Well, yesterday's ride started off great. Then...

Not entirely sure yet, but my guess is that the alternator stopped alternating.

No kidding. Especially as it was in the low 60s here, in January!!! Well, at least we had gotten about a hundred miles into the ride.

Crap!
Is there an aftermarket 'upgrade'[more power] for it as is for the regulator/rectifier?

A sad sight to see for sure.
Looks just like my bike when Brandon left the parking lights on when we stopped up at Dillingham.
Chances are it's the regulator / rectifier. That sort of thing.
Are you going to have Donnie's guys look at it or have you found someone else?

BTW....... I have most of the computer virus thing sorted out. I think. So far things are working pretty good with just a few hiccups here & there.

I'm a long, long way from Super Geeks or a Panigale.

Dropped off the bike w/ Eddie @ SSC to adjust the valves and replace the belts for the 7500 service. Eddie had a little time, so we chatted for a bit...he was informative with great customer service. I already can't wait to get her back...

Sooo...a good news story after a long day at work! I called SSC for the invoice total, only to find out they did the full 7500 service to include flushing/changing the fluids, which I originally planned to do on my own. When I picked up the bike, Shawn and Stephanie not only noted the discrepancy/miscommunication, but were kind enough to fix it subtracting $350 from the invoice w/out me asking!!! Shawn, Stephanie, Christian, previously Will and now Eddie are always helpful and make time for their customers - it's truly an enjoyable experience every time I visit the shop.
Sorry for my rant, but this was a completely unexpected positive surprise after a long and crappy day!

Took a short ride this morning and stopped off at SSD to say hi. While there Arlon asked me how my "new" tank was doing and I told him that it's showing signs of swelling, he took a look and said he would order another one, my 4th.
I mentioned to him about the possiblility of having the tank coated and he said he would release the new tank to me for coating if I wanted to do that...he mentioned that Cosmic Airbrush might be able to do it.
Any thoughts or comments?
