When I was in college back in the 80s, I fell in love with a leather, adventure-style motorcycle jacket—the Hein Gericke Paris Dakar. But back then, I couldn’t afford it! The years went by, and when I got my Yamaha FJR 1300, I began looking for the Dakar. Alas, it was no more, but I found this...

About to begin my 3rd year with the FJR, last year I paid $670 for a year's full coverage with Dairyland/Sentry. (My 1st year was with Progressive, but when I moved from TN to TX, they freaked out so I switched.) This week, I got a renewal letter from Dairyland, with the premium going up to...

Hey everyone, Just wanted to say hi & thanks for all the great posts. Helped me make the decision to go for it when my wife gave me the green light to buy a motorcycle for my 40th birthday a few months ago. Last bike was an 86 Yamaha YX600S (Radian) I sold in '96--finally got another bike! I...
