    Seat Height

    Well, I ended up getting me a custom seat from Rich's as he's got his shop in my neighborhood. In the beginning though, while searching for the right seat I contemplated on a Corbin a lot, as I liked their pricing, yet decided against it, as I actually needed a build up to accommodate my 34"...

    2013 Triumph Trophy review

    Same here Fontanaman, I like the idea to keep looking over the fence, though I doubt that I will change, but you never know. I'm still itching for a Beemer or Triumph test ride. Both bikes look decent, and feel right, well at least I sat on a Beemer already and I liked the weight distribution a...

    It was supposed to be sunny.....

    @Escapefjrtist, Great that you've been able to hit the road too. @Hudson, On second thought, I think I'll follow your lead and will give it a few more hundred miles before I'll make my call on the fork. Like I wrote, I liked the feel of it a lot, wasn't under-sprung anymore just very steady...

    It was supposed to be sunny.....

    @ hppants, Yep what you are referring to is the good ol' galloping Gerty..she went down with a big boom. The new bridges have taken all whoop's in to account so I feel quite good about it. Must be, since they charge you on the way out $5 per vehicle LOL. @ Fontanaman, I was afraid that the...

    It was supposed to be sunny.....

    Hey Old Michael, Thanks a lot, yes I was damn close but there's just so much you can eat on pancake dough, which I suspect is the reason, that I was the 116th trying and failing.... V RPK

    LED Driving lights

    Well I've bought them and will install them soon, I found price and the way they're build give you the biggest bang for your buck you spend! I, like zom, plan to install them to the holding points of the front fender. Think you can't go wrong with them. Sure you've got ere lots of treads with...

    Heated gear- less MPGs?

    Hey Knifemaker, long time no speak nor write. I hope all is good with ya. Let me try to explain that one, coming from a cages life.....Our FeeJay's electric system is build to suffice the supply of electricity during "normal" 'n then some.... Now depending on that "and then some" will add to...

    2 bikes meet head to head...never pass on blind curves.

    Oh well, what can one say....I suppose it was a local thinking, he is untouchable, as he can scoot by that darn bus. Bad bad decision leading to a worse situation...Hope those fellas made it out alive!! PS: I love my life and hell would have to freeze over or pigs can fly before I pass another...

    GO pro

    I've got the GO Pro on special when they brought the new fancy model out, so the price went drastically down to $120....I mount my GOPro on to my bike, using their car kit, that suction cap is ultra strong and being mounted mostly upfront can take easily 80+ mph. The very only downside I see on...

    Shaky Windshield

    Hey Donal, I've got a off topic question. How do you get your fancy renaming of a URL link. The old forum software gave you right at the insert menu the option to give a link a particular name...I don't seem to find that in the new software! THX a lot V RPK

    Shaky Windshield

    My FeeJay does that too, yet I don't pay much attention to it. Reason? I can rest my case, because the windshield has to "wiggle/move" since the front (obviously) gets hit the most from the wind, needs to let go. If the windshield would stay unmovable in place, would/could introduce torsion...
