    HD makes a "Sport Bike" well almost....

    Don't want a Motor Company bike, really want the lifestyle, can't afford the togs. Ripped the sleeves off my Olympia Dakar high viz jacket, cut the ass out of my Airglide 3 pants, put a skull sticker on my Shoei. Hauled ass down to the local BABD (Bad Ass Biker Dudes) bar on my FJR with the open...

    Advantage? How about 35 or so more horsepower and 15 - 20 + lb/ft torque in a lighter package?

    We don't get to decide....

    As a healthy 62 year old in pretty good shape, I've been planning to do lots of things when I retire at planned age of 65. Ride the Washington backcountry discovery route on my KTM 950. Continued excursions on my beloved FJR. (last summer did Grand Tetons, Yellowstone, Chief Joseph, Beartooth)...

    Coast to coast in 48 1/2 hours

    Just reread your thread, glad it got bumped up. I have recently been diagnosed with a rare form of non Hodgkins lymphoma - Waldenstroms Macroglobulinemia. I'm a week into my first round of chemo. After 6 months of treatment I'm hoping for a remission. Your thread reminded me that I better start...

    2006 engine heat guard question

    Removing the PAIR system and its plumbing will make all things under the "hood" much easier, including installation of heat shielding. This will require the installation of block off plates such as the awesome units sold by Wynn Pro on this site. I don't have experience with the gen2 heat...
