    Dunlop Roadsmart 3

    $298.11 through Jake Wilson -$100 rebate. Fast delivery too. Just placed my order. Thanks for posting this, I would have missed it.

    What's the Weather like where YOU are today?

    Just got back from a trip to FL to evacuate some of our people. It's going to get serious down there in a couple days. Hope any of you in this hurricane's path stay safe.

    North American Wild Card Moto-Tag Game

    ^^^. I finally put that app on my phone.

    EOM 2017 - Wytheville 2.0 - Sept 28th to October 1st 2017

    I registered, in case it works out...work wise. I'll probably stay at the hotel next door, since points will make it free. Hope to see y'all there.

    Smokers (BBQ - not grilling)

    Just ordered my first smoker, should be here by the end of the week. Now I have to go back and read all 80 pages of this...better find my glasses, this could take a while.

    Rossi fractures tibia and fibula during training

    He'll still race Misano. How could he not?

    1984 Harley XR1000

    Did somebody mention Norton? If somebody has a '72 within 500 miles of Toledo, for a reasonable price, I'm in.

    HF tire help needed.

    I have the first gen tire changer with mojo blocks and things don't line up perfectly, but good enough to get the small diameter rod down through the bearings. I really don't know what the new version requires. I've never used the big, overhead arm thing.

    Shudder and running rough at low RPMs

    If it isn't broke...

    HF tire help needed.

    I hope you purchased the mojo blocks and mojolever (https://www.mojotiretools.com/mojoweb.htm). It makes the job much easier and scratch free. I also use a couple cam lock cargo straps through the wheel spokes to keep things from rotating without having to crank down on the rim.

    In Thrust We Trust

    Maybe if her hands were up covering the goods...no, that would probably still be a little much for me to actually wear. Sorry.

    time for new battery?

    5 year old battery in a cold climate, my guess is battery. However, starter and selenoid are also suspect. I was in the same boat this past winter and changed the starter because I had that area opened up anyway, plus my starter hade 125,00 miles on it. Made no difference. I could have put...

    Nifty programmable 12 vdc delay relay

    Mine has always been fused at 5 amps. Even when my original pump failed it didn't blow the fuse, just stopped moving fuel. That was a generic, metal case pump. I'm now running a bit higher performing K&N pump, with no issues.

    North to Alaska 2019 - Once there were Twenty now there are SIX

    I really doubt you'll get a whole "herd" of riders anyway, riders drop out the closer the event gets...but I'm still in. :)

    Southeast Ohio Tues. July 18

    I'm skipping work tomorrow. Maybe I'll see some of you down there.

    Nifty programmable 12 vdc delay relay

    Similar to how mine is set up. My timer is postage stamp size and programmable. My pump runs through a relay that is only hot when the bike is running.

    Harley Ad sets new low

    I guess I'm an immature dimwit, because the add didn't bother me. In fact, I didn't give it a second thought.

    North to Alaska 2019 - Once there were Twenty now there are SIX

    It's on my bucket list, so I'm interested, but I can't commit yet. I'd like to do it on the FJR, but I've also seriously been considering doing it on the Ural. I'd have to trailer the Ural out to Washington though.

    Southeast Ohio Tues. July 18

    Tuesday looks great, weather wise. I might be up for this, have to check in at work Monday before I'll know for sure.
