Anyway, you could argue that being cheered up is not the same as not being hacked off?  |

| Re: What's cheered you up today? I went to my Honda dealer today after finding out some people were able to get new rings installed in there 2008's to fix the oil consumption issue.
So take the bike in next Tuesday to have them video tape the bike while running and watch for smoke coming out of the exhaust, hopefully will be able to get mine fixed. |

| Re: What's cheered you up today? I'm not complaining a whole lot mine uses a quart about every 2800 miles.
I have my complaints logged with my dealer 5 times and with a district rep for Honda, worst fear is to blow the engine but at least I know I'm covered. I have all my receipts from my oil changes and valve adjustment they just did.
Other than that love the bike Quote:

| Re: What's cheered you up today? Well I finish work (hopefully) in a couple of hours and have tomorrow off for a nice long weekend  . I'm spending it at the in-laws.... while this might not cheer many of us up, for me it means a weekend of biking in North Yorkshire  |

I must be pretty rare in that I actually look forward to visiting the in-laws! The father-in-law rides a 954, so I married well! |

| Re: What's cheered you up today? I cut across the white line getting onto the freeway this morning to bebop around a bus.
Then had a bike cop pull up to me in my lane while I was stopped and say "cutting that line is a $340.00 ticket, understand?" I said "yes sir sorry about that". Then he split lanes through traffic and was gone.
Point is no ticket = sweet |

The lid is in plain silver. The visor is pinlock ready as well. Yippee!
