ST rad sprung a small leak.  Anyone have any shops in Minneapolis area that'll fix aluminum rads and do decent work?

Thanks.

Dale - not sure if this will fit the bill for you (or if you're still looking) -

I've got a size 12 set (Euro 47)  of these that are just a smidge too big that I"ll be selling.  Wore them about 5 times.  Very sturdy boot, very adjustable with zipper and full sized velcro tab.  Solid sole, comfortable for walking.  I'll be buying another pair, just one size smaller.

Zipper decided to let go on one boot.  Anyone have any experience with boot repair in the Cities?  Tom the Tailor??

Thanks.

I seem to recall that someone on the  board works for (used to work for?) Polaris.  Friend of mine has applied for a job, but would like to get some HR contacts if possible.

Anyone??  Bueller??

Doesn't even have to be a get-off where the gloves can save your hands.  Had a dump truck in front of me a while ago, about 45mph, on 212.  "something" bounced off of the truck, hit the ground once, banged into my fairing and then my middle and ring finger, conveniently placed on my brake lever for maximum impact and squishability.  Whacked them hard, made me yank my hand off the bar and flap vigorously for a while while extending my vocabulary at the same time.  Got to work about a half hour later, pulled the gloves off and had 2 black fingernails and blood running from my fingers.  The rock (concrete, whatever) hit my fairing hard enough to put a 3 inch gash right through it.  Don't really want to know how much damage it COULD have dont to my lifestyle-via-computer-career supporting fingers had the gloves not been there to deflect/absorb the impact...   

Hot or not, the gloves go on.  Makes you wonder if maybe they've never tried on gloves that fit well?  Proper fit in gloves is the same as with helmets - every pair seems to fit differently, and lousy fit feels, well, lousy, just like a bad lid.  I've got one pair of "shorty" gloves that I used to like because they're cooler (temp-wise), but on a trip to Colorado they started to load up with sweat and eventually rolled up in the palm enough that I switched to my heavier, thicker Helds.  The Helds, for whatever reason, kept my hands dry, did NOT roll up in the palm, and were way more comfortable over long stsretches.  Haven't worn the shorties since.

 

Tony!!  Prayers for a full recovery.  We haven't done LUNCH yet!!!!
