  1. Gear selector indicator... 22 May 2019 17:04 I had the gear indicator drop out on me this morning. I was downshifting to avoid traffic and it’s not have done it forcefully enough. Once I shifted again and it had time to think, the indicator returned.
  2. Dodging exploding tractor trailer tires 6 May 2019 16:38 It happens on I-285 here in Atlanta and in that section it is 4 lanes each way. The truck was 4-5 car lengths in front of me and one lane to my right. I was very lucky I was not directly behind him and I was wearing my…
  3. Dodging exploding tractor trailer tires 4 May 2019 14:47 So I had an interesting ride home from work yesterday afternoon. I had just gotten on the highway and a tractor trailer tire exploded right in front of me. Luckily there were not any other cars around me so I took some…

  5. Parking garage sensors 27 Apr 2019 14:05 I had good results this morning stopping right on the cut out line. I didn’t need to put the side stand down. Great news, one less roadblock to my daily bike commuting!
  6. Parking garage sensors 24 Apr 2019 17:44 I did some experimenting today and think I have a solution. If I stop directly on top of the cutout lines and put the side stand down, I was able to get past both gates. I will have to do some more experiments tomorrow.…
  7. What did you do to your VFR Today? 23 Apr 2019 16:18 Finally got my bike tagged and legal in Georgia this morning. Drove to work down I-285 in Atlanta. Lots of fun dodging traffic at 80+mph.
  8. Parking garage sensors 23 Apr 2019 15:43 I had a heck of a time getting out of my parking garage this morning because the buried sensors can’t see my bike . Where I live has a parking garage and there are 2 gates. For both gates I have an access card that lets…
  9. What did you do to your VFR Today? 11 Apr 2019 03:46 Pulled by bike out of storage and loaded on Uhaul trailer for the 800+ trip from Kansas City to Atlanta. Now just need to get it tagged here. Looking forward to the interesting Atlanta traffic on the bike!
  10. 8Th Gen Tail Tidy 4 Feb 2019 17:26 With the advancement/price reduction in 3D printers, has anyone printed out a solution?
  11. Suggestions for GPS recovery device? 3 Feb 2019 14:55 I am looking for recommendations for a GPS recovery device for my 2014 VFR. Living in Atlanta losing my bike to theft is a unfortunate possibility. I have seen many different GPS devices, some battery operated and some…
  12. Moving a bike 800 miles looking for ideas 27 Dec 2018 02:18 I bought my bike from this dealer in north east Iowa and hauled it back to Kansas City. I got it home on the back of a rented full-size pickup truck. Loading was easy at the dealership and for unloading I stopped at my…
  13. Moving a bike 800 miles looking for ideas 26 Dec 2018 02:29 The fun part will be arranging air travel and coordinating that with a good weather weekend.
  14. Moving a bike 800 miles looking for ideas 26 Dec 2018 01:47 Thanks for all the suggestions. I think I am going to wait a couple months and just fly up and ride the bike down. Maybe March or so. I can go either through St Louis or down south route so I should be able to avoid too…
  15. Moving a bike 800 miles looking for ideas 24 Dec 2018 20:58 A few months back I got a new job and moved to Atlanta (from Kansas City). The move was sort of last minute and I ended up storing my bike instead of moving it with me. I am trying to find out the best way to get the…
