Yup...IBA Saddle Sore (SS) back in October 2009. Details below. Did the SS qual ride with a buddy, 1k miles in 24 hrs or less. That gets you a license plate frame you can see on the bike, a nice little medal and an IBA number you can impress your friends with, if they're the impressible type...

Indeed it has. Lots has happened in the last few years. New jobs, new homes, new responsibilities. Been awfully busy. Things are settling down a bit now though. Good to be able to visit the board. Cheers, W2

Braided brake lines just lower the compliance of the total brake system. Compliance, or squishyness, is simply the amount of handle you need to pull to get a specific amount of "grab" at the disk. Braided lines make the brakes "feel" more responsive to the levers. They do not improve the amount...

Odds are the fire started with something in the Vette unrelated to the trickle charger. An idea or two: Carbureted engines lose fuel in the bowls when the car is stored and the gaskets will dry out. Dry gaskets don't seal as well and when you fire it up (no pun intended) the fuel will begin to...

Yup...that's a sight to behold. Howdy Ty. Cheers, W2

Damn but that Guinness is looking pretty good. W2

It takes a chain of events to cause an accident...sounds like you were one link short. :hi: Now if the dip had been wet & slimy... So shake it off and keep rolling. Cheers, W2

Hi ramrezz425. Welcome to the Forum from sunny So Cal. I'm up here in Santa Clarita and am ready to ride most any weekend. Cheers, W2

Interesting thread...I was just under big black last night staring at those very same attachments marveling at the little nut locking details...some engineerijng time and effort was spent on these little babies. The loads seen by the exhaust system (mechanical as in holding it up, thermal as in...

Today, it's a 3 or 4-day activity with the last day being an orderly retreat back to the LA area...maybe down 395. We will be 4 or 5 strong on the outward leg. Cheers, W2

That hurt...

Hey Simon. I hear you. I'm looking at trimming off some miles between Yosemite & the 108. Something like this. A couple of us did the 50 from Tahoe to Sacramento last October and got through in Saturday traffic in decent time (1.2 hrs maybe). But we were riding for time (SS1K) and not...

It's hard to read this stuff and then sit and listen to why career criminals ought to get ANY dispensation when they've clearly outlived their usefulness to society. We can truly do without clowns like this. So stick to your guns the next time someone comes around telling you why 3-strikes is...

PM sent Ty. W2

Bravo on Tioga pass. It is one of my favorites too. Here's the rub though. Last October two of our party rode 395 from LA to Tahoe so we've decided to concentrate predominantly on the west side of the Sierras. And we've all been on Tioga several times in the last few years (Tuolumne is one...

Here's an idea for Day 2. Hit Yosemite, then north to Chinese camp and Sonora (thanks Tree Doc) then east on 108 to 395 and back across on the 4 to Angel's Rest. W2

Take a look at the Homestead Studio Hotel north of the campus on I35. Easy on & off. Here's a website of reviews. It isn't the best in the area but it's better than tolerable. If you want to go north of $70, there is a good Courtyard by Marriott on the Trinity river for about $105 per night...

How much do you want to spend? I travel to our Lockheed Martin plant at FW often and know many good hotels in the area. Many very close to the school too. W2

"Life's hard but it's fair." Overheard somewhere near Dahlonega, GA during Mountain Phase. Been noodling that one for 25 years or so now. Seems to fit. Cheers, W2

Same situation as you Spud. Installed the touring WS w/o any foam and no problems so far. We're 18 months & 15k miles down the road. Cheers, W2
