    Great book! But Pirsig isn't late yet. Still alive. Wiki

    NWS Parody - LWD Ewan McGregor Charley Boorman!

    That about sums up my opinion of them too. I liked the support caravan for their 'adventure'! I read the book, and never saw any need to see the movie. Too much falling over and cursing. Nowhere to spend their money.

    2010 Ducati Multistrada 1200 Revealed

    I'm not so sure about those nostrils on the front-end, but I like the way that they've packaged the exhaust system without making a monstrosity out of it. Looks a lot more modern than the agricultural GS's!

    Night critter detector?

    I used to operate an IR camera on P-3 patrol planes, many years ago. Great for seeing clearly in the dark. I also recently researched the FLIR night vision systems for a project at work. For general aviation, helicopters and business jets, the systems start at around $15,000! Cheap for...

    major fu#ck up

    FYI Syd - When using your torque wrench, completely engage the fastener, or plug in this case, by hand or with a ratchet until it is snugged tight. Only then do you use the torque wrench to set the final torque. Good luck in your recovery efforts!

    G. Mule for sharing

    Great tunes! Thanks for the post. I haven't heard of them before, even though I have everything the Allman Bros and Hendrix ever recorded. Bought "Gov't Mule - Live at the Roseland Ballroom" from iTunes for $6.99.

    What is wrong with my left mirror?

    Well done! That's using your noodle. Way to outsmart the machine.

    "Rich. Wanna go for a ride?"

    Great report Michael, as always. Looks like Humboldt county... through the eyes of a local.

    What is wrong with my left mirror?

    Your windshield is not stock. Appears to be an extra-wide Cal Sci. I would suggest removing the W-cover and loosening the seven windshield retaining screws. Then see if you can center the windshield as required to not contact either mirror. Alternate tightening the seven windshield retaining...

    Harley-Davidson is going to discontinue Buell M/C line

    Sounds to me like HD is really in a pickle, and Buell is the casualty.

    Old Michael Goes to Rome

    I knew it was joke for OM to be getting a haircut! He looks like some kinda hippie-wannabe.

    Stacking feeler gauges

    Stack your feeler gages to the desired gap that you need to measure, then double-check the stack thickness with a caliper or micrometer (old KSC Space Shuttle processing measurement requirement).

    My SW-FOG Saturday Diversion

    I organized my upload to Photoshop, creating an album. Then selected the 'share' option and pasted the link to my post. I've had the Arai XD since I first picked up my new '06 FJR. I like the larger face-port and the visor certainly helps when riding up-sun. It does react more to crosswinds...
