    blown officiating call

    The Rams defensive back Coleman has admitted he had decided to take out Saints receiver Lewis because he had been beaten and wanted to save a touchdown. Looks like he made a better choice than he thought he was making.

    what is the highest mph speeding ticket you have had on a motorcycle?

    Wow, I thought I was participating in a fun, nostalgic thread. "Pig" is a hateful term that paints one group of people with one brush just like some other hateful terms. "*******" would have been a better term. Covers any individual and casts no aspersions on an entire group. Classless is...

    what is the highest mph speeding ticket you have had on a motorcycle?

    Philter, I've installed thousands of "loops" as a contractor that built traffic signals. Nasty job. One time I caught the tar trailer on fire in front of the Boeing Developmental Center. Three alarm response. I buried the whole trailer with a big loader that was on site. When, at age 55 I got a...

    what is the highest mph speeding ticket you have had on a motorcycle?

    I was checking the main jets on my Suzuki GT380 after having the cylinders ported. Wide open throttle for a minute, hit the kill switch, pull over to the side of the road and start pulling plugs. I was on SR520, a main commuter route right off the East end of the 520 floating bridge, about 4pm...

    Engine Idle Speed

    Had this problem with my Gen1. Ross Kean has it right. After I did the TBS I couldn't get the idle speed down. Had to reset the reference point to get the adjuster back within range.

    Servicing LED lights

    As an electrician that recently retired from a municipal traffic signal maintenance shop I can say unequivocally that not only do LED's fail, they also dim with age. All our displays were LED and luminaires were in process of being replaced when I left. While their lifespan is much longer than...

    Are we witnessing the end of motorcycling?

    Texting drivers has cut down my riding time. Ok, getting older and more pussified when it comes to weather is a factor, too. Going to sell the KTM 950 Adventure 'cuz I can't pick it up when, not if, it tips over off road. More pussification, or maybe mummification. If a self driving Uber can...

    Who for Suspension?

    I purchased the AK20's, springs, seals and bushings from Traxxion along with the Penske shock and spring for my Gen 1. Did the work myself. Not too hard if you're inclined. Worked closely with Lee Spitler at Traxxion. Don't know if he's still there, this was in 2012. The transformation was...

Bought a KTM 950, pulled it all apart, farkled it up in anticipation of off road adventure, then the big C reared its ugly head Only got to ride it a few times this Summer. I...
