    Pay It Forward

    I have a bronze-colored Rifle touring windscreen. It's not perfect, but it works great. I just didn't like the fact that it was tinted. Just pay actual shipping cost. I don't have any pics, as it's already boxed up in a complicated two-box arrangement.

    New helmet arrived today

    My brand-new 2010 model Z1R Venom has a build date of May 2009 on it, and for $130 out the door, I ain't gonna worry too much about replacing it in 3 more years (or sooner). Bonus- it's ECE certified!

    Are heated grips worth it?

    I luvs my heated grips (Symtex under Pro Gel Grips w/ Heat-Troller dash mount (partway down the page). I used the heat-shrink tubing on the page linked above on the left bar, and two throttle-side grips, to keep even heat coming through the same-sized grips and matching heating elements. The...

    How much safety do you really give up with a Modular

    Probably not much of a decrease in safety, unless it happens to be open when you crash....

    Found something more slippery than water on paint

    Had to cross a recently-painted double-yellow line right in front of the station yesterday to get to work, after battling the tule fog for 26 miles. Imagine my surprise when it felt like I was riding in the deep sand traps of Carver's "driveway"! Wish I would have checked for mess before it...

    What's the OEM spec for replacing cam chain?

    Hmmm, maybe the good folks from Yamaha quietly created a fix for a faulty situation without making right for all the folks who may get their motors lunched in the near future....

    How can it be legal for two bikes to share a lane and not a bike and a car?

    Hi Visabily clothing & the Police

    Lots of unprotected officers here in Ca. They must be real good and never go down. Wayne from Cycleport told me that none of the motor officers who were wearing the dozen or so suits he's gotten back for repair (after a down) have missed any work, including one who went down after hitting...

    another atgatt success story

    Damn! You were lucky to have gotten away with as little injury as you did. Were you searching for red-light runners as you entered the intersection? If so, was there anything else you think you could have done (or could do differently in the future) to avoid a collision? Inquiring minds want to...

    Things I learned while riding in the rain

    Rode home from work (26 miles) this morning in the season's first storm. The cages have really been heeding the advice from the Highway Patrol to slow down in the wet, but they still don't notice those "Slower Traffic Keep Right" signs. :angry03: I have found no joy whatsoever in riding in...

    The Snell Foundation takes another shot to the chin

    My new Z1R Venom (2010 model) is ECE 22-05 certified, and a local dealer (after letting me ride-test it) sold it to me for $130 out the door (149.95 retail).

    Kleenex highly recommended before viewing

    Wow. This topic kinda got off on an unintended tangent there for a bit. To all who have, are, or will serve, a big thank you and I hope everybody comes home safe. Unfortunately, everybody doesn't, and that's why my prayer to our soldiers is service in the Patriot Guard Riders. All those...
