    Who for Suspension?

    This ^^^ In 2006, I had Traxxion Dynamics rebuild the forks with their AK-20 set-up on my 2nd Honda CBR1100XX Blackbird at 3,500 miles, with a Penske on the rear. Excellent suspension. In 2010, I did a ride-in to GP Suspension on my FJR at ~ 35,000 miles to have them rebuild the front...

    There is NO good reason ever to argue with a LEO on the scene. Even less to be a memorable asshole. I wont go so far as to staight up admit to the charges, but am always polite and sincerely contrite. Otherwise, I agree with everything pants says. I will almost always contest the citation in...

    Zilla - pretty sure Bounce's use of the word "entrapment" in a traffic context was a tongue in cheek play on the physical circumstance of being boxed in as much as an attempt at comedy. And the part you call bullshit re: being an excellent driver eludes me, too. I am painfully aware of how...

    Northern California Riders

    Teri and I are going. Current intention is to leave the Saturday before, going to Caldwell, Sandpoint and Radium Hot Springs before heading up Icefields Parkway to Jasper. Then on to Nakusp. Heading back may include Glacier NP (Going to the Sun Rd.), Beartooth Hwy and Yellowstone before heading...

    Yessir, sounds like wisdom to me, Ray. Not to mention that you would probably also have a better won/lost record pitching in the major leagues. JSNS

    versus Serious and respectfully intended question: how does one decide whether the issues these two statements address are equivalent or not? I mean: isn't the central issue really about who gets his or her way, who makes the decision and/or who gets to exert control over a situation?

    oops

    Ray, the one I learned recently is "that makes sense." Then shut up; she's either right or is going to be. Pure gold as a shortcut end to a half hour argument, while keeping yer smart ass completely outta jail. And for you male types who do not understand, please refer to the "Bull Durham"...

    EXACTLY, Bounce!!! As motorcyclists, I think we're especially sensitive about the dangers posed by other motorists, and therefore seek to ride or drive in an uncongested space that maximizes our margin of safety.* But I have never heard a better expalantion of what seems to be going on with too...

    What's the Weather like where YOU are today?

    Good, then you're not out shoveling and making the hernia worse.

    What's the Weather like where YOU are today?

    Mid-morning and it's mid 50s at 3,000 feet and raining lightly here. Not raining hard enough for bugnatr to need to be out riding, but maybe he could adjust for that by riding in his underwear only. Just read that frozen iguanas are falling out of the trees there in Florida, Howie - that's...

    Stop it, Ray. Hoping the hernia operation is a straight forward success, . . . and that you stop hurting yourself.

    Fascinating what you can do with that thing!

    Riding stats for the year 2017

    You guys don't know "embarrassingly low miles!" Sheesh, my humiliating number in 2017 is 636 miles, almost all related to YFO. I'm hoping that 2018 includes a return to higher mileage.

    CFR 2018 - WooHoo! Registration is going LIVE November 1st!

    I assumed that Richard's attendance was a non-starter once BC implemented the strict performance award penalty of impoundment following Barb's WCR rally on Vancouver Island in 2010. MEM and I followed him (at some distance and blinding speeds) across the island to Tofino and back, and there...

    Galveston County, Karl. The info you may need, though, is whether it was impounded before or after the hurricane and where. I wanna know about #7 - WTH is this 800cc Kwak that was busted at 155 mph?

    Well, . . . since it's NEPRT now . . . **** me, then; it's Niehart's FAULT!!! His choice of "Other Bike / Bike Related Discussions" was internally inconsistent with the subject matter of the top 20 report he tried to inform us of. Maybe all of us can be punished! I mean, c'mon -- where in...

    I did it, spoke of speeding in California, that is. I'd have been fine if you had left your post as calling me out, FWIW. But a couple serious questions: (1) Just curious, but what area did Dave start the thread in? I failed to pay attention to that since I did not imagine I was straying from...

    Imagining how shitty that must feel to get a performance award at that much over the limit. My . . . BAD (Edited because I have caused others not to be able to have nice things. Apologies for maliciously assuming that this thread was about speeding and enforcement. Apparently, Texas venue...

    Bearly Flying (Don Peterson)

    So sad to read this. I always enjoyed reading Don's contributions to the forum, always thought them to be principled and adult, and admired his commitment to and love for his late wife that he freely disclosed. I finally met Don at CFR 2009 and was struck by his kind and calm demeanor in what I...
