Initial discussions are under way with T-Rex regarding a group buy of their products. It will be primarily Gen III engine guards, luggage guards or sliders, however, I see they have sliders for prior Gens and perhaps we can include those too. At this point discussions are preliminary and I can...

It didn’t really seem like Christmas this year, unusually warm, no snow, rather quiet, but I did go for a 100 mile ride on Christmas day. A little too grumpy can get you a lump of coal in your stocking, and I had the itch for something to brighten up the season before New Year’s Day. Go bike...

This applies to Gen II & III only, as Gen 1 has a different brake pad pin with cotter pins........... There was some discussion a while ago about rounding out the 5mm hex in the brake pad pins when it is seized in the caliper. I suspect one cause could be the galvanic corrosion that occurs...

Update...... In addition to the Phillips, there is an LED replacement available that has shields to direct the light where you want it. This is much cheaper, around $40 per pair. Here is the link to Alibaba, which implies you need to buy in bulk. The wheels have been greased so you can buy...

Sorry, this will be a longer post than normal as I struggle with this life-changing circumstance. You may or may not have noticed that I haven't posted up much here lately, as I've been going through some physical and mental struggles. Exactly one month ago it was my 64th birthday and I...

I was at the Toronto Motorcycle Show yesterday, and had a nice conversation with John, the Yamaha Canada guy who brought the '13 FJR's to CFR in Huntsville. I was looking for technical info on the '14's, but apparently the tech rep was delayed due to a flooded basement. The Yamaha guys had a...

Incredible. I was at a local dealer looking at the KTM lineup (and the 2014 root beer FJR, etc.), and thought the 1190 was impressive. This 1290 is over the top..... https://www.motorcycledaily.com/2013/10/ktm-officially-unveils-1290-superduke-r-180-hp-in-a-lightweight-naked/
