It seems to me, one can't make an informed decision without a professional diagnosis. You're welcome.

Therein lies the rub... :huh: Absolutely...! Don't ride any Interstates (well, maybe I-70 in UT and CO) and don't ride in (or, too near) any large metropolitan areas.

A veritable bargain compared to those, pricey, NorCal Yammie shops... :o Still, after viewing posts about a similar problem, many (here on the Forum) would've searched-out another ride -- in lieu of fixing their bike. Congrats 'faster' for getting yours fixed. (one wonders what the "buy...

This from a riding buddy: "Casey's pass was nothin' compared to the passes I saw being made on Hwy 1. Turns out the real race is from LA to Monterey on Hwy 1. Apparently, the first one to arrive in Monterey wins something and it must be worth a lot considering the chances being taken. Lots of...

Great article -- thanks. (it's about time...!) It'll be interesting to see what, if anything, developes. :unsure:

Don't go... (the "pirates" will throw your Yamahahaha on a bonfire...) Did you go...? Mormon Lake Biker Shooting Some things just don't deserve seeing or experiencing...

An abomination wherein (normally rational) folks remove a hundred-year evolved, specifically-designed, motorcycle tire and install a specifically improper Car Tire. (all in the name of saving a few shekels...) ;)

Yes...! The "law of unintended consequences" giving positive, unexpected, benefits. Better to have a 'no good' item that will fail at home than to have a 'marginal' one that may fail 100 miles away... :)

From 'craigslist': "for sale -- please do not post prohibited or recalled items"

Those who maintain large fleets of motor vehicles (where 100s of vehicles = thousands of $$$) coolant isn't changed unnecessarily. When servicing their fleets, maintainers (when considering coolant) talk in terms '5 years', '250K miles', and 'lifetime'. They do, however, frequently sample...

Don't take offence -- if you want it, buy it. What I was trying to say was: the only price you can count on is the MSRP for the current year (as stated by the manufacturer). Yamaha may have a program for 'non-currents' (new un-sold bikes from previous years) and may have a pricing structure for...

A 2010 is not "new" (technically speaking)... For the past couple years there's been "Blood in the Streets" re: the retail (new) motorcycle biz. Failed dealerships, product in warehouses, auctions, etc. Selling price can be all over the board on a non-current... :blink: You'll need to see a...

From a recent press release: "MESA, AZ – July 19, 2011 – (Motor Sports Newswire) – The Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge announced today that it has signed an exclusive agreement with Academy Award nominee David Roma, of Amor Factory, to produce a feature-length documentary on the August 2011 event...

Anything less is just wasting time... :) (just short of, but not getting, a ticket)

Re: MD's neighbor DE... (from Dealernews) "Delaware governor vetoes change to helmet law : Jul 15, 2011, Gov. Jack Markell vetoed legislation Thursday that would have freed adult motorcycle riders from carrying helmets, but mainly because of a quirk in the law. Delaware law lets riders older...

I have MamaYama's Gel (accessory) seat and think it's great. As a matter of fact, my much used Russell DayLong (w/'overload') now sits on the shelf. I guess I'm just a gel-seat fan (works for me...)? Years ago I converted my, then, dual-sport bike's seat (bought a kit -- gel insert & cover)...

Worth it? Save your butt? Yes & No If you hear the "beep", immediately go to the posted speed limit (not 'a little over' -- also means you must be aware of the current posted limit). If you're speeding alone on a rural road, and the LEO is proficient (waits 'till he knows he'll get a...

+1 rental car great adventure

All is well...? :unsure:

Owning a VFR may indicate an appreciation for up-to-date technology -- gear-driven cams, single-sided swinging-arm...? Therefore: an "AE" -- with its Formula One racing derived 'trigger shift' -- may be the better choice...? :unsure: Many would (and did) pay extra for that feature... :blink...
