The CB1100 Community Forum

I didn't want to touch that, especially with the Q-Tip. Glad you took the plunge DV (aka PB).

I walked away feeling a little lucky .. haha .. call it what you will, I look at it as a badge of honor.. not everyone can install them, I'm thinking.. at 76, I am sure my strength is waning, but I did it !! .. remember that old saying.. "I'm the man you thought you were" ..

No longer a Padawan you are. One of us you are now! (Read in Yoda’s voice)

What would the Forum do without the celebration rituals? It would be a more boring place.

to Ferret & popgun!

thank you Yoda.. sorry Darth..

Heh, heh, Dart(h) will survive any situation, regardless of what outside mask it has..

what can I say .. I need my comforts.. my feet are now my weakest link, when it comes to the cold.. I have had the Gerbing socks before and they didn't hold up very well.. they were quite thin and the wiring shorted out.. so we will experiment with these heated soles.. I am not a fan of the "y" harness running inside of my clothing, but it isn't as bad when it runs down the leg.. I keep telling myself, "think scuba" and all of the effort it takes to ready oneself for a dive.. then the heated gear doesn't seem like so much trouble.. I'll tell ya, once you are on the road and you can just dial in your temps, it feels wonderful !! ..
