Nothing like being in the zone on a long twisty road to clear your head. It’s impossible to think about other stuff. I like to let the fast guys get out of sight so I can focus on the road at my pace.

The New Cumberland rally was the unofficial start of the riding season for many years. After Bucky's death the fire dept could have stepped up & kept the rally going as it was a real boon to a struggling small town. I asked the ladies at Wick's about it, they said the problem with the fire dept. was "too many chiefs & not enough Indians". A personal observation, I've had occasion to visit a fair number of fire houses in my 77 years, New Cumberland West Va. was by far the dirtiest & least well organized (in appearance) I've ever seen.
I understand there have been a few folks who have continued to show up at the rally site on Memorial Day weekend year after year, any this year?

Just an FYI . Another great stop in the area is “Sporty’s Iron Duke saloon” in Minerva NY . Don’t let the name scare ya . It’s on Rt.28n . The museum alone is well worth the stop .Camping & cabins are also available . I’ve no relation to the business, just a great stop . If ya get a BLT have a friend w/ya !

Definitely on the list for next time.  I was within 19 miles when passing through Newcomb. Thanks for the tip.

$30.00 to watch all the TT races, practice and qualifying is worth it to me. As is the $130 or so I pay to watch the all of the MotoGP season. If I could watch all the races on cable TV for free, I would still gladly pay the money just to avoid all the commercials and the vastly more detailed coverage. I will say the guys that do the MotoGP coverage do a much more professional job than those who are doing the Isle of Man TT races.

Not if it's the guy at my local tire shop. Had to use a 2 ft pipe on my 2 ft breaker bar to get them loose. I always check after anyone takes a wheel off. If I had a flat I never would have gotten the wheel off with the tire change tools.

I had a similar experience at my local Discount Tire store last year.

When I wanted to check my brakes afterward, I had to use a 2' cross wrench, a jack stand, a 4' steel tube, and my 220 pounds to loosen one lug on each wheel on my car.

14 1400 custom, could tell clutch switch was broken, plunger would not extend. Bought a replacement micro switch and wired the same as the way the wires came out of the original switch. Tested with the guzzidiag and clutch lever released status =1, lever pulled in status=2. Where can I get a list of status codes for the different measurement options?
