If your swingarm has minor play, the computer fault code can help determine how severe it is and whether it needs adjusting, replacement or destruction. It also detects and analyzes LocTite colors.

What the heck is a CLEVIS?

The fault code readings will tell the technician if you have ever done anything to void your warranty...including sticking chewing gum under the edge of the side panel.

The clevis is show here by "A", and Al's left handed adjustable metric wrench is shown in "B". Do not attempt this adjustment by yourself because the proper procedure has been omitted in the Official shop manual.

Where I come from that is called a "pair".

Pretty darn nice pair too.

I am talking about that thing in her hand - small useless purse, i.e. clutch.

Thanks! I now have my cleavages, clutches, klutzes, clavicules, and clevises all sorted out.

Sorry - but a correction. They are not useless. You would be surprised the amount of useful things we can stuff into a clutch.

She's right...my ex used to carry a S&W Airlite .38 and a speedloader in hers. :shock:

Oh, lets sweeten the pot (sic), I will mail, free of charge, a "poor man's cruise control" e.g. Caterpillar part #8M4991 to the first person to identify her.

Sorry though.

Hints:

    She campaigned for John Kerry in 2004
    She has won 14 acting awards and been nominated for 22 more,
    and has won 4 golden globes
    Her older sister, Vanessa, is also an actress
I will reveal her name tomorrow night if no one gets it.
and was the lead lady in "Girl with a Pearl Earring" ... we all know who she is ... :D

Oh, I wish I can go to the bash ...
Unfortunately air freight of my bike will be way too expensive
and shipping it in a container will leave me without a bike for too long ... :(

Not to mention that I do not have US visa and my passport runs out in 6 months :?

Just a question:

Can you arrange an autographed picture of the above-mentioned lady instead? :D :twisted: :wink:
