  1. MOTY battery durability 12 Mar 2013 02:29 I bought a MOTY on a group buy deal a year or so go. Worked fine for a few weeks, then one day it was just dead. Would not recharge. Now it's an expensive paper weight. Never again.
  2. Hi-Viz Helmets and clothing 27 Oct 2012 19:28 Hi-Viz gear does make it easier for the EMTs to find all of your body parts.
  3. Barber Vintage Festival 30 Sep 2012 16:55 I'm headed down two-up on Thursday 10/11 on the LT. Long ride for me. May take a slight detour west and do a Saddle Sore 1000 on the way down. Depends how late I have to work the night before. We'll see. Last time I…
  4. What Suspension for the non-racer? 23 Sep 2012 17:51 I picked up a 929 shock recently. I'm going to send it and my forks to Jamie.
  5. How do you clean your wheels? 23 Sep 2012 01:15 I wash my bikes maybe once a year or so, whether they need it or not. Dirt gets a bad rap.
  6. 8th Gen? RC213V slated for production in 2014 23 Sep 2012 01:08 I'm anxious to find out which oil will be best for it.
  7. Thinking of Trading a 98 VFR for a 94 Magna 10 Sep 2012 00:54 You're kidding, right? Right?
  8. Armored Hoody - DIY 28 Jun 2012 23:58 What purpose does the hood serve? Just a fashion statement, or to wear when off the bike?
  9. For those with lower pegs, what did you do for the brake lever? 25 Jun 2012 01:44 Mine didn't adjust far enough wor the Buell pegs I put on, so I took it off, heated it up, and put a slight double-bend in it.
  10. Motorcycle GPS 25 Jun 2012 01:11 I use a Garmin Nuvi 660 on the VFR and a Tom Tom Via 1500 on the K1200LT, and have ridden many thousands of miles on both, in all kinds of weather and temperatures. I just pull a zip lock bag over them if they start…
  11. "Water proof" jacket - worth it or not? Deciding on a new jacket. 2 Jun 2012 01:14 Get what you want for the riding you do/like.......... and buy a "Frogg" two piece, or just the top. http://www.froggtogg...Motorcycle.shtm +1 on that! Get the Frogg Toggs Horny Toadz two piece, with the jacket in…
  12. Enhanced license vs Passport 26 May 2012 20:56 There's also a "Passport Card" that is the size of a credit card and good for land and sea passage between the US, Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Bermuda. I have one in addition to my Passport.
  13. Pirelli Angel ST with 9,557 miles 26 May 2012 20:37 I'm looking forward to getting 10K on my Angel STs, but I'll believe it when it happens! Hope so!
  14. Alternative to Aerostitch Roadcrafter? 26 May 2012 20:07 Does the Transit have a 360-degree pants-to-jacket zipper so it would be acceptable for track days?
  15. Zumo & TomTom are Obsolete 19 May 2012 22:35 I like the accurate speedo and the ETA features.
  16. How old are our VFR owners? 6 May 2012 01:37 I'll be 66 this July 6. I recently got a BMW K1200LT so the wife would be more comfortable on long trips. She is, but I'm not. It's a nice bike, but very uncomfortable, and isn't near as much fun to ride as my VFR. I…
  17. Harley makes boats? 2 May 2012 20:45 Shit floats? Who knew? (I keed. I keed you.)
  18. My Sargent Seat Story... 1 Apr 2012 17:53 [image: View Post]Monk, on 31 March 2012 - 11:48 AM, said: If you think the thigh seams will rub, then till them so the can shim out that area ......... Wish I'd have been aware of that when I got mine. That's the only…

  20. Stator to RR connector 22 Mar 2012 01:50 Use heavier gauge wire, and totally eliminate the connector. Josh at http://www.wiremybike.com has about everything you will need.
  21. SAE to Mini USB power cable - does it exist? 22 Mar 2012 01:36 Jim at Eastern Beaver http://www.easternbeaver.com will make up just about any cord you could want. If an SAE to mini-USB is possible, he will do it.
  22. Pitching A Tent - Best / Smallest Tent For Bike Camping 1 Mar 2012 02:44 didit I've searched the sight and found good reviews on the Kelty Grand Mesa 2, but at $200US it's a bit much for my meager plans. I googled it and it seems you can get it for a bit under $100.00 shipped.
  23. Loud horns save lives 8 Jan 2012 20:59 I installed a Stebel some time ago, but wouldn't bother if I had to do it over again. It's loud, but the cagers still don't hear it. With their windows closed, well insulated vehicles, music on, and that oblivious…
  24. OFF TOPIC CONTENT - communication devices while driving - Closed 14 Dec 2011 19:47 A destructed person will be destructed by anything. There are plenty of destructions when behind the wheel other than talking on the phone. Like talking to someone in the car. Is that going to be outlawed as well? Come…
  25. OFF TOPIC CONTENT - communication devices while driving - Closed 14 Dec 2011 19:44 Next they need to control the deer from crossing our roads. That's an easy one. It's called year-round open season deer hunting. Sure could feed a lot of people while at the same time save some lives. Deer are so thick…
  26. OFF TOPIC CONTENT - communication devices while driving - Closed 14 Dec 2011 19:34 Life is a risk. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. That's how I like it. I don't want big brother telling me what I can and can't eat, wear, listen to, or whatever. I'd rather take my chances. We have more than…
  27. Lazy Traffic Lights 16 Oct 2011 21:25 Happens to me often. I run them. No patience. Haven't been stopped yet for doing so.
  28. Zumo & TomTom are Obsolete 11 Oct 2011 20:30 Do you have to have a bare finger for the touch screen to work like an iPhone? If so, you'll have to sew those strand thingies into the fingertips of your glove, won't you? (Can you tell I've never used a Droid?)
  29. Eek, a mouse... 25 Sep 2011 19:03 Just keep in mind, PETA never sleeps.
  30. Gyro Camera (mount)?? 25 Sep 2011 18:47 How about adapting this... https://www.buygyrob...chan=G&data1=TM

  32. Shorai Battery Failed Today 29 Aug 2011 15:09 [image: View Post]KPerham, on 29 August 2011 - 06:14 AM, said: Test that sealed the diagnosis for me was continuity to ground from the plug. Unplug from the R/R and test for continuity to ground on the frame, or even on…
  33. Confrontation with Harley guy. 21 Aug 2011 19:28 I have nothing against Harleys, they're just not for me right now. I do recall that during my two trips to the dragon and environs, about the only riders I had to pass were those on HDs, and a lot of them, and I'm no…
  34. Confrontation with Harley guy. 21 Aug 2011 13:58 The only things HD that ever interested me were Buells and the XR1200 (nostalgia, I guess). I did buy something from the local HD shop once - Buell footpegs for my VFR.
  35. Finally touched a peg down on the VFR.... 11 Jul 2011 14:35 I scraped a peg in my garage once. :laughing6-hehe: No plastics damage, thanks to the Slider.
  36. New Bell RS-1 experience 8 Jul 2011 02:58 Did you get the Shattered or Panic Zone, both very cool, as are the other choices!
  37. Wiring up power source for GPS/cell phone charger 5 Jul 2011 21:04 [image: Posted Image] I put everything in my Marsee tank bag and ran one power cord to my stem socket, kind of like the above drawing. I've changed the configuration to support my iPhone, but you get the idea.
  38. VFR no longer in demand? 26 Jun 2011 14:28 I'd consider buying a second '98 if it was low mileage and completely stock. I'd continue to use my existing one that's set up for two-up touring for when the wife wants to tag along (which is often), and use the stock…
  39. How do you lock up your helmets if you have side bags? 26 May 2011 19:50 I use a cable lock long enough for two helmets, jackets, and pants. A bit bulky, but it works.
  40. 6th gear 16 Apr 2011 15:23 [image: View Post]SEBSPEED, on 13 April 2010 - 05:03 AM, said: I can't be the only one that doesn't pay attention to what gear I'm in... I just keep the bike around 5k for cruising - and row the box for "cruise…
  41. *** tippy toe rider**** 15 Apr 2011 17:33 Very nice looking. The bike, too.

  43. Quick question for 5th gen extender owners... 23 Mar 2011 18:14 I broke my right GSXR (EMGO?) lighted mirror stem in half. Where can I get a replacement? (sorry for the hi-jack)
  44. Turning left VS's turning right 21 Mar 2011 16:44 Would this question be easy or difficult to answer for a Cyclops? I think I like rights better. Don't know which eye is dominant. If you're right handed, is your right eye dominant?

  47. Installing Racetech Gold Valves 10 Mar 2011 18:49 Slammer - Can't you provide some better detail? :laughing6-hehe: Nice, and very helpful.
  48. Your Favorite place / Where would you like to go? 8 Mar 2011 18:50 If possible this year, but if not then next year, I'm going to ride the Trans-Labrador highway. The third and final section is now open. Long ride, and about 90% gravel. If I can find and afford a low-mileage used…
  49. Mobil 1 Racing 4T 10W-40 3 Mar 2011 22:21 Someone said they get Mobil 1 4T at Wal-Mart. Not where I live; they only carry the regular Mobil 1 (not 4T). PEP Boys, and other outlets around here also do not carry the 4T. Only place I can get it is at my local…
  50. Mobil 1 Racing 4T 10W-40 2 Mar 2011 18:55 Over $11.00 a quart at my local MC dealer. I've got to find something less expensive.
