In any moment of decision the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing.

It has been a good one. I got to have a nice steak dinner with my family, and my son Chris treated! Wow... I must be getting old... he finally treated... Lol...
Gf bought me a Belgian strawberry cheesecake...8" thick! OMG! Was it the real deal!
Oh... Scott, I just had 2 new Michelin PR4GT's mounted and balanced yesterday, and ready to put the wheels back on Connie in the morning before work.
Got the oil changed, FD oil changed, new air filter...
I've spent the past 3 days getting the bike cleaned back up from all the grit and grime she took on from last weeks Zion trip. Colorado was rough on her! (And me! )
I barely got home on my tires!
Thanks again, guys!
It's always great when your family remembers your birthday, and I appreciate the kind words...
Oh, hey Marty... Did it seem like I needed a walker last fall in the twisties??
I thought I was just being respectful of an elder...?
Guess next time, I'll just have to shift out of first gear and pass ya.
Ya know, Connie's got 5 more...
Lol...
Brant; Always, my friend! Always! Thanks, buddy.

Hey, Joe!
Thanks!
I thought for a little bit I might have to ride your way for parts, until Russ said he had one he could overnight us!
Thanks again for offering to help us out.
Looking at my Concours's FD spline setup last night, if I ever strip mine out, it looks like I'd have to replace my entire rear wheel!
Mine is machined into the wheel, doesn't bolt in like the XS/XJ.
I never imagined it was even possible to strip out those hub splines.
But, true to Murphy's law, it picked the worst place and time to go when it went.
I was just glad it was a quick fix and easily replaceable part.
