As I round the 1st corner, there is a stater sitting by the grain silos. No biggie, I'm doing 25. The minute he sees me he starts...

    Curtiss Zeus electric motorcycles

    Considering Harley tried to patent the sound of their engines, the Livewire HAS to make some kind of noise.

    Valve Check Tips? <Nucking Futs!>

    There is an opening in the frame right next to the CCT. Tape over this hole so that when (not if) you drop a bolt, it doesn't go into the frame. DAMHIK

    Regular fuel vs Premium fuel?

    Knock and ping are the same thing, but they are both detected with a knock sensor. I think in the motorcycle industry it is mostly reffered to as ping, auto industry as knock. Both are detonation/pre ignition.

    The ONE Picture Ride Report

    Well, finally got everything I needed together and the time was right to break in the trailer and go camping. A short 70 mile trip to Lake Roosevelt, and a tent spot at 2 Rivers Resort. The trailer pulls well at 90 mph and tracks just great. It came with a hitch that swivels side to side, so...

    Upgrade 2006 FJR - Is there Something Better?

    My Bandit 1200 is my commuter (I picked it up for $1700). Although I rack up more miles on the FJR because work is a 7 mile daily round trip. But the Bandit is 150 lbs lighter and has a bigger grin factor. My next bike will prolly be a 4 - 600cc super motard, that weighs 150 lbs less than the...

    Parting out 2005 abs - SOLD OUT

    Fork brace arrived and installed. Thanks Ken. I would have a ride report on how hard I pushed the front end with it on there, but it's on the rack apart again for the trailer hitch install. Between the new rear shock and the fork brace, I'm pretty sure I will be able to stuff it into a 100 mph...
