    BridgeStone BT020 or Metzler MEZ4

    Picked mine up Oct '05 with MEZ4s on it. After reading all I have on forums regarding these tires, I'm leary of them, but so far have no complaints. However, I am EXTREMELY careful on wet roads and so have nothing to compare them to really. I have about 5000 miles on them right now and the...

    Cycle World -or- Motorcyclist?

    Roadrunner is a great magazine formerly edited by Christian Neuhauser (Austrian transplant). It has great travel stories and pics. Also features a "cloverleaf" ride each edition with tank bag maps in the back of the mag. Christian was killed in July and now his widow, Christa, is running the...

    Aerostitch Bluetooth Wireless Communicator

    Goodness. I was ready to call and order my Autocom setup. I know it is possible for folks to have varying experiences with the same products. I admit that I would like a wireless system, but I am not willing to spend the money on what seems viable now. I would like some music and intercom...

    Which Headlight Moduator?

    I called Signal Dynamics to ask them to send me the installation (wiring)instructions. There were none included in the packaging. I couldn't find instructions online, so I asked them to fax the instructions to me. They faxed a letter announcing that they were going to be sending kits upon...

    Which Headlight Moduator?

    Alright, I bought it and it finally got here after 2 week delay because of the Hurricane of the Week. So...fellas...where did you put the toggle switch on your bikes? :confused:

    Tank Protection

    I also have the Mag Knight tank protector. Mine fits (I had to use a heat gun to fit it), but it "sheds" a gummy goo around the edges which I assume is the adhesive that holds the outer side to the magnetic side of the protector. It wipes off with a cleaner. I like the protection which is...

    First Blue Ridge Parkway Trip

    That was a week ago. The leaves will begin to turn in about 1 1/2 weeks.

    Watch Your 6

    Wow. Why is it that our legal system doesn't consider motorcyclists to have the same rights as the drivers of autos? If some cager creams a biker out of neglegence, it's "Oh well, he/she was on a bike." But, let the same cager cream a family of 4 and all Hell breaks loose. I don't understand...

    First Blue Ridge Parkway Trip

    Brazos Parker I don't get to see the mountains often enough. I mostly commute on my bike, but when I do get to the mountains...WOOHOO! Pretty gutsy move coming across to the BRP after this week's snow. ;) I am always afraid the next curve is the one with the black ice. Anyway, I believe...

    First Blue Ridge Parkway Trip

    TheRunyan: I'm joking of course. But man, is this a GREAT state for riding or what!?! There are many many roads I have yet to ride that are way better. The roads around Jefferson/West Jefferson are great as well. But then so are the ones between Mooresville (my home) and Jefferson!!! There...

    Plug 'n' Play Harness For Aftermarket Horns

    :clap: Randy, Got my horns installed this morning and just wanted to say your kit is excellent. The wiring is so nicely done that it will never be mistaken for O.E.M. Thanks for doing this. I could have done it myself, but by the time I measured and fitted, it would have had hours invested...

    First Blue Ridge Parkway Trip

    CRAP!!! Now everyone will know about one of my VERY favorite roads! My parents used to have a camper at the "Triple C Campground". First time I went up there I made a mental note to visit the road on two wheels...VERY NICE! https://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c59/Ratchman/PICT2087.jpg

    Bar-end weights

    I have put another 500 miles on my bike with these and I really like them. They help quite a bit with eliminating/reducing the vibes.

    NePRT

    I get my insurance (and all my farkles) from Wal Mart...the biker's friend! Except that I mix my own oil from combinations of 3-in-1, used cooking oil from the local Taco joint, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, and cooking sherry for a little color. I combine that homemade combo with my own filters...

    Bar-end weights

    I got mine from Manic Salamander last week and put them on right away. I've got about 250 miles on my bike with them so far and can tell a huge difference. I got the black powder coat which looks good on my '05 (blue). There is still the slight buzz adressed above, but the difference is very...

    Where Do You Keep Your Cell Phone

    I keep mine on me (front pocket). I never really thought about being injured by it during an accident. I guess I need to figure our where to keep it so it won't make things worse. It has saved my bacon during a blowout on a previous bike. I was hearing Banjo music from "Deliverance" in my...
