    Avon Storm 3D XM - Mileage Report in last post (Edit)

    Maybe you all are looking at this the wrong way. The way I see it is this. Avon has made a tire they think will last 15,000 miles. Maybe it will, maybe it won't. But the chances are that it will outlast most everything else out there. Buy a set, put them on yourself, and if they only last...

    Another reason lane splitting needs to be legalized everywhere

    Funny how if you have $100K you need $100K. If you're FOB and penniless, nobody bothers you. Gotta admit, I liked the dude's gloves. As for the guy with the blanket, sorry Zilla, I thought that was a very compassionate act. Regardless of how long he'd been keeping it in his trunk. As for...

    Borderline dangerous epic adventure wanted

    Regarding Half Dome. My sources tell me that on most days you need to get on the trail by 4 a.m., hike for several hours to get to the base, then wait in line to get on the rock. From what I hear it's well worth it. Just thought you should know what you're getting yourself into.

    Pissed at Progressive

    The real question is why do we have to pay full premiums for each machine when we can only drive/ride one at a time, while the other stays safely in the garage covered by our homeowners insurance. Curious minds want to know.

    Has your healthcare ins. provider asked you about motorcycles yet?

    I don't get it. My motorcycle insurance covers my medical costs if I'm involved in an accident. My healthcare policy does not. And I'm pretty sure my motorcycle insurance company is aware that I ride.

    Local comments on CA 43 thru central Valley?

    What's wrong with 101, ahem, I mean the 101? You'd be out of the Valley, closer to the coast and plenty of scenery. Okay, just noticed Grant Grove is East of Fresno. No worries. Cut over on 198 through Coalinga. Minimizes SJV time while maximizing scenery.

    You Know You're From Arizona When. . .

    The weather lady no longer warns of "triple digit temperatures" ahead. You stop 70' short of an interesection to wait for a green light under an overpass and the person behind you doesn't honk.

    4 Lessons - Costly, But Priceless

    If I'm reading this correctly, you were riding with a Yamaha salesman. So two questions come to mind. He was close enough behind you that he got hit by the bolt, but not so close as to notice the oil spewing from your final drive? I applaud your honesty regarding the Y.E.S. warranty, but how...

    Sad news . . . the death of B.B. (Blues Boy) King.

    How the hell will he be missed? He hasn't been relevant for years and years. Whose going to miss him? His 15+ ******* children? Sure he was a great musician, but............

    Any rumor on the 2016...?

    Who cares what the color is. I'm waiting for a GEN IV. The Gen III styling was a big miss for me. YMMV

    Let the Hunt Begin - Looking for a Steal

    Unless things are different down South......yes we know they are, it's the South after all, I have to question RFH's reasoning. Seems sound on the surface, but here in sunny Kali, where motorcycles sell like Katy Perry, I think I can count on 1 finger the number of 2014's I've seen. Sure it's...

    What's the largest item you have strapped to your bike?

    A full frame backpack to a 1978 CB750K. Was a three day weekend and I was itching to go backpacking in the eastern Sierra's. Asked my buddy to come along. As per usual he declined. I told him my plans, he looked at me like I was crazy. Amazing what you will do when you're too young to talk...

    Summer gloves

    Check with MotorcycleGear.com/closeouts. They have a reasonable selection and great descriptions. As well as great service and prices. No, I don't work for them. Just a loyal customer. Mark

    BeemerDonS crashes, is in hospital.

    I'd mention something about these Irish Lassies looking like they could use a good cheeseburger, but alas, some of the Irish Laddies are a litlle sensitive about such talk. So I won't. But they do. BTW, glad to hear you're on the mend Don. Markie Mark
