    Are you running on regular fuel? Regular burns with a quicker bang which may be the same result your getting when the air is colder/denser.

    trailering ?

    jmdaniel--My trailer used to bounce all over the highway at around 70mph. Balanceing, new tires, new rims did nothing so I was convinced it must be my truck. When I fanally bought a new truck, same problem. The only thing left was the brake drums on the trailer, so I removed them-- problem...

    Video puts things in perspective

    After watching the video, spend an hour at a nursing home, then ask yourself if you REALLY want to live that long.

    My new toy hauler!

    You may want to consider replaceing that screw jack with a swing-away unit. Sure speeds things up when you want to be on your way and you don't have to worry about catching it on an obstruction and bending it. Bolts right on to the tungue out of the way of your tailgate on the pick-up truck...

    Mileagae jump!

    I rode my bike The first couple of years with no windshield on it at all and got around 48-50 mpg. Put the stock windshield on a couple of months ago (to much dirt in my face) and the mileage went down about 2 mpg. MIKE

    Hard as a Rock

    Pretty good vid especially for the first try. I see you treat STOP signs the way most cagers do! Hope you don't complain to much when some idiot pulls out in front of you because he didn't stop at a stop sign (yeah you looked, but he will too, he just won't see you). I guess I shouldn't...

    Wife Bike

    twowheelnut--I like your vidios! and yeah--I knew I was going to catch it. Take a group of 10 ten year old boys that have never been on a dirt bike, and a like group of girls. Any doubt as to which group is going to be better at rideing after the first day? Take any school in the USA, any doubt...

    Wife Bike

    Don't want to throw water on the fire but-- I've ridden in groups with gal riders and never thought much of any of them. Even the ones that were pretty good at handleing the bike ended up dropping it sooner or later. But thats not what would cause me to talk my wife out of rideing her own...

    Numb Throttle Hand-- No More!!!

    I recently read a report in a medical jurnal ( Hand of the physician ) by a group that did a two year study on this problem. Evidently one fo the doctors had the same problem and wanted to find what caused it. Their conclusion was that the people with the most discomfort, were the same...

    Epidural Steroid Injection

    Randy-- I've had serious back pain off and on for the last 35 years. It started when I jumped off a roof (I was in the roofing business) and instantly my left leg went numb. No insurance, divorced, had legal costidy of both my kids, just barely making it, I HAD to work. I walked with a limp...

    Bar Snake

    I'll definately agree with Squadron leader. I disconnected the main spring on my bike a couple of years ago and it made all the difference in the world, I was actually considering getting rid of this FABULOUS machine because of the stiff throttle and resulting aching right hand. MIKE

    observations made while changing oil

    Noticed a few strange things while changeing the oil yesterday that have got me baffeled and I'm hopeing someone can explain them to me. First-- Why is the twist cap on a bottle of Killians Irish Red harder to get off than the cap on a bottle of Yuengling Lager?? And why do the contents of...

    Anyone notice stones flying up off front wheel

    just plain dave-- the accuracy of those figures are fairly easy to check. The circumference of the front tire, in inches, how many inches in a mile, etc. etc.. Its even kind of fun. And yes, the contact patch is at 0 mph but by the time that spot rotates 90 degrees its traveling at the speed...

    Anyone notice stones flying up off front wheel

    blackb12--Maybe I can shed a little light on the subject and offer you an easy solution. The stones weren't sticking to your tire, they were caught in the groves, just long enough to absorb enough energy in the form of speed before they were forced from the tires grip by centrifical force, at...

    Teaching Math

    I used to own a roofing business. One of our largest contractors decided to increase their profits by squeezing the subs down on their price by %5. So they fired the local purchasing agent and called in the BIG GUN from corporate in Texas. This guy was a young ass kicker that could get the job...
