Yea, I could not remember if that was your's or mine....they all look
alike!

 If it is binding, I'm not sure what the best solution is. A quick
and dirty approach might be to file a little off of the shift lever >

A little filing might do it. A tell tale nick on the case might
indicate the point contact..... at least that's what they'd look for on
CSI Miami.

 Seriously, though. Are you still getting some riding in up there?
Or have they pre-salted the roads already in anticipation of the
coming winter?

Cold and dark at 5:00pm. Exercised them both yesterday. I'll start
swapping bikes for snowmobiles this weekend.

Later,
