    Sidi Adventure Gore-Tex Boots

    Gore-Tex was also nice to have when purchased for a competitive price as the non Gore version of the same boot :)

    Sidi Adventure Gore-Tex Boots

    As noted in the earlier posts, I've recently purchased the Sidi Adventure Gore-Tex as a replacement for my old Oxtar Air-tech XCR boots. They are size 45 (fit my US size 11 foot well), and I paid $368.77 including shipping from Germany in October 2011. I purchased these boots from fc-moto...

    Brrrrr it's "chilly" and the bike won't start

    I used to have the same trouble with my '05, which left me stranded once and thankfully started another while rolling down the incline of a parking garage in the cold. Both times were sub-30 degree starts where the bike had a long cold-soak time. I've started running lighter weight oil in the...

    faring

    Hit up Hobby Lobby or your favorite craft store and get a small sheet of fiberglass and some epoxy/hardener. I guess the same effect could be had with JB Weld. If this is right at the bottom margins of the fairing, I'd also look into the heat tolerance of your epoxy method.

    This Would Have Been Harder to Explain on an FJR

    What if she knew she was going to die and had elected to not obtain medical treatment? I'm repeatedly surprised and pleased to see the number of people out there with advanced directives. Not everybody should seek help. I do feel bad for the guy though. If she had advanced directives set in...

    Again..

    I too am close to where you both are/have been. I have a 11 year old arthritis ridden girl and a 12 y.o. first family pet with terminal neurofibrosarcoma after 6 years of treatment, surgeries, and watchful waiting with some of the best family years ever. We finally got to a point where...

    Hand Warmers

    Are the Quadboss covers large enough to fit over Vstrom hand guards?

    HID conversion--Gen!

    I also have run the "Digital" brand kit from Retro-Solutions after my initial fleabay set of HID lights had one bulb go out following several years of use. I purchased them on 10/26/2010 and haven't had to think much about them since installation. The price was a little extra compared to some...

    I want to play!

    Looked like a blast. It was also fun to hear the boy go "whooooooaaaa" at almost the same spots where I was while watching the video.

    Thunderhill Raceway, Halloween Day

    Looks extremely fun, working those adrenal glands as hard as it was working your mind.

    Engine miss

    With your throttle body synch tool connected, try to lock the throttle again at 3500RPM or 4K RPM and see if it still persists. May be a leak in one of your TBS nipple port caps. I had one that was cracked pretty bad. I could get my TBS to synch up really well but the bike ran oddly after...

    Peak RPM for Max Fuel Economy?

    My absolute best fuel economy..... just over idle in 5th gear cruising through park roads. Either way, a cost/benefit analysis makes it worthwhile to drive above your maximal fuel economy rating because of the aforementioned increased cost of being on the road for a longer period of time on...

    Sidi Adventure Gore-Tex Boots

    They arrived today. I'll try to post initial review in another thread after I can give an honest impression. My first impression is similar to my impression of cycleport/motoport gear.... stiff but some quality gear.

    Sidi Adventure Gore-Tex Boots

    International shipping seems to be taking forever.... the boots have been processed in the "export center" and are awaiting "forwarding to destination country".

    Shorai Battery - not good in cold

    Odd the differences between bikes... his start at 30F was better than what I experienced with the OEM battery and Westco batteries (two separate ones) used over the past several winters with my 05 ownership. I do see a noticeable difference in cold cranking speed when using a lighter weight oil...

    For any of you that ever had Hot Wheels,

    Impressive. Makes me wish I had that to enjoy as a child... or even as an adult :)

    Last Minute Trip

    Hey everyone, I know it's last minute, but I plan on making the following day trip tomorrow. Clicky here. Anybody who'd like to join me can meet up at the Chevron at the corner of Northwest Highway and Park Road in Grapevine with kickstands up at 0600. If you'd like the route for your GPS...

    Ebbett's to the top of Monitor...

    Looks like a nice smooth piece of road. It was interesting to watch the vegetation change with your altitude. Nice video quality as well. Well done.

    Performance Award on 4 wheels last night

    The last word says it all. WOW. He needs to return to training.
