So my son has been bugging me to get the 'new' 2% cash back credit card that's been advertised. I have a 1-1/2% cash back card now. I finally break down when he emails me the link to an application. Ok it takes all of a couple of minutes & I'm approved. Now there is an issue. Its my...

"Sold to Bob B" I have (I believe it is) a Harbor Freight tire changing setup, never used and a mc lift rated at 1000 lbs (hydraulic pump up with your foot). I used to use it on my last Wing. Free but must be picked up. First come, first served. Email me ONLY at: jerry at molaver dot org

I was doing some mod work on my STI & needed some wiring info. Googled the interwebby & there was an excellent article by giving me everything I needed (and more). Tried tracking him down to shoot him a 'thank you' email & stumbled on his site: https://www.fjr-tips.org/ Its also a great site...

So I take my bike in for the spider recall 8 days ago. When the service manager is writing it up I casually say while you have evrything open there you may as well change the plugs & air filter - 1st time for the plugs (37K miles) so I figure I'll pick up another 13.78 HP by changing them, based...

Somewhere between Connecticut & West Virginia last weekend I lost one of the screws for the bracket that supports the right muffler and side case. There are two screws in the bracket just ahead of the case itself - One of those is missing. Anyone know what size that might be? I have the manual...

Two of my sons were racing at VIR (Virginia International Raceway) on the VA / NC border this past weekend so I thought I'd ride down & photograph their efforts. I left work Thursday afternoon and rode to Easton PA to stop & visit friends on the way (84 to 684 to 287 to 78). After I crossed the...

Today I had to visit our company's branch in Pittsfield, MA. From where I live in Ct its about a 2 hour ride, mostly nice up RT8 & then RT7. On the way back I was perhaps being a little to wrist happy just north of the CT border. About 1/2 mile from the line (according to my GPS) I came around a...

TIA

Just got back from a quick jaunt up RT 8 (from Connecticut) to RT 20 to Pittsfield and back. Every time I ride over the border on RT 8 I get reminded how nice a ride that road is. My company has branches in Pittsfield & Torrington so made the ride to the two of them this morning. Very light...

So I had to scoot down to Harrisburg PA on Tuesday for a Wednesday meeting - its about 240 miles, 4 hours of superslab. The weather had been pretty cool around here in the evening so I didn't think my Joe Rocket mesh jacket was the right choice (still waiting for my Cycleport replacement from...

OK I admit it - I am generally biased toward Arai lids. My previous helmet was the Quantum 1. It served me well for many years until its untimely demise a couple of months ago - I was rear ended, landed on my head but the fiberglass shell took a pretty severe whack. Athough outwardly, except for...

After getting my fjr back from the fjr hospital I discovered 1 additional damaged item that her insurance adjuster didn't pick up. The helmet lock that I purchased with my top case mounting plate from Premier was bent forward completely. It was toast. Last night I visited Premier's website to...

Don't know if this has been posted here before - its unbelieveable that she was still driving! https://newsblog.projo.com/2010/07/westerly...cted-in-fa.html

So there I am, happily scooting home from work yesterday knowing my new Arai helmet has been delivered and is waiting for me :rolleyes: I stop in traffic for a stop light (after checking my mirrors, no one behind me). I must have been sitting there anticipating my 1st new helmet in 15 years...

My Quantum has just about seen its last mile :( The safety police will surely tell me I should have replaced it 150K miles ago. . . I have been looking at the new lineup of Arai (I really like their products) and the Corsair looks like a winner for me. However the best discounts I see on line...

Prior to taking my recent cross country ride I purchased the Bohn Armor pants. I have ridden pretty much in jeans my whole riding life except for my 'rain pants' which are overpants I wear in the wet stuff or in below 40 degree temps. They are some sort of insulated, padded pants made up of the...

Didn't see this in a search so fyi: https://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/recalls/resul...&refurl=rss

Well my Quantum is probably getting to the end of the line and before I pull the trigger on another helmet I would appreciate anyone's comments on the newer Bluetooth units. I am looking for a full face. Are there any owners of these helmets that would care to share their comments? Battery life...

It looks like I get to fill in my map this year :rolleyes: I'm planning on leaving Connecticut the last week in May and taking the southern route to the west coast. I want to stop in Tuscon to visit a couple of friends & then on to California & north to Washington. After that head east...
