Maybe they'll ticket him for riding without a helmet.   
Saw a teaser on this for the 11pm news.

There's more info at http://www.innovativebalancing.com/

 I just ordered some for my bike.  Have a front end wobble that responds somewhat to higher air pressure.  Had both tires rebalanced but that didn't do the trick.   There's been quite a bit of discussion over at the chain gang:  http://f650.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php...

Tweety,  Since you don't have time to properly break her in......I'd be happy to spend my weekend doing so for you.   A bike like that needs to be ridin.....no excuses.

08/07/07 - "Routine" service at dealership

Hi all,
Question/Suggestion
I recently had a 6K service on my bike.   I got a receipt back that basically said "yeah we did the service".   I guess I was expecting more.  Since there is a check sheet of what maintanence is supposed to be done at different intervals, shouldn't the dealer give me a check sheet back that says "yeah we did that, everything was normal"?  Or how bout back tire 50% wear,   front tire 30% wear.Front brake 60% wear, back brake 10%,My car ...

Vibration or Wobble...whatever it is is MUCH improved with higher air pressure in the tires.   One of the guys on F650.com says to run like 38/36 (rear/front).   This calmed my bike way down.....much more pleasureable to ride and almost ready for it's 6K service after only 4.5 months!
