Dropped a penny in my case. Down the "hell hole"

But the other side of that coin (pun) I can't imagine ever drawing an easy breath while on a the highway knowing that thing was in there. We also have some of the best twisty roads in America right here in NW Arkansas. I was worried about riding twistys and working that thing loose. Login or Register to Remove Ads |

I brought it in and sat it up on the fireplace mantle. Now there's a perfect little oily spot. I can only imagine the heck I'm going to catch when she sees it and realizes what caused it. :) |

I'm almost glad all of this happened.
#1 I learned a lot about my bike. #2 I got to buy several new tools! #3 The bike was "serviced" at the local dealer about a thousand miles ago. There is no way the oil I drained out of it today was new a thousand miles ago. It was black as tar and almost as thick. I really appriciaye all the help you guys gave me. I now have a new clutch spring, a fresh oil change, a cool new torque wrench and impact gun, and I'm confident the bike is ready to roll! |

I like getting new tools . All I need now is somebody who knows how to work with them. I have a torque wrench that for the life of me I cannot figure out how to get it started. :-/

The fact you git it out is very very good news! Even though you believe it would never move - Murphy lives everywhere! Now you can sleep at night and know nothing is out of place inside your motor! Happy riding!

Hopefully you did not blab to your wife about your good fortune. You could sell the bike and get a new one with her blessings.

Been following your story. Glad you got it out. Now just remember to keep coins in your pocket.

The Can Ams have been tickling her fancy lately. She wants to go test ride one and maybe get one next season. We shall see. ;) |

Glad you were able to get the penny out. Can Ams are nice even though they do look weird. Go for it.

Yesterday a Can Am rally pulled into MV, they were all over the town. Pretty neat machines overall.
