With both the Interceptor and the SV1000 discontinued, the options have narrowed a little to the Suzuki 'busa, Kawasaki for the ZX-10, the Triumph Sprint ST. I'd like to see an '08 FZ1 with the lower kit as well.

Just imagine what this could do for long term data storage. A memristor storage in every system which is far more compact and efficient than flash memory.

Well they've already lost my business from the "bait-and-switch" they tried to pull. They plead incompetence however I don't tolerate either from a retailer.

"...and the clip disappeared". And the chain didn't come apart ?

I'll try ye good ol' hammer tomorrow. It was too dark for me to be swingin' it around tonight.

On a side note, the bike shop told that the master link has to match the brand and model of the chain. Does that sound right ? I thought "530 is 530 so ..."

What's a "press-fit side plate" ?

Just looking around for a riveter and found something by MotionPro that says for "press-fit side plates". Does that mean these don't have to be peened over ?

I guess you're right. I was just reading al of those articles that say it's the best all around bike and such. I really liked the look of the SV1000S however they've completely discontinued it globally. I was thinking they might upgrade the DV650 to a SV750 however that didn't happen. The RC51's bee...

I'm kind of in the same boat Stan however I won't have a verdict on my work status until july. At that time I'm hoping to switch to working from home. If that doesn't happen then I'm probably going to buy a Honda Interceptor (what's that Tim ? ) as I really want something with a warranty that I don'...

One thing I should have mentioned. The voltage on that memory is 2.1 ~ 2.2v. Won't work well at 1.8 ~ 1.9v. Don't ask me how I know. :poke
