    Do you ride with a radio or Mp3 player?

    I started out with an iPod Nano in the map pouch on my tank bag and some cheapy helmet speakers. Couldn't hear the durn thing so I added a Boostaroo amp still didn't do much so I went to some relatively inexpensive Koss earbuds. Now I could hear the iPod but I had a hard time turning volume up...

    Punished or rewarded for motorcycle commuting?

    A long time ago when I was still on active duty at Dover AFB, a few of us in the Jet Shop rode our motorcycles to work. We had dedicated moto parking areas but they were on the far side of the parking lot. So 2 or 3 of us would park in one car slot close to the building we worked in. One of the...

    Rain gear recommendations

    I have the Tourmaster Sentinel set and I'm very happy with it. One piece of advice I can offer on the Tourmaster gear. If you can find it locally in a shop, try it on. I don't have a moto shop within 50 miles of home so I did mine mail order. I had to return the pants twice before I got a pair...

    San Diego cops gone wild

    If I'm not mistaken, if you see another rider patting the top of his helmet/lid/head, thats the signal to watch out for the boys in blue.

    Stay away from Vrods

    Nope, No Farkles. I'm keeping her stock as possible. Maybe in a few years or so, the value will double! :haha: Ray

    Stay away from Vrods

    Well, I got a V Rod. Here's a link where you can the pics I took of it. Not only am I the owner, I built it myself. I'm trying to boost the resale value by keeping the mileage as low as possible. What do you guys think? Ray

    Bear in the Air

    What I'd like to try (if I ever got stopped for speeding, something I NEVER do :glare: ) is take it to court and tell the judge, Sir? The sign said speed enforced by aircraft. The aircraft never pulled me over, never even landed. How do I know the officer that stopped me had the correct...

    Quincy for lunch

    Ya'll might wanna call Morning Thunder the day before or the day of your ride and make sure the place is still open. Or should I say still in business? Seems the owner might have gotten himself in a speck of trouble. :blink:

    Carpal Tunnel Operation?

    I was diagnosed in 1987 I think. I suffered with it for 10 years doing stuff like the splints, motrin, mobic, PT everything. I never had any pain, but my hand would go to sleep. If I rode for more than 10 miles, my right was alseep, anything over 50 and the entire arm from the elbow down was...

    Ride from Omaha to Sacramento

    I didn't look at your route, but I can tell you that 2 years ago in a mild winter, I moved from Delaware to Nor Cal in late April. I was fine till I got to Cheynne (sp?) Wyoming. When I woke up the morning of the 23rd, it had snowed about 2 inches. I took the interstate over the mountians toward...

    Cheese Steaks Anyone?

    I was born and raised within 30 miles of Philly. If ya wanna get a cheesesteak from Pats or Gino's go ahead. IMHO, sadly, they've become tourist traps. Food is ok but I've had better. There are some awesome cheesesteak shop in northern Delaware and my favorite was always Capriottis. They have...

We went behind this very tavern where you leaned against the back fence and I made love to you." "Yes," she says. "I remember it well." "OK," he says, "How about taking a...
