    Vintage motorcycle collection damaged

    Eureka, KS Heartbreaking. First bike I noticed was a CT3 just like mine. https://www.kwch.com/content/news/About--385999691.html

    If you have a cruiser as an "other" bike...

    I take the wife's XL883L for a spin every now and then because it's just fun to putt around on. I'd never want to travel on it though, the ergonomics and vibrations are horrible. I have, and will probably always have several bikes of various styles. The FJR is my first choice for most...

    HELP! Bike died, no ideas

    Why would the bike start with the key removed? Sounds like he may also have an ignition switch issue.

    Dyna Bead Issue?

    Yea, you have to be smarter than the tools you're using.

    Are more expensive Motorcycle Helmets really any safer?

    I get what the article is saying, but I don't buy a more expensive helmet because I think it's safer than a more moderately priced one. I buy a premium helmet because it's lighter and my neck is old and getting crunchy. I buy it because it has more features that I want. I buy it because it...

    Yamaha Demo

    I'll be home Wednesday and actually off work for a couple days. I wouldn't mind testing out some new bikes.

    What did you do to your FJR today?

    Rode it to work, parked it in the garage, then flew to California.

    Why does a bike turn

    Yea, but then what we cogitate over?

    Why does a bike turn

    There's a word not often used on a motorcycle forum, or anywhere else. I'll have to remember to use it more. :)

    NAFO - Trip Plans

    My vacation officially starts at 17:00 on Tuesday, the 26th (depending on the schedule, I may be able to blow out of town earlier). I've booked a room in Montrose the 28-31st. If I ride out there solo, I'll leave the 27th. If not, that gives me half of the 26th to position for a meet up...

    Ergodyne Dry Evaporative Cooling Vest

    That's the one I used last year in the desert and I'm glad I had it. I've never tried it in a high-humidity situation, but I'm sure if you aren't evaporating as fast, it'll be less effective.

    What to do with our "riding gear" while we are in the museum?

    I just leave mine on top of the bike. All my gear is sun faded and well used...nobody's going to take it. Plus, I wear a small, so it doesn't fit most. Worst that could happen is a stupid kid thinks it's funny to take something, but it hasn't happened in 110,000 miles.

    Update on black bike week in Myrtle Beach

    Hey, my '09 is all black...in fact, it's my favorite color. I guess I'll fit right in too. :)

    Best place to mount a gopro camera

    I get it, but there are roads I ride that you don't want to use the entire lane.

    Best place to mount a gopro camera

    That could be said for 99% of us... Real-world-road lines are not the same as track lines.

    Experienced a Little Glimpse of Mortality Today...

    I'll tell you about my off airport landing following a sub-idle engine situation while towing a banner in a Citabria some day over a beer. Better yet, the time a buddy and I nearly pancaked a highly modified C-150 doing a helicopter landing in high winds.
