Side cover broken "tab"

For lack of the correct term, one of the "tabs" on a side cover is broken off. This is of minor consequence; I forget about it except when I take the cover off. However, there must be an easy fix...

I know what you mean. Seeing my name sometimes feels odd---I like to browse anonymously until I decide to say something!

I ride all winter if it's not too cold and the roads are clear. (central Iowa) I stick to in-town, not-very-fast riding. It was 25ºF when I left on a couple of errands and almost took the car, then...

I know it will be easier. I'll never get near as fast as you describe. (I'm retired and this is my fun so no hurry.) I can't wait for my front tire to wear out!

Glad I'm not the only one who sees it that way. You have to admit it does look like an accidental bend, not a purposeful design!

So does that make this an unfair choice, or is it a good choice because you now have an excuse to go on a 5 hour ride?

As of now, I'm not sure I could get to snow in that little time.

OK.

A Pile of Snow.

Just for fun I'll see if I can get one too! Parts of our state (Iowa) have had some snow, but I don't think anyone has "piles" yet!

I'd appreciated it if some of you would verify that what appears to be a bend in the swing arm is normal. (I don't know why the picture downloaded upside down.)

Yup! I think of all the things I notice when on the bike that I wouldn't have noticed if cars were my only transportation mode; then I try to keep the attention up similarly in the car.
