    Sportbikes, In the News, And It's Ugly

    Interesting statistics IRBR... Generally speaking, when corporations or insurance companies talk about "safety" - the focus is on how much money they will save.

    Sportbikes, In the News, And It's Ugly

    I also think that due to the sheer numberd of HD's out there, there'll be more of them involved in accidents - along with their 3 months riding experience and attitudes. Not to say sport bike riders are more experienced or can't have an attitude - it just seems to come with the purchase of an...

    Problem with routes

    Make sure that the maps are available on the 2610 for the route you've calculated on your PC. i.e. Calculating a route for Kansas City to Seattle with maps for Kansas, Arkansas, Iowa and Nebraska loaded into the 2610. You may also have to upgrade your memory card to get all the maps you need...

    Questions about the FJR

    I've ridden several bikes of various makes and models, but will have to say that my FJR is the best to date for overall comfort, performance and value. The Gen 1 bikes do produce a lot of heat, but from what I've read / heard, the Gen 2's have that problem under control. The only thing I'd...

    New Well Issue

    I agree - my deep well is 390 feet. They hit water at 225 running at about 3 gallons / minute, but I kept them going to try for another vein. Never did find a new vein, but the pump hangs at 340 so I have a good column of water to draw from. Well is lined with a casing as well - no dirt and...

    Miss South Carolina

    The whole thing is just sad - doesn't say much for education in A-map-rica! At least I now have a clear picture of why Americans can't find their own country on a world map. :huh: My bird dog is smarter that these chicks...

    Be carefull out there....

    It's also "frisky" time for those forest rats... Bucks get really stupid this time of year - don't sleep or eat much - they have other things on their mind and will show up at the darndest times... a little later on they'll find their rib cage pinned to my sights.

    Clean my motorcycle

    Dawn diashwashing liquid soap and water... Use some kind of plastic cleaner / polish on the tupperware. Just wipe off the Triumphs. Wax once every other year with Turtle wax - if they need it! I didn't buy this thing to shine it - bought it to RIDE it. My suggestion would be to ask some...
