    WHOAH big fella - Who says that Curtis is DEAD? did you see the dead body - paramedics were called and Jack ran off. Someone mentioned he was dead, but he only shot him in the shoulder/neck and how many folks have been on this show that "weren't quite dead, yet"? So - I say that Curtis is...

    Ever Run Out of Gas?

    I figured I would get about 45 miles from flash point - in fact got 42 once and had to wiggle the bike back and forth as it sputtered on a couple of turns. I was also babying it - even coasted down about 4 miles of hill. I wouldn't trust it more than 35

    Fairing Racing Stripes

    I got my kit last Saturday, but it took till today to put them on - unfortunately - the strip doesn't seperate from the backing material - meaning that there is NO glue side - just the stripe side and a fuzzy paper side. Sort of like pulling the skin away from the backing material. Like the...

    Newspaper Article on Lane Splitting

    I certainly understand writing for the audience. I just don't think those terms were appropriate. I wont quibble with the content - much of what you say is relevant. Keeping yourself vigilant on the road - anticipating the brain dead car drivers' next moves, etc. is all part of the combat...

    Escort/Valentine Power Plug

    my old escorts used a more common pin type connector. Valentine doesn't. It does have a power plug for car outlets, but it goes into a phone cord. I have never been able to use a regular phone jack wire either because I think the wires are reversed in the termination piece.

    Newspaper Article on Lane Splitting

    Please - don't publish your article. You only make the rest of us look bad. It is these kind of statements that create animosity toward bikes. balls to the wall - loaded for bear - maniac -- nice impression you are making there. Fly in and out of traffic - 3d rider in a 2d world. I hate to...

    Apple iBoobs

    does that mean more than a mouthful - I mean earful is a waste??? I think not being a product of my generation - meaning WALLS of marshal amps and heavy metal music - with more Led Zep concerts than I can remember (actually I really can't remember several of them) - I need BIG ONES and a...

    Death Valley February 16-18

    I'll be there a couple of weeks before - but if the Longstreet is charging so much - just run back to the StageCoach - it ain't that far. Furnace Creek rooms may still be open - furnace creek Inn probably not (but WAY pricier). Assuming the weather is good - make sure you ride Wild Rose...

    LCD Clock Losing Time....

    definitely have your battery load tested. Is it the stock battery? If so - I'll bet it is getting borderline. Are you riding it much during the "reset" periods? If you are riding every day - and it is losing time, then I'd venture your battery is just about shot. If you are going a long...

    Going to get a Aerostich what do you

    I'd go with aerostich's back protector. I use a Bohn version in my Darien - and I must say that I don't use it because it is a nuisance. I will use it on extended trips, but the stich must have shrunk because it is a little tight now. The Bohn will attach to the suit - using it's own velcro -...

    GPS Mounting Location

    I'd go for a dash mount- it is up higher and you dn't have to remove your eyesight quite as far from the road ahead. If that isn't a choice - I would personally mount it on the Right - I'm right handed so it works better on the left because it is easier for me to push the buttons with my right...

    Pre-flight mantra / affirmation?

    Great thread - caused me to think about the ride to work this morning. typically I would do the following - Pack the bike for work or for a trip. take a quick look at the bike when doing so - I check the tires a couple of times a week. Put on Stich pants and Darien Jacket - Start up the bike...

    Legal Personal Defense on a Bike

    interesting - but I had a completely different experience - so it obviously must have something to do with the quality of the spray and the aggressiveness or determination of the dog. I had a rottweiller attack my golden retriever when she was just under a year old. I was riding my bicycle and...
