Sounds interesting Russ.
Do not pass GO, head direct to the free open bar, where over time you will undoubtably win friends and influence people! Just kidding, have fun...

Audrey, look quick before the curve, I'm catching up to Greg!

You'd pass Mick ... That is a prerequisite for a School Bus CDL

Back from KUBbing in 86° weather. Very nice day but a tad windy this afternoon.

Something I learned today was that when you replace your battery, there is a chance that the TBW loses track of where its beginning position is leading to a high idle. Turn the run switch to “ON” wait about 10-15 seconds, do not start, then to “OFF”. Repeat 4 times.

Was that sequence in your owner manual, service manual or another source, Russ? Are CVO manuals leather bound?

Believe it or not, I used an Internet search engine. The leather bound, gilded edge, CVO manual still remains in its plastic wrapper to aid in value retention.

So .... the "CVO Temple" where all the sacred writings are kept is a myth ?

I wonder how many people have taken their bike in with a high idle and paid handsomely for the fix?

Good afternoon all. I have decided to put all my hopes and dreams into the mega millions drawing Friday night. Probably the same odds as all my other hopes and dreams.

No it exists. There are secret handshakes, robes and even smoking jackets that we wear for evening attire.
