    Let them eat cake.

    I got a text from Ray Lott, my exhaust extension has been shipped as of this morning, anticipate arrival by Friday. I asked what else Mr. Dowell had in inventory and Ray said that there were quite a few extensions for older bikes, if that's of interest. Can you send a replacement bobbin cover...

    Rod, from the absolute VOLUME of posts I've put on this board, you should understand that I'm a chatterbox par excellence. ;-) I was introverted until I found out that's not as much fun as having conversations with people, and if you get any calls from California, they're either from Tony or me...

    I probably overstepped here, but this is the text of the letter that accompanied the check: Dear Ms. LaMothe, I and many others in the motorcycling community extend our deepest sympathies and condolences on the passing of your father, Mr. Dowell. My association with him was limited to a...

    I just got a phone message from Raymond Lott, a friend & customer of Tom Dowell. He wanted to know that he can look for & hopefully find & let me purchase the exhaust extension for my bike in about a week, given access to the shop. He's a rider with a bunch of bikes, BMWs, HDs, etc., and I...

    Army buddy & son went riding with me up to Alice's Restaurant in Woodside, CA Sunday morning. Heavy fog, heavy mist, light rain, pine needles, pine bark, pine mud... made the roads slick as snail snot & covered in dense fog. Not the most fun ride I've had, but I was hauling the ADV1 for fun &...

    First Ride - Impressions

    I had a Lieutenant Colonel whose favorite saying was, "It's cheaper to ask a dumb question than pay for a dumb mistake." I've always taken that to heart because I'm cheap and I don't mind asking dumb questions. :D

    Definitely NOT. Take the round black covers off the two higher points to the left (in your picture) and adjust the bolts there. :thumbup

    Shakedown run, lights config, & license plate

    Well, I got the shelf hardware & the RotopaX (sp?) installed today, it's almost easier with the trailer upside down so access to the fiddly nut channels is better, but it's still a tight squeeze. Shelf on front left, RotopaX on front right, and I've got an excess of spacers, bolts, washers, &...

    The funeral home says they'll get me an email for a family member, so there's that.

    Any thoughts on the trap tightness affecting turn radius or stiffness in turning?

    Shakedown run, lights config, & license plate

    I'm sure the bureaucrats have run the numbers on creating a new numbering scheme for MC trailer plates and it's not worth the expense.

    Shakedown run, lights config, & license plate

    When I moved from the Wet State of WA, I drove my cheap POS Corolla wagon and the CA DMV charged me an additional $300 for coming into the state with ... wait for it ... an out-of-state vehicle. Absolute fee-grabbing just because they could. There was an outcry by many and I eventually got my...

    Shakedown run, lights config, & license plate

    Briefly (suuure...), I got the trailer completely installed on the bike, adjusted sag, and departed from home yesterday @ 10 AM. Drove to Clearwater Lights in Rancho Cordova (105 miles), arrived @ 11:45. Yes, this is California, lane-splitting is legal and speeds were above the posted 65 MPH. 😁...
