One suggestion I'd like to make after spending a more then a few multi hundred mile days in the saddle. Forget the "tighty-whities". The cotton material is more of a pain in the azz (really!) then what its worth. If you want real comfort while riding then you need to go look for some different...

+1. The helmet is very well balanced so you really don't notice the weight. IMHO, the venting is adequate and overall quieter then my previous lid, an older HJC. I love the pump up cheek pads and the built in sun visor. I'm going to see if I can find a darker sun visor then the one that came...

Just happened to look at Garmins site and lo and behold they have a new page up for the Zumo 660. Looks like a Nuvi with Zumo 550 features. And the MSRP is still lower then the 550 by about $200. One blurb I read that makes me think I might wanna wait to get this one, is the lane assist...

A man was driving his truck in the middle of winter. While stopped at a red light, he hears a knock on his drivers side door. He looks out to see a blond woman standing there, so he rolls down the window and asks, "Can I help you ma'am?" She said "Hi my names is Heather and you're loosing part...

I remember when I was wrenching on jet engines in the air force, for really critical torque on specific internal engine parts, we had an elaborate procedure we needed to follow. For example, the core compressor shaft torque we would have to apply an initial torque. Then we would have to remove...

Personally, I've found some JVC HA FX300 in ear headphones to work best for me. Comfortable, good sound, allows outside sounds to come in somewhat (I can hear sirens, horns, etc.) but still cancel out most wind roar. Since they are an in ear design, they tuck inside the ear opening and allow my...

A family is at the dinner table. The son asks his father, "Dad, how many kinds of boobs are there?" The father, surprised, answers, "Well, son, there's three kinds of breasts. In her twenties, a woman's breasts are like melons, round and firm. In her thirties to forties, they are like pears...

Chilly? Depends on your definition of chilly. I rode up Bucks Lake Rd on Sunday afternoon. T-shirt under my leather jacket, jeans and riding overpants and my summer weight gloves. The missus said its supposed to be up around 80 this weekend. I won't be home to enjoy that weather though. I riding...

Well OM, glad to see you're back on two wheels. So when ya gonna get up to Quincy so we can take a run out La Porte Rd? This time, though, you need to keep it between the cliffs! Ray

A married couple in their early 60s was celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary in a quiet, romantic little restaurant. Suddenly, a tiny yet beautiful fairy appeared on their table. She said, "For being such an exemplary married couple and for being loving to each other for all this...

When I saw the title of this thread, I hoped it was a joke and a bad one at that. I never had a chance to meet Tim, but I did enjoy his humor and insight on several different topics. We'll all miss you Tim. Prayers and condolences to the entire family. RIP Rider. Ray

Bust, I thought you lived in Michigan? :P Ray

I run the Silverstars bulbs in my Bandit too. LIke some of you mentioned they wern't lasting for a great length of time. I happened to complain to a Sylvania rep one day at work (I was working at an auto parts store at the time) and he asked if I was running the high beam most of the time. I...

I've been using the iJet with my Nano for about a year now. I added a 12 volt outlet under the seat to plug in the auto charger so I don't have to worry about running the battery down. I've found that if you leave the Nano in the iJet even if its powered down, the iJet still tend to bleed off...

I rode to Reno to run a errand this afternoon. Errand complete, I decided I'd like to drop in to say hi and best wishes to OM. After reading some of Reno John's posts, I figured I better call ahead and see if OM might like a little company. He said he appreciated the call and the thought, but he...

Got this as an email this afternoon and thought its a great idea, especially in light of OM's recent mishap. Figured I'd pass it along here and ask what some of you folks that work emergeny medical services think about it. I've already got my phone programed for ICE1 and ICE2 for my home phone...

I'll be monitoring this thread for location updates. I'm going to Reno with the family on Wednesday and I'm planning on a ride over there Thursday to pick up some tickets for a show at Silver Legacy. Won't be able to stop in for a visit on Wed but since I'l be solo on Thursday I can. I really...

Just got off the phone with Brian Wood of Quincy Tow and I have 2 pieces of somewhat good news to report. First off, the accident isn't where I thought it was, it was actually closer to La Porte then I thought and that being said the cliff there isn't nearly as steep as I pictured when I thought...

Damn, Damn, Damn...... My wife and I took her very first ride to La Porte from Quincy that morning and saw the wrecker and parade of Sherriff's Deputies and CHP's and a few bikers coming towards Quincy. When I saw the wrecker I looked to see what they had on the hook and it was unrecognizable...

Be thankful the dealer was honest enough to tell you they dropped your brand new FJR. They could have been a little bit shady and just tried to buff out any scratches and failing that replace the scuffed parts. Next time you detailed the bike, you might have found some tiny amount of damage and...
