    Trooper modification

    Hmmmm.... I did have a car with chrome covers and mag wheels , but no scoop. And it was fast. Maybe I should cut the pipes back out!!

    Trooper modification

    I did the mod on mine a while back. Sounded like a harley popping on decel, unfortunately. I did remove the air injection and installed the blockoff plates prior to the mod. I was lucky enough to have some pipe laying around with the just the right inside diameter, and cut two 6 inch pieces...

    Bridgestone BT 023 GT Update

    Yes. Money is tight and found them on sale when the money was around. 212 shipped for a set. The gt set would have been almost another 100. The previous model tires I've used all had "gt" versions as well, but I have been using the the "regular" version with no issues so far. I am only...

    Bridgestone BT 023 GT Update

    I just put on a set of 023's. (Non GT) So I will try to keep up on how they do for me. So far with one day long ride I have no complaints. I was leading a noob out for her first long day on her new bike, so it was not too aggressive for a good test. This will be my fifth set of tires. So for...

    So...all you who take pics while riding....

    Tank bag. I keep a tripod ball screwed into the bottom of the camera for a good positive grip. The power and shutter buttons are easily reached with my pointer finger.   without an attachment you can get interesting shots, but do risk losing a camera. 3 years without a loss so far.

    Pirelli Angel evaluation

    I just wore my rear Angel out at 8200miles last weekend. Best handling tire I have had yet (for me). Wish it could have lasted longer. I put a used PR2 (12k on that one)on the back for now. I'm sure I don't run like ASHE, but I'm not easy by any means. The group I ride with most of the time...
