    Question It's baaaaack!!!

    sheesh.

    Put on about 60 mi. a couple days ago; freeway+ speeds, some stop n go, leisurely 3rd gear...nothing. smooth as glass.

    This morning I went for a ride; 15 mins of parking lot turns ( practice, ya know) then about 15 mins of lazy 3rd/4th gear. I started to think, "Is this getting buzzy again or am I crazy?" Out on the freeway for 20 mins or so, 5th gear 70, 80, 90, (even a brief visit to 100 indicated) back and forth, and the buzz starts to feel more pronounced, and suddenly my feet are going numb again and I'm certain it's getting stronger.

    Pulled the clutch a moment at speed, and still feel it.
