Okay, Sunday 6PM I notice coolant dripping. After I try to tighten the radiator fitting it starts to leak more so I decide repairs are better done at home, so as I put a wrench on the return hose fitting on the radiator IT BROKE OFF <img src="graemlins/cussing.gif" border="0" alt="[grrrrrrr]" /> coolant runs all over. Ever try to find a metric fitting at 7PM on Sunday? <img src="graemlins/crying.gif" border="0" alt="[crying]" />

Lesson learned: when replacing hoses (I just did all) replace an inexpensive plastic fitting.

I feel much better now, post vent. <img src="graemlins/soapbox.gif" border="0" alt="[soapbox]" />

The 40 degree motorcycle ride at 6AM should be invigorating. <img src="graemlins/burnout.gif" border="0" alt="[burnout]" />

Made a ride home from work one night at 10 degrees and snow on my crotch rocket. I took the bus the rest of the week.

Bundle up! Hope you get the fitting ASAP. Good luck!

I just rode my friends GSXR-750 tonight...it was a nice break from the routine, slow bike. It's about 44 here now.

I grew up in Illinois and got caught on a holiday coming home from my sisters 50 miles from home. Beautiful warm day/too young to check the weather/cold front blew in, wound up dodging snowflakes, high winds and rapidly dropping temps. all the way home.

Seems like the older you get the less you want to put up with.
