I think Groban and Bocelli are among the greatest living voices; Pavarotti was the one I thought was best, though. I've heard a lot of music I thought would have been really good, if only the people doing the singing had a halfway decent voice... Best male voice I ever heard in person was a guy that just sang in church and weddings for the fun of it. Might have been even better than Bocelli.

Groban and Charlotte Church did "The Prayer" together at some big event several years ago, amazing pair of voices, especially since she was only 13 at the time.

Wonder if I'm having menopause, get cold, then get hot, body can't seem to make up it's mind. The chills are worst. Hopefully it'll run it's course in a few days.

The Tour Glide's transmission is still sitting there, waiting for me to dig into it. Kind of afraid to, could get expensive. Seemed to be working ok, but when I get this bike back on the road, don't wanna be worried about anything in it.

Watched Guardians of the Galaxy yesterday on dvd. Can't say I liked it much. Gonna be a sequel, but I won't bother with that. Only character in it I liked was the nasty raccoon.

Gears are the expensive part, if they are good your golden. Make sure the fork rod has some play, one of the most common problems we see is the set screw in the case that keeps the fork rod from sliding out of the case gets over tightened then the fork rod can't float freely and it binds, bends then the forks can't slide and they bind and bend and can't make a full shift so it rounds off the dog teeth on the gears. If yours is still shifting good your probably good. Maybe some new Baker billet forks as an upgrade/preventive maintenance and you'll be styling. They retail for $167 but there is this guy on the forums that gives posers killer discounts. Oh yea maybe a Baker shifter pawl too so the Harley spring don't break and go through the gearset.

Thanks for the info. The shifter pawl does sound like a good idea, have heard of those broken springs ruining guy's days.
