    Rented a Honda VFR1200F

    It's a commuter sport bike with fairly good ergos... period. It's a fun ride for riders under 5'10" tall. I really liked the V4 sound when I got on the throttle. Otherwise, it's pretty quiet (stock exhaust). The stupid Dunlop Road Smart tires limited just how much throttle I could give it...

    Interesting Dealer Observance

    I decided to send the bike to the shop for a TBS & rear brake repair (it was totally inop!). The shop informed me that the front & rear brakes are linked.... I asked if that meant ABS? Ummm.... no, linked. I had no idea. I always assumed that non-ABS meant separate brake systems, front & rear...

    Cycle Mate Camping Trailer

    I stripped everything down or off. Powder coated or painted nearly everything. Cleaned up canvas. Installed all new Velcro. New tires & wheels as well as some table parts are on order. Interior is all black 'speaker matte'. It's really cool because Velcro sticks to it. Raised the coupler 4" to...

    Inexpensive LED Lighting

    While picking up stuff for my camping trailer, I picked these up at the local 'big truck' store for about $70 each. 5 1W 6000K LED's. I haven't wired them up yet. But I did hook them up to a 12v battery. Pretty bright, all considered.

    MotoGP Losers!

    Millions of dollars spent on these kids and they couldn't even dress up a bit or act, at least in part, a bit excited (except Casey. I admire him even more now!). During the event, at which Honda Motor Company President and CEO Takanobu Ito was present In my book, these two punks put the...

    Clutch Basket Springs

    As some of you know, I broke a clutch basket spring on my ZX-14 & it bounced around taking out the oil pump gear. Anyway, I'm trying to track down 'why' they broke. What function do the springs perform? They're just loose in the basket assembly held in by tabs ('06-'07 are fully enclosed, '08-...
