    Harley rider pre-ride check off list: NWS! but funny

    You guys are brutal! Maybe I should put on my Power Ranger suit and ride my HD cruiser around town. But wait, that would mean I wouldn't fit into the stereotype above. I hope I don't get confused one morning and dress incorrectly for whichever bike I'm riding that day.....wouldn't want to...

    Frankenbike goes to the Darkside

    Great thread Howie. I enjoyed your step-by-step process of mounting and installation. I must admit...I'm a darksider too. I installed my 195/55/16 on the Wing a couple of weeks ago and love it. Smoother ride, much more quiet and grips in the wet like nothing I've ever ridden on. I'm liking it.

    Lap of Florida (IBA)

    A lot of the rides are posted on the MTF site (Motorcycle Tourer's Forum) if not on the IBA site. Great source of info. Check them out sometime.

    Lap of Florida (IBA)

    Hi Mike, would love to have you (and Robin) join a LAF. Lets start planning. Are you coming to the IBA dinner in Jax? Lisa is supposed to have some wild rides set up for the ride in.

    LDR/IBA GPS

    I'm using a 2720 with an old 2610 for data backup. I've also looked at many of the new GPS units and have decided the 2720 works just great. You can still find them on ebay for around $200.

    Engine smell, noise, and low mileage

    You didn't say how many miles are on the bike. Routinely the smells previously mentioned will go away with riding, however, one doesn't and that's the stator burning. The stator will start "cooking" with an overload situation. Do you have a lot of amps being used by accessories? Mine smelled...

    That won't happen until about March. Glad to see you're still out there causing trouble. :D

    Surrounded by PUSSIES!

    I'm planning a trip to the VA mountains next week where the temps are in the 30's. Wife and kids are taking the Yukon and I'm taking the bike because I've got to be back in Florida a couple of days before they want to come back. So I just changed over to my winter tire for the rear, a...

    Lap of Florida (IBA)

    Great ride report Tony, but don't ever go by my house again and not at least call. Bad boy! The MTF is putting together a LAF in the early Spring...you want to do it again?

    SS1000 / BB1500 Tx to Ca planning

    That's not what he meant. You stated you were traveling from TX to CA, but also stated you were taking I-10 East (the opposite direction). Try going west, you'll get to CA a lot sooner. Check the temps in NM and west TX at night, it can get pretty cool to downright cold during this time of...

    Test Ride Nightmare!! Could use some advice please...

    Just call a lawyer like most have suggested. Your feelings don't really matter in this case. You are seriously being taken advantage of in this situation. The dealer knows how you feel about it and is using that to over charge you for the bike and the repairs. It was an accident, not...
