Did you replace the t-stat or just check it? It occurred to me that you can't be holding pressure over night and have a normal atmospheric leak....
I have been traveling all my life to get to my VFR but as for actual distance traveled, I had to go about 50 miles one way to pick her up.
There is a difference between a battery with a bad cell that still has juice, just not enough, and a dead battery with an internal short. If your...
Yes, but now that you mention it, it does look like a lot like Mel Gibson's haunt in the Lethal Weapons film franchise. What a great trip. I am...

My old boss used to say, "when you have tried all the normal fixes, you have to start looking at every shitty thing it could be." This phrase...
I love this " As long as I have at least 1 bike in a hundered pieces in the basement, then I feel complete." I think it needs to be on a T-shirt.

It is a Two Brothers can. It came on the bike and I don't know much about it but is sounds fantastic.
I have had my 5 gen VFR for a week and already know I am going to have to replace the T-stat. It was cold this past weekend and the bike never got...

Ride the Hill Country? In Georgetown you can throw a rock and hit the Hill Country! Yes, I would love to ride out your way. Might take me a...
I rode out to Jefferson, Texas on my (new to me) 2000 VFR, for the Annual North Texas Norton Owners Association Lake of the Pines rally. Let me...
