Hey, hi, just joined
« on: May 06, 2012, 10:16:45 AM »
Hey folks.  New to list.  just got my first Connie, an 08, 6k miles on her, barely left the garage it looks like.  I usually put 25k a year on bikes and even though I spread it out over a few I expect to get this one up to 18 by the end of the summer. 

Anyway, just givin a shout.  Finished moving all my long distance farkles over from my Tiger yesterday, did a full service on it and replaced all the 4 year old fluids.  Got most of the dreaded front brake pulse out by cleaning the rotors but still some left so they may actually be warped, will be trying to get dealer to replace under GTPP, as well as the TPMS that give 'low battery warning' on cool mornings.

You lucky dog you, you ended up with the vastly quicker '14 ;D
Word of caution, we have a PW who owns and crashes his slow black 09, he does have some wicked pretty farkles fit for a museum.  He promised SWMBO that he would not do anything to quicken the Harley like performance of his black stead, so he always counters any mods with black bits and pieces.  He recently had a spat with you know who, in fits of rebellion he dropped his bike and recently scraped hs mirror, all in the hopes of releasing some silverdammit.  After being chastised he has since returned his stead (Black Beauty) to it's normal underperforming self.  I wonder what riding a gelded pony is like? ;) ;D ;D ;D

Actually I'm on a diet right now trying to drop some weight before we go to Cancun in June, mama has me on "Bud 55 Select", only 55 calories per beer...  :(
 
It's better than no beer at all though I guess...  :-\
 
I've already dropped 6 lbs in the last 2 weeks!  :)
