I'll bite. Zzooomm

I'll bite. The PHIDs are needed on my Duc.

Warchild, I've been following the wheels and am still considering a set. Any installation issues?

Jim, I still contend that you can keep your Gerbings and turn the HeatTroller down and you will receive the same heat as you would with Widder gear on high. X watts =X BTUs of heat does it not? Then at least during those cold winter days or when your option is certain hypothermia versus better...

I was gifted a couple of bottles of Madrona Zin a few years back by a GF with good taste in wine and the money to suport my, uh uh, I mean her tastes. And, I concur that Madrona is awesome. Is there a varietals section to continue this thread? Where 's their tasting room?

I bought a pair of Held Galaxy's prior to CFO and promptly returned them when I got home. The finish was peeling off on the fingers and palms, the seam between the pointer and index fingers was cut short and brutally uncomfortable. I do have large hands and these were XXLs but were cut for...

I also experienced a Z4 front tire failure/separation at 85 mph and will not be a Metzler customer in the future. I used to like Sportecs but will not be spending any more money with Metzler. The Internet is full of first hand accounts of failures. How many failures requires a recall?

I contacted Mr. Hall the fellow that took the picture and this was his response:

The Wilbers springs are virtually the same spring rate as the stock springs (.78-1.0). Wilbers achieves a slightly higher static rate by increasing the preload on a progressive spring. They are considerably longer than the Yamaha and you end up with about 40 mm preload with the preload adjuster...

I personally observed the Mokos in a moderate speed low side and they prevented any damage to the lowers, bar ends, and would have prevented damage to the upper had the Top Gun light braket not folded back. Further damage occurred when the bike came to an abrupt stop against the far side of the...

City Select will occupy about 1.6 GB so the Quest will hold less than 1/10 of the data. This is not a limitation if you don't stray far from home. The Quest may not even hold all of Texas. That said, City Select provides good info and has always got me where I needed to go with or without maps...

With all the City Select data preloaded onboard and another 140 mb for things like Topo, please describe how you think it is limited. I currently use a GPS V and the two limitations with it are its 19 mb capacity and slow processor resulting in lazy reroutes. Color is only a bonus and with my...

Radman, I was wearing the Cycleport solid Kevlar pants and Riva jacket last weekend that was delivered to the Days Inn on Friday. I was no hotter riding home in my new rear than I was riding up in a Fieldsheer mesh jacket that I've been using for the last three years. The Kevlar fabric is...

The point being that the 276C is a great piece of work excluding the proprietary memory. Adding XM which eliminates another device from my bike (one that's not waterproof) would be worth the added dollars especially if it used SD or CF.

I was just saying this weekend that I would replace my GPS V when Garmin came out with the 376C. Surely, I thought, that they would have moved to SD or CF for memory. It appears that they are still using their proprietary memory. The XM capability is a plus for sure. The XM weather packages run...

Present and accounted for in Richardson.

There are many readily accessible firearms capable of defeating body armor (like Grandpa's old Stevens single shot and a $3.00 box of 12 ga slugs.) Though the 5.7 may be capable of defeating armor and hence the vitals, it is still highly unllikely it will become the weapon of choice for bangers...

Warchild, Do you find the increased stitching offers better cooling or comfort over a slick seat? I've got a "drive in" appointment Augutst 2 enroute to WFO. To and from CFO this weekend, I focused on the things that I would like to improve. Anything I might want to consider incorporating in my...

I use a Palm OS based freeware from www.zizzagsoftware.com called ZMoto. If you use a Palm based device it is quite handy and very well done for freeware. Kevin

I knew we were in trouble when a fella that came to an FJR gathering on his ST1100 was named as responsible for WFO-4! Being responsible for such an undertaking is more work than most of us are willing to undertake. Thanks for all your hard work. I've delayed paying for dinner because of...
