That is when having a naked bike comes in handy.<br /><br />I find the problem with GPS and google maps is that they show a very small part of the entire picture. Sure, you can zoom out and in but then you lose all context of the picture and certain roads appear and disappear. Plus, I lose all sense of direction and compass points no longer have any meaning.<br /><br /> - Dave at <a href="%E2%80%9Dwww.motorcycleaddiction.ca%E2%80%9D" rel="nofollow">Motorcycle Addiction</a>Ottawa Riderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15167123313900081084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35229604.post-49884002359342475762013-10-26T06:50:23.239+13:002013-10-26T06:50:23.239+13:00Yep, wind sucks alright.

The only tool that I could get to fit in there was the plug wrench from the bikes tool kit. An inch more room would have been nice.Erik Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08051303728879129181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35229604.post-8107458625247467622013-10-26T05:09:22.950+13:002013-10-26T05:09:22.950+13:00Andrew:

Removing plastic panels is not easy unless you know where those tabs are. I don't think any manufacturer makes it easy to service anything<br /><br />Glad you survived the Wind. Lucky it wasn't raining too<br /><br />bob<br /><a href="http://www.wetcoastscootin.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Riding the Wet Coast</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05258612401956399482noreply@blogger.com
