So accessible!

1. Shaft to avoid chain maintenance.
2. Belt if you don't have to take half the bike apart to replace it.
3. Chain. Better now that I use chain wax.

Oh yes! I let it dry overnight and no flying off onto the wheel.

That said, on the CB, I think anything other than chain drive would be out of character and unnecessary.

Yep!

Thank you. I promised family that #17 was final bike, so 55 years of riding has come to an end. I now have full (almost full?) movement of right eye, double vision only occurs looking far right and I can now drive with both eyes open. So now I am limited to vicarious motorcycling through this and one other forum. Cause remains unknown. Doctor thinks it is too limited to be a stroke.

I accepted Iodine injection for CT Scan and nothing found.

Peter Baron kindly asked via email about the scheduled MRI/MRA. I balked at Gadolinium injection for MRI/MRA, so doctor ordered MRI/MRA without contrast; but I backed out when the "catcher's mask" was put on and told to be still for 25 minutes. More claustrophobic than I thought. Radiology voided the co-pay.

More claustrophobic than a full face helmet?

Ok, I need to learn about this. i've been religiously cleaning and oiling my chain for a while now, what's the wax i keep hearing about?
