    Wicked Webby Air Box Mod Warning

    HA HA...exactly what I thought when I read that..... Bottom line, those pleats serve a purpose and a flattened filter isn't filtering adequately.

    Family

    Praying for your family.

    An XS Odyssey and props to MadMike!

    Awesome Job...You have inspired me. Even the wife agreed a couple months ago that a project bike would be fun for me to tinker with.....Gotta hit ebay and see what's around.

    Hit At Light Last Night.

    Damn...glad you're ok. No doubt he should be paying your dealer to do a thorough inspection of the swingarm/wheel/tire and all components therin.

    A tankful of diesel

    Man that sucks.....glad you got it sorted out without any long term bike issues. Yeah, they are responsible.....I'm pretty sure diesel is required to be in a pump with a larger nozzle so the mistake can't be made. Problem is in po-dunkville you're not going to win that battle. If this were...

    eBay feedback rant

    Didn't they change the feedback system so that a buyer leaving bad feedback can't be flamed by a seller? I think they did because of that reason. They give buyers more rights for honesty without getting hammered for no reason. I guess then it becomes a "beat you to it" scenario. I'd leave...

    Fund For Tyler TOTALS POSTED

    It's so good to hear she is doing better. I'll continue to pray for her. <rant>With the reach of this forum and the others involved, I'm not sure people realize what a difference we can easily make in this situation. How many of us will take our families out for dinner and drop 50.00...

    A little oil change story.

    No way would they touch my bike....AND be sure to call and let them know why. I bet you paid a premium price for that oil change. Just install the relay Brodie designed and leave the ignition alone. It's a simple install and a great price.

    Base Stickers?

    They aren't even close to the right format for military stickers....too square, but that is similar to what I made for my sticker...just no angle to the part with the hole, comes off straight so the plate sits parallel with my front tire.

    Base Stickers?

    I made an aluminium plate that is a rectangle the same size as the stickers but with a extra bump in one corner with a hole in it.....pulled out a reflector bolt on the front fork and stuck it behind the reflector....Works great, doesn't stick to the bike. Turns with the front wheel.....PM me...

    Camera Binoculars

    How did it work? I've looked at them and never found one with decent camera resolution.....Canon has a small point and shoot with 12X optical zoom and 12 Mega Pixels (PowerShot SX200 IS) for under 300.00....just a reference.....zooms have gotten a lot better.

    Hey technical types !

    I use the Energizer rechargables...2450Mah It's amazing how long they last. https://www.energizer.com/products/hightech...eBatteries.aspx I have enough to rotate them out in things like digital cameras and I always have a charged set.

    Crash report - warning: graphic language may be used

    That just sucks ass....Nice bike, don't sweat the bike, you'll get it back together. Get that shoulder checked out, you don't want to find out later you have something messed up in there. I'm sure you already know but I'll say it anyway....sliders would have saved a lot of plastic. From the...

    have a friend somewhat new to motorcycling

    I would steer far clear of a VStrom if he want's something "Not too heavy" It's not too bad but it's so tall it's very topheavy. I'm 6'4" and couldn't flat foot at a stoplight on my VStrom 1000.....I had to lower it an inch but it was still really topheavy, I was always afraid of dropping it.

    Lets talk restrooms----

    Not to mention Sheetz has kick ass MTOs (Made to Order subs) and Hot Dogs...(we used to call them death dogs) I miss them living in the south now.

    Funniest thing I have seen in a long time

    That is funny stuff!!!

    How far do you think an FJR could go in one hour?

    I'm sure someone could come up with the link for the story (I think it was in cycle world) of the guy that ran the cannonball run type race in Italy I think (my memory sucks). He was on a Kawi 1400 when they first came out. I think he was running ~150 the entire time mostly outrunning cops and...

    My 07AE Map

    Help me understand. If there is black soot at your exhaust and you're getting that poor of mileage, you must be way too rich......but lean is fast (within limits) and too lean is harmful to the engine. Wouldn't a leaner map make more power and help your mileage all at the same time....not to...
