As far as your repair explanation, thank you. You answered the questions I would have had had you not said what you did.
That's OK, I'm sure you were doing some real work.

Nope. I got off early and took the bike to the dealer and then to my buddies shop then came home and read my book a little and played some video games. I promise, I was not doing anything important or remotely related to work.

I was serious though. I had some driver issues with mine and I got couldn't access the Internet to install the drivers to fix my not getting on the Internet. So I had to download the drivers onto a drive and manually boot them in my PC to fox it. Now, it runs like a champ again. I also slightly over clocked the processor to get a little speed boost.

We haven't ridden this week yet. Weather has been **** in the mornings and she gets home from shuffle late. I just don't care and I'll ride in anything.
Thinking of going to a RG? BMW?

Russ, ride in anything. In. Not on. I have nothing against BMWs or Road Glides, but no thanks. I'm very happy with my bike. I meant the fog. Riding in the fog on wet roads doesn't phase me but TLT was nervous and didn't want to rode in that.

Got my brand new LRS 10” Recurve windshield today. Trying out LRS as they were half the price of Klockwerks and their windshield on the King was the bomb. First impression is that it definitely not as sexy as the Klock. We’ll see if it will kick the bugs up.
