    Sturgis

    Uh interesting idea but I dont like family law practioners.Too much negative experiences with them.Think I will keep this one!At least she tolerates my mechanical mistress.

    New Rifle is on...

    You are doing exactly what I have done for over two years now.I am thinking of finding some wings that I can add somehow to my mirrors for good deflection for winter riding.As for my tunes I have a smart phone and use one of these https://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/products/a.../overview/mw600...

    fz1 mirrors

    Yes!You will be amazed at the difference.Really easy to do.Just remove the panels around the instrument cluster/battery.10mm wrench and that is it.

    Maine to D.C.

    Since I have not yet been to that area one tv show puts me in the mood to get there. Some of the best hole in the wall eateries can be found along the way.Check out that Diners,Dives and Drive ins on the Food Channel website.Best part of any trip for me is finding local :dribble: :dribble...

    New BMW Sport Tourer

    Would love to park one in my garage for sure if the final drive issues have been fixed.I do hope the seat is low as it looks.That has been the bonus for me on goldwings.I am sure it will have the esa and a number of other BMW goodies that really would make this the premier distance ride.I would...

    Not even 4 days -- Dropped it..

    Dont feel bad.My first drop was in the driveway after stepping on a couple of rocks.I not only ended up with a dented tank but on the fall I smashed a big dent into the door of my new truck too!

    HD Super Ride

    Yea.Can Am RT.Funky fun,almost car like,10k cheaper that any other trike and at least reminds me of days past of snowmobiles in Wyoming.Call it marital compromise.The HD I rode was tweaked a lot by the shop which means more money.The fact is the numbers were 10k down and $489/m for FIVE...

    First SS1K - loop of Lake Michigan?

    When I tried I left Escanaba at 6am and tried to hug the lake.Maybe that was my mistake.My son lived in Escanaba then and going over the Mac was a real thrill but by late afternoon I hit Benton Harbor and the grind towards Chicago just ate me up.By the time I got to Wisconsin I was all but...

    First SS1K - loop of Lake Michigan?

    I tried but for me the southern loop is a real nightmare once I got to Benton Harbor and it gets worse from there.My starting point was Escanaba.If the cages or forest rats in the UP dont get you LEO will!Really tough to keep that 60mph rate and the fatigue is oppressive.Granger might give you...

    HD Super Ride

    I rode the Ultra Classic with a 103 ci engine.I found the sweet spot @2500rpms and was great freeway rider.I did the same thing in a hard turn coming off the freeway that had a hard right after the exit.Was a little unnerving.The idea of buying a 35k paint shaker at idle doesnt appeal to...

    HD Super Ride

    Today just for grins I stopped at a HD store to take them up on the latest promo.Last HD that saw my butt was thirty eight years ago.Got rid of it after it busted my ankle trying to start it.I thought I would give them another chance but not much has changed in my opinion of the brand.I did ride...

    The BEST Motorcycle Commercial EVER!

    Irony that thirty five years ago if you didnt check the oil level at every fill you would find yourself with a stuck crank.Guess its progress that the warning is now stamped into the frame

    is it illegal to have reflectors facing forward?

    I haven't gotten hassled over reflective tape on on my bike and it is invisible except when hit by headlights.It cant be seen by oncoming cars either but sure comes in handy when some dufus charges at my bike when parked.I will warn you that placing blue led or other colored lighting could cause...

    Stock windscreen modification?

    Lots of cheap tweaks out there.My 04 runs with a Rifle and it has the same curve as the Yamaha Stratoliner so I added a laminar lip.Looks funky but there is zero turbulence with my setup.My best tip for a Gen1 would be get a Rifle windscreen and go from there.If you do get a taller windshield...
