    Bucks Lake/Laporte Rd's last ride over the hill this fall

    The forum's resident attorney will be in touch! Glad you had a good ride, but pics would prove it wasn't just a 30 second daydream while stuck in traffic.

    Off road playing in the dirt...

    This! Colin Edwards (The Texas Tornado) has a boot camp where they use 125cc bikes to teach technique and handling skills vs throttle mashing. Even Rossi rides dirt for cross training, so your street riding skills will benefit from sliding around in the dirt as well. My advice is start out with...

    Brushed Finish on OEM Cans - How to?

    I have a right hand can that has a ding in it that you can have for experimentation. You cover the shipping costs and it's yours.

    A Big Shot of Color...Before We're Screwed.

    Tom, thanks for posting these. We just passed through the area (first week of October) and saw much of that from our 6 wheel steed. Colors were best in VT, NH & MA, but a tad bit green in PA, VA & TN. We heard from every local we spoke with that this year was unusually late, but we've enjoyed...

    Trailer Build - hopefully in improvement to my current one

    Cool! A better mousetrap, I love this kind of stuff, subscribed!

    Muzzy full Titanium 4-1 exhaust for sale

    Insert belated groan here...... Where was this offer when I still had my Gen I? Whoever gets this has got to post up an audio clip of it so I can live vicariously through it. Awesome exhaust system!

    Irritants

    Great descriptor for a majority of Pirates on the road. Worse than the 10 over on the straights, sometimes they turn it into an all out drag race, that given a safe place to pass, they always lose!

    8 Years Gone - Tim Bates, TwoWheelNut

    That puppy (tree) is getting huge! Really illustrates how much time has passed since Tim left us. Sorry again for your and the forum's loss of a pretty good dude.

    Took my FJR to the California SuperBike School (with pics)!

    Keith Code is da man! I've been to his school and taken levels 1 - 3 and enjoyed every minute. First two levels I rode my CBR600F4i and for level 3 rode my DRZ400S SuperMoto which was WAAY more fun than the sportbike as handling is everything. Keith and his staff are really sharp, excellent...

    Cletus & Billy Bob

    A collective groan came from the crowd.........., albeit a good groan, but alas still a groan.

    Best route creation software - by far

    Ed, Yep, have map version 2017.2 and map detail set to highest. Problem might be the RV gps I'm using vs. a Zumo that might contain higher detail maps. Even though the RV660 maps are not quite as good as GM, it still shows way more detail than what is depicted in BC. I've figured a work...

    Best route creation software - by far

    Great tutorial Ed, for those that have the patience to go through it. Question on map detail, you might have mentioned it before, but did you purchase maps for Basecamp specifically? Your video shows some great detail on secondary roads that I'm not able to find. I'm using the download map...

    Road to Bodie CA

    Can you spell washboard? If the cruisers are harleys, I doubt they will even notice.....

    Lassen and Shasta. The Pacific Ring Of Fire - Part 1.

    You're right. We plan on being in your neck of the woods soon, check for a PM.

    What he lacks in brains he makes up for in balls

    In EMS we call those jokers "organ donors" as someone might just want to borrow a spleen, liver etc..., but his brain would go unclaimed.

    What to do with our "riding gear" while we are in the museum?

    I've used this retractable cable type for years, works well and doesn't take much room, nor does it weigh much. Like it's been said, it'll only keep the honest people honest. https://www.aerostich.com/retractable-cable-lock.html

    Lemon Pledge and your plastics

    Another great product is Honda Cleaner & Polish. The tech guys at the tracks I used to frequent whined constantly as their inspection stickers would never adhere to my windscreens when treated with this stuff. Last I checked, using it on a Yamaha was NOT committing sacrilege...

    Spot Trackers Half Price

    I agree, customer loyalty used to be valued by many companies but, now being a loyal customer means they've already made their money off of you so they're off to the next wallet. I have one of the originals purchased when first introduced in 2007 and it's still going strong. Great tool, I sure...

    FODS 2016 returns to WV

    Fred, glad you're on the mend and that things weren't worse damage wise to you or the bike. For a replacement, my vote is to go for an Italian steed. I've ridden some of the back roads of WV and will bet that a bike like mine would be the ticket. At 278 lbs. wet with gear, my Beta is the best...
