    Gibbs lubricant\anti corrosive

    Turns out I have a can of Corrosion X, in the aviation formula and will probably take it. Is there a tie breaker between ACF 50 and Corrosion X? They both appear to be very good from the reviews.

    FJR vs. Super Tenere question

    Thanks for all the good info. I am surprised at the number of you who have both bikes. Sounds like a 14 FJR in my near future. I don't know at this point if I will even bother test riding the Tenere.

    We are going ahead with our plan to move to the Coeur d' Alene Idaho area and I need recommendations on moving companies to use or not use. Also, should I let them take my V Max and FJR, or have them shipped by MC specific carrier? The only one we have talked to so far is Red Ball. I did a...

    Coeur d' Alene Idaho weather

    Post Falls and Rathdrum are the two towns we were looking at to buy a place. Coeur d' Alene seemed pretty 'touristy' and the real estate prices were quite a bit higher than these two when we stopped there for lunch last Sept. on our way to Spokane.

    brakeaway cruise control

    I have a Breakaway on my V Max and it works flawlessly. I have a Madco on my FJR that I bought here from a Forum member, at a fraction of the cost and it's every bit as good. Jack.

    Ride on tire sealant question

    I should have been more specific. I'm not asking if Ride On is a good idea/product or not. I have used it successfully for years. I want to know if there is a difference between the motorcycle version and the auto variety.

    Ride on tire sealant question

    As I was ordering some of this stuff, I noticed the auto version could be had cheaper than the motorcycle 'formula.' Is there any difference between them and is it o/k to use the the car stuff on my FJR tires? Thanks. Jack.

    I'm hot. Let's try Draggin' Jeans.

    Jason. the Draggin setup w/ knox knee armor is all I wear. I substituted a more HD velcro and in combination with the natural pressure of your knees against the pants, holds them in pretty well. Never crashed, but the reports I have read are positive. Jack.
