    Tips for 2 up riding sought - been a while, so looking for advice

    Get some communication for the helmets. I used to get the pound on the left shoulder for too fast, right for a pit stop, hurts after awhile. Mostly I find it is just keep your feet on the pegs all the time. I find it easiest to tell them to line up helmets vs, leaning. Same thing but they...

    08 price

    I would suspect they will try to give you 8k or so. The milage as I remember correctly for bikes it is about 4-5k a year allowed. The way to get a higher price is conditions of tires, any additional items. Some will pay for them others not, it depends on the company. Keep in mind they are only...

    why are touring bikes so damn heavy??

    I agree with the others. it all adds up. The easiest way to save some weight is the Headers and cans , about 25 lbs. I ride most of the time without the bags and that saves a lot ( As well as scratches on them)

    Motorcycles are not inherently dangerous, but they are extremely unforgiving.

    Ouch! painful to even look at , at least you are battered but OK, heal well.

    Are motorcycles inherently dangerous?

    One of my backgrounds is in Decision Analysis ( I went to UCB far too long also) One way to analysis it would be the probability of injury in an accident of any type on a Motorcycle vs a car. Even the smallest car has more potential energy than of that a bike, the likelihood of injury is of...

    Go Pro HD

    2 things I like with Final cut Express are "video in a box" , sort of a a way to merge 2 clips into one. This is great for multi-views of the same piece and a little app called https://www.solrobots.com/roadtrip/index.html Road Trip effects. works on Windows also

    New Sony camera

    It looks excellent. I like cameras that can be tossed into the tank bag or carried in a pocket. The video specs look pretty good as well.

    Don't mess with Mad Mike 2

    I do not miss Oakland at all. One tough town, but he was crazy to even bother talking with him. I had my boxing trainer tell me in my young hot headed days "Do you bark back at dogs, too?" I got the point.

    Motorcycles Use Extreme Caution

    I agree it is really important. Today and W. WA it was beautiful and everyone was riding. However lack of signs is common as well. I had to help a guy get his CBR out of the bushes after he lowsided into a turn due to dried mud. His poor bike looked like a belt sander had been taken to it.

    Dropped her again :(

    Stop doing that :dribble: Look for one of the wide feet sold via forum members or vendors. The FJR is a big bike IMO for a side stand with a little foot.

    Iphone mount

    I had a 1st gen iPhone on another bike. The mount was similar to the one Ram has for it. After about a month it died. The unit would not turn on. Apple replaced it but asked specifically about vibration. I to be honest was not sure that was the cause , but I suspect it was, I was using a cool...

    Iphone mount

    Really nice looking mount. However I agree with the others I fear vibration will be a problem.

    Pictures of my wrecked FJR

    No. Having been insurance for a long time in my past, they will call it totaled. I assume he had insurance or you do have coverage on the bike .

    Reusable oil filters

    Filters are pretty cheap, I would not risk it myself.
