There is no safety device or strategy that works 100% of the time in all conditions. Even with safety belts in a car, there have been a handful of instances where people have been trapped and died who might otherwise have gotten out of the car and lived without the safety belt. However, nobody...

It depends how bad you want them. You might be able to get them at a Harley dealer. I think that Harley Electric Gloves are made by Gerbing. Just make sure to park out back when you pick them up! :yahoo: I had a pair for three years and only sold them because I thought I'd never ride again...

Fantastic! Thanks, I'll give it a try. Thanks to everyone who replied. I bought the bike used, but I don't think it has been lowered. I couldn't get my GS Adventure up on the centerstand until someone showed me how. Then it was easy.

I looked for an answer to this, but I couldn't find it (although I'm sure it's been addressed before). Is there a trick to getting the bike up on the center stand? I tried multiple times, but couldn't get it to work. Thanks.

The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits - Mark Twain.

The Throttle spring adjustment is in my future (over the winter) and I have a throttle lock, so I'm not sure about Cruise Control. I had some of the same misgivings as you and when I had cruise control on my Harley, I only used it periodically to give my hand a break.

This is obviously a plot by rich capitalist military-industrial pigs to keep the proletariat from fairly competing in their facist race, while they hide in anonymity. When we come into power, the first thing we will do is burn everyone's Spot. Then we will send them hunting with Dick Cheney...

Thanks. I've decided to go with leather, but your post really seals the deal. Thanks for the report!

I would be interested to see what they say.

I just bought my FJR a few weeks ago and today is the first "kind of cold" day I've ridden it. Lessons learned:   37 degrees is colder than it sounds I should have hooked up the harness for my electric gloves instead of watching reruns of Buffy the Vampire Slayer last weekend. Electric...

Sounds Good!

Thanks to everyone for their input. I think leather wins the vote count (after looking at other threads).

I put 45,000 miles on a velour seat on an Ultra. It was sweet, but this time around I'm going to go with vinyl or leather and an Alaskan Leather sheepskin. Thanks for the link. And it's good to know I'm carrying on an annual tradition!

I ordered a Bill Mayer seat today. They gave me the 25% October discount even though I'm a day late. The woman I spoke with indicated that the leather would require motr care than the vinyl and that it's not good to let it get wet. I travel a lot on my bike (and I'm pretty lazy) and am concerned...

I was in my car (Thank God) coming from the Starbucks on 85, turning left to get onto 270 North and hit a patch of something slippery. About 500 yards up the road (just before the ramp to 70) a truck was pulled over with an obvious trail of something leaking out of it. If you are riding in that...

Thanks to everyone for their feedback. I'm going to call Monday and see if I can still get the deal. I'm betting the answer is yes.

As you may know, Bill Mayer is having a 25% off sale and free shipping. That brings the price of a vinyl seat down to $381. I've been thinking about this for a couple of weeks. I've looked at previous posts on this subject and the opinions are mixed. Let's settle this once and for all :lol...

I've had the FJR for less than a month so I've only put about 800 miles on it so far this year. I've put a little over 8,000 miles on my Harley Fatboy this year. I've put right about 1,500 miles on my Road Star this year. I'm in the DC area, so I often ride up until the middle of December...

In the ORIGINAL Greek it says Gen I. :lol:

I'm not saying you are wrong. I just have a hard time with the "Love your enemies" thing.
