I was just wondering what happened to the cow she was kissing on TV. Burger King? Bob

Well I guess the tires performance is more a combination of what the roads are made from than the tires alone. A tire that has a harder rubber has no problem on these commonly called chip sealed roads that are all over Colorado. I have read of riders getting 20000 out of ME 880 on the east...

I ride through Paradox a couple of times a year and am always beside myself. I and others are returning to Aether Theory of physics. It answers the conundrums created by Einstein. Bob

Thanks for the info Randy. Bob

The link didn't go through as I planned. It is in the steering section, part # 5. Bob

I am not sure if this is the problem. I had found out that I have a rubber O-ring between my 2 steering stem nuts. This made it impossible to maintain the torque, and the steering had loosened up even after I had put in the ALL Balls tapered steering bearings. I removed it and haven't had it...

So you put a plane in a long building point it west on the equator. Eliminate external wind, will it fly forward or backwards in relation to a point in space? No one ever said the atmosphere can't move in relation to the treadmill. The earth is still the conveyor belt. Even the treadmill in my...

My build date is today. When it gets here the only riding will be on the center stand in the garage. They closed I-70 both ways due to snow and accidents. That half moon design looks good. Bob

This one is just for fun. To bad this will be missed, Frozen Grandpa day Are you guys looking to sprint around the state, and try to see it in one weekend, or are you going to stop and take a whole bunch of pictures? If you can I would suggest the latter. The one thing I would do is get an...

It is funny what triggers one persons migraine and not others. I drink every morning a pot of coffee with Splenda sweetener. For a while I listened that the caffeine can cause migraines. I got off the coffee for a couple of years. Didn't make a difference. I am aware of the caffeine head...

If you are talking about myth busters, the one screw up they did was to say that Carlos Hathcock could not have killed another sniper by shooting them through the other snipers scope. The idiots used a .308 instead of the same 30-06 that Hathcock used. It is small details like this they omit...

Isn't this what happens when you point an aircraft to the west on take off. The plane is essentially moving back wards and still takes off. The earth is the tread mill, and the plane still lifts. Bob

I have seen a Super Cub (with tundra tires) hover at the end of the Juneau Air port waiting for a Alaska air lines 737 to land. There was 25 knot winds at the time. Why not , planes have been known to fly backwards in too much head winds. Can't you measure the lift of an aircraft in a wind...

I have a similar problem. Only difference is the bikes are all here staring me in the face. My first love is dirt riding, trails, cross country, and now highly technical trials type of riding we can find out here in Utah, and Colorado. On long trips there is nothing I have found more...

JeffAshe What is your weight? The reason I asked about the weight is I have never experienced the bounce of the front tire you and others have described. I weigh about 240 without gear, with gear and crap I carry, I am putting about 270 lbs to 290 lbs, one up riding. Bob

Thanks for all the info. I use the Racetech calculator to determine the spring rate I need for riding. I usually buy Eibach springs. The problem I am running into is Eibach only go up to 1.2 kg and I would like the 1.5 kg front. I am probably over the weight limit of the bike as it is...

I was looking at Racetech and their spring rate calculator for the 06 FJR, for my weight as one up rider (240lbs) I would need to replace the front fork springs to a 1.2kg rate spring. The rears just by swinging the lever to hard will be close. I was wondering why this bike felt too soft. Now...

DaveT You said it a lot nicer than I could. But then again I used to live in Denver. Never again. Bob

Scab What are you referring to? Bob

Come on, you guys got to be kidding. I have fun with the women. Example: My wife and my 2 sons wives are sitting around the table discussing the fact they will all be on at the same time. My comment was 'God this house is going to stink!". Then I told them the cats are going to start to...
