ps ,how do you know when you have gall stones?

ive had kidney stones multiple times, the gall stones is ten time more pain. they did a ct scan, ultra sound and did the radiaion in the Iv thing. they tried to do the robot little hole thing but it was so packed the had to split me open and cut it out. also fixed a hernia i didnt know I had. 28 staples.good side is I went to the doctor today and ive lost 27lbs.

wow Ron, hope you get healed up fast and able to return to "normal" life w/o having pain all the time. I'm thinking my warranty done expired on my 59 yo body with all the aches and pains these last few years reminding me of how invincible I thought I used to be.

I got your 27 pounds when they put me on Pred last year. Please know it all went to a good home. ;-)

Get well, Ron. Being down sucks, I know.....

I installed this folding shift lever. I bent the stock one while riding last Saturday. It was usable but if I had a folding one, it wouldn't have bent. Took it for a ride tonight and I like it. It doesn't quite stick out as far, but I got used to it right away.

Gee thanks detours....one more thing just added to my Amazon Shopping list. ;-)

I saw a link somewhere on here for a folding shift lever off of Alibaba site. like 10 bucks.

pyoungbl · 08-04-2016, 09:51 AM

I bought one off Alibaba. It fit the splines perfectly but ended up being too short. For $10 it's not worth trying to send it back. Maybe someday I'll weld in an extension so I have a viable spare....maybe not.

detours · 08-04-2016, 09:58 AM

That's good to know, py. Thanks for the info!

The RX3 is now on the rack for another project (report coming soon) but while awaiting parts, I got around to installing my LED's that I've had on the shelf for a couple weeks.

I really like these. They're small, bullet shaped yet bright enough for my needs. I wired them into the "B" circuit. For some reason, sometimes when I get back from a ride I'll find the switch in "A" and I didn't want to accidentally flip them on. This happen to anyone else?

When my brother and I bought the bikes, the owner included the clamps, so I was already ahead of the game there. I think they turned out slick.

2LZ · 08-07-2016, 08:06 PM

I've always had a problem with the stark white fork guards sticking out front and it really stood out in the last pics I just posted. I thought I'd stripe them with some blue or something. Then Mrs 2LZ said "Paint 'em to match the fender. They'll disappear." I wasn't so sure...so I dipped them. I like!

Cleaned her up a bit.

Which after-market seat is that on your RX-3?
Is that a "tall" version?
I like the black-out effect!

I used those same lights, they work really well for how small they are.

I bled the front and rear brakes, replacing all fluid with DOT 4. Both reservoirs were low so it was time. Plus after the workout they got on the Webster Pass trail, I thought it would be a good idea.

Ron B · 08-22-2016, 07:25 AM

Rode it to work (first time in about a month since the surgery). first half was fine.....second half got to thinking I should have waited another week or so.
