  1. Had A Flat, And A "well, Duh!" Moment. 27 Aug 2015 19:45 I'd rethink using a wire brush on the chain, as it can destroy the O-rings, a toothbrush soft may be an option.
  2. Vietnam - A Taste Of Everything 8 Feb 2014 18:34 Great pictorial as you always do........ Just my thoughts, but most of those bikes would have felt a lot better, had they been wearing tyres like the ones on your bike.......
  3. GoPro 28 Oct 2013 19:03 I just found this link : http://www.brorsoft....ovie-maker.html The program I might get is Brorsoft Video Converter for $35 If you get it, let us know how you like it......... Sounds good.......
  4. GoPro 28 Oct 2013 18:18 I've tried gp studio and it doesn't do to well, here's a "how to" I just found on gp/wmm ..... http://www.youtube.c...h?v=1Xvb4V2aFIs
  5. [Non Vfr] - 4 Nation Ride (Vietnam - Cambodia - Laos - Thailand) 10 Sep 2013 11:56 As always VietHorse..... Great pictures, that fisherman walking the wire wearing flip-flops, amazing.
  6. Handling, Running Out Of Rear Tire, Suspension Settings 5 Sep 2013 17:16 I think when ppl say they lower the pressure for the track vs's the road, it needs to be explained why it's ok to run lower AP on the track, because most ppl that set their bikes/cars up as a track racer think nothing…
  7. Handling, Running Out Of Rear Tire, Suspension Settings 3 Sep 2013 04:10 Agree 36psi front, 42psi rear(set tyre pressure while tyres are in the shade outside and tyres are cold). If they(air) aren't correct you'll not be using the correct tyre profile, straight, or in the turns(forget your…
  8. 2 Million Bikers To D.c. 24 Aug 2013 14:24 I wouldn't even go to Daytona during bike week, where it would be "FUN", much less DC which is a traffic nightmare on any given day. If they were going to oust our leaders, it might be worth the trouble.
  9. Tail Bag? 16 Aug 2013 00:03 A few years ago, one manufacturer came out with a hard shell (plastic) tail bag that sort of tapered to a point at the back , like a cafe racer's solo seat tail. It expanded vertically with expansion panels and zippers…
  10. Tail Bag? 15 Aug 2013 06:09 Thanks for the link, monk. I see that new enough doesn't sell the held bag. Where did you purchase yours? Also, cortech now has the super 2.0: http://www.motorcycl...2_tail_bag.html Has anyone used that?…
  11. Tail Bag? 15 Aug 2013 03:04 http://www.vfrdiscus...ags#entry761792
  12. Apology To My Bike. 2 Aug 2013 14:18 My 2 cents....... I run 87 reg. , but always go to name brand stations for the additives. Note: Cheap stations may or may not have additives, depends on where they get their fuel from, but NB's "DO" have additives. You…
  13. Deer Vs Vfr 9 Jul 2013 22:20 One on MC & one in car........ I feel for your pain........... One at dusk & one midday.
  14. La Conner Not Friendly To Motorcyclists--My Weekend Adventure 8 Jul 2013 14:47 For the sake of ppl that think no posted speed is an out for speeding, remember that there is a state speed limit when not posted, and that iignorance of the law is no excuse. There are signs around here that say end of…
  15. La Conner Not Friendly To Motorcyclists--My Weekend Adventure 8 Jul 2013 01:06 You should contact the AMA, that's what they do. I've seen in the past where they've changed some N. Eastern states and areas that were giving MC's a lot of crap like this. And, It would help for MC'ist to join the AMA.
  16. Tank Bag Or Tail Bag? 21 Jun 2013 20:27 I ride with this set up 24/7. My tank bag does stay on with magnets(and one retaining strap to the front fork top tree), and I just keep it clean, and have 45,000 with no scratches(opinions may vary). But I've had the…
  17. Close Call! 19 Jun 2013 06:18 Odds ... I'm 68 and have been riding my own road bikes since 1965, as time on the road grows, the more I find my self choosing areas that I need to be more careful in than the others where I don't. That still left me…

  19. When To Shift Weight In Corner 7 Jun 2013 15:20 :1: What he said.
  20. Throttle Hand Technique 7 Jun 2013 15:14 As a individual the amount of fingers will depend on your finger strength, and the brake systems ability to stop as short as possible(practice). Another thing to consider is leverage, the further out on the lever you…
  21. Teknic Out Of Business? 10 May 2013 11:13 I like their Gloves, gave me room for my thumbs.......... Sad to hear.
  22. Beemster? That Is Cheese No? 4 May 2013 20:26 Great pic's........ thx.
  23. Centerstand Hitting Midpipe After Swap 19 Apr 2013 21:37 If you can't find something else, I'd suggest having a plate welded to the centre stand so it will support it......... how thick the plate, is would be relevant to keeping the stand from touching the pipe, and take into…
  24. Soon.... 22 Mar 2013 14:28 Good to hear you white caps are starting to come out of hibernation.

  27. Removing Tank Without Key? 20 Feb 2013 16:51 There's a screw near the key slot , have you tried taking that out ? I don't know if it will help or not, but I've never seen one before.
  28. Fjord Norway 2012 Video Trailer 18 Jan 2013 18:35 Vimeo does not have these restrictions Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2 I guess I need to change to Vimeo, Utube has turned me off even wanting to do videos....... Anyone know how many min I can do using…
  29. Sport Riding Techniques 13 Jan 2013 04:13 It could be, but being new also can take a few min's as well to feel comphy on the bike. If it feels ok after 5 - 10 min. or does it feel nimble all the time? No matter what you want about 3 miles on cold tyres to warm…
  30. "free Musketeers" -> Road Trip - Rsa / Namibia / Lesotho 9 Jan 2013 23:58 Cool.......Thx
  31. Plasti-Dip Testing With Pics 15 Dec 2012 04:27 so you did a base of black then masked off over the black for the white stripe? i was thinking of doing my bike until new fairings find their way to my door but i wanted a white bike with black accents topped with the…
  32. Another Gopro Mounting System 12 Dec 2012 02:29 And visa versa , possibly a new way to mount gps as well.

  35. Painting vs plasti dip: Red black color scheme 28 Oct 2012 22:35 From what I've read it won't hurt to peel it after it's been on a long time.
  36. Painting vs plasti dip: Red black color scheme 28 Oct 2012 14:08 My Honda car forum ppl are plastic coating large sections all the time............Don't like it peel it off. Very thin layers to apply 3-4 coats, the thicker the coat the easier to peel off later. Here's a link that…
  37. Way too close for me 22 Oct 2012 16:43 Glad your choice worked for you. I'm usually at home at night, but I'm finding a lot more cars coming into my lane from cell/or other gadget users. Thanks for the reminder to watch out for the idiots..........
  38. Tire concerns from a newbie 22 Oct 2012 04:21 I'd like to carry on with this, most drops/slides are to much throttle while accelerating around sharp turns, same thing while braking to hard around turns. Most of it can also be learning to read the road surface(and…
  39. Accident Questions??? 16 Oct 2012 13:12 Sorry to hear about your mishap, don't forget to charge her for hit and run. She doesn't need to be out there on the road.
  40. Centennial Mileage 6th Gen 15 Oct 2012 04:42 Way to go ...... I've done that with 4 bikes in my life, it usually takes about 5 years a bike, but this bike I bought after I retired and am only half way of my usual milage...... think it most be age, or money,…

  42. 3G oil change schedule 6 Oct 2012 01:11 I know it's been a few miles since I've done my last oil change on my '91, so I looked up the recommended interval. The manual says (after the first one of course) the oil change interval is 8000 miles. 8000 miles? That…
  43. 3G oil change schedule 5 Oct 2012 16:53 Note to self (so I don't have to look all this up again): oil change on centerstand, check with dipstick resting on neck, next oil change before 41k, PL14610 Thanks all. Calling anyone with a 3gen ............ Does the…
  44. Fall is great for riding - except for the deer 3 Oct 2012 22:52 [image: View Post]V4 Rosso, on 03 October 2012 - 04:20 PM, said: I have never hit a deer, only once I came into slight contact with a 200lbs boar. I was going through a corner when it came running from out of the tree…

  48. Taken out by a kamakazi F#*n Deer 24 Sep 2012 20:47 [image: View Post]Polarbear, on 24 September 2012 - 12:11 PM, said: So, the laws of probability say that the chances of you hitting another deer, especially a kamikaze one, are pretty slum. So you should be in clear in…

  50. Taken out by a kamakazi F#*n Deer 21 Sep 2012 18:53 I empathize with your misfortune, truly ! Having hit two of those suckers(one on bike and one in car) in less than a year apart, it has for sure taken the speed off my riding style. The thing that people don't know that…
