Well, I just answer the questions thrown at me. I know about the grip adhesives because I ride dirt bikes and ATV's, and there grips sometimes come loose before they self-destruct (what with river crossings and deep gumbo mud.) Louis Brandon wrote: > > Speaking about removing them, we've all be

Ok, now I'm curious. I live in Utah for the time being, and other than Alan P. and my friend Scott, I haven't seen too many GTS's. Would that happen to be a '94? And/or did the guy work for, or was any way, affiliated with Plaza Cycle? If so, I may know a little of the history of the bike. ---

Thanks Roberto-- I live down 2 miles of gravel road, so I was thinking that might be aggravating the squeak. Not much to do about it, except rent a garage in town. :( BTW, I have a story about syringes, bikes, and Spain. I'll have to share it with the list sometime. adam Roberto Alonso wrote

Hi, Good question. Modulator has something to do with a flashing headlight I guess. I don't understand that "fwiw" and "jftr" either. I also wonder how to write "tyre" or is it "tire" ? John, with three "tires" on his GTS. Roberto Alonso wrote: > Henry sez: > > > students said they could see m
