USMA and 1HD, much appreciated. I did get it all re-assembled tonight but no chance to ride.

Believe it or not, that torx bolt is grade 8. I found it's pretty difficult to locate a grade 8 socket head bolt. Sears hardware, home depot (didn't really think they'd have it but tried), and a local industrial supply. Finally stopped at a NAPA auto parts and they ordered one for me. Picked it up a few hours later.

Hey George. Lots of reasons but mostly that my parents are getting older and don't travel as much. I wanted them to be able to spend as much time with my daughter as possible. A decision that was very hard to make as I'm just not a fan of the northeast anymore.

I'm not looking forward to Winter but at least I got a garage where I can store my bike and work on it without b!tchin and complaining about the fire ants biting me while I turn some wrenches. lol Working outside in the blistering heat, laying in the sand just wasn't my idea of 'fun times wrenching'.

I'll probably start spending my summers up in CT. My mom is getting up there in age as well, and her house needs a little TLC. I figure if I spend the summer up there I get to spend some time with her and get the house in shape. I don't think I can stand the winters anymore though....maybe for a month or so, but that's it. Hope you're doing well and best of luck to you and the family.
