    Off-Road: Innovation

    Nothing beats having nearly 50 hp in a 260-275 lb. package The "Flipside" of the Rekluse is on a ride recently, a nooby to the Rekluse was having starting/idling issues (yours truly lent a leg more than once) and during one of the many restarts literally wheelied right toward my son on his...

    Barber Motorcycle Museum in Birmingham, AL!

    A buddy and I visited Barber in 2005 on a trip from AZ to VA and absolutely consider that one of the high points of the trip. Our scheduling worked out poorly being caught in a traffic jamb in the southern heat for hours (no lane sharing!) so we arrived about an hour before they were to close...

    California Lane Splitting Guidelines Now Being Developed--UPDATED 5/18

    I'm sure that was an impetus for this proposal. What legislators forget is that Darwin eventually takes care of those type of violators. IMHO proposals like this take away discretion from our LEO's thinking they (Legislators) are better at Law Enforcement than the guys on the street. I'm with...

    BeemerDonS crashes, is in hospital.

    Don, Looks like my buds at AirEvac flew you in an Astar, glad they showed up and I'm sure you got excellent care from them. BTW, did you ask them to buzz the tower or was the pattern full? Get well quick my friend. JW

    An ode to Presidents day.

    Thanks Greg for the reminder about Hwy 3. I chased MadMike up the entire length one day (sort of kept Feeger and Fairlaner in sight) and enjoyed every mile. It's a gGreat road that doesn't get enough press, but probably just as well. Caltrans might catch wind of that and put it on their...

    BeemerDonS crashes, is in hospital.

    Dang it son,don't be scaring us like that! Injuries sound lousy, but as they say, it could always be worse, but pain is pain. I'm guessing you'll be needing some liquid refreshment to get you though the recovery process and wanted to share my story. While in the hospital years ago after my...

    Rick Mayer Seats?

    Sorry to read all of these lousy experiences. I did two ride in appointments at Rick's in Anderson and he was spot on with everything he did and said. He gave me a break on the seat made for my lovely wife and took me to lunch both times. I enjoyed my time chatting with him and did not hear...

    ummm, me likey, a lot!

    That's exactly what I thought of when I saw the AF pic, looked to me to be an updated CR500. I hear those front fenders work good as a temporary arm splint for "field repairs" until you get to the ER.

    Old Michael Compilation (Put Your Old Michael Jokes Here)

    Marky Mark, if'n you think her eyes detract from her attractiveness, you'd better stay on your bench with the other Geezer!

    A tale of skinny bikes on skinny trails.

    Thanks for the write up Brad and the boys are doing fine, thank you. Trail #8 was a doozy as it really kept your attention and had me wishing for much better protection than I was wearing should, in your words "gravity prevail"! You did an exemplary job herding the big girl around, not sure...

    Helping the Danes!

    I'm not one to point fingers, but I seem to recall that on Old Michael's Memorial Ride a while back that Bugnator dropped his spoon at lunch and OM was quick to replace it for him. Funny thing though, I never noticed the string.....

    I believe that's why they call them "adventure bikes".

    Bike Listing To The Right

    This /\. My Cal-Sci Large exhibited the same characteristics, but mine was more along the lines that the OP described in that the bike just lists to one side needing a huge body lean in put to keep it straight. Mine pulled to the left in all conditions not influenced by road composition or...

    First Gen I owner to identify these, might get them.

    Well Don, a man has to know his limitations. Here's a guy I've chatted with a number of times who doesn't subscribe to that theory and did his SS1K on a dirt bike, just like mine. https://www.thumpertalk.com/topic/1108972-doing-the-unthinkable-on-a-beta/
