    Time for a new GPS

    The old Garmin is out of date and due to be replaced. Just wondered what everyone is using these days, also mounting so you can actually see the darn thing in daylight. Appreciate any and all replies in advance.

    First Time at the Dragon

    Nice pics and looks like you had a good time. I like the dragon about once or twice a year but for a real fun ride, try out the Cherohala Skyway, long sweepers and fantastic scenery, and you can do them both in the same day !

    Oil change - how tight do you tighten the bolt at the bottom?

    I put a match mark on the bolt and the oil pan and re-install it so the marks match up and always use a new crush washer. Maybe a bit anal here but I have also drilled a small hole into the top of the bold and the little lip just ahead of the bolt and put a wire tie in it. Didn't take much...

    Am i the only one that missed the whole iron butt principal

    Sign me up for the CBA, I don't get the point of riding 1000 slab miles in a day, just to get a patch and say you did.

    Is the Hurt Study relavant anymore...

    Maybe a bit dated but good basic information to build on. I would venture to bet the only thing that changes much are the numbers in respect to volume, percentages probably pretty much stay the same. Just IMHO.

    Today while I was cleaning up my bike, or should I say just wiping the bugs, grease and grime off of it I came across this thing that looks like a rubber gasket. It was laying on top of my right rear hard bag, between the bag and the bike. I have no idea where it came from, took off the seats...
