Also - I was wondering if anyone would be completely offended if someone with one of those "other" bikes took this ride up to CT with me. Just figured I'd throw it out there.

Same as last time, I'll shoot for the early boat, but most like get the slightly later, be there before 10. I have a full brake bleeder kit. You can bleed mine too I'll bring my speed bleeders to install too. I have a sketchy connection to my left front signal I want to check out. So that multi meter would be great. And of course, if I can bring anything else lemme know. Benny Black & Silver '02 Too many mods to list Not enough miles ridden
