450i shifter lockout button, how do you lubricate the mechanism?  been getting blisters on my thumb when plowing

Regarding shirt pocket:
Have read EMS comments, "Cellphone can become a weapon to the heart if shattered when a cyclist is hit."

Regarding storing cellphone in or on the scooter:
Member here:
Thrown from his Yamaha Majesty at night, in a single vehicle accident (= no one around to help), had to drag himself back to his scooter where his cellphone was stored.
He lost a leg.

I wonder...in a single vehicle accident, (@25% of motorcycle accidents involve the bike and no other vehicle), no one around....where is that bar-mounted cellphone going to come to rest?
It's one thing to drag yourself back to your bike, but where did your bar-mounted cellphone come to rest?
Can't see anyone destroying a few motorbikes to give these mounts any real-life impact tests.

Neil - thanks for the prompt - I'll look into that.

I wear my SPOT GPS tracker on a lanyard around my neck, I suppose a freak accident could strangle me, nothing is 100% safe

My son is on a plane to Florida to be with his daughter & son in law, Easter at my daughter's in Maine will be somber.
Not the first time this type of tragedy has happened, 27 years ago, my grandson, ten years old, was mowed down by a drunk driver (8th offense)

great grandchildren and grandchildren are not suppose to go before you do

Will you be experiencing the eclipse next month?

We live in an area in Ohio which is fully within the path of the eclipse next month.
Local employers are scheduling leave for the employees; cities and especially the smaller villages have developed plans for dealing with traffic; parking lots are being created; portable toilets are on order; food trucks are scheduled, etc.

We have been advised to secure cash for purchases well in advance of the day, petrol tanks should be topped, food and water laid in, etc., etc.

The thinking is that this area will experience a large influx of visitors for the eclipse. No one knows how big the crowds will be, but officials are taking precautions so as not be caught wrong-footed for the event.
I can't blame them for being cautious...the way large portions of Americans go scalp hunting these days on Monday mornings!

I'll decide later if I'll sit in the back yard, or the front.

I have parking spaces for 6 cars. Bidding closes at 11AM. Cash only!
$35 for ltd. ed. Lunar Bobble-Head and pass for on-site Porta-Potty, limit 3 per family. (incl. P-P use!)
Bottled water $8.
Pet my dog, $7. If she was napping, $12
Look at my scooters, $15.
No lawn chair rentals, but I have some nice ones for sale.
Cash only!

Reservations advised. If it clouds up - no refunds, but we have a 909 pay-line to a guy in Cleveland. He can describe the wonder of it!

I found this site to have useful info....
https://www.nationaleclipse.com/

was thinking of visiting my brother in VT, he lives in the 100% path, but unfortunately, I have a doctor apt. so I will view 98% from her parking lot a few minutes before my apt. I'll have my surveying instrument w 32x scope & sun filter

my closest wildlife encounter was with a moose, no contact, but I swear I coulda reached out and touched it

Was just looking online at my local full line motorcycle (and Kymco) dealer. They have had 2 2023 silver scoots for a while. Both are listed on the website for a sale price of $8799 compared to list of $10,399. No idea about all the ‘add on’ fees, but found it interesting to see large discounts on anything with 2 wheels!

Located in Iowa City, IA

sounds right, trying to move inventory, they are leftover models, I got my '22 for $800 less

Actually I think Kymco made a genius decision to partner with Harley Davidson in their joint project called LiveWire and that alone will get Kymcos name out there while selling new electric cycles alongside H.D.
Even if it doesnt make a *huge* wave it should be enough to turn some heads in the Western world and get more butts on seats!

article is 3 years old and this is first I have heard..... if they really wanted to market, I'd have heard of it long before 2024

50° is the awkward temp, at 30mph, the wind chill is down to freezing, on a bigger bike, that goes faster, down to the mid 20s

once is gets to the 40s easier to make the decision to use a heated liner rather than an extra layer
