I love the look of my bikes when they are clean, but I am not much of a detail guy, so I am a fan of Suzuki's Spray and Wash product - just spray on, let set for a few seconds, and hose off.Lancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02458096347718242672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2259595163018451877.post-20585321706593300172009-06-02T16:00:37.362-05:002009-06-02T16:00:37.362-05:00Jack,

Of course you need to realize that if I was in Oklahoma or Texas, it would be "Jim-Bob" or if you take it to the ultimate degree (sort of like the triple dog dare) it would be "Jimbo-Bob". I have been called lots of names in my life.<br /><br />The re-arrangement of the topcase was due to the fact that all of my winter "stuff" was still in it, piled all over the bottom. I just decided that I wasn't going to need any of that stuff for 4-5 months.<br /><br />And it sounds like you had a great ride last weekend. Am breathlessly waiting for a report on the ride. The new scooter club has an outing planned for this weekend and a ride report on that will be forthcoming.<br /><br />Finally, am just a bit curious about the spare clutch cable you mentioned. Doesn't that somehow connect to that automatic retracting side stand you have? Is it subject to failure often? Just curious.<br /><br />Take Care and thanks for writing in.<br /><br />Jimbo-Bobcpa3485https://www.blogger.com/profile/00031439889267356735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2259595163018451877.post-55951537075050788982009-06-02T14:54:26.601-05:002009-06-02T14:54:26.601-05:00PS: Ceaning the wheels is a real pain in the ass r...PS: Ceaning the wheels is a real pain in the ass regardless of what you ride.<br /><br />JackJack Riepehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531160098262862027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2259595163018451877.post-78225765191399743972009-06-02T14:53:13.609-05:002009-06-02T14:53:13.609-05:00Dear CPA3485 (Jimbo):

It contained: 1 quart of oil, 1 extra clutch cable, 1 camera, 1 pair of binoculars, 1 flashlight, 1 flask of whisky, 1 water bottle, 1 locking cable, 4 cigars, 1 kickstand plate, 1 cigar lighter, 1 Garmin carrying case, 4 bandanas, 1 garage door opener, and one folding walking cane.<br /><br />Yours sounded positively organized. And I was traveling light. You should see what my friends Clyde had in one of his sidebags when we got to the cabin.<br /><br />Fondest regards,<br />Jack<br />Twisted Roads.Jack Riepehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531160098262862027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2259595163018451877.post-3396981670237651702009-06-02T10:38:13.516-05:002009-06-02T10:38:13.516-05:00Art,

Two days later we had some rain and all of the water spots came back with a vengeance. But what was really bothering me was the brake dust on the wheels. They look a lot better than they did before, even after the little rain we had.<br /><br />Jimcpa3485https://www.blogger.com/profile/00031439889267356735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2259595163018451877.post-79998124096389038882009-06-01T23:30:03.609-05:002009-06-01T23:30:03.609-05:00Never be embarrassed about a dirty bike, keeping a...Never be embarrassed about a dirty bike, keeping a bike properly serviced (by your self or dealer) is much more important than a clean bike. The fact that you don't have time to wash your bike because you are RIDING it is a good thing. I give mine a bath once a year weather it needs it or not. Do clean you helmet face shield and wind screen on a regular interval or when you get one of those big gooey Kansas bugs plastered to it.
