    XM Radio Recommendation

    My 2730 isn't working that well so I just ordered a Nuvi 650 from Garmin's Outlet Store for $200. Now I need to get an XM/Sirius Sat. radio-recommendations? TIA Ian, Iowa

    Front Fork Leakage

    I saw a thread about making your own device. I used the top of a plastic container that cherry tomatoes come in. Worked (so far) on both forks on my 01 FZ. Still a little worried, two seals starting to leak at the same time is a bit of a coincidence. Ian, Iowa

    What happens to Dyna Beads in 8700 miles

    I use plastic air pellets from Wally-World. (Not sure of size but could check when I get home next week.) Way less $$. Ian, Iowa

    Riding in Europe

    I've rented from this company several times. Easy to deal with, wrecked one year, treated us fairly. Ian, Iowa https://www.biancoblu.com/ PS Europe was "funner" when the EU was worth $0.75. :rolleyes:

    Bike Won't Start

    My 04 would do this if it sat for more than a couple of weeks. Some times it would start cranking forever with WFO. Luckily, I live on a hill and it bump starts easily. I now just fire it up every week through the long Iowa winters. Ian, Iowa EDIT: Sorry, I added this without reading the...

    Fall Trip

    Each fall, I take one long motorcycle trip. This year, I’m going from Council Bluffs, IA to the Southeast. I’ll be traveling with two friends and will take about 19 days to get to Alexandria, VA. I plan on spending around three days each in KY, TN, NC, and WV. I will probably spend a day or...

    Going to the Dark Side

    Just checked this thread again as I'm switching to a Wee. I had the same result with the Yokohama-about 18,000 miles-wear bars showing. Michelin with 12,000-7/32 left. Ian, Iowa BTW the guy that said he'd buy my 04 ABS with 92,000 miles keeps delaying the pickup, never even looked at the...

    cycleport/motoport users questions

    The MotoPort Kevlar mesh pants didn't bother the tank but put many scratches in the plastic panels below the seat. Ian, Iowa

    Drying time for handgrip cement

    Turn on the grips while hooked up to charger or bike running? I used Super Glue, haven't ridden it yet. Ian, Iowa

    Going to the Dark Side

    I think I have a buyer for my 04 FJR. He won't want it with a CT so I'll pull it off and replace it with an Avon. Wondering if anyone would like to have the CT. It's a Michelin with about 7/10 left. All I need is the price of shipping. (You need this Train!) :rolleyes: Ian, Iowa

    Going to the Dark Side

    Just kidding, the Wee is supposed to get 10,000 plus out of the rear tire which is enough for my trips. We'll see how well I do. Ian, Iowa

    Just added this to my garage

    Looks good Pete, I'm looking to go lighter too. I bought an 07 Wee in September. Hope to hook up with you guys next spring in AR. Still needs a little work. :rolleyes: Ian

    It's so hard to say goodbye--to Remi / they make it worse!

    Remington, Sorry about the accident. That's over, time to move on and make decisions that will affect you the rest of your life! The recommendation for a "sport surgeon" is very good. I recommend getting a good orthopod that does a lot of ankle procedures and doing what he recommends...
