    Got permission to buy my dream bike, a 2013 Multistrada

    Warning, this is long winded, so I apologize in advance. So I finally got permission from the finance minister to get my dream bike, a 2013 Ducati Multistrada S. What's better than to find a motorcycle that has lots of gadgets (suspension, traction control, etc.), a decent range (5.2 gallon...

    High Altitude Suspension Issue?

    I noticed after going to over 9,000 ft while on the Sparks run, my suspension now fells very stiff and I feel every bump on the fwy. Is it from the altitude on the suspension components? Has this ever happened to anybody else? Just wondering.

    Buyers Flipping your good deal. Make you mad?

    I sold a seat on this forum for a great deal and the guy is flipping it for $100 more just one week later. Would that make you mad, or just par for the course? I started off mad, and now I am ambivalent. I believe in paying it forward. What do you think?

    Bridgestone T30 GT Tire Review

    I did a search and did not find a tire review for the Bridgestone T30 GT tires so here goes: I spooned them on this morning and did about 44 miles on them today. I only took them to within 3/8 inch from the edge due to the tires being new, but still far enough for an initial review. The...

    Flashing fuel gage on coworkers bike!

    I guy at work bought a broken 2006 FJR1300. He could not wait for me to get off of vacation before looking at it. Spent too much for it also as the guy told me what he would take, and jacked up the price $300 before the guy at work went to look at it. Oh well, back to the issue. He says the...

    Penske 8983 rebound/compression settings?

    Just got my Penske 8983 installed and set the sag at 1.25 in. (32mm). Now I need to do the initial rebound and compression. My shock does not have the knurled knob, it has a nut (hard to turn by hand) with 20 clicks of compression (I set to 10). The rebound has about 30 clicks, so I set it at...

    Trying to decide between shocks, need some advice.

    I am trying to redue the suspension on my 07 and am going to start with the shock, then the forks. Most shocks are way too much for the budget right now, so I have narrowed my choice to the following: Which shock is the best for spirited riding, rebuildability, and price? Nitron Sport Shock...

    Final questions on using a PCV on an 07

    I am finally tired with the low rpm throttle snatch and want to try the Uselesspickles calculated smoothness map for a Gen II, but I want to use it with the PCV 09/10 version. Questions: 1. I know the PCV 09/10 version (non modified) will hookup directly up to an 07 bike like I have, but do I...

    Bought the wife a new bike

    Ann has been bugging me for a new bike to replace her DRZ400sm, as that bike has a high center of gravity and only 35hp, so we splerged and got here a brand new 2012 Triumph Street Triple R in red. So far she loves it and it is light at under 400 lbs. :clapping:

    Love my dog, but.....

    It was raining on and off Sunday, so Nomi (my Vizula/Pointer/ with a little pit mix) was in most of the day. When the weather finally broke, I took her out to play. She was running full speed around the backyard and was heading right for me, so i moved to my left. Wrong move, she changed...
