Sorry for not getting back sooner. I was busy enjoying some riding, that included 500 miles on my 2 wheel '17 Road King, and another 200 or so on the TriGlide. Much of the mileage was in PGR missions honoring some recently deceased veterans. I then rode the TrGlide to lead the escort of a battle disabled Navy Seal to a ceremony honoring him and his family with a new SMART home from the Gary Sinise Foundation.

I was just wondering how the doofus, that didn't know what a torque wrench was for, nor that you shouldn't activate your brakes with the calipers off, was doing with overhauling his his brakes from uTube videos. So, I decided to look him up,on this thread. Yup...what a doofus.

TG, I gotta hunch that we are gonna hear more tales of woe from this fella. Although he manned up in the end , I think he may have bought into the "buy a Harley. ..be a badass" myth that's so prevalent these days!
