Datapoint: Recall parts ordered April 1st. They are in now. I dropped the bike off yesterday and I should get it back tomorrow. Point is, wait until the service guy says he has the parts in hand before surrendering your bike!!

A data point I recently moved and live 6 miles from "Willow motorsports" in Cheshire Ct. The guys there are very nice, so far. Last week I got some new Stradas mounted up and asked about the recall. His first response was "Bring the bike in and I'll take a look to see if you need the recall" I showed him my reg. with the VIN # and told him I definately was eligible. The book confirmed this and he said "I can get the parts in 6 days, so bring your bike in on the 31st" I worked hard to get my newly gutted pipe and regearing done over the weekend, arranged a ride and dropped the bike off. Today the dealer calls and says the parts are backordered and I am #77 on the list. Supposedly there are several hundred backordered, and his estimate is April 22nd to get parts. Now this isn't a huge deal for me, but I specifically asked him to make sure he would get the parts before I brought my bike in. (as usual the VFRD folks are more knowledgeable than the dealers). So it appears the parts are held up nationwide but should be coming in the next few weeks. So I am going to pick up my bike and ride it until it is convenient to drop it off and then go through the drop off pick up routine again. If it weren't for the resale value thing, I would just jump out the blue connector and buy the Radio shack 30 am fuse holder like I did on my '02!!!

IS that because you are a mad stunter? The stunt guys do it so they can cover up the PHUCKED up plastics and the bike doesn't look so bad when they bin it doing stunts. It screams "SQUID" to me, but I love to see VFRs in any kind of novel form. NIce. -

Martina- So many years in Brooklyn, I just pulled the velcroed on plate and chained it to a light pole with a Fuggehdabouddit chain. In four years, one stolen battery and two tickets. You do the math..... Well worth the hassle. I did read about the guy who had his 75 Norton Commando crushed by the santitation dept. though. cgroshart_at_comast.net. I was going to send you info on the STMC club.

I find that age and a bit of luggage (along with legit paperwork and no warrants) usually gets me a warning. There are a million squids on red bikes that frustrate the cops but when they see I am an upstanding guy with a clean record, I get to go home. Add to that, proper safety gear and the "commuter look" and you have a trifecta!! -
