That area must be a bear hot spot, because I also had a black bear cross the road in front of me at 120/555 last year.

After replacing the starter, I realized that it was not the problem. I removed the left engine case and found that the crank bolt was totally loose. The starter was turning but not contacting the gear mechanism because it was off-line. Thanks again to every body for their help.

Have fun and be safe. Don't rush around too much. Try to stop and smell the roses or it will all be a blur. Please post pictures upon your return.

Be careful on 17. Last year the cracks in the road were big enough to swallow your front tire.

This thread reminds me why it's so important to learn to do as much of your own service as possible. You will save money, and if there is a problem with the work you have no one to blame but yourself.

Enjoy! Anxious to hear your ride report.

That Bandit 1200 is a great bargain at $3000 certified.

I've dealt with this U.S place and found them to be great. Just get them to ship it U.S. mail. They're based in Texas. They're now called Motorcycle Gear, but were previously known as Newenough.com. Be sure to check out their Close Out section. They have some smoking deals there...

Would you still wear these long underwear under leather pants in the summer while touring?

I've had a set of these bags for two years. They fade to a brownish grey after the first year and they are not really waterproof. I pack my stuff in plastic bags. They also do not have head shields under them, so be sure they clear your exhaust. In short they're not the best, but a good product...

I am one of those who have only had one low speed low side in many years of riding. You my friend are a true rider. You were involved in a serious accident through no fault of your own. You suffered with your body, yet you continue to ride. You passed the test. You are a hardcore rider. Many of...

My current Corbin seat was slippery as hell whenever I accelerated. I had it recovered with an extra layer of softer foam on top and the problem went away.

I agree. I needed a metric stainless bolt for my fender recently. I found an American on-line source for under a dollar. However, the shipping was $12.00 I ended up buying it at a local Suzuki dealer for $4.50, and they had it in stock.
