    Winter Sucks!

    I just got back in from blowing the snow off my driveway, and breaking the ice off my gutters, to read this. Well, I gotta tell ya, this new snow blower I have now is FUN! It's a two cycle, single stage, ball of fun! The chute never clogs, and it's so fast I can almost jog behind it! And -...

    T-Shirt Hell

    (clicky) T-Shirt Hell I must get some of these t-shirts. Please check out "baby hell", as well. When my first born rears his head late August of this year, I can see him wearing the "Hung Like a Five Year Old" tee. Well, until my wife sees it and punishes me for acting like a five year old...

    SV650 Who has one?

    Kawasaki just came out with a new parallel twin Ninja. It's getting decent reviews, but everyone compares it to the sv650 suzuki, and the sv always wins. Is this Suzuki motorcycle really that much fun to ride? My wife is pregnant, and I won't be going on long rides anymore. Rarely took them...

    If I see one more ad for 'Brokeback Mountain'.....

    I understand now what my friend meant, when he said the movie broke tradition - "The good guys get it in the end. "

    I have pets

    My pugs, Juno and Diesel. The female, Juno, is nicknamed humpy. Visitors arms often get a vibrating power hug, if they are on the couch at the same time as Juno. My Pugs

    Idea for motorcycle communication

    Good point, although I haven't dropped a call with Verizon in over a year. Maybe the coverage is better here in Ohio. Crap.... roaming charges.... maybe just a good idea for trips to the mall, as you pointed out.

    Idea for motorcycle communication

    My wife and I have Verizon Cell phones. My phone has unlimited minutes, a carryover from the plan I had with the provider that was bought by Verizon. Even if I did not have that plan, we have unlimited "in" minutes. We can talk to each other, and other Verizon Wireless customers for free. I...

    His last name is "Ramsbottom"

    My last name was "Eckhoff" before my mother remarried. My father wanted to name me "Jack", fortunately for me that did not happen. Nothing could have been worse than that.... or so I thought. I did some work for a customer recently, and his last name was "Ramsbottom". It doesn't matter what...

    Two Bros. Pipes Installed

    I installed my 2 Bros pipes recently. All went well, FJR sounds great. I put the provided silicone between the muffler and connector pipe (that connects muffler to FJR's exhaust under bike(. I did not put silicone between that connecting pipe and the pipes coming from under the motorcycle. I...

    Handguard Install

    I'm not sure if anyone else here mentioned this, as I did not read every post within the thread, but my handguards (Vstrom) hit my Cee Bailey's windshield when I turn. Easy fix, just disconnect the auto-retract windshield feature (quirk). I never ride with the windshield entirely down anyways.

    40+ degrees and dry in Cleveland today?

    1. Two Brothers slip-on exhaust is really easy to install. 2. Two Brothers exhaust gives my FJR some more character, and will surely make my riding more enjoyable. 3. Two Brothers exhaust makes my front end feel awfully squirrely.... No, wait a minute, scratch that 3. Check tire pressure...

    2006 Gearing?

    mike: The Royal star? Hmmm... That taller gear is all that I am interested in, and I'm not trading in my '05 anytime soon. Any more details on this? I'll take a chance and get my mechanic to do it, if it's possible.
