Haha, I'll keep that in mind...
Seems like the cassette player doesnt work in the bike. I might have a spare one, but wonder if it will fit? Does any one have the dimensions for what kind of player you can put in a Vetter fairing? Couldnt find anything online...

Re: Coast to coast in the U.S.
Well I clicked on the psycho link but was not able to assertain where you are in this Musicapoluza.
What is the name of the band you are guesting with and if possible what is your name?
Perhaps a pic of you and your sitar. I pretend to play mandolin, I have three and one was custom made for me. That all sounds nice but really I am just a beginner. I hope you have fun at the festival and with your ride.

A night out in Brooklyn and you lived to tell about it... So much for Hollywood, TV, and movies. Welcome to the States and thanks for keeping us posted.

Re: Coast to coast in the U.S.
Haha, thank you! Such nice people here! Amandas friends are great all of them. And other new aquaintences are Mitch Chillada, Point Six Gooze something and some more stuff I dont remember...
Neutral light works too!
Forgot to check the tape player in the excitment.
Today were off to change the front tire, bleed the brake, and then just maybe get on the road! Its crazy humid and hot here, so going north seems more and more appealing! Maybe into Canada a bit... Stay tuned!

Re: Coast to coast in the U.S.
I fear you will have to go way far North to escape this heat. Seems like the entire country is battling it right now.

Re: Coast to coast in the U.S.
Shit! New tire on, brakes bled, but it seems front master cylinder is bad... No real surprise.. I was wondering why the PO didnt just bleed it..had to be something fishy... Now its the afternoon hunting!

Re: Coast to coast in the U.S.
What a great adventure!! Even if you and your pillion end up throwing rocks at each other in the middle of the desert, this will be an experience you'll remember for the rest of your life and probably wouldn't trade for any other. Good on you for jumping on it when you got the chance!

Re: Coast to coast in the U.S.
Ok! Almost overheated the bike before i found a stupid manual switch for the fan....
Then we managed to find a old kawasaki master cylinder.. And soon after brake was sticking. A hammer freed them up and since then they have been fine. Lets hope it stays that way!
Now front wheel bearing change and we might just be rolling tomorrow!
