  1. Learning Curve �Numb Hands, Throttle Control. Body Position 28 Apr 2012 04:18 I got back to riding about 3-1/2 years ago (after 25 years to get two kids through college).

  2. OEM panniers vs. Givi V35 PLX bags 26 Oct 2011 02:49 Here is my spin on it. givi is cheaper, the OEM panniers are keyed to your key and the right pannier has a heat shield to protect it from heat exhaust!! Not sure if the givi has it. I also change out my OEM exhaust and…
  3. Mixing Tires 15 Oct 2011 21:15 This morning I switched from the BattleAx 021 front to a Michelin Pilot Power 2CT (just as the weather has "turned", which in Houston means morning lows in the high 50s and highs in the low 80s. Quite nice, actually,…

  13. OEM panniers vs. Givi V35 PLX bags 3 Oct 2011 04:03 I have the V35 Givi Panniers. I try to avoid riding in the rain, not because I'm worried about the bike, but because Houston drivers have a habit of SPEEDING-UP in the rain,and they drive REALLY BIG Pickup trucks. Last…
