    Thumbs up TFOG - Jim and his company RAWKS!!!!

    Hey, These Guys are the Best in Town!!!!! Seriously!!!! I broke what could not be broken!!! I was about to throw it into a lake and hope some watery tart would fix it.

    It all started when I was on the R1 Forum and they said -- "That Graves Clutch install is easy!!!!" that's if you are Yamaha Certified Mechanic from Japan!!!!

    So in my infinite wisdom - I thought I would take a crack at it. This is what I ended up with:


    So I thought about it for a while(self reflecting) -- what was I doing wrong???


    Soon as I opened the Clutch cover - I knew these people would be outside of my house:


    I called Jim (TFOG) and gave him my life story (blah blah blah - clutch cover - clutch cable/arm - blah blah blah) :


    Jim calmed me down and talked me out of doing this:


    He was really cool about the horribly/stupid stuff I did to it and said "bring it on up!!!" I was shocked

    He didn't laugh at me!!!


    After a couple of days I got a called saying it was done!!!!



    He told me the problem - and he gave me a great price!!! He didn't hold me at gun point like some of these Stealerships would do:


    I am so happy:

    My bike will look like this again:


    Hopefully I will be able to do some "track days" this Summer:

    even if I am forced to be an unmbrella girl

    I am so happy - with the money I saved- I might want to go get a Tattoo or something:


    Jim (TFOG) - YOU RAWK!!!!

    Oh.... pretty much the same. Just tryin' not to take the day-to-day too seriously, and loving, hugging, and squeezing to pieces, my new lil' guy at home.

    That said, I was actually talkin' about John though.

    But, on topic. Jim is the man, even if he is a real dick.

    Fixes everything, hooks the bro deal, straight up guy, you're a fool if you take your bike anywhere else.

    Well, I got my baby home. Thanks Jim for helping me get the Bike in the wheel chock. My Inspirational Speeches weren't coaxing the Bike to jump into the chock (it wasn't going into the chock like the ball that doesn't want to go home!!!). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFIr9...eature=related

    So after I got it home, I fired it up and that clutch is as smooth as Butter - WOW!!! Thanks Jim!!! it is working awesome!!!!
