    Kudos to Yamaha

    The letter I received seemed to still blamed the rider on how they ride the bike. But still they will replaced the ECU. It seems Yamaha is always fixing a created problem. (My dirt bikes, always has a new fix for the previous years boo-boo) They are still, in my opinion miles ahead of BMW and...

    Any place except Denver and the surrounding area. Estes Park, Steamboat Springs, Gunnison, Lake City, Glenwood Springs, Carbondale, Aspen, Vail on and on. But not Denver, it is a pit. (the ninth wonder of the the world, a mile high hole) I am sure that where ever they pick, the safety and...

    Shinko Ravens

    I have a little over 4000 miles on mine. The rear looks as if I will get another 2- 4000 out of them. These definitely are a harder compound tire. They were exactly what I was looking for. They already have surpassed the stones that came with the bike in longevity and handling. I don't see any...

    Tall Riders

    I'm 6-5 also, and just did about 1200 miles the past week, 600 a day. The problem is this bike has every thing I want in a bike, but comfort. I prepped for the rides by taking Advil, putting on a Icy Hot patches on the Lower Lumbar of my back. Still the knees hurt like hell, from the 8-10...

    Is there a neurologist in the house?

    I get severe migraines also. Last one was this last weekend. It was a migraine and sinus head ache together, nothing to do but take medications and suffer. Interesting statement on hydration, It may have been a factor on my last migraine. A trigger I never heard about. I did a 10 hour ride...

    FJr The perfect bike for 30 - 60 degree riding

    The Most Dangerous Method of Commuting...? Don't tell Fang!

    Throat mic

    I have an older set, they do work, and very clear - (IF), You have to find the correct spot on your throat, Other wise they will sound muffled. I had a hard time keeping them in the right place while riding. I found myself constantly adjusting them back to where my voice was clear. I was...

    Who's running Shinko Ravens?

    Well finally got to use the Ravens in a typical Prescott AZ down pour. No surprises, tracked well, and displaced water well. Actually the people were surprised that when I pulled into the parking lot, I had a huge smile on my face, even though I was soaked. Funny thing was, my son pulled up...
