    Gen III Error Message

    When I first saw that error on my bike, I just pulled over, found an oak tree to hug, and I felt much better. That is all.

    Help With Tire Decision

    My $.02 worth...Got roughly 200,000 miles on Michelins Pr 2/3/4s mounted on FJRs (all 3 Gens) + another 25,000 miles or so on Michelin PRs on other bikes....I'm a true believer. That is all.

    Bungee hooks on GIVI 48L topbox

    I also use the Givi made rack...only problem is that it's tough to find hook points, as there are not many points that are suitable for hooking in.

    HD makes a "Sport Bike" well almost....

    more overpriced, under engineered doo doo from the Motor Company. Wish I had sold my stock last year. Oh well.

    Ignacio's First Solo Flight!

    Congrats! Hope you have many great hours soaring above the mere mortals below. In the future, go for the Cardinal...I had one a few years ago..high performance wing, NO struts, big *** doors, good leg/shoulder room for passengers, etc, all great, but beware the dreaded stabilator! LOL

    Coolant drain bolt

    DO NOT use your torque wrench on it! Just nice n snug.

    Stripped final gear case filler bolt hole

    I have a bit of experience with heli coils...like he stated above, over tightening and stripping the softer aluminum is a real possibility, so throw that torque wrench in the trash before you even think about using it again for the drain plug or filler.

    GPS Tablet

    Sorry but as a Garmin customer since the 90's, using marine, aviation, car, and motorcycle units, I can tell you that it's probably NOT user error. My 665 does the same crappy routing, off and back on major highways. It's a Garmin error. I am no expert on the 665, but I sure as hell ain't no...

    Two cannibals...

    what do you get when you combine an insomniac, a dyslexic, and an atheist? .... Someone that lays awake all night long wondering, is there really a Dog?

    Two cannibals...

    A duck walks into a drug store, and asks the clerk "do you have any ChapStik©?" The clerk answers "yes we do". The duck replies, "just put it on my bill".

    Suzuki DL650 Adventure? Good bike?

    don't forget to pack the air compressor so that you can reduce pressure in tires for dirt, and air back up for road.

    A Ride in the Rain with Redfish

    no such thing as waterproof, especially in torrential downpours that the Gulf Coast is famous for. Even a rubberized rain gear set cannot withstand it. That is all.
