I've always believed both my brakes activated the ABS system when used alone. Today I hit the rear a bit hard and the wheel locked up surprising me. 2 days ago, (900 miles ago) I had a new rear tire installed by a big dealer in Jackson MS, on Wed, and I guess I'm wondering if the ABS to the...

On a bit of journey from Tucson to New Orleans and after spending 5 days in San Antonio awaiting some parts, I'm eastbound again tomorrow (Thursday). No desire to ride thru downtown Houston on the freeway (heading for Lake Charles area for Thursday night), so looking for guidance from local...

Starting a 3 week ride next weekend from Tucson to Key West and return. Reluctant to re establish my SPOT account and paying for tracking etc, if there are some reasonable cell phone alternatives since there is likely to be coverage for the entire route. Has anyone used another system...

Looks like my Zumo 550 will no longer read the SD card with my full set of NA maps. So, what do I replace it with? Trying to stay in a $350 +/- budget. Refurb 395? Refurb 595? Damn...

Peggy was riding with friends in a beautiful part of NW Oregon returning from a ride to the coast and failed to get out of a corner. Something happened and she hit a guardrail way too hard and died quickly. Fuck, I really cared for this woman and her incredible smile and warm generous heart...

Buying a little retirement home in the Tucson area and I do not want a "bundle" of useless shit and a land line. Cox seems to be the only vendor around and I'm wondering if some of you might know of a good alternative to hooking up with them. I'm sure I can find the TV shows and news I want...

Anyone have any experience with this product? Seems like a pretty nice price at under $60.00. https://www.whitehorsegear.com/bikemaster-heated-grips Thanks for any feedback!

Asking for a last minute Xmas present from the much better half and looking for a consensus of pros and cons for either solution to cold hands in marginal weather. Are there significant benefits to either? My ride is a 2005 beauty.

A good friend is looking at an '07 Honda 919 in cherry condition with less than1000 miles. Seller is firm at $6k, Buyer is torn since bikes he likes are $8k and up however this may give him good service until he can upgrade. I saw it today and it is a sweet red creature. Anyone have experience...

Both are out so I suspect a fuse needs replacement? I'm in Mt. Carmel Junction about 20 miles north of Kanab, UT. Hopefully there will be a Yamaha dealer there so I can get this fixed in the AM. Any thoughts or advice for me?

I'm about 14,500 miles into my ride and realize my planning for my third set of tires slipped my mind. Does anyone have a set they would part with and hopefully a shop that would install them. I'm in SE Utah and working my way through amazing roads and parks and should be in Flagstaff Tuesday...

Overdue for an oil and filter change on my 50-60-70 Big Ride, I headed for the local big dealer Tues AM in Hattiesburg. Enjoyed their amazingly large inventory of shiny toys but when I got the bill, I was shocked. $132.50, $79.50 for labor plus materials and tax. Fook! The most I had...

Started my ride on August 25th out of Portland, OR. Have been posting to Facebook but several folks don't use that and have asked that I post here as well. Day one ended in a great little farm house near Hedley, BC after 495 miles, about 150 in mid 90's temps, whew! Loved the Klickitat River...

Yesterday morning on Day 4 of my 50-60-70 ride in Hyder, AK, the bike had a sudden false start when re- starting it at the border checkpoint. Just turned over for a half second and quit, started fine on the second attempt. The bike was warm. Then I noticed that the clock had reset to 12:00 and...

How do I shut this damn window off? Every time it powers up, I get this window and after searching everywhere online for an answer, I'm turning to the forum for help. Thanks!

During my soon to depart, 50/60/70 ride, I will need to find a place to stay about an hours train ride west of NYC and then take an early commuter train in the city for a long day of sight seeing and eating great food. I have no desire to ride in the congestion paying tolls, looking for parking...

My new to me, used Give 52 top case came with an Admore full lighting kit with running, signal and brake lights. I cannot get the right side to light up equally with the left side. First there were 3 small led lights in the outboard that did not work as well, as the low illumination problem on...
