:lmaosmiley: :rofl: Man, that hits way too close to home!!

You might not want to do that in public.... :lol: Try to determine where the heat is coming from, instead of telling us which part of you is hot (oh, that don't sound right either!!!)

+1 Time to sell that 95K bike to some poor sucker and replace it with a new LD platform. But of course, if you do that, we won't have the benefit of reading all your stories of the woe to come. :lol: All kidding aside, if it's really that small of a leak, I'd be tempted to let it go awhile...

I was in on the 2006 Wilbers GB and I really like the rear shock action. The settings were perfect right from the box. The front springs were an improvement, but not enough to solve the horribly weak front suspension on my '05 - so the forks went to GP Suspension for revalving and heavier...

Hypnotist to TWN: "You will post on an internet forum every time you think about having a cigarette". TWN to Hypnotist: :dribble: :lol: :lol: :lol: On a more serious note, seeking help/advice from others who suffer the same addiction is a HUGE step in the process of ending an...

+1 Why is it such a big deal to close a thread? It wasn't deleted, the points for and against still stand. Having thought it over, I have to agree it WAS getting political. There's plenty of other threads. Move on. +1 - definitely bad form. Pulling ***** moves like that is a sure sign that...

Use Google and you'll find several websites with calculators you can use and/or buy. It's really not that complicated, consisting of three dominant factors - # of drinks, body weight, and time elapsed since you began consuming alcohol.

When the punishment is sufficient to deter the crime, the crime will decrease. Simple, really. Gee, I'll just bet that 'ol assembly line is collecting LOTS of hefty fines. Step right up folks, keep movin', pay the bailiff on your way out, don't forget to stop back in a few months or so! Now...

The coolest thing about highway pegs on an FJR is that Harley riders see your legs sticking out in the wind as you approach - they figure you must be on American Iron if you're ridin' that way, so they wave......and then pull their hand in real quick when they realize it's a rice grinder! Makes...

You might pull a spark plug and see if it's wet or not. Does the exhaust smell like unburned fuel? It should if fuel has been getting through. Think it's not getting gas? You might try putting a small amount of fuel into the intake and try cranking - see if it starts and then quits when the fuel...

I don't think the Hard/Soft setting on the stock rear shock does anything to affect preload - I'm pretty sure it only changes damping. And I agree that it has little effect. Poor adjustability of the rear shock was one reason I binned it and got a Wilbers with less than 3K on my bike. If...

It's also worth keeping in mind that handling in general has a lot to do with suspension setup. Was there a noticeable difference in tire profile between your last tire and the Avon? If so, tinkering with ride height or or making other minor adjustments might very well tune out this tendency to...

+1 to Rad's post except for one small addition: The quality of driving and tolerance for others on the road (biker and non-biker) varies in proportion to population density of a given area. Greater population density always makes things worse. It's just excess tension in the concrete jungle.

That sounds like sour grapes from people who have great paying jobs they dislike. Not accusing anyone in particular, I just think it's BS advice. :o There's no Utopia Job. All jobs have good days and days you wish you'd never heard of the damn place. That's life. I'm not saying you should...

At least they painted it silver. All the old guys will rush out and buy it becasue it matches their hair. :lol:

Rhetorical question: How would you feel about the police if this ****** drove into the side of a car containing your family, while the cops calmly, collectively putted along behind like good boys and girls ought to do? Sorry, but in this case I'd vote for Texas justice. Just FYI, I'm not a...

Sorry bro, I gotta disagree with the "major source of urban noise" bit. Urban noise, yes, but major source? No way. Here's a short list of Things That Make Racket In The City: Cop/Firetruck/Ambulance sirens Brake squeal on garbage trucks at 6AM Semis using their jake brakes to decelerate The...

And the correct reply, with a completely straight face: "Oh no, officer, that's actually payback for all the traffic tickets I've gotten over the years. You see, I spent years training that cow to **** on police officers, and I take her with me wherever I go." Imagine the look on the guys...

So, just out of curiosity, why is a guy from TX reading a worthless POS rag like the Mpls Star/Tribune? Hope you don't ever expect to see any objective news in that piece of *******. I'd know, I used to live there. I pretty much agree with Skoot on the loud pipes deal, but did you see the other...

8. Many of them are convinced they'll go over the handlebars if they use the front brake. Hence, you prolly braked at a rate that was gentle for you, but downright scary for him.
