    What Really Matters

    I passed by around 2:30 pm. I ended up doing about a 355 mile loop...great weather for January!

    What Really Matters

    Good ride report. I rode solo Saturday to the Toledo Bend area, and came across something kinda strange on Hwy 191 just south of the Bridge. About 100+ ambulances on 2 big lots, with arabic on them. Assuming the arabic was spelling out AMBULANCE. Did you guys happen to see this?

    Are Gen I and II bikes smoother than Gen III

    I've had all 3 Gens...each generation seems to me to be just a tad bit smoother.

    Anyone own a Gen II or Gen III Versys 650?

    The reviews pretty much state it's smooth. I really need to test ride one. At the end of the day, it boils down to how it compares to my WeeStrom, which I feel is one of the best bikes I've ever ridden. Hoping someone here has a 15 or 16 Versys and can give me some honest critique. I don't...

    Anyone own a Gen II or Gen III Versys 650?

    i have a 2004 WeeStrom as a "commuter/local" bike in my stable. I am thinking about updating to a newer bike...thinking about a Kawasaki Versys 650 based on reviews and form/function. I haven't been able to do a test ride on one yet. Anyone have any experience on one of these? I am either...

    I showed this to my wife...she said.."why is Santa calling out the names of the 3 girlfriends you had before you met me?"

    2014 Requires Throttle/Extra Fuel to Start

    Definitely not a normal situation. When you turn on the power, do you hear the fuel pump "whine" and does it seem to last a couple of seconds? May be possible that it is not pressurizing normally? That is all I can think of based on your troubleshooting thus far. Bike still under warranty...

    Speaker ear plugs for motorcycles

    Check out Big Ears...they are custom molded to your ears, they insert fully and are flat so your helmet won't hang up on them..and the sound quality is great, with transducers inside the ear piece. A bit pricey, but if they will last you for years.

    2013 Cruise control: Phooey!

    Yeah, not sure I'd go $600 for the ability to set my cruise past 80...not a game changer for me. That is all.

    How is the Ride-by-Wire Throttle Control in the 2013?

    I put 88K on my '08, and traded on a new '13, which now has about 64.5K on it...I'd do it again in a heart beat. The throttle by wire is great, no problems, and with 2 D modes, you should be able to find your happy place. Also, the '13 has other small improvements that make it a more refined...
