    Don't back up!!!!

    Don't forget to give Gary at Mondak motors a call. He might save you some more cash. Or, check the price to get the entire bike panted. When I was recently hit my cost was a little under $900 for nbew plastic, but I got the scratchs filled and the entire bike painted for $1100. Just a thought

    My dealer of choice closed just before x-mas. Now I deal with a dealer I don't care much for.

    Commuting on bike

    I have a empty file cabnet under my desk that I have five pants and polo shirts in. Every Monday I bring a new set into work and keep them in the drawer. My shoes are under my desk pushed back out of view. Each day I put the pants and shirt I wore that day into a saddle bag and take them home to...

    Not a ride report

    This is not much of a ride report, rather a teaching report. As some of you may know, I am a RiderCoach that avoids teaching on the Buell Blast motorcycle. I consider them unsafe for beginners who do not having riding experience. The community college I prefer to teach for runs three ranges...

    Battery question

    Thanks for the info. I and pretty sure I don't have the skills to install VW parts onto my trailer. I will just wait and see if I have issues. So far, no issues.

    Battery question

    I have a question for the battery experts. I pull a trailer with my FJR. I have been giving some thought to installing a battery in the trailer to run the electric brakes. To date, I have not used the trailer and my heated grips at the same time. In addition, I have not spent much time pulling...

    Slap Chop

    Monday morning as I was heading out to go to work I noticed a infomercial on TV that caught my eye. First, it was the guy who was arrested a few months back for slapping a hooker. The story is he slapped her for biting his tongue while kissing. I found humor in this, what was he doing kissing a...

    2 up questions

    Start with small road trips at first. I would not make her first ride over 30 minutes. I stressed ATGATT by explaining it is a lot like seat belts and air bags. Most people never need the seat belt or airbag, but it is just in case. Then avoid any why questions. Why do the pants need knee...

    Isn't it cool when...

    I left Park City, UT, WFO, on Saturday night due to a family matter. As I drove west to Reno NV, I witnessed an amazing sunset. Hours later, I saw an amazing sunrise in my mirrors. It was difficult to focus on the road in front of me when I wanted to watch the mirrors.

    Paint Protection

    So, I have seen many types of protection for the tanks. However, I am not having a problem with the tank being scratched. The plastic piece under the tank where my knees tend to touch is what gets scratched. Does anyone know of a product that covers this section? On a side note, you can link to...

The first time I do it...

    Need LARGE pants

    I saw this thread and thought of two posts over on advrider. Link one Link two I think MotoPort is top notch and you could not go wrong. If, you decide to go with TourMaster give Gary at Mondak a call and you should make the $200 limit.

    G2 Throttle tube for 06-07 FJR

    This is install can be easy, or a complete pain in the butt. Really, a huge pain in the butt. Since you have the AE model with the electric grips pay close attention to the positions of the wires coming from the grip and how they are placed in the housing. I suggest using a black marker of...
