Here is another good one.

This one has to be in here.

My daughter lives in London, the wife and I just got back from a Christmas visit. I have been to London a half a dozen times and the thing that amazes me is the number of motorcycles first of all. I have never seen so many motorcycles out in the rain and the cold. You guys are hard core. It...

I tried to put the filter back together with the shift actuator on and had a heck of a time with it. I finally gave in and took the lever off to get things back where they needed to be. An air filter shouldn't be that difficult to change.

Yes from mice, in the garage. The scary thing is, I remember having mice in the garage winter before last, but not last winter. This is the first time I've checked the air filter and the bike has 20k on it. Just posted this so others could see what is possible. The mice just stored the bird...

Hey, that looks just like mine, just got it the first of Mar.

Just bought a new 08 AE, and in the process of wiring gadgets. What is the prefered switched power source for genII bikes. On my 05 I used the taillight, if I remember right. Thanks, DCH

I have gone the last two years and just bought the general admission tickets. I am one who can't sit still for very long, and really won't spend much time at any one location. We walk around a lot and view the practice and qualifying from all over the track. Once the racing starts we will...
