Always yield to superior tonnage.

What a good wife you have!. And, I must commend you on cutting back on the non-motorcycling stuff. When I got laid off about a year ago, we went through the same questioning of what do we really want/need, what can we do without. Turns out, we are both willing to sacrifice the "extras", in...

If I ride down to the post office and pick up my unemployment check, does that count?

I would add, in addition to not chopping the throttle all the way to off, use one or two fingers on the front brake while keeping throttle open. Takes practice to apply throttle and brake simultaneously, but can make for really smooth cornering.

And, even you make a mistake, hey, you still learn something. Like...***, I coulda saved a lot of work and time, if I had done B, before A, ya know? Take notes, take pics, cause the next time, you will NOT! remember every detail of what you did, and there ain't much that's more aggravatin'...

Are you speaking of a condom catheter here?

I just tried it. Told it to route me from Portland OR to Boise, ID, and to avoid highways. I thought that meant "avoid freeways", but apparently not, as it routed me totally on I84 all the way. It's crap.

I would suggest the person find a large open lot and work specifically on starting and stopping smoothly, until he or she has confidence in their low speed maneuvering skills. My wife had problems with tipping over during u-turns and similar. She ended up adding a sidecar to her Harley, and...

I sure like mine. It is mounted on an oversized Cal Sci window. If I am not riding in turbulence created by a car or truck in front of me, I get absolutely no turbulence or wind noise generated by my helmet, though I can hear the wind moaning through the cut out on the lower section of the Cal...

Better. Ceramic wire nuts. Will take the heat, won't rust, fill with dialectric or silicone first, then screw on.

Thank ya! I think it looks even better in B&W! Or maybe not.

Gunny. I likey! Edit: I wonder how many of them would beat the FJR in the 1/4 mile?

FWIW, I guess most of us usually think of having a collision with another vehicle as a bike contacting a cage, not another bike. My closest vehicle to vehicle call was with another motorcycle, being ridden by my wife, coming up from behind. Several years ago we were out on a cruise, she...

This is a great shot. Wonder how it would look in B&W? Kinda Ansel Adamish maybe? Not bad prose either. Guess that's why you make the big bucks as forum admin. Wifey and I are going to catch the Canadian bonus dam and the rest of them in August. She really wants to net the nice trophy.

For all we know this issue may have already caused one or more serious crashes or fatalities. If it has caused a crash fatality, it seems likely to me that a crash investigation, if one is done, would be unlikely to uncover this problem. With the rider dead, it would most likely be chalked up...

I try to remember to arch my lower back a little and take the weight off my arms and shoulders as often as I can, but find myself slipping back to bad habits frequently. I think it takes a lot of saddle time to get this posture as second nature. But it does work. I try to ride with my hands...

The spidy bites again. :angry2:

Mine is still bone stock.

Wow! I don't know you guys well, but I did have a great time running behind Auburn and BR during the Raid on Maupin ride last fall. I will say that probably my greatest worry in my day to day riding, which is mostly in rural SW Washington and around Portland, is hitting a deer. My thoughts...

My 06 has always done this. I think it is normal. Does it maybe three times on a cold start during the first minute or two of warmup, then smooths right out. Kinda sounds and feels like "klunk".
