    ^^^Good stuff there. It's not often a retailer tells it like it is, no holds barred.

    Cardo Packtalk Bold - Testing in progress!

    ^^^Yes, the old Packtalk model is discontinued and being cleared out of stock, but the prices are reasonable.

    Riding a motorcycle is highly risky, right?

    Oh well, C'est la vie, I guess I'll take whatever comes my way, and enjoy it while it lasts. I may eat more at Harvey's now.

    Riding a motorcycle is highly risky, right?

    Can I mitigate the risk if I have a salad for lunch at McDonald's, during a long ride?

    There you go BS'in us again. Now you're measuring oil in mm instead of ml and using new math.

    Rear diff oil level

    Rotate the wheel all you want. Just let it settle out before you put the fill plug back in.

    Vemar Sharki Helmet Review

    I hope it's better than their last modular, the Vemar Jiano EVO TC. Parts were not easy to get. It was apparently Italian designed, but somewhat cheaply made in China, with poor noise control and ventilation. I liked the sunshade a lot, finish was good. It was meant to be worn by someone with a...

    Best replacement battery

    I bought a new GS GT14B-4 from a local dealer in 2014 to replace the original on my '08. It never seemed all that strong. A few weeks ago it couldn't muster enough juice to restart the bike at a gas station, so a friendly soul helped me bump start it in second gear. Now I have a Yuasa YT14B-BS.

    For sale 2010 FJR 6.000

    If you really only want $6.000 for it, I'll take it. Maybe you have a $ comma issue here. GLWS anyway.

    Heated gloves ,would you buy your's?

    I have these Warm and Safe Ultimate touring gloves which I like and use quite a bit, and would buy again. I have these Powerlet Rapidfire gloves liners which are tight under good fitting gloves so I don't really use them, but they pack up small for when you don't want to carry the larger...

    So Kianu Reeves isn't REALLY Johnny Utah? Or "Ted?"

    Almost three decades ago he rode his '74 Norton Commando from Toronto to Florida.

    Going to the Dark Side

    An educated decision may lead to a verbal spout. If I learn that my sister burned her hand on the stove burner, and my brother tries to do the same while I say, don't do that. Brother then says "How would you know, you never tried it". So brother burns hands - good for him eh? By listening to...

    Going to the Dark Side

    There is no assumption. I've been listening to people personally that have been there, done that, went back to MC tires, and aren't putting a CT on again. I understand it's the right thing to do for some people, just not me.

    Going to the Dark Side

    Bust. I'd rather jump off a tall building with a lit spliff than put a car tire on my bike. But I understand it's different strokes for different folks.
