    Traveling Mississippi

    I now this is an old thread, but I thought I'd add that if you haven't been to Memphis yet, it's not that difficult getting into the Beale Street area and out. From Mississippi, take I-55 N and stay on it as if you're heading to Arkansas. When you are in the vicinity of the river, and you'll...

    Need new boots.

    I've had the Alpinestars for years. When the soles get worn down you can take them to the shoe repair shop in the strip mall on Millbranch, near State Line Rd and he will put better soles on them that what came on them. He resoled mine for about $50, including polishing them up. They looked like...

    Reaper Passes

    I spent a lot if time with John. We met one day by chance at the Yanaha dealer in Olive Branch, MS. Little did I know, that would be the beginning of long, enduring friendship. We made several rides together. We kicked it off in 2004 at the first EOM gathering. It was fairly exciting. He shared...

    120/70ZR17 Avon Storm Not Recommended By Southwest Mototire

    I've noticed with about any tire that I get a wobble upon deceleration at around 45ish MPH. I've replaced steering head bearings and retorqued everything in the recent past too.

    My SPANK Experience

    Mike, you went through Fallsville not long after I was through there. I assume you continued on to Combs before heading back to the interstate. I've actually ridden that road before in the dry, but was that incredible or what? I mean, it's completely insane with the rain, lightning and fog. And...

    True Grit SPANK Results

    Like George said, it rained the whole time, but it was a blast. I wish it wasn't over. George hosts one heck of a rally and I'm really glad he posted the scores because I was fading in and out of never-never land while he was presenting trophies. Seeing the score card sure makes me kick myself...

    GenII ECM Changeout

    You know, now that you mention it, I do remember that. I think they mentioned it in the tech bulletin. I don't agree with it, but that's the way it is. Some of us do leave the state every now and then. Just this year I've been in AR, OK, TX, NM, AZ, UT, CO, NC, VA, WV, DC, and TN (multiple...

    GenII ECM Changeout

    How is it that University Motors can get an ECU yet the NEW dealer I'm using in Southaven, MS says that they are still on order? I have been waiting since the tech bulletin first came out!

    Scare today

    I'd do it too if I lived there. I've done it here on a much smaller level. I'll split one vehicle ahead in a back-up. In a slow down I usually just stay put. I've done it, maybe twice at a red light when the guy in the front has left a huge space, but never from more than 2 vehicles behind with...

    Sad Loss

    Sorry to hear of your loss and I wish the best for you and yours, especially throughout the holiday season. Thanksgiving takes on a new meaning for me with each passing year.

    Scare today

    You have to figure that there is a certain percentage of cagers that aren't aware of bikes being able to legally lane split, as it's illegal in most of the country. However, you should always look before changing lanes no matter what you happen to be driving. I can imagine that a bike in the...

    Is a wreck inevitable?

    Somebody said about 1/2 of motorcycle crashes involve the motorcycle leaving the roadway. If that's true, then you can cut your chances in 1/2 by not driving off of the roadway. It's been said that a high percentage of bike crashes involve alcohol. There you go...don't drink and lower chances a...
