we'll just have to grit it out!

It is a three day ride and I'm with Bucho - I think you can pick/choose which days you ride. Bucho and I have a hotel room for the three days (going up late Thur). Bring an air mattress and sleeping bag, you can have the floor.

What bike are you taking to the PB500? I'll bring brand specific duct tape

were they long enough or did you have to get a "tall"?

My cradle was over a year old. I bought a new one and pumped every orfice full of dielectric grease. I also coated the connector pins in grease. Hopefully that will last a bit longer.

To Al - :cheers: - I have it working. Seems that someone glued the switch back on and the brake handle didn't quite fully depress the switch any more. I put a small piece of adhesive backed cork on the handle to depress the switch more and :thumbup: it works! Not sure how long but hopefully long eno...

Seems the front brake switch is bad/stuck/dead and the harness/switch is $62!

The KTM has developed a problem. The brake light is stuck in the on position. I'm hoping it is something as simple as a stuck switch. I guess it is time to rip off the tank, grab my ohm-meter and start testing. I have to keep her street legal until after the PB500 in Oct.

they were offering rides but in a blah looking BMW w/ hack.

Here's a few pics of the most interesting hacks at Bob's today. Not many there to drool over. They had some R1200GS bikes out to demo but I drove the car over and was in shorts... ... so no test rides for Ken.
