I also just got the TSB done. Its been about a week. At first there was a smoky burning odor coming from my exhaust shortly after the TSB, so I talked to the service manager and he said that it was normal and would be gone after 50 miles of driving...and sure enough after 50 miles of driving...

Nice choice, I have an 06 Limited Shadow Mica also! The color is just awesome!! Beautiful during the day, and mysterious during the night. I'm really starting to think I've fallen in love............

I totally agree biglatka :) , you said it

Thank you for your sympathies... I guess I won't worry about the technicalities of being "rear-ended". In terms of the damage, I doubt there is any hidden damage as the collision wasn't too hard. I'm hoping that the guy's front bumper absorbed some of the impact too. That along with the fact I...

Hey thanks for all your help! I filed the police report, although I couldn't give that many details. Going to contact insurance company tomorrow and see what they can do. In the meanwhile, how much money do you guys think the repair will take? I know they're just photos, but I'm hoping someone...

So I was approaching an intersection as the green turned to yellow. I probably could have made the light if I sped up, but I didn't feel like stepping on it, so I just slowed down. Then this dirty looking beer bellied guy in an old red F150 didn't realize the light change and must have not...

N8G and others, I agree that nature will find a "statis that is sustainable" and eventually equalize, but the problem with this statement is that this new "equilibrium" may not be so human-friendly. I also agree with your belief that man most likely won't go extinct, however rising sea-levels...

Hey everyone, I recently saw "An Inconvenient Truth", a movie/documentary about the realities of global warming. The movie is very educational, shocking, and surprisingly touching and I encourage everyone to watch it. Anyhow, the movie does reveal an "inconvenient truth"...basically summed up...

I really like the debadged look too... I'm just curious though, Are there any disadvantages of debadging? thanks

Nice rack:D Thinking about getting one soon...

Gosh I love this site! I post, take a nap, and then 2 hours later BAM...9 replies... :) You guys are great. Anyway... After reading your comments, I'm kind of leaning toward a hitch setup. I probably will ride alone most the time so I wont have the help of a friend to lift the bike. (I'm...

Thanks for the quick response sketch1! So I was thinking about a roof rack, but I just can't imagine myself lifting my bike that high everytime I want to go for a ride. What is your experience with this? I'm also not that tall. So that might be a problem.

Hey everyone, I'm in need of a simple and inexpensive way to transport my bike. I would just stick it in the trunk, but I don't want to dirty up the interior. What do you guys use to transport your bike? How much did it cost you? How easy was it to install? Thanks for all your help!

I have the same problem with my 06 4runner. After braking, I feel/hear a pretty big thud from underneath the vehicle. It is definitely noticeable and quite discomforting. I'm just wondering if the thud does any actual damage to the 4runner? It's unpleasant but I can live with it as long as it...

thanks jacal, Yes, the black definitely has a nice contrast and looks sharp. I think I've made up my mind...:D
