    California Central Coast

    Except those of us who call this area home :rolleyes: Have Fun, the weather has certainly been cooperative for you, although watch out for that Black Ice in the mornings on those inland rides. :blink: I'll be thinkin about ya from work :(

    Last race of the 800's......

    The big surprise to me was Bautista. The Suzk just keeps getting better, although it was wet, but still. I bet they are sad to see the 800 era end...just when they start getting it together :blink: And then its still not sure if the factory will return next year :huh: :huh: And yes, Go...

    track bike for me?

    Yeah, you need to decide what type of bike you want....a sportbike (CBR, GSXR, Ninja,) or possibly something more upright (KTM Duke, Aprilia Tuono, Kawi Z1000). My 53 year old knees can't take the sportbike too much longer so I'll probably be selling my GSXR track bike and if I decide to keep...

    The Toy Hauler Travel Trailer

    We've got a 30 foot Class A motorhome and pull a 7X10 enclosed trailer that fits both bikes. We've done Arizona (Grand Canyon), Southern Utah (Bryce and Zion), and next year hopefully will do southern Colorado. You can't really consider this camping, as RV parks have all the amenities and your...

    Holy Cow AMA Superbike

    AMA Pro Racing (DMG) has made a MAJOR turnaround, and they continue to make the right decisions. https://www.roadracingworld.com/news/article/?article=45939 If more folks watched the racing this year I'm sure we would have greater attendance at the races and more TV viewership, which means...

    FJRF009.2: "Intermittent Ground Wire Connection"

    I agree, Option C. The concensus is that the Brodie Harness is a much more robust and thorough fix to the problem.

    FJRF009.2: "Intermittent Ground Wire Connection"

    Well, went without a glitch. Dropped the bike off Wed night, picked it up on Thursday. Recall,plugs,TBS, all completed. Went back in today to hook the Brodie Harness back in and completed that. All is well :yahoo: :yahoo:

    Grounding Harness

    Thats exactly what I'm going to do. Have it scheduled to take the bike in tomorrow. Disconnected S4 and reinstalled spider and black cap last night. I confired with Brodie that in the interim, having just the S4 disconnected that the bike will run with no issues....re-installing the spider and...

    FJRF009.2: "Intermittent Ground Wire Connection"

    I'm scheduled to take mine in tomorrow. I PM'd Brodie to confirm that if I disconnect his harness at S4 and re-install the spider and black cap that the bike would still run with no issues, which he confirmed. My intention is to have the recall done, then disconnect the recall harness at S4...

    Grounding Harness

    OK, I've been watching the other thread mainly, waiting for any of the Brodie Contingenent to post up about their experiences with getting the recall work done with the Brodie harness (BH) installed and what exactly they did....but no one has yet. So, as I haven't seen anything, I'll ask here...

    Sena SMH-10/iPhone 3GS/Garmin Streetpilot Eval

    What model did you get? Looking at the website shows the cheapest version of their motorcycle plugs at $350...with the most expensive at $1400 :dribble:

    What stupid manuever others have done on the road!

    Good Lessons to be learned by all this. Mine was just last week. Wife on the back coming back from Santa Rosa visiting my brother. Decided to take a detour after crossing the Golden Gate Bridge and take the beach route. Well, we had 30-40 mph winds that day that created sand drifts on the road...

    Has anybody used the "Autocom" system?

    Based on how you worded your post, I'm taking it that you haven't done much research on the various systems out there. First thing is determining what you really need. I doubt the system at casporttouring comes with the radio that would enable bike to bike communication (with bikes that have...

    Update on Cali State Route 1 Closure

    They've established one way traffic through that area via lights. There is an additional closure south of Gorda that is also creating trouble for us southern locals that like to make lunch runs up to Big Sur. If you enter from Monterey, you can now get through to Big Sur, but you can't get to...

    NASCAR vs AMA racing

    Yeah, not sure what rule book you're looking at, but that reference is not from the 2011 rule book. If you look at the 2011 rule book, paragraph 2.23 © (iii), it says nothing about being placed at the back of the grid after servicing during a red flag.

    NASCAR vs AMA racing

    Boy, a bunch of cynics in the bunch, but I guess thats human nature to a degree. The new rule was simply that Teams were now allowed to work on their bikes during a red flag period. Previously, they couldn't. Did anyone envision an engine swap during a red flag? I don't think so. Typically red...

    sbk race highlights

    Wasn't that the worst? The font on the rider/bike information was so small you couldn't read it and then the things you pointed out, it was just terrible. Makes me want to go satellite instead of cable as they provide the HD feed from Speed. My cable company doesn't. :angry2:
