    SOLD - Still as new / unused Morgan Carbtune

    SOLD - First I see two distinct seperate posts, I clean one out, and now the other one doesn't show! So here is my original sales pitch edited back in: I have a Morgan Carbtune I bought before I sold my FJR (so I bought it maybe 1-1/2 years ago?), and never used it. My new bike is a two-banger...

    Anybody in Portland Area with a Shiver or Tuono I could check out?

    I've been contemplating getting either a Shiver or a Tuono as a commuter and nice short-distance / day trip ride. I am tending towards the Tuono simply for the power ratio, but am trying to keep an open mind for either. Some of you might remember what kind of physical issues I went through with...

    Blue FJR at KOA in Warrenton / Fort Stevens

    Went tent camping this weekend with my wife and kids. Saw a blue FJR at night, parked not too far from our own tent. Meant to talk, but you left early. You were there with friend / girlfriend or wife on separate bike.

    Photos of yet another sucessful resuscitation of an old OEM windshield

    Here are finally some pics of my original OEM windshield after some cutting and painting. I got this thing sent in a big box by the bikes previous owner with some missing parts and another windshield (the bike had a CalSci mounted already), and when I unpacked it it was so scratched that I knew...

    Feedback wanted on Pro Caliber in Longview

    I just received my safety recall notice in the mail yesterday, and I have some mixed feeling about going back to Bob Lanphere's Beaverton Motorcycles. That place is just huge and I did have some minor complaints the last few times they did service (has been several years though). Now the safety...

    Evacuated because of tanker fire

    My family was evacuated from our home yesterday because this happened: tanker fire Right at the beginning you can see mounds of gravel for winter time; my drive way is exactly on the opposite side of that on the other side of the road. The train with all the logs had cars derail which then...

    Had my very own (and involuntary) Tech Day on Saturday!

    I had changed my final drive oil, engine oil and air-filter on Friday to be ready for the Saturday morning ride up to Bryan and Marissa's home in Auburn. I rode the bike out of the garage Saturday at 6:50am, then realized I didn't have the address as a waypoint in the GPS anymore, so parked the...

    Fun little story to share

    So I had a family get together yesterday on the other side of town (Southeast towards Gresham) at a sister in laws house, and wife and kids went earlier while I finished up a house project. So of course I rode my Feejer over instead of taking the other car. The 16 year old boyfriend of one of...

    And another guy looking for a GenII stock seat...

    EDIT: Bought a front seat from Lewis in Medford. Thanks!!! I need only the front, but I'll take both if I have too. Just had another painful day of riding on my Corbin today, I just have to do something! The PO had only kept the original pillion and had given away the stock front. Thanks!

    Nelson Rigg CL 100 for $47 plus shipping

    I had some issues with the combination of my Cee Baileys flip screen and my Bestem box mounted at the same time and no pillion rider (which is pretty much my standard situation). The bike's back side would start to dance at higher speeds. As per another post (the one with a picture of Fred's...

    Quick Saturday trip to Cape Meares

    I finally took a few pictures on a quick trip to the coast and back on Saturday in 70° weather. Hooray - for once I finally remembered that my cell phone makes for a decent camera... :rolleyes: OK, so it did take me a while before I figured that out. To be exact, it took me all the way from...

    Quick glance tire pressure check

    I had a few folks wonder at our Auburn Tech-meet at Bryans house why I didn't want to put in the popular steel elbow valve stem with my new back tire. I put in the very short straight stem off Curvy Girls ebay shop instead, and here are the pictures as to the why. These pressure indicators...

    Big problem with Y.E.S.

    EDIT: IGNORE THE ASSUMPTIONS I MADE BELOW ABOUT RESPONSIBILITIES. THANKS TO THE ADVICE BELOW IT WAS CLEARED UP THAT I NEEDED TO GET ON THIS MYSELF. I wasn't sure if I should put this here or under insurance, maybe it needs to be moved. OK, so here it goes. I bought my 2006 last December from...
