    It's true - I downloaded those about four years ago. Only thing is, they're kinda hard to read and lack some of the info that the national geographic maps have.

    But they're worth every penny! :thumb

    Push an old pin out and see how it is worn. This is after 30k miles.

    Yeah. On this bike at least. Haha.
    The pins looked fine when I pushed out the one to break the chain. And yeah, its got that white "fresh chain" lube on it. Haha.

    I thought the one you got excited about (with the creamy white lube) was the new one.

    But no stretch and the pins didn't appear worn? All it really needed then was that link with the broken rubber ring extracted and replaced by a master link.

    You'd think with all those miles you're racking up that you'd be learning to ride more aggresively by now. But don't push it too much lest you end up in a ditch somewhere.

    On my XRL, the chain was toast after about 5k miles. Broke-apart toast.

    Not I, but I could offer you a superior backroad alternative. Who are you going to see (without the fam)?

    How many miles? On my Wee the adjusters were maxed out and it was just under the maximum stretch when measured.

    Thanks for reminding me! :D

    Yes, sold it to a guy a few hours ago. Right about the time I listed my DL, everybody and their brother listed theirs. I wasn't too sure it would sell easily from now thru March. That would have been OK too...but this is better!

    One of the (many) reasons I haven't made it to BWDR...yet. :cry

    The new owner seems like a pretty cool guy. Lives in Arlington. I told him to log onto ADV. He'd fit right in. I hope to see him post!
