    Hey technical types !

    I have a cabinet shop and most all my machines use digital read-outs that take 2 AA batteries. These readouts can go through as many as 5 sets a year and seeing that I have 7 of these, that is a lot of batteries. I was going to start getting recharable batteries and wondered if betweent the 2...

    Bivy Sacks

    I think I am in the market for a bivy sack for MC camping when I am on the road solo. I am aware of the logistical problems that this will present with gear storage/protection, but I want to know if anyone has used a bivy and in what conditions with what manufacturers/models. Most of my...

    Track Daze at VIR

    This Monday, Team Pro-Motion had a track day at VIR and at the lunch break a track coach took me out for a half dozen laps. I was tha only one not racing on a bike, so I was the only one out. I had a pretty decent audience watching the guy with the saddle bags on the track (yes I was on the...

    Gerbing and Warm and Safe liner owners

    I am considering a liner if the GB gets finalized. I have a shop here that sells Gerbing and the jacket is a little bulkier than I think I would like. The Warm and Safe folks describe their liner as heat neutral and the material used sounds thinner and lighter. I like the idea of the tigher...

    PR2's and tire levers ; wheel weights

    Time to mount the PR2's. The rear will be the largest and stiffest tire I have ever attempted. Am I going to be able to do it without a tire machine? I use spoons, rim protectors, soap etc only. Also these rims don't look like they are good candidates for stick on weights. Any suggestions on...

    Starcom owners--question about helmet setup

    How have some of you fastened the jacks to the helmet and what's a nifty solution to stow the extra wire if you use ear phones? Actually I guess you don't have to have a Starcom to have a suggestion. Thanks.
