Sounds good. Thank you, Agent Bob. If it holds til payday, that will be good.

I keep running over these huge pecans or chestnuts or buckeyes or something on the ground here, so at first I thought a clump of that junk must have gotten caught up under the fender because I saw some on the front tire. Cleaned the tire, took off the fender. I don't see anything. I checked to see if the tire left marks on the fender from rubbing against it. Nothing. The tire doesn't seem to have any marks. At first I only noticed it when riding slow or coming to a stop, now I hear all the time and it's driving me crazy. No wobbling tire, just noise, and maybe the slightest vibration.

But I keep hearing this noise every time the front tire rotates and hits a certain point. I wouldn't think anything would be loose just coming from the dealer, but ya never know I guess. Everything seems tight, though.

Would the front brake be making a noise if it got something in it? It's repetitive, like when you have a card (or something) stuck in your bicycle spokes. Any idea what I should look at to try and figure it out?

EDIT ADDED: PROBLEM SOLVED - 67 days later - for solution see this thread here about halfway down the page:

Allright! That's music to my ears! Thanks, wordslinger. I'm glad I went with the Agility. I think I'll service it as if I had just bought it new even though it already had 343 miles (552 km) on it. I still have the chance to break it in right. Lemme know if you find anything interesting about those other numbers.

Check out all them decals! Looking sharp, glopezz!!!

Here's my problem, if you can see it. The holes on the plate are much farther apart than the holes they are supposed to line up with. 

I have doubts that one screw on the top left will hold it in place for long. Any ideas???

lol, art. 2 funny. Hey, I see what you mean now, though. I went down to the police station today to get my plate. (They made me wait ALL *&%# DAY!) Them drivers are crazy! LOL. A few more mph for when you need it really wouldn't hurt. In the morning it wasn't too bad, except for the bus driver who tried to squeeze into my lane and then rode my ass and pissed me off until I pulled over to the side of the road a couple blocks early. Oops, sorry, I mean he really ticked me off. You know they were taught better than that. It was okay, though, cuz you know I had to get off and push the scoot up that last hill on the sidewalk so they didn't see me driving up. hehehee

The afternoon was a bit hairier. Heavier faster moving traffic, stoplight on an upward hill (I had to use the coasting trick on that one and I got lucky - this time,) Cobblestone patches in the middle of intersections, but not all along the road in downtown (who thought up that bright idea,) Construction ON the bridge all the way across, those weird metal zig zag plate thingies every few feet on the bridge, humongous never-ending hill with a line of cars behind me from where we were stopped at a light and wind that I did not expect. Why did I think the wind wouldn't try to push me around on the road a bit? And a big white truck right on my behind. I cut off and took some back roads when I got close to home. Then some SUV lady tried to turn into my lane on a side street, not even looking where she was going. I was tired and ready to get home.

I can see that if I want to venture out past my neighborhood often I will have to get good at this quick and stay alert. And yes, some additional speed couldn't hurt. But I made it there and back safely and I'm legal. Oh yeah, and I stopped at the store again on the way home just so I could say I reached my goal and made it up that hill and to the store before I ran out of toilet paper. That double roll 4-pack fits nicely in the underseat box. 

Thanks, juice!

Wow, that's cool, oswaldters. I didn't know they would ship them like that. I don't know how the dealer handles tires. Probably need an appointment for everything. But a couple of the local tire shops will just change out the tires on your car while you wait, without an appointment. Could have them done in like 15 or 20 minutes, anytime you had the time to ride over there, if your old tires were still usable enough to get you there. That would be nice.
