If I can get padding over my knee in any sort of comfortable way, I will go and make you proud, Thumper!!

Adrenaline is a great pain killer.

Excellent, congrats Mr Vacman! Now it's time to sell that puny lil 565 and step up to a 640 Adventure! It's the perfect for this Sunday's ride (well Any ride really...). Really. It's been said that once riders throw a leg over the legendary 640A, an uncontrollable sense of euphoria overwhelms them and the first twist of the throttle on the mighty LC4 instantly leads them on a lifetime of eternal bliss.

That's funny... I thought that was just their a$$es going numb from the vibes?!

...... Just joking, 640's a great bike! I used to have an SXC back in the day.

like I said via text you sure are good at trying to spend my money. Haha. No 640 in my future. Next bike will be a twin capable of dirt duty...

there's a joke in there somewhere

[TrophyHunter 15]

Bolts are pretty generic. Dixieline always seems to have a good selection of metric stuff. Even if you have to shim it a little, it'll prolly do.

[ThumperBob 21]

Miriam, Check out Ace hardware in Alpine. They will have it.

Might have a change of plans....

I find this Tusk 180 piece bolt kit from RMATV to be great when I need a random bolt/washer for the bike: http://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/p/988/16415/Tusk-180-Piece-Metric-Motorcycle-Bolt-Kit?term=tusk%20bolt%20kit

she was doing a trial run to see if the knee stood up to the torture of Old Highway 80 from Lake Jennings to Tavern Road

If a guy wanted a hearty breakfast in Alpine before this ride, where would be the hot spot?

[bikeslut 1]

In the same parking lot is a Greek/American Grill; good prices, decent food. There is also a flapjack place in the same lot and obviously, Carl's Jr. Steph's donut hole is also in that lot.........for a "hearty" breakfast, one mile East on Alpine Blvd is Janet's Montana Cafe- HUGE portions in a rustic decor

Let me know where and I'll meet you for some coffee. I'm just gonna ride up and say Hi anyway-my knee is for sure not ready for any more than that yet.
