I have this problem of the umbrella too. I've got a lot of different policies. The motorcycles never created problems. But farm premises liability insurance and rental property insurance have both caused trouble. My present solution is to put the whole lot with Farm Bureau and then they'll...

It was some stranglehold that Alberto PUig had on Repsol management that kept logic from being applied ... that, and the raging debate over Dani's charm vs. his inability to close the deal. NOT. PUig knew something about someone. It was nice for Dani when PUig faded into the background...

Well, they've kept Pedrosa for more than a decade now, so winning isn't everything. No one is more charming than Dani. Eventually Marquez will go to Ducati for the big money, like Rossi and Lorenzo ... unless Ducati has learned their lesson. Naahh ... what are the chances of that. I'm hoping...

Marquez has all the charm of Lorenzo.

67% But how do you really feeeel about it? 🙉🤔😴

If you can't feel it, or hear it, you should forget about it.

Glad you're ok. I would not take a motorcycle into commuter traffic on a bet any more. I did not have any serious close calls. But I am observant. And I love my life. I do still ride in fast moving interstate traffic, but not around the cities. I spend most of my ride time on open interstates...

I've had four Gen IIs. 06, 08, 09x2. All AEs. Maybe a bit more grip buzz in the 06 than in the others. They've all had about the same zip. The most fun was the 08 when I put a set of Pilot Powers on it.

Wouldn't you like to own a bike that could follow down the hall like a dog? You could put a blanket on it and take it into the store as a "service" bike. 🤥

If this was posted, I missed it. My monthly copy of the Society of Automotive Engineers magazine showed up today, and there was an article about Honda's presentation of an autonomous motorcycle at the CES. There was no link to share, but googling identified this on the same bike...

some guy who wasn't there wrote =("Fred W") ************** I'll bet you were one of the ones screaming and cheering. ************ No, I was one of the ones collecting data and writing observations.

Folks who compare eclipse to night are woefully ignorant of what actually happens during totality. The view of 360 degree sunset, Bailey's beads, diamond ring, corona, and shadow snakes are not present in "night." If you haven't seen it, don't knock it. I was far more impressed than I...

I have friends who are so trusting that they leave their jacket, helmet, and gloves on the bike when they go into a restaurant. Personally, I never leave gear on the bike, except in locked saddle bags. I've had too much stuff stolen over my lifetime to be so trusting. Great dealer support though!

Good assessment. That's why it was so easy to sort to NEPRT. Everyone buys gas and drives nearly every day. So everyone knows all they think they need to know about this. My take on it is "Who cares? It's a free market. Let the marketing guys catch their lawful prey."

If you want to be chatted up by soccer moms, certainly red helps. But when I had a red FJR, I was traveling with a fellow who was riding a Red Moto Guzzi Norge. We would park them next to each other, and men and women alike would gaze at the Guzzi, backs turned to the FJR. Another one that...

When I was teaching, I would often have students from Germany in my classes. This always gave me a chance to exercise my German language skills, and the students were typically positive about this sort of interaction. At the end of the term, I would take them over to Linderhof, and we would...

There's a reason this theead's in NEPRT. Imagine how high some of our post counts would be if NEPRT posts were added to our counts 🙈🙉🙊.

Never mind 😱

Two years newer and 20% of the miles? What's to ask here? It's a no brainer. Now if you could get the 2014 for $8,000, it would be harder to choose. I'd still go for the newer model myself. When you go to sell in 2022, the '14 will be 8 years old / think 2009 today.

Do you really need to do it that frequently? The cost seems reasonable (if you've had the pleasure of doing the job yourself ... what a mess). I would have thought that you might get away with every other year. In vinyl Hi Fi we replace phono cartridges every 1000 hours, a $1.81/hr will get...
