    WOOHOO Skyway sliders do work

    Dropped mine second time out while turning around in a shaded area . Did not realize until too late that I was on an slight slope . I tried to stop it, but one scroney leg was not enough. I did give it a soft landing but it ended up giving me knee surgery. LET IT GO ! Especially if you have...

    Blowin in the wind

    Now that you mention it , turning around was a little hairy , but I am still glad I did . Your also right about the fact that I will not forget this ride anytime soon .

    Blowin in the wind

    I'm not sure what the wind speed was , I would have to guess 40+ . I was riding out hwy 78 toward Santa Ysabel . The further out I got the stronger it got . There were some strong gusts at first . As I would come around a bend I could kinda anticipate the gusts by looking at the trees blowing ...

    Thanks for the input . I could'nt stand it any more, there was a break in the weather and I have the day off so I jumped on the bike and took it to one of my favorite roads ( mesa grande) for a good test run . Liked the results , there Is a steep climb with a lot of tight switchbacks . Its a...

    G2 Throttle Tamer

    Just installed the G2 I recieved a few days ago . Not sure what type of change they might have made ? The grip went on pretty easy , and it seems to rotate and return same as the original tube I removed . I still have not been able to put much time on the bike due to rain , but the test run I...

    G2 Throttle Tamer

    Thanks for pointing out the profile ommision. I'm new to the site and kinda weak on computer skills . As for the G2 mod , I have not put more that a few miles on the bike since I just installed it last night, so I guess I shouldn't be touting its greatness so quickly . I did how ever feel a...
