  1. Help! 12 Jun 2012 02:34 I don't know why this worked, but it did. I took apart the gearshift linkage, and checked all that out. Looked great. When I was buttoning everything back up, though, I noticed that I had two rubber pieces that didn't…
  2. Help! 10 Jun 2012 21:16 Alright. I've found a wonderful fellow bike rider in Tacoma, WA, and I'm staying at his house while I look things over a little more in depth. I spoke with a (seemingly) very knowledgeable Honda tech and he pointed out…
  3. Help! 8 Jun 2012 02:39 Alright, I'm resurrecting this thread. I'm now in Crescent City, CA. The bike, until yesterday, was running just fine after the oil change. In fact, I changed the oil again while in New Mexico, along with a clutch bleed…
  4. Lapping the Continent, Sort of... 4 Jun 2012 02:24 Hey RedShed, I'm sorry too. I hope you didn't get too drenched. I'll get down there again one of these years, certainly.
  5. Lapping the Continent, Sort of... 3 Jun 2012 02:30 Thanks for the good words, folks. I have Internet again, so I thought I'd give another update. But before I do, mods, should this move to ride-reports? It's still kind of both, so I don't know. At any rate, I left off…
  6. Lapping the Continent, Sort of... 26 May 2012 22:20 Hello from Savannah, GA, everybody! I thought I'd update this thread now that I've found some Internet service. I'm just about 1000 miles away from home now, a mix of Interstate and back roads. I had a little trouble…
  7. Help! 26 May 2012 22:00 Thanks for all the replies, guys. I went ahead and changed the oil (in the parking lot of an Autozone, he he), and that seems to have helped. I made it to Savannah, GA with nary an issue. When I find a little more…
  8. Enhanced license vs Passport 26 May 2012 21:35 Passport is the way to go. Just got mine for a trip up north. It was easy . By comparison, New York State wanted my firstborn (and most of the cost of a passport, anyway) for an EDL.
  9. Help! 25 May 2012 23:09 Yes, checked the oil. I changed the oil before I left and the level hasn't changed at all. Clutch fluid looks alright, no change. No sign of any leakage.
  10. Help! 25 May 2012 22:26 Hello all, I'm about 680 miles into a very long trip, currently in Greensboro, NC heading down to Key West. At any rate, I've developed a problem, I think. Six or seven times today the bike wouldn't shift into first. It…
  11. tire change with staintune 7 May 2012 00:05 I couldn't do it. I just wound up taking the pipe off.
  12. Cool idea, or just silly? 17 Apr 2012 19:27 I think it's a great idea. If it's anywhere near my during my trip this summer (see the "Lapping the Continent, Sort of..." thread), I'd be thrilled to have it for a day.
  13. Lapping the Continent, Sort of... 14 Apr 2012 00:57 Thanks for the Pirelli tip. I was just planning on going the Pilot Road route the whole way. Might as well have an extra bit of grip where it's needed. Can you give me a sense of the mileage on those tires?
  14. Lapping the Continent, Sort of... 13 Apr 2012 13:09 Wow, thanks for the pictures. I'm definitely going to have to spend some time in that part of the world.
  15. Lapping the Continent, Sort of... 13 Apr 2012 00:12 Have any of you guys done the Beartooth highway up in Montana? I think I'm probably going to cross back into the US near the Waterton Lakes national park, and then bum on down and ride the Beartooth. It looks amazing:…

  21. Lapping the Continent, Sort of... 11 Apr 2012 14:02 So this summer I'm taking a trip that I've been planning and thinking about for the last eight years. The idea came for the trip whilst perusing the Iron Butt Association's rides. The one that really caught my eye was…
  22. SAE to Mini USB power cable - does it exist? 22 Mar 2012 15:03 This might be an option: http://www.twistedth...ctview/7224/90/ I can't speak to 5v vs. 12v, but I can't imagine the dudes that made it didn't take it into consideration.
