    A Real-Life Scene from COPS

    While I don't know him personally, I'll certainly accept Radman as a good person and a competent rider. However, by his own admission, he is subject to a diabetic " episode " at any time. Most of the time he is able to control his condition, but there are times when, as he says, things go wrong...

    A Real-Life Scene from COPS

    Having once been a pharmaceutical salesman, I am very familiar with the world of diabetics. Certainly, I have empathy with the situation they deal with. But, in the case of a guy like Radman, I'll be damned if I would ever get on any bike again.

    windsheld disconect

    Hey Wade.... $11,000 in maintenance and repairs for one year like I had on my last boat ( Wellcraft...two 427 Chevy's ) will convince you to find something else to do.

    My Effort

    Got to say that's sure a nice looking piece. From my experience with several backrests, however, I'd say your product is going to push the pillion way too far forward. That certainly would depend on the pillion size and so forth but I have found the leading edge of the backrest pad should be...

    How long can you balance

    Just curious about this one. Like all of us, I'm sure, when stopping at red lights, etc. I'll often try and see how long I can stay balanced before having to put my feet down. As I focused more on this endeavor, I found myself getting a little better at increasing my times.....but still only...

    Clutch Line Removal

    listening to all this banter, it makes me happy that I've got a super dealer and that I paid him to switch out all my brake and clutch lines. I'm not the greatest wrench around and I don't mind admitting it. I admire those of you who can tackle this type stuff. I'm sure I end up spending money I...

    Legal Personal Defense on a Bike

    A follow-up story about Florida's stance on self protection....... In south Florida, as a result of a road rage incident, a man got out of his car carrying a large club of some sort. He approached the other car involved and proceeded to bash in the windshield. The other driver, licensed to...

    Legal Personal Defense on a Bike

    Here in Florida, we have a unique circumstance. A State law was passed that allows you to shoot first and ask questions later. It used to be that you were required to try and flee if you felt your life was threatened. Under the new law, if to protect your life or others with you, you can blow...

    Helmet Replacement

    Schuberth says I should replace my helmet every 5 years. Kind of hard to retire a perfectly good-looking $600+ helmet, but I quess I will when the time comes.

    Winter is ********!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Damn. Here I sit, trying like hell to muster some sort of a genuine Christmas spirit and it's 76 degrees outside under a bright blue sky. How is anybody supposed to get in the swing of the holidays with that sort of crap going on? Jacksonville sucks. Think I'll go for a long ride and try and get...

    Skyway windshield spacer

    dgfella.... I'm 5'9" and, with risers, I sit very upright. I use a Schuberth C-2 flip-up helmet.

    Skyway windshield spacer

    I have the VStream shield on an '05. Just installed the shield spacers by Skyway. I settled on the VStream, after trying four other shields, because of overall performance .....quieter, good protection, and no back pressure. While I was not experiencing any excessive buffeting. I do belive the...

    Product review- Diamond Gusset Jeans

    I just received my Diamond Gusset Kevlar jeans. They fit really well. Pricey at $110.00 but, if they can help save my hide even one time, they are worth every penny. I usually ride in more bulky, heavily armored pants but was looking for a somewhat lighter alternative. These look like a good...

    Once in a while

    I'm tooling along at about 70 mph on a local expressway the other day....sparse traffic as it was early in the day on a Saturday. I see, in the mirror, this car coming up on me REALLY FAST. I'm in the left lane of the two going in my direction. The car coming up on me appears to be in the same...

    New helmut design - Schuberth

    I've been using a Schuberth C-2 flip-up model for a couple of years. Aside from their reputation for making a quality product, the main reason I got one was the movable tinted screen feature. It works great....negates the need to fuss with sunglasses. I've ridden in ferocious rains and this...

    Deer Strike - WARNING GRAHPIC OIX

    Last year I rode the Skyline Drive, from start to finish, early one morning. By the time I reached where it joined up to the BRP, I was an absolute basket case. I bet I didn't see over 15 cars the whole way but must have seen at least 250 deer....maybe more. I was absolutely scared to go over 35...

    EOM '07

    I have received a PM from one of our forum members extolling the virtues of Lewisburg and suggesting that it would make a great location for EOM '07. I quess that my affinity for Boone, NC, has some people believing that I represent some sort of obsticle to going anywhere else.....which in...

    EOM '07

    It's about time we nailed down the site for EOM '07. Those of you leaning toward WV need to name a place and circumstances very soon. We then need to have folks chime in and give their preference.... go to a new area or return to Boone. There's great riding all over NC, V, TN, and WV. IT's the...
