Default Well, that was interesting...

I took my bike to the dealer to have him check out the annoying squeek I have been experiencing. I explained that I don't hear it when I am riding solo but 2 up it is pretty noticable. He is ojn the bike bouncing the forks and trying to get a feel for what is wrong. He asks if it would make the noise with just him riding it. I doubt it since I am bigger than he is. So he says "OK, get on." He is driving and I am riding "girl dog". I have never riden as a passenger before. I at first really didn't like it but I could see how someone could enjoy watching the scenery without having to wqorry about driving.
BTW- it seems the noise is "belt chirp"? He adjusted my suspension (no charge) and sent me on my way.

You just do not look like a guy that would ride back there to me!Your knees must have been up to your shoulders!But your right,its great to just sit back once in a while and watch the scenery all the time instead of quick glances!&nbsp\\; I guess we can't call ya Squeeky anymore!

Hey H, love that silver and white deluxe of yours.&nbsp\\; Yours or the wife's?&nbsp\\; Next to my "skunk" (vivid black and white), the silver and white is my next favorite color scheme.&nbsp\\; Very sharp.&nbsp\\;

GaGal, It's mine......but she's already trying to lay claim to it.
&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;
The plan WAS to trade her Sporty next Spring for a Heritage.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; Now she has decided (after riding mine) that she's going to confiscate my Deluxe next Spring and I can trade her Sporty in on "whatever I want" as she so eloquently put it.
&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;
Of course, being the kind, polite, caring hubby that I am, she'll probably get her way.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; You girls ALWAYS win in the end........
&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;
Funny you say that about your Black/White combo.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; That's what I was looking for when I settled on the combo I have.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; I think the Bl/Wh looks more "Old School".
