Hello everyone! As of today, we have 90 registered! That's going to be a great turn out!
Just a reminder that rally registration closes on May 9 so that we can place our t-shirt order for the rally.
If you are coming, but have not sent in your registration, do it TODAY or TOMORROW!
After that, we will not accept any orders for t-shirts. We order a few extra of the most common sizes for the rally. You can only get what is available.
Have you all made your hotel reservations? If not, do it NOW! If our blocked rooms are full at Laquinta Inn, you'll have to find other lodging.
See you all soon!

Shifter again

Post by GrandpaDenny »

Driving home this evening, felt something hit my heel and drag the ground, though the side stand had fallen. Nope, the shifter again. Is this a common problem with these bikes, a weakness in the linkage? This is twice in three months! Less than 500 miles! Ok, so I wear size 15 steel toes, maybe that's it? Perhaps I just don't know my own strength? I doubt that's it, this isn't my first bike, I've had big feet as long as I can remember, when I was younger I was stronger, and I've never broken a shift linkage on any other bike.

... I have floor boards, they have 2 supports and it caught mine a few times and
cradled it 'til I stopped... do some searches.. methinks it's a know problem..

I tightened mine best I could and double zip tied it on, so it can't come off again...
Best to Ya! As I have a heel/toe shifter, I did NOT want to lose it!!!!!
