    FREE Gen I OEM Shock

    Doing a little cleaning and came across the stock shock from my long gone '04.  Changed it out while doing forks et al and not because it was blown or anything.  Records show it has about 38k on it.  Free to anyone, just cover shipping.

    NFL Commercial and Motorcycles

    I was trying to find something to watch last night and came across this commercial during one of the NFL games.  I'm usually not at all sensitive to this stuff but as a motorcyclist, and a generally legal one at that, it sort of rubbed me the wrong way.  Just figured I'd share.  It is winter...

    I Need a Compressor

    My long-time garage compressor finally bit the dust and I'm looking to replace it.  Completely ignorant of what I should be looking for in a replacement other than I would think something no bigger than maybe 10 or 15 gallons.  A mechanic friend simply said just about anything in the big box...

    TSA and Motorcycle Gear

    Has anyone flown while wearing or carrying their electric gear?  I'll be moving a bike soon and then flying back to New York.  I'd like to wear my red Warm & Safe jacket on the flight home but I'm wondering how a TSA agent might react to my torso being all wrapped in wiring.  Same with the...

    Trailer Tires

    I've only bought bike tires on-line so this is new to me. I need to replace the tires on my three-rail open trailer (4.80-12). Any recommendations on where to buy? And after some searching, it seems like most offer rim and tire for roughly $20 more than the tire itself. If I'm doing my own...

    Sighting in the Catskills

    Late yesterday afternoon gassing up off of 17, maybe at the Wolf Lake exit? An FJR and a Harley. Beautiful day for a ride and that area seemed quite empty to traffic. I was jealous. Good for you guys if you're reading this.

    NYC Fire

    I know there's a few here with FD connections so I thought this might be of interest. Not often something like this is captured so dramatically. Early this morning in Queens, NY.

    The FJR's Lifespan?

    Earlier this year there was the annual thread speculating about the release of the 2019 FJR. Not only might it be described as underwhelming, but there was also some head-scratching about what seemed like a delayed announcement. (See here.) Before that, back in August but still getting active...

    Aerostich Back Protector - trade or purchase

    Anyone have a Medium (M) Aerositch back protector for a Roadcrafter that they'd either like to trade for a Large (L) or sell outright? My large is just a tad too long for comfort and while I'm pretty sure I can cut the innards down, I'd still have the cover to adjust and it seems fewer people...

    Sighting in Pinehurst, NC

    This past Saturday morning in the village, maybe for a coffee break? Two riders, one on an '04 I believe and the other on a smaller-ish cruiser. Parked right across from me as I was pulling away. Have to give props as it was already fairly warm and you guys were in full gear, two of the few...

    FYI. Location given as Garden State Pavilions Shopping Center, 2240 Marlton Pike W., Cherry Hill, NJ 08022 Went to one last year and finally bought a Darien Light jacket that I was always interested in. It was nice to try it on but also to have an employee look it over. She made a couple of...

    Split: Some Don't Like Lane Splitting

    Got this via email today. Thought some might find it interesting. (Mike, hope you don't mind me tacking this onto your thread but thought it couldn't hurt to keep such conversations in one area. Let me know if you rather it moved.) VIDEO BREAKDOWN: WHAT DOES THIS CRASH SAY ABOUT LANE-SPLITTING?

    Western NC trip info

    A friend has vacation picked for early April and mentioned the Dragon as someplace he'd like to check out. Ok. I've been before but whenever in that area I was following along so this'll be the first time that I'll be doing the planning and leading. I've just started looking at must-dos and...
