    Bridgestone Battlax T31 GT - 120/70ZR-17

    Bridgestone Battlax Sport Touring T31 GT Front Motorcycle Tire 120/70ZR-17 (58W), new, never mounted. Was supposed to go on the bike this summer but... Made 25/18. I would rather avoid shipping at this time, $80 for local pickup...

    Russell Day Long seat for 2nd gen

    My bike is gone and so needs to go the seat. I'm 6-0 and 190#, it fits me great, by far the best seat out there. No damages, rips or tears, looks pretty much new. $300 with local pickup or plus shipping. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1YN6DpSOIYvmsqINiVW33PLtdERTmY4cgwQ/view?usp=sharing...

    Carbtune around Seattle

    I had my bike in for valves check. All came out to the spec. After the service my bike is dying when fully warmed up and idle - looks like the RPM's are too low. Idle adjuster screw is all the way "in" (clockwise) and I cannot adjust the RPM's anymore. I had that issue once before when the same...

    What's that hose coming from the airbox

    I noticed that I lost about 1qt of oil over last 3500 miles. I started to look around for possible leaks. I found quite a bit of oil sprayed between engine block and air box and final drive. Looking closely I noticed the oil is most likely coming from the air box, the nipple that is supposed to...

    The hero of our times

    When I was a kid, I watched the show and I’ve seen Al as a loser I would NEVER want to become. Today I see him a bit different. Al Bundy may have not been an “American dream” showcase but he was in his 50’s and he stayed in shape like in his 30’s, he wasn’t fat and moved quickly. He had a...

    Good doctor will find a solution

    A woman comes to a doctor. All in bruises, swollen and beaten up. [Doctor]: O my god, what happened? [Woman]: Doctor, I don't know what to, my husband beats me all the time. He gets aggressive almost every day, drunk or not. For no reason at all. I'm totally exhausted. [D]: I think I know...

    Parking near the Seatac airport

    Do you know of any parking near the airport I could safely leave the bike and gear? I'm asking about the gear since my boots will most likely not fit in the bike bags. I'm flying back on Saturday/Sunday night landing at 1:30am thus a business type service would be needed, not someones driveway.

    Electric scoot

    As much as I laughed and made bad jokes (in fact I still do) about the obligation to leave your balls in the dealership upon the pickup of the Prius or Leaf type of inventions I have to admit I'm more and more intrigued by those... I drove friends volt once and was surprised by how reasonable...

    A day from a life of a couple

    Her: Today my husband was acting strange. We were planing to go in the evening to this new trendy restaurant in town. I wanted to look special for him so I went with for some shopping with Jenny and Monica, I came back a bit late. I assume he noticed that but he didn't say a word. We didn't...

    A girl I hooked up with...

    So I have to travel for work from time to time and we sometimes we end up in some hole in the middle of nowhere for couple nights. It was in southern Idaho, one of the big cities of approx 1500 locals some call people. One motel and one bar on opposite sides of the downtown, little creak flowing...

    I'm going out tomorrow 6/8/16 - join me

    I need to recover a day off from work and it seems like tomorrow, Wednesday 6/8 is going to be a perfect one to do so. It should be warm but not hot, dry but not sunny. I'm planning to make one of the two loops, not sure yet which, I have no preference. Leaving pretty early in the morning...

    Bagster tank cover and bag

    I got this cover from another member here on the forum (Here). It's silver and it doesn't really go with my "Ceruelan Silver" bike which is more of a blue. It will probably match great "Liquid Silver" of '03, probably also "10 and '11. Pictures below, for obvious reasons I didn't bother to mount...

    I bought an FJR - what to do now?

    And seriously, I registered to the forum in Oct 14 considering an FJR, now finally got one today. It's a 2006 FJR1300AE. It was apparently sitting for a year now in Ride Motorsports in Woodinville so they decided to get the price low enough and in just right time to call my attention. Like I...

    AE clutch feeling

    I was looking today at a 2008 FJR1300AE that I could be interested in. I didn't make a test ride but I did try it a bit stationary. I started the engine (it had to crank a bit) and with the brake on set the first gear. I was surprised with the strong push/kick and sound it made. Is it normal? I...
