    Starter whinning after low speed get off

    Over the weekend I had my first moving bike dump as result of unseen sand/gravel then a curb. The frame sliders did it's job protecting fairing, but I had my MCL highway peg and stator cover took a beating. I pick the bike up and fire it up to get out of the intersection, and notice the starter...

    How to pick a fight with your spouse

    HOW TO START A FIGHT One year, I decided to buy my mother-in-law a cemetery plot as a Christmas gift... The next year, I didn't buy her a gift. When she asked me why, I replied, "Well, you still haven't used the gift I bought you last year!" And that's how the fight started...

    OtterBox Phone cases

    I emailed OtterBox when my HTC EVO phone cover that is about 8 months old inner skin was a bit stretched out. Gaps at the top and bottom of the phone. If your not familiar with these covers. They have a silicon type sleeve then an outer hard plastic cover. Mine is the Commuter model. A few...

    Sony A55 DSLR

    Since my Minolta 5D is on it's last leg I was in the market for a new DSLR. I was planning on switching gears to a Nikon, but that would render my Minolta based lenses (3 of them) useless. Sony who bought out Minolta seems to be carrying on well with Minolta's product. Even cutting edge with...

    COSTCO Joke

    Been around awhile, but if you haven't seen it.... MY LAST TRIP TO COSTCO Yesterday I was at my local COSTCO buying a large bag of Purina dog chow for my loyal pet, Jake, the Wonder Dog and was in the check-out line when a woman behind me asked if I had a dog. What did she think I had an...

    clicking or popping felt in bars coming to a stop

    I felt clicking in the bar ends while coming to a stop light this morning on the way to work. It felt like the source was up high near the triple and not from the wheel or brakes. I would say it lasted a few seconds while slowly braking from 10 to 5 mph at about 3 clicks or pops felt in both...

    Plasti-Dip

    Saw this product on a friends site. One guy painted his whole car for a change of pace. I plan on using some for my Russell Saddle around the bottom rim where the seat makes contact with bike frame is showing some slight wear. Anyone personally familiar with Plasti-Dip...

    Conductive Glove tips

    Just order a set of these conductive tips. Anyone try them yet? My primary concern will be the adhesive keeping the tips secure long term. Will probably look into adding some additional glue to the install. HERE "No affiliation"

    Oklahoma pothole claims Givi E55

    Hit a pothole on the Highway today. It was significant enough I was concerned the front tire was going to quickly go flat. After tail braking down to about 35mph all seemed OK. A mile later a car flags me over, and I immediately knew why. A second car stops as well to inform me a pick up truck...

    New cars looking for opinions

    OK, I'm close to sending a none refundable deposit to hold this car (tomorrow). It's 200 miles away. I got the answers expected from the vehicle specific forum, so here on a motorcycle forum asking ;) I got the price I want and 0.0 financing. Only thing remaining is negotiating the trade in...

    I need website revenge

    I've submitted a few ordered thru Thompson Cigar online. Recently they have been calling me and emailing me daily. Numerous requests to be removed from call and email lists with acknowledgement ultimately go ignored. Not that I should have to, but I've added the numbers to the block lists and...

    RAM Mount Universal X-Grip Mobile Phone Cradle

    was discussing Phone mounting options in another thread. I believe the cradle will work for devices as small as an ITouch to your largest smart phone. I do not think there would be a problem vertically mounting a phone, the contact points are stable, but without a bottom shelf supporting the...

    Throttle Cable Play

    I've gone years without touching the throttle cable. Last week I adjusted the cable play (on the throttle side adjustment nut) to remove approx 1/16" inch of slack. I was surprised at the amount of rotations required to ge the slack out. I tighted the lock nut, and all is well (for a month). I'm...

    NGK Iridium

    I picked up a set of NGK Iridiums (CR8EIX) for install while the tank is up for the recall. I noticed the tip of the Iridiums is not the flanged boot connector type but it's the smaller threaded tip. To avoid any drama delays or dealership BS I want to know what is required (if anything)...
