Thanks for the tip regarding the torque conversions. That sounds like a good thing to do while the ol'lady is watching Amer.Idol tonight.
I'll also keep searching eBay for a manual, but Im not too confident one will pop up anytime soon.
I may find that velvet Elvis/Hendrix poster Ive always wanted before a TBS Owners Manual

.
Regarding the TBS, it is an absolute blast to ride and much better than I had expected. Especially since I had never put a leg over one before, so I was taking a bit of a chance. Its a great sickle and I couldn't be happier with the new addition. I actually bought her from a member on this board (pbbeck) - excellent transaction I might add (Long Beach, CA to Atlanta, GA).
