I picked one up on eBay a little over a week ago and there were 3 for sale at that time. I picked up one off a 2010 reported to only have 55k miles on it. Bearings are in good shape and seal look decent. I'm just repacking the bearings and swapping it out as soon as my replacement rear shock...

The new kids bring moonshine as an offering to the cool kids in order to gain acceptance. Ask any of the cool kids, they'll tell you.

We have a place near me called Tool Shed of America that I have bought trailer wheels and tires in the past. I have a 6 x 12 enclosed cargo trailer with 205/75/15 I think tires and I was able to buy tires and wheels already mounted form these people cheaper than I could find to just buy the...

While it theoretically might be possible I can't imagine it being cost effective. Splitting the cases to remove and reinstall all the new parts would be a serious undertaking. A complete engine swap from a donor bike would make more sense but even doing that I don't think the gains would...

Congrats to Tony! That's one record I have NO desire to even attempt.

I got a similar mark on one of my bag lids when I got to close to one of those painted concrete posts at a gas pump. Is it possible you may have done something similar and not realized it until later or even the next day? Not saying this wasn't malicious just asking.

I had a bad experience with State Farm several years ago regarding bike insurance and while they still cover my home and truck they will NEVER again get my bike business.Consider Progressive, Geico, or one of the companies that pushes bike insurance as a specialty. If the bike is not currently...

Even with ignition switch having been recalled at this point it's still a 10 year old switch that's been used countless times. I would start with checking the battery but if it tests good check the switch.

Absolutely stunning! Thank you for sharing these.

Chatter on the Iron Butt forum indicates the IBA website is getting some form of software upgrade and should be back up soon.

Saw a posting on FB this morning I thought appropriate."Of course the winner for the IBR was a woman, look at the time she saved by stopping and asking directions. None of the men would do that" Keep in mind this is purely meant in jest! Wendy rocks and deserves full credit for planning and...

I think the saddest parts about the rally being over besides the disappointment of those riders who had to withdraw or DNF due to circumstances beyond their control is that now my employers will once again expect me to be productive at work.

So does this suddenly increase its value? Can I now charge people to sit on it or ride it? Are there going to be sponsorship offers to cover my costs of bringing it to event? Hmmm.......

The source of the oil leak on JD's BMW appear to be high up and centered over the front of the motor. Without stripping anything off the bike for a better view there looks to be some kind of a sending unit or sensor I can't really tell. Oil has poured out and sprayed down both sides and across...

My bike didn't start the rally but it appears it will finish it! Go JD Smith!

This actually isn't the first version of an air conditioned helmet. I remember reading in Motorcycle Consumer News back in the late 1980's or early 1990's about AGV bringing out a full face helmet with some form of air conditioning and they tested it. I recall it being way too heavy and testers...

Does his P.O. know he's left the state?

That is Gregg.

I believe I saw penalty points start at 8:00 pm and DNF is anything after 10:00 pm but don't hold me to it. What rallies I have done, 31 hour variants, there is usually a "hard stop" time after which you will be very sad.

I believe in the past some riders have figured out that the penalty points for arriving late could be offset by the right bonuses. It's a risky move but the winners are the ones who can weigh the risks and make the right decisions.I'm not much of a gambler and would be nervous beyond belief...
