    Cool moves on a police bike

    This guy must have run through this course hundreds of times. If you watch, he never has the wrong line, never has to make even the slightest adjustment in any of his turns.

    SS2k Gold Attempt SPOT

    Sorry - I didn't realize that. Now that's just embarrassing. Limit around here is mostly 65

    Headlight bulb replacement

    Only if you believe in the theory that light is a stream of particles and not a wave. If you put in brighter tail lights, will your bike go faster? How about a "laser"?

    SS2k Gold Attempt SPOT

    Last checked in at 78.9 mph - good job! Is there a way to display the miles in one of the SPOT displays? I could probably figure it out point to point using the longitude and latitude, but that would take effort on my part.

    Problems parking on slope

    I actually never noticed anything racial about the original post subject line until you pointed it out. So who's the racist here? That's a pretty kickstand plate. Aren't you worried about scratching it? Do you notice a difference in it's performance from the reduction in weight? I've got one...

    by the way - if you go back and edit your post using the "Full Edit" mode, you can add "SOLD" to your post subject line. "Share and Enjoy"

    How soon can u ride after you get nut-zipped?

    From experience I know for a fact that you should do AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE for that first weekend. I decided to get up on Sunday afternoon (surgery on Friday - as they almost always are) to sweep out the garage. Felt fine, until Monday morning, then Hematoma City. You can look it up on your...

    Suspiciously Leaky Valve Stem

    You can buy replacement Schrader valve cores (the part inside the valve stem) and the little valve removal tool for a few dollars. I've replaced a couple over the years that someone injected "Slime" into the tire through. Or you can use the little valve removal tool to tighten your existing...

    2007 AE Downshifting Problems

    Mine also won't shift down more than 1 gear when fully stopped. I believe that is normal for the AE centrifugal clutch.

    Might want to check that rear subframe for cracks.

    FJR Unsuitable for Passenger with Top Box Fitted?

    Has anyone had an issue with subframe cracks when running the GIVI SR357 rack? I just picked one up to look into modifying the mounting so that no weight is on the rear subframe bulkhead and noticed how freaking heavy it is - almost 8 lbs. The stock one cant be more than 2 or 3 lbs soaking...

    Archaeopteryx sailplane

    At least you wont dirty the interior of the plane when you crap your pants/wet yourself as the ground comes rushing up at you, since the bomb-bay door is open. Just look out below!!!

    Archaeopteryx sailplane

    The whole sticking-your-legs-out-the-bottom-to-land is the part that worries me. Sort of Flinstone-y.

    Small Bag that Fits on Luggage Rack

    Don't buy a big bag. You cant put much more than a few pounds on the tail section anyway. I would find somethig to fit on teh rear seat if you're not using it.

    Frickin Weather

    I hate to do this to you, but this was the view out my office window about two weeks ago. Those are cherry blossoms. If it makes you feel any better, it looked like it was snowing when the petals fell gently to the ground carried by a warm breeze. I was up in Western NY at the end of March...

    Side bags

    From what I recall, the outer skin is glued to the inner, making it damn near impossible to separate them. I've been tempted to run a dremel tool along the edge to separate them to get a better look at the locking mechanism and possibly change out the plastic locking tab (the thing that...

    Out of Nothing - Bonneville Land Speed Racing Movie

    Is that Ryan Stiles from "Whose Line Is It Anyway"? I wondered what happened to that dude. I also highly recommend "The World's Fastest Indian"
