Ha. It was a little early for a beer in the middle for me yesterday morning. I dove in to a double tire change (trying IRC GP-1s this time around) about 0730. Had a cup of coffee in the middle, saved the beer for the afternoon (and after the test ride). __Arden

Hi Arden, one of my favorite signs at a local pub I eat at several time a year when I happen to be in that area states......."Beer.....not just a breafast drink" ....coffee is more of a working fuel.....later ....Greg

I decided I didn't need to locktite my cover bolts anymore. I figured after having to dig out two screws twice, I would fore go the locktite. I figured the cover was so close to my face, I would see if the bolts loosened up. I have two bikes to maintain, my wifes also, and for me, first hand knowledge says blue locktite is not necessary in all bolts.
