Hi, Just gave the bike a bath. 1475 glorious miles in KY, VA, NC, and TN. Asphalt cornering bliss..... T31's grip is great, tipping into corners with confidence. But, I need to fix the ZZZZZZZZZing clutch vibration and snatchy throttle. Anybody got a clutch tool for sale or rent? See ya bill

Hi Keithu, As you say, about the only print magazine left. Popular Cycling Cycle Motorcyclist (online only) Sport Bike Cycle World (quarterly) Rider I subscribed to these publications over the years, most gone.... Rider magazine is the only one I currently purchase. When Motorcyclist and CW went quarterly, I lost interest due to the content. I only read the British magazines infrequently. ( When I happen to be in a Barnes and Nobles book store in a big city). Of course, contributing to their demise, since I don't purchase.... See ya bill

Hi, August Magazine..... I pestered EPG Media in early August and was told the August issue would be sent. I emailed again about a week ago and was assured they would be sending soon. I also received the electronic September issue..... Just happy they are still in business. See ya bill

Rider magazine is back in print! See ya bill

Hi, I don't like the motion pro rim protectors, they're too loose fitting. These Stockton ones snap tight to the rim, mucho better.... And I also use plastic jugs, cut up, for additional protection. AND, I keep swearing, I'm done, manually mounting...but...... See ya bill

Hi, Got a set of Bridgestone T31's ordered August 3 from RMADV. Received the tires 3 days later. RMADV filed the rebate for me. Received the Debit card rebate yesterday. Kudos to RMADV and Bridgestone! Oh, build date for the tires 2120! 😁 See ya bill

Mounted BridgestoneT31's today. Got 9,000 miles out of the Dunlop RS3's. Did it manually using Motion Pro tools. After mounting the RS3's last summer, I decided to never manually mount tires again.. I forgot... Took a while but got it done. The key is LUBE, LUBE, LUBE. Go to a local tire store and get some. Generally they will give you some.... See ya bill

Haha, 48 here.....it doesn't change.... I remind her, now and then, she was a poor judge of character.😁 But, she puts up with me.. so I am happy... See ya bill

Ah, new chain, sprockets, and tires.. A great combination.... It was 92 degrees here today. The last 75 miles was warm. Southern Indiana isn't like N GA. At least in GA you get into the mountains where it's cooler.... You know, there's a temperature where speed doesn't cool much... haha... but I keep trying.... See ya bill

Hi, just finished a 245 mile ride am ready to mount the Bridgestone T31's. Did get 9000 out of the Dunlop RS3's. They did okay. The RS3 profile seems rounder than the T31's. I like "pointy" profile tires, so hoping the Bridgestones are da bomb...... See ya bill

Hi, 15, 16,000 miles, stock suspension, R3's. 180# nekkid... Based on the rear tire pattern, I need to stiffen/harden/slow the rebound on the rear shock. (Dave Miss videos) I'm one click out from "closed". Still have some scalloping. Anyone have the same experience? See ya bill

Hi, 15 FJ09. Replaced the clutch cable. The original wasn't frayed....16500 miles. 265 mile break in ride. New Cable working fine!😁 Next up.. spoon on a set of Bridgestone T31's. See ya bill

Got a set of T31's from RMATV. $240 ,free shipping, $40 rebate. $200 for the set. 😁👍 Happy......

Hi, Did you mount the T31's yourself? I used to have a tire machine and mounted many. I moved and sold the equipment. I now mount with spoons and grunt work... The R3's were difficult due to stiff sidewalls. See ya bill

Nah, I miss-typed........🙄 Anybody found sport-touring tires for outstanding (low) prices this summer? Seems Dunlop R3's are scarce. RMADV doesn't list them. And only a few rebates. Any recommendations? See ya bill

Glad to hear you are doing well. I am from Woodstock GA and love the N GA Mountains. Now reside in S. Indiana that the wife can be close to the kids/grandkids.... RR is a favorite road. And GA dirt is slick when damp....☹️ 66 this month. Yep, time marches on...... See ya bill
