    Gen 1 ignition switch failure

    Something similar happened to me last week. I washed the bike and evidently got some water in or near the ignition switch. I rode it to work the next day, and after work I went out to go home, and the switch would not turn. It was like it was in a locked position. I eventually got it turned...

    Drum roll please...

    Congratulations! The more I see the Spyder, the more I want one. I think they would be a blast to ride especially on long trips. I would think you could put some cool farkles on that thing. I've heard steering one can be tricky and you have to get used to it. Please give us some ride reports!

    First 2up ride and report

    great ride report! You broke a rule though. You must include a food shot when dining! :) I do want to give you a warning. When doing a u-turn, try and keep the bike up as straight as possible, tell your passenger to sit straight up on the bike, and take the turn as wide as possible. I...

    Engine hesitation/stall

    Are you letting the bike warm up to 2 bars before putting it in gear?

    Rotella T6 Syn w/o STP Oil treatment.

    I don't know if the short change had anything to do with it. I plan on changing it next after 3,000 miles or so. I will get some pics. I'm telling you the oil I took out last fall looked great and had a nice smooth feel to it. With a much thicker texture then your normal used oil feel. I...

    Rotella T6 Syn w/o STP Oil treatment.

    Last fall I put some STP OT in and ran it a few thousand miles before changing the oil for the winter. The look and feel of the used oil that came out looked great. It was a carmel color, not your typical black color you see after an oil change. I have never seen better looking oil. I'm...

    Rotella T6 Syn w/o STP Oil treatment.

    two words for STP Oil Treatment - Zinc dithiophosphate Isn't higher levels of ZDDP what we desire in our oils which is what lacks in most todays oils?

    Scorpion RLink

    This sounds like a great product, but for $600.00 that's a bit salty!

    Laptop/Notebook

    What the F$ck am I doing arguing about what the best $300 laptop is? Kinda moronic ain't it? In all seriousness get a laptop that will give you the best battery life. You'll appreciate not having to find a power source for your laptop after 45 minutes for example. Everything else is...

    Couples ride - two up touring - floating the idea

    Having to do a quick maneuver with 2-up in a difficult situation regardless of your riding ability is something I'd like to refrain from experiencing. I guess I'm just a *****! :)

    Couples ride - two up touring - floating the idea

    Let see, go fast through the twisties with the wife on the back punching your back to slow down every 3/4 mile? And then when you get to the hotel she's pissed because you went so fast. Or you can cruise through the twisties, your wife's in a good mood when you get the hotel, and you have a...
