    2014-12-24 Christmas Eve Commute

    I've been able to do most of the Coast Highway from San Luis up to Ft. Bragg. From Central Oregon to Astoria Wa. Bucket list riding second only to the Alps in my opinion. You always do nice pics Don, thanks.

    Suzuki wants in on Yamaha FZ turf here

    The GM of a large dealership here just dropped Suzuki. They felt Suzuki was circling the drain towards bankruptcy? They dumped a ton of money promoting their cars and just pulled out of the US market. Now I see they are going to run in Moto GP next year. Seems like a large investment if the...

    2010 FJR For Sale-7900-Job Loss Forces Sale

    I used to sell motorcycles for a large dealer. We called these folks" bottom feeders" no matter how low the price is it's too high!! I used to really get pissed at these clowns. They just want to capitalize on your bad luck, screw them. I'm glad you kept it. Your bike was worth every bit of that...

    Yamaha's tribute to Colin Edwards

    It's really nice that Yamaha pays tribute to a long time rider on their team. I remember seeing him at Laguna in 1996.

    Losing my hearing

    Your right on that Eric. All those ear squeezes & equalizing under pressure. I hated riding with ear plugs most of my life, couldn't hear my pricey pipes!! I am used to them now and if I ride to get fuel and back without them the bike sounds unusually loud.

    Passo dello Stelvio - up one side and down the other!

    I will always remember that ride. When i did it snow was starting to stick and we had to turnaround. Beautiful though everywhere in the Alps. Good video Don!!

    2014ES Farkles Completed

    I had Clear Bra applied to my tank back & sides. Also put it on the back of the fairing panels because my pants were scuffing the paint. The stuff is barely visible and works great!

    This is the bike that started it all for Americans

    When I was in high school the 305 Scrambler came out. Man that thing was bad *** and most of us wanted one. The problem was few of us had the cash in poor southwest Pennsylvania!!

    Body Armor, back protectors, pads and such.

    I use one of those on the dirt bike. I think it's a lot better & more comfortable than typical chest protector.

    Body Armor, back protectors, pads and such.

    I use Forcefield body armor. THe armor is in a lycra suit which holds the pads in place and works good when it's hot out side. You can also wear any clothing over them you want. Bohn also makes some nice armor in a similar style. I feel safer in summer with a shirt over this system instead of...

    High mileage pickups?

    In Colorado we have auto brokers. For me this has been an excellent way to purchase a vehicle. You find the truck you like, the broker gets it for you at a great price and they clean off all the add on stuff you don't want and there is no haggling to it. Some states like Texas don't allow...

    2014 Availablility and Price D&H Cycles

    The bike business runs like the car business with smaller margins. More like 12% and hold backs are given on quantity of units sold. Some of the Saturday price wars dirt bikes would go out the door with the only profit being freight& set up costs! As you said used vehicles are where the money...
