    Cycle Gear is buying RevZilla...

    First off I dont understand all the animosity toward Cycle Gear, honestly without them a lot of riders desiring to suit up and try to be safe would be without options as Cycle Gear is probably the only store that can suit up a new rider from head to toe for such a price. Further more they have...

    2006 Altitude recall question on my new to me FJR

    Same thing I ran into as I bought my 06 last year with only 3k miles on her and she had never seen a dealership after the day she was bought so none of the recalls and such were done. So as a result I wont ever get the instant mileage issue fixed or the altitude fix done for free. I herd that a...

Im fortunate as I work with a great bunch of guys and in our department of 30 guys at least 20 of us ride some brand of 2 wheel fun machine. My...

    is the asphalt going up to Caesar's Head still crap? I hope they repave that road this year. FYI 176 north of Tryon is awesome also 64 from Hendersonville down to lake lure is good.

    1st Century maintenance, suspension upgrade and general maintenance advice

    affordable option is gen 3 rear shock new from what ive seen in a few posts around here, little firmer than gen 1 and 2 and a lot less $ than aftermarket options. I will probably just change my shock to a single progressive spring rated for my weight and call it good from Hyperpro. also some...
