2 questions, that's what I was thinking about you. You should reread what you wrote.

Sorry but just don't believe what I've read here.
