    #1 safety additions to your FJR

    I've added 3M Solas tape to my bake in places where it blends in with the shape of the bike. Except for the black stripe on the sides of the saddle bags, you probably wouldn't see it in the daytime unless it was pointed out to you. I should take pics and load 'em on the forum.

    Time to get a dremel.

    Here's a question for the tech guys here. Which dremel is the most practical: cord or cordless? I'm buying a dremel in the next week so I can finally install the datel on my bike. Does it make a big difference if I get a dremel with the most power or not? Thanks!

    helmet holders

    +1 side cases A few months ago I purchased a 1/2 inch steel cable w/ plastic covering from Harbor Freight about 4 feet long. I keep it wound around the license plate and use it to lock down both my helmet and Cycleport jacket via the luggage bar. Though it's not theft proof the thick cable and...

    Film on the screen?

    Has anyone put 3m film or similar type product on their windshield? I'm wondering cuz I have a new cb +3+2 non-flip that's about to be installed. Maybe there's no need to protect the screen from being dinged?

    New Stable!!!

    I was gonna say if my ex hadn't walked out on our marriage back 2001 then she could've shared this home! Though I live at high-altitude the house has direct southern exposure so snow melts fast. I got 8" of snow last weekend and it was all gone by Tue (However the houses on the northern side of...

    New Stable!!!

    After years of renting, low-paying jobs, not having any money, bankruptcy, and whatever else life could throw at me... I now have my own home! It's mine! This has been a very long time coming. And not just a house but a beautiful one on a mountain at 9,200 feet in the foothills outside Denver...

    It's Official - This Winter Sucks ***

    This winter in CO is colder than normal. Not happy with it. I love the snow here in Denver cuz if it snows on Mon it's gone by Thur. But the colder temps are keeping me off the bike. Can't wait till summer. In 2007 & 08 I rode up to mid-December. I've ridden only one time since Nov. I blame it...

    The Who ROCKED halftime

    I'm so done with the super bowl getting acts from 30-40 years ago. I like The Who, but not enough to watch it during halftime. Like always, halftime is a huge letdown. Why they don't choose someone who is current and hot and popular beats me.

    Congratulations Saint fans!

    Congrats to the Saints. I picked either the Saints or Vikes to win the superbowl back in Sep. I'm happy.

    Prayers to Haiti.

    After living and traveling in third-world countries I can personally testify that conditions in those regions are horrible in the absence of a major catstrophe. The earthquake in Haiti has made a very bad situation into a very-bad-times-100 situation. My heart goes out to the victims and I will...

    Alabama 2009 Nat'l Champions

    Oops! Yeah, misread the stat on that one. That historical mark goes to Texas. Yeah it sucks that McCoy was out of the game. But it's part of the game and no one knows if TX would have won with him in there or not. Ingram left the Auburn game in the first 10 mins due to a hip injury. Would that...

    Alabama 2009 Nat'l Champions

    Congrats to Bama for playing one of the most difficult schedules in the nation this past year, going undefeated, and winning the nat'l title. They beat 7 top 20 teams this year. They annihilated last year's nat'l champion. They made high-school mistakes during the 1st qtr of tonight's game...

    Move Your Money

    It's just a part of a slowing economy to see banks fails. A bank is a business just like a retail store, service center, professional service office, etc. A lot of people freak out when the media highlights a failed bank. But they really don't care when a name-brand retail store goes under...

    Wife lost job today

    +1 on the delivery stories. See how much unemployment she would receive compared to working retail or pizza delivery. The economy has hurt food delivery but this varies city by city. When I worked at a domino's a few years ago I averaged $15 per hr after paying for gas. Around the holidays is a...

    Considering to build instead of buying.

    So I'm at a juncture where I'm considering buying a home and nabbing the $8k tax credit, or continuing to rent cheaply and save money in order to build a home in about 2 years. I'm fully aware there are a lot more headaches involved with building, and a lot more homework. But I sense the reward...

    SLO SAINTS GO

    Haha! That's a good one. However I still stand by the premonition that the Saints or Vikings will win the super bowl this NFL season.
