I always liked Letterman and Leno but was never crazy about Conan. I have seen Conan as Tonight Show host and I think he has gotten better. I've recently been watching Craig Ferguson and i'm liking him.

Jay got screwed with Conan taking over. I hope the 10pm spot works out for him.

I learned that removing all 6 carbs from a 1999 Honda Valkyrie is somewhat of a B1tch! Putting them back is going to be worse! ARRRRGGGGGG!

I found a 1999 Valkyrie Interstate with 17300 miles that sat in the garage for 2+ years with stale fuel in the tank. She is pretty gunked up, but the rest of the bike is in great shape. Needs a complete carb disassembly and cleaning. Purchased it right. Might fix it and make a couple of grand or might like it and get rid of my 06 Yamaha Roadliner. Hell, maybe I'll keep them both!

I learned that getting an oil change and tire rotation at the dealer requires getting some sort of grease or dirt on two different spots on the upper door panel on the PASSENGER side.

I learned a "limited lifetime warranty" ain't worth squat unless you have the original sales receipt from 1993...
