    The Why Not 2023 - Registration, Dinner and Shirt Orders- 7/19/23 UPDATE - WITH FREE STUFF!

    My buddy Robert and I are bedded down in an historic hotel here in Alturas, California. We left San Jose before the crack of dawn this morning to beat the rush hour traffic; we were successful. Had a really nice breakfast at Mom’s Diner, just south of Oreville, on Highway 70. Then headed up...

    Mattole Road Conditions?

    Thanks Old Michael, it’s “good to know” information. We plan to travel that road on our way back from next week’s “Why Not?” Rally. A couple of gravel sections is nothing for me, but might cause my riding partner some grief. It’s good to know it’s only just a couple of spots. We’ll handle ‘em...

    This is shaping up to be a great gathering. I'm bringing Robert, my riding buddy from work, and we just got him registered and set up with his meal ticket. Looking forward to meeting and greeting old friends and making new ones. Brodie 😁

    Dave Moss is in a bad way and in the hospital for the second time in a few weeks with Sepsis!

    I know this post is over a week old, and I hope Mr. Moss has recovered from his bout with Sepsis, but in the FaceBook responses nobody brought up this avenue of treatment using intravenous high dose Vitamin C to fight it. Dr. Merck has pioneered its use, yet the US Health Care system has largely...

    Cardo Bold and Sena 50S questions

    Don SENA 50 supports wired ear buds via 3.5mm audio output jack – just like your SENA 20. It’s in the helmet mount. In fact, a SENA 50 can fit onto the SENA 20 mount, although you won’t be getting all the features a SENA 50 mount has to offer. When you plug in your ear buds the audio is...

    Seat options

    When we bought my daughter’s custom fit Harlick Ice Skates, she would show them off to her friends, saying “Touch them, you’re feeling my feet.” Her friends were impressed with the idea of a pair of skating boots actually shaped to her feet. When I got my custom Bill Mayer Saddle, I said to...

    USA Gen I Ignition Switch Failure

    Just know this, my Ignition Relay Harness will not fix a failing ignition switch. It will only protect a healthy ignition switch by re-directing the large amperage into a 70 amp capacity relay. The ignition switch still needs to function properly in order to trigger the relay. Brodie 🙂

    USA Gen I Ignition Switch Failure

    Gentlemen I no longer make these Ignition Relay Harnesses, however, should you decide to make one yourself here is the post/thread where I lay out in detail how one is built: Ignition Relay Harness Enjoy! Brodie 🙂

    USA Gen I Ignition Switch Failure

    adyingbreed The original switch only had one pathway through the switch for the current to travel. Construction for the switch consists of a pair of flat contacts on the circuit board, which is attached to the wires, and spherical contacts on a spring loaded floating copper plate attached to a...

    Is this a TPS problem?

    As described to me, many years ago by a Yamaha engineer at one of the motorcycle shows, the altitude problem worked like this: The ECU triggers a barometric reading at startup, which sets the black box mapping. If this happens in the lower elevations, and is rode into the mountains with the...

    Post some pics of the area in which you live

    Calaveras Reservoir From the picture you would never know you were about 12miles from downtown San Jose. This taken from Calaveras Road, my daily commute route from Milpitas to Livermore. Sure beats playing thread the needle in the motorcycle lane in afternoon Interstate 680 stop and go...

    Headlight Modulator suggestions

    A note of reality for the original poster, StoNaiBeiCy: One of the really neat things about a user forum like this is that we are all ready and willing to spend YOUR hard earned money on your bike. And since you are installing a FuzeBlock, you’ve made provisions for future expansion. Don’t...
