First Gear TPG Impressions Finally have a few miles under my new First Gear Rainier Riding Gear and can post something a little more detailed than first impressions. For the record – I am testing this gear for Mark Kincart and Tucker Rocky – so though I’m not affiliated with them – I am an...

while scouring the internet for a solution to a friend's BMW rear drive failure - I happened on the following: a naked girl's rear drive failure solution

Did an oil change on Saturday - new oil - new filter changed to Golden Spectro and instead of 20/50 - went to 10/50 put 4 liters in plus filled the oil filter prior to installation. lines up almost exactly between the high and low mark when bike is on center stand. Maybe just shade higher...

does adding an extension to a torque wrench appreciably change the torque application to whatever you are torqueing? Just wondering.

this information was posted on the LDRider list and cross posted to FJRlist - it is from Bill McAvan - who is the guy who you all bought the groupl buy lights from: folks upon arrival back in town from taking care of an unplaned day job assingment. i have found a few inquerys in reference to...

9 hours on the road and I'm home from WFO5. bike is moderately clean - grass has been cut (discovered daughter had a party while we were gone) and I'm ready for one more cigar and a cold one. First of all - thanks to Dale and staff for all the hard work. My big problem is that I'm just dead...

Rode up to Downieville today -- on 49 via Grass Valley. Saw about 20 bikes today and at least 12 of them were feejers - so folks are arriving. A suggestion to some that might want to be riding 89/49. If you had planned on riding one direction, say from Reno to The end of 49 and then returning...

to all concerned. Went to the final fitting for my superbrace this evening after work. This time I met Scott from Superbrace in San Clemente - sort of half way between us. Seems they were waiting for an '05 to show up so the could check to see for sure if what they made for the '06 would be...

took all of about 20 minutes to install the Give 46 top case and rack today. got home and package arrived from Givi (via order from University Motors --- GREAT folks, by the way). Rack fits great - looks ok (like a givi rack, eh?) and case mounts up easily. Only hassle was installing the back...

I've ridden BMW's for several years. One thing cool (i think) that beemer shops offer are stick on BMW emblems (Roundel). They are not cheesy decals - but are nice sort of buttons that go great on the back of a helmet. 8 out of 10 BMW riders will have one on their helmet somewhere. I took...

Went for the second fitting with the nice folks at SuperBrace in Huntington Beach. They had a little grinding to do, but now have an accurate fit for the '06 model. I should get a final version within 2 weeks - anodized black model. Looks like the '05 wont fit the '06, but the '06 will fit...

anyone have a lead on an '06 A in the PA area? Friend is looking? He has a line on an AE, but would rather go manual

Calling on the wisdom of the list for suggestions as to what noise filter I should be picking up from Rat Shack (TM- Dumb looks for free) tonight. Installed a temporary connection for autocom last night as I have been running on batteries. It picks up every electrical noise - including the...

Lucky me - I'll be heading for Huntington Beach Saturday morning to be the guinea pig test bike for Superbrace measuring my '06. Hope to be riding home with a brand new brace by Saturday evening - and announcing that superbrace will now be offering their product for you lucky fellow '06 owners...

I'm in possession of 5 additional SuperCross tickets for Saturday's Finals. These are great seats - Section 229 - row 36 (basically around the 40 yard line on the press box side of the field. High enough for good visibility. Same ticket on the other 40 was selling for $200 each on stub hub...

my apologies for posting this chain mail - I know better.

George Zelenz (aka beeroux) is riding on a near bald tire - approaching Amarillo, TX He is looking for good bike shop - fellow rider with torque wrench and breaker bar - or general help in the area. Don't know anyone in the area. I have left him names of a couple of places for possible tires...

I mentioned that I would get back to the group on this - didn't get to ride much last week or this weekend due to being out of town and then having relatives visiting. So - I couldn't verify that my whistle fixing actually worked.   Leisurely ride to work proved that whistle is TOTALLY...

I think I have a temporary fix for the whistle - a permanent one will be simple if this really worked. I took 1 piece of electrical tape and taped it across the black metal support frame for the windshield. There are tons of little gaps and holes under there. No whistle to or from work today...
