    Check the dates. Last April I rode with little brother on our Hardleys. This April I spent in a nursing home learning to walk again.

      Man, talk about your zombie threads! 100mi in a sidecar is painful enough without pelvic surgery!! Prayers daily for you, Rob. Tougher than nails, but that's only what NY breeds, right?? Godspeed, brother.

      As for the compression test, yeah...compression gauges are a must have for any rider's toolbox. Just make it a quality analog device & you'll pass it on to your great great grandchildren ') Digitals need batteries, and they can give false reads if the battery goes weak. And who's to say the batteries will be available when your grandkids claim it from you lol?
