  3. Eek, a mouse... 31 Jul 2011 20:31 Put some moth balls in tin foil, keeps critters away. Get a box of old school moth ball, wrap in tin foil, poke holes in tin foil. keeps the mice away.
  4. First Trip To the BRP and the Dragon 26 Jul 2011 03:35 Kevin, You are right. Didn't you get thrown outta that place and VFRD banned for life? lol, great place except for DRY county.
  5. New Tires but only half the balance! 10 Jun 2011 07:57 Find a new installer. Did you pay these guys? If they cannot do job the right way (no tool) the rear should be free. Why should you have to mess with it? Blue Water Tires, Gratiot and 24 mile…
  6. K&N air filter will never use it again 9 Jun 2011 17:42 Whatever air filter you decide to go with, after the install be sure to put some shredded cheese on top of it. This keeps the mice happy when they build a home in your airbox.

  11. Car oil in motorcycles, good or bad? 20 Apr 2011 04:32 Please no more or use the search function. Monk is right. MC oil is different than auto oil because it is SHEAR STABLE. SHEAR STABILITY means than a MC oil holds its viscosity better than auto oil as its whipped through…
  12. Michelin Pilot Road 3 12 Mar 2011 00:53 These tires will be FANTASTIC in the rain as are heavily siped. Stuff that a normal tire would slip on, these will hook up and be planted. Good tire to take on a long trip with gloomy forecast.

  31. Crossrunner Video 7 Nov 2010 02:11 I like the crossover...better than the 7th gen. But to me it looks like Honda said ..."What can we do with the 6th gen to remarket it?" looks like many, many parts from my VFR are on it. So maybe not so new just a…
