The jackass who hit him also had suspended/or revoked license and no insurance I believe, saw it on the news the other day here. There was a TV crew there and they caught it right after it happend, the car impaling the bike down the median and Bill crawling for his life out of the traffic onto...

This thing is great! I have not spent so little and had so much improved feel and decreased effort in my shifting! Excellent and would highly recommend it to anyone who is even remotely thinking about it. Best cost/improvement ratio farkle I've done yet. And by the way my drive shaft splines as...

Well, like I said I see only the repeat offenders. I would do a Google search on success rates for surgical intervention. I couldn't tell you the rates and you probably would have aas good a luck as me inlooking up this stuff. I hope your surgery goes well. Go see the "Save a Back" site if they...

That could be a survivable injury. I saw as bad as that live during my five years at the trauma center in Memphis but that Left leg looks like it gotta go soon if they don't get it revascularized (not to mention the left kidney, bladder, genitalia, rectum , descending colon, parts of the small...

Randy, The pain should go away from the injection in a few days and by then the long acting epidural steroids shouldbe working. I ama Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetistm (CRNA) and have done many of these type of injections as well as hundred and hundreds of labor epidurals. If you or...

Dana, I'm down in Cleveland TN (I'm the guy in the blue 'stitch that stopped to check on you) and could run up to Knoxville if you still haven't gotten anyone to get your stuff. I am free some this weekend and could run up there and strip it out for you on late Saturday (school carnival and all...

I like 'em all but some people are snobs thinking their type of riding is the only kind that anyone should enjoy. Its not just sport-touring vs cruisers, it HD vs everybody, its dirt vs street , its BMW vs any other sport-tourer, etc. There are so many kinds/types/classes of bikes out there that...

Another rider died Saturday AM when he crossed the centerline and hit a car head on about a 1/2 mile from the state line.

Always downshift as I slow down and use the brakes at the end of the stop to come to a complete halt. Like being in a gear I can accelerate out of anyone's way if I have too without shifting frantically to get in a low enough gear. I have always shifted this way in every car and one every bike...

It is a great site. He has had a few of the same bikes that I have had over the years.

I was thinking about 2 on an anterior cervical fusion as well (I am an anesthetist so I have done the anesthesia for a few of these). I would suggest a Throttlemeister, or even cheaper a throttle rocker (best cheap thing you can buy), bar risers (try MC Larry 6 degree ones) and lots of...

I do much better by myself and you don't have to time your stops based on someone else's bodily needs or their bikes need for fuel if they have a different type bike.

Have done 685 in a day and could have gone alot further if my buddy on his VMax would not call his wife every freakin' time we stopped fpr gas adn talked for 10 minutes. Could NEVER get gas in less than 30 minutes with this guy and we had to stop every 95 miles with him on the Max becasue fo his...

Sounds like a waterspout because of carp content.... :D I raise mine about 2/3 way up and the rain is blown down my shield like at the carwash. I think it depends on your size, how you sit, and probably the type of helmet you wear as well. I got caught in a similar storm going up onto the BRP...

Ditto Rogue

I'm glad they fixed 'em but I always had a fair amount of turbulence (at 70-90mph) that I never got rid of. Must be the way I'm built or something but I could never get get rid if it. Different shield, helmet and nothign I could do would help it. I always want a shield I can look over not thru...

Had an Illusion Blue '01. Did have the overheating thing (like people have said at low speed into a headwind below 10mph, radiators blew air out front of bike to keep rider from getting hot but into couldn't overcome the headwind so you would have essentially no air movement over the radiators)...

They do have some quirks. Like three different oil levels to check and maintain. My kickstand spring was peeled off on a curb in Sturgis, long story and once again as I pulled off road to help a dude who had just gone down on the Hwy 129 before it turns into the Dragon. One of the easiest...

Yeah that's three in the lat few weeks and another I know about in the last two months.I'm sure a few more may have slipped by without my notice. It is unreal how reckless some people are when they get up there. I mean a controlled track day would be appropriate for how some guys ride this road...

Question for WC and others with Russell seats. How do the wings impede your movement on the bike if you slide around on it in the twisties. It looks like the wings would get in your way if you're even slight hanging off or shifting your weight. Let me knw 'cuz I am looking for something to do...
