Oh, and how the hell do I turn off the "ECO" notice on the speedo. I really, really hate that thing. I can turn it off on my truck....

I got a 2014 A after 73K happy miles on a 2005 I love it. I love the color. I love the amenities. I love it. It's got some real head-scratchers: 1) I buy rear fender flap. Yamaha, Y U no give flap? 2) Cowl vents in for cooler or out? I dunno.... 3) Nice guard on right side exhaust. Y U no...

Wtf..... Shiiiiiiit.... I asked the wrong question of Kuryakyn tech support: Which grips fit the 2005 FJR1300, the 6344 or the 6341?   Do the 6339 gloss black grip end weights work with either? Here is the response I got from Kuryakyn tech support: Hi XXXXX,   Thank you for your email...

+1 Skullcandy "Titans" with comply tips.

I had an APD motor cop kinda do the same to me: I saw a triple-headlight kinda bike coming up on my rear, fast, about 0500 on I-40 E bound at Carlisle. No other traffic. I was doing 65, the speed limit. I signaled and moved into the right lane, and he did too, still coming up fast, but he...

I passed the unmarked SUV at just above 70 in the 70 mph zone. I saw in my rearview mirror that he immediately pulled out behind me and accelerated. I didn't like that at all, so I goosed it to pass a car in the middle lane and pulled into the middle lane, slowing to 70, to let him by. I then...

I certainly had a WTF moment and decided to play it very cool, not cause any trouble, stay very much on guard and get the hell out of there as soon as I could, which I did.... Honestly, lately here in NM we have recently had a rash of bad, back-shooting, wife-killing, drunk, corrupt cops, I'd...

Hahahaha! I told my boss about my adventure and he said: "Goddamnit! How come they tell you they have no one available to take prints at the scene of a car break-in, but they are out there doing traffic stops for going 85 on the I-25 autobahn!?" I am so going to flog this story for an...

:lol: Hey, Bustanut! I've been lurking.... Much like the kid who never spoke until his oatmeal sucked: I haven't had much to say. My office-pal's guess was that he just got that new vehicle with a "certified speedo" and was aching to use it for something. I just don't think he liked being...

I wasn't well above traffic speed, but I did pass him. I don't think he liked being passed, even though I slowed and pulled into the center lane when he shot out to "pace" me.

I thought that myself, for a moment.... He had a State Police Badge, credentials, etc. He didn't write me a ticket, didn't do anything goofy or otherwise make me suspicious, so I chose not to cause any trouble and just rode off when it was over. I suspected it was a state admin vehicle when I...

Coming into work this morning on I-25 in New Mexico, just N of Tramway Blvd; not in the double-fine construstion zone, not at warp-speed, I passed a black SUV-looking thing; no external lights; no government plate; no markings of any kind. I notice he immediately gooses it and jumps in the far...

So, did anybody ever go out there and do it?

Biodegradable? The fuck?! That's a feature now?

The MSF can't ignore those things forever, someday they will have to teach courses that teach people how to use them safely and effectively. Raging against them doesn't make people safer....
