And walmarts main policy is: "If we don't have it, you don't need it!" That made me laugh. Thanks. I worked there doing assembly but did help customers from time to time. Mostly telling them where they could find an item locally. One lady asked why I knew so much about the other stores and she and her friends busted up laughing when I told her "Because I don't shop here".
Napa Auto Parts stores also had that as a motto up on the wall. I loved to point that out when they "don't carry that".

The 750 is running! I'm putting new brakes front and rear on it Thursday since I have the day off. Everything else is good and I'll be out riding!

New brakes mean a chance to dump the nasty fluid too. Being carefull not to damage the caliper seals when compressing piston. They do get rotten. Had to wait 8 days from the closest yamaha stealer to get the ones for the rear majesty caliper, and honda more than likely is a stock item.

When I was pricing tires, I called the stealer up and asked how much. They told me it would be just over $450 for the Dunlops. I asked about Pirellis and they added another $200 to it. They did tell me though that if I buy them there they will mount and balance them for free.... I can get Pirellis online for about $250 with shipping. But I have to put them on myself. And I can get them from my friend's bike shop for $375 installed. Stealer is not the word.  (Finally ordered them myself) As a side note.... The stealer is hiring so I applied for a job. LOL They are looking for a parts counterman. LOL I figure I can do it as well as the next guy and I at least care about the customer. I wonder what the employee discount is....  |

Now's when you will wish you were in AR. If the bike is over 25 years you generally do not even need the title, just a bill of sale with numbers clearly written. Probably cost in the area of $15 total! Don't remember which I used on registering my riva, bill of sale or title, I should look and see which I have left as they take one or the other,

I thought about registering it in Texas and then transferring it here. It would cost me about $150 that way. But I don't have my Texas lic anymore.
