At age 50 I decided to turn 180 degrees and see how close to 0 I can get. 35 and looking foreward to those rebellious teen years!

Back then there was an expected failure rate for kids. We would climb into shopping carts in the grocery store parking lots and get towed around on the constantly shaking wheels behind pick-ups. Some of us survived to reproduce.

Well, looks like you've got things in hand Downeaster. Sounds like for mph the calculation would be distance for tire circumference per full rotation. Time between beats is the parts of an hour. Probably need lots of spaces on one side of the decimal point for this one.

I'm still trying to decide just how accurate all this is going to be? With the magnet on the constantly moving target, the wheel bouncing up and down, and the receiver/transmitter on a fixed point on the body or frame, those two points are always in a different spot in the rotation. compared to...

The technology is all but there already to completely eliminate service techs. Most new equipment has self diagnostic capabilities and with a standardized parts inventory, any robot can plug in a new module. Be as easy as upgrades on the computer. Down time between 3 and 4 am. self driving unit...

Are these still for sale? How much to ship to 51338?

Yeah, there are a group at work that were all twitterpated about heading out onto the lake this weekend and augering holes to go fishing. 28 below and a 20 mph breeze! Sharp as potato salad.

We have a couple of women at work that ride 883's and a few wan-a-be bad boys with genuine Harley chaps and dew-rag and coffee mug and full sized Harleys. The women are bikers. The guys will keep planning that trip to Sturges and whose trailer they will take as they eat their watercress and...

The idea of a yearly gathering of anything xs650 sounds great to me. I have told myself I was going the last couple of years and let it slide because of our daughter needing to be given away by some "father of the bride" rule that seems to trump everything else except maybe the same daughter...
