That is absolutely incredible! What talent!

I'm pushing 60 (thank goodness I'm not pushing daisies) and have been divorced 20 years. My daughter is 25 and has moved to Louisiana, which is a fair piece from North Carolina. I got my gift the other night when she called and said she and her boyfriend would be doing a whirlwind tour which...

Those were some really good years. I roadraced professionally back in those days and always thought the dirt track guys were absolutely nuts! Flat track is some of the best racing you can find anywhere.

As Dave said, "It is not for the faint of heart." I designed and built a passive solar house back in the late '70s. All I contracted out was the cement work (built on a slab), the electrical, and the plumbing. The rest was done with help from family members--and then 7 or 8 months when I...

I wish you'd have been one of the kids in my neighborhood growing up oldryder.

Same problem with my Givi rack on an '06. Had to start all of the bolts and then tighten each a little before starting the rotation again. I just kept reminding my self that it was Italian craftsmanship. I bought Givi side case mounts for a Honda VFR 800 several years ago, and the fit was so...

I did it and was mocked mercilessly until I could stand it no longer and traded it with a guy for his Russell Day Long--which really clashes with the stock rear seat. ;) WHO CARES! If you don't have a passenger, why spend the extra bucks for matching seats? But then I only wash my bike...

I can't answer your question, but you can. Get your tires to proper operating temp before setting out, and after your first day's ride, check your temps again. That should give you a rule of thumb to go by. A lot of us won't ride without tire plugs of some sort and a portable, compact...

I'm going with OCfjr on this one. I have a Russell Day-Long and I'm twice removed from the guy it was made for. I ran into a fellow who wanted a Sargent, which I had, and he had a Russell, which I wanted. The deal was we traded short term so we could both ride in the other's saddle before a...

I think that more than anything it depends on your butt. I bought a Sargent and about 6 hours with a break in the middle was all I could do on it. Others really like them. A fellow on the forum saw my similar comment in another thread, and he had a Russell he wanted to trade for a Sargent. I...

But is it a dry heat... I liken riding in such temps like being in a convection oven. It is more comfy with the visor closed than open. I can see where it might even be more comfy in a Roadcrafter than mesh. Not to mention the dehydration threat.

Checks are in the mail to all forum members who need help with this purchase.

Bull, Take a look at the Kushitani racing glove. I use it summer, spring, and fall, only giving it up when I need a warmer glove for winter. They don't have a molded knuckle. Instead, they have a second padded piece that is meant to protect the knuckles and back of the hand. They are a full...

What little reporting the press has done on the Mp3 indicates that these scooters have exceptional front end grip. Plus, if I remember correctly, as you come to a standstill you can lock the front wheels upright so you don't have to take your feet off the floorboards. Maybe these kinds of...

As an employment law attorney (no ****), I don't suggest this kind of romance at work. But who is to argue with an elephant? I think the company needs a "love contract" with its employees. Was this consensual? I need to interview both parties to sort this out. This might be tough to defend...

I've not met Tyler, but I've been a forum member for several years and have appreciated and laughed at her posts. With this outpouring of love, it is apparent how, over the years, she has touched the hearts of those who have met her. I'm not a religious person and won't pray for what I need...

I'm a bit closer than Louisiana, and you are welcome to test ride mine (on your bike of course!) Just a sit doesn't tell you much. As soon as my butt hits my Sargent seat it feels like sitting on a 2x6. But I can do 3 hours or so before I go numb. I'm not a big fan of it, but then I couldn't...

It sure would get me thinking. That V4 is about as sweet a motor there is. I had an '03, and even with Helibars I couldn't get enough weight off of my wrists, which really limited the bikes usefulness. If the VFR 1200 had a bit more of an upright stance, maybe...

+1 and Gunny to the Cycleport kevlar mesh.

I don't know that I've ever seen a last lap as exciting as this one. I was up out of my chair hollering at the TV! In the post race interview Stoner said he was sick, cramping, and weak, and that it was getting worse.
