You could pick up some bean-bag chairs and set them on either side of the
bike at night :)

Well, after two major quakes (7.1 6.3), we’re always expecting one now.
We had a 5.1 jolt last night which was a biggy.
Ya know... If you park them close enough and they fall on each other, then
at least one bike won't fall very far. That's good right?

Well you can put $1500 into the bike for purchase and repairs, or spend a
lot more money and get something with four wheels that gets worse mileage.
None of the things you mentioned are really that severe. The paint, seat,
and tank are really cosmetic damage and you could wait to fix them until

I'll chime in on this one.
One of the main things that KN and [presumably] Amsoil is the *way* they
filter the air.* While it might seem counter-productive, the holes that
allow air to pass through the element are actually *larger* than the holes
in cheap paper air filters. Because the element is

Hmm... Can you send pictures of the rack? You will most likely have to
remove the two side covers, the seat, and possibly the rear plastic to get
at all the bolt locations.
The side covers should just pull off (carefully), and the seat is two bolts,

The wife and I are going to Erin, WI in the A.M. for St. Patty's day... Going
to take the vehicle with 4 wheels, though...

pretty cool. If I was 14 and got to take a trip like that I would think it was
