Well, I've never been accused of being a genius. [emoji28] The box for the switch said attach a white wire. What do I know? Thanks for the gentle guidance; all is well. No sparks, no funky smells, no smoke, and no explosions! Have a great weekend. [emoji106]

The dummy is me! [emoji28] I'm replacing an old dimmer switch with a simple, single pole on/off switch. The box is full of wires. I don't know what's what. I need to connect a white and a black and a ground. Which ones?

It was getting a new shoe in any case, trip or no trip.

Always? [emoji28]

I spent the last couple of days with my brother riding rural Pennsylvania. What a treat. So many great roads, it's almost impossible to make a bad choice. Small charming towns, lots of places to stay. We left Toronto late Sunday afternoon, arrived in Bradford, PA at about 8:30pm. We had agreed...

Wow, what a ride! Good luck, Shane. I can't make, and I'm too slow, anyway. An observation: you're planning on coming down Hwy. 400 on Monday night, the final night of a long weekend??

I don't get it. The carrier put the key in the wrong box?

What took you so long? All maintenance will be easier now. Good work. (y)

Some work on the Guzzi. Took my sweet time over the last couple days while I'm on vacation. Replaced front pads and cleaned up the calipers, new rear tire, serviced the rear caliper, removed, cleaned, and regreased the splines on the final drive, cleaned and regreased squeaky bearings on the...

Here's the stuff, Molyslip grease with "Miraculous Molybdenum Disulphide Plating"! I bought it at Canadian Tire in the late seventies, I think. It's so old, there isn't even a UPC symbol, nevermind www. I don't know if it's suitable for my application, but it must be better than nothing, which...

Yes, I do. Or at least I think it's the stuff? It's a forty five year old tin of grease that says "moly something something" on it. [emoji28] I'll add a photo tomorrow.

Installing a new tire. While I'm at, remove the final drive, clean it up, regrease the splines. Also remove and clean the rear shock, and regrease the bearings, they become squeaky after a while.

@mimico_polak, did you buy the center stand yet? Can't live without it.

We need some photos, please.

No problem, bud. Nice bike, nice photo. [emoji106]
