Well, it's been a very wierd winter here in Ohio. I actually didn't get to ride at all in January, which is unusual. But right now, I think road conditions are a bigger factor than anything else. In light of the skyrocketing price of road salt, alot of local municipalities have turned to some...

$89 gets you front AND rear from Handy on their current "package deal".

Well, I just checked all my usual favorite tire vendors and couldn't touch that price. I've only tried the rear Roadsmart, but so far it has lasted longer (5600 miles) than any other rear tire I've tried on either of my FJRs and still looks damn good. Some complaints I've heard here on the...

Apparently you've never seen the movie "Heavy Metal" (the first one...not 2000). Totally animated...shoulda been named "***, Drugs, and Rock & Roll". Don't knock big cartoon ****ies. :P Oh, and my mufflers aren't equidistant from center either.

Jen, I can't help but notice that's a real sportbike in your avatar. Are sportbikes typically your ride of choice? If so and you don't have this problem on sportbikes, we're in the same boat. I do like my FJR, but I've always said I'd like it ALOT better if it sat more like a sportbike. I...

Weird weather week here in Ohio. It was 2*F last Monday morning, and 67*F Saturday! Nope..that's not a typo...65* rise in temp from Monday AM to Saturday PM. Got the 125 Derbi out Saturday since it hadn't seen the outside of the garage in over a month. The Feej is the hands down winner when...

I think that pretty well sums it up. ;) Whoda thunk it'd be that easy? Ahhhh, the internet is truly a powerful tool. Thanks guys.

I just dialed it and that is correct! Thankyou! I left the number on her voicemail, hopefully that will help. Tanks,

I know it's a long shot, but I just got an e-mail from a fellow AMA member who's lost her AMA card and the ph# for AMA MoTow. She's stuck with a flat, and AMA offices are closed for the holidays. I'm not a MoTow member, and the website doesn't give out the ph# unless you are. Just tryin' to...

Started to put this in another related thread, but afraid it will get lost in the shuffle. As the subject says, I'm looking to get the wife a GPS. It would be for car use only (already have a waterproof Garmin for the bikes), and user friendliness is high priority...I don't want this to end up...

Anyone else echo this sentiment??? I was looking at a refurb TomTom One XL-S for the wife, so it would be CAR-ONLY...for $119 + 2 bucks to ship. A co-worker just bought a refurb XL and likes it, but has only used it a couple weeks. The XL-S speaks the street names, XL does not. Like the...

Yeah, after I got the new recovery disks from HP, it took about 3 hours for it to rebuild the recovery partition on the hard drive. Somebody told me that most new PCs are doing it that way now, that is having a separate recovery partition on the hard drive, rather than sending you a stack of...

I did everything you suggested...all good stuff. Now as for the rest of it............... The problem has been resolved. And it's such a stupid thing I'm embarrassed to say it. My daughter did in fact click on a nasty virus, but it seems that after she did, she got the "blue screen of...

Ok, I'm just about ready to give up. Got the O-fishul recovery disk straight from HP. Totally formatted both partitions on the hard drive, since the instructions that came with the disks said it would create a new recovery partition automatically, and I ran the recovery disks. I just don't...

+1!...no disrespect or lack of sensitivity intended. ;)

BTW, what happened to your clutch lever??? :P Couldn't resist.

It wasn't there. That hard drive has now been formatted multiple times. There were only two things in the start menu...MSN messenger (which I despise) and the freebie Avast anti-virus I downloaded just to have something on there now. I did uncheck the MSN messenger. ;) Still plan to...

I'll try all of the above. Right now the box is at least functional with XP Pro, so I should be able to do all that. I also found that HP will "give" you a recovery disc, you just have to pay an absurd price for shipping, but still cheaper than in FNGs link. I ordered one up...we'll see if I...

Yeeeaaaahhh...woulda, coulda, shoulda. Wife and child did this one on their own. [semi-long story] The kid brought the tower home from college this weekend. Said she clicked on a box that looked like a gen-u-wine Microsoft warning about needing to update anti-virus. Clicked it and the...

My daughter's HP PC with XP Media Center became infected BADLY. HP doesn't supply a recovery disc with the PC, but rather puts it on a separate partition in the hard drive. It would appear that both partitions are infected, and multiple recovery attempts have been unsuccessful. If I reinstall...
