Evening gents! Been a busy day. Wrenching on the bikes this evening because it's finally not miserable out after the storms passed through. Just taking a quick break and then back at it.

I ordered the Muller clutch slave finally. I've done enough research I think, that I believe that's the right one. It was the one thing I REALLY wish I had on our ride. My hand was cramping after some of those days.
Didn't realize you were having issues Chris. I would look at a Rekluse.

Thanks Chuck, I appreciate it. Just trying my best.

Like I said, just trying my best. Just like you. That's all we can do.

I wonder what riding a BWM would be like... Said no one ever!
People say it all the time Chris. And remember, I steered you towards the Street Glide. Soon I will lure you to the darkside!

Best of success there Bob, sounds like you have some boots on the ground at Company B. Good assets to have.
My recent venture did not evolve into an interview, no surprise to me. It was about 20 degrees off my specific skill set, and I'm 62.
Hard to know which factor was more influencing, in a rural area where the experienced/ leaning toward professional labor pool can be tight. Onward and Forward.
Thanks Stan. I appreciate the positive words. We'll see how it goes. I would be a good fit but my spider sense is telling me someone is working against me at this particular company. I have a few ideas. We'll see where it goes.
I'm sorry your endeavor didn't pan out. But that's the game we get to play in corporate America sadly. You'll find the right fit, of that I am certain.

The older BMWs are very agricultural. But it grows on you. And my RT is 600 lbs, or 300 lbs lighter than my Street Glide was. To me it's a lightweight. If we cross paths and I am riding it you are welcome to give it a try. Or the old one for that matter.
Alright - back to the garage with me. Gotta get the repaired fender on Sis's Heritage. It turned out very well.
I avoid the EAA as much as possible. They pissed off a lot of people with several sonic booms one day. They also do fake bombing runs with a lot of explosives that upset dogs and veterans. They had a record crowd this year.
As a vet, I had several very rough nights trying to sleep. The explosions were very disturbing this year and I only live a block from the airport.
The people of Oshkosh are starting to get tired of the whole thing. The EAA members used to come into town to shop, eat or have a drink. Now it's all provided for them on the grounds and the EAA gets a big cut. The bloom is off the rose.
