    Radiohowie is BACK after 2 months gone!

    I saw this post in the middle of the nite when I woke up for a bit, but I just couldn't think of the right words. All that comes to mind, and a sure hope it doesn't sound trite are the true words of Nietzsche: "That which does not kill me, makes me stronger". Damn, you sure seem to have come...

    Drop my bike and nothing broke!

    My dumb a$$ drop occurred about a week after I became the proud owner of a "new to me" 2010 feejer. Damn, I was dreaming about that bike all week and rode it a bunch. Went for a night ride on the interstate loop all the way around Fort Worth just for the pure enjoyment a new bike brings...

    2016 Pants Adventures - Advice, Ideas, and Input Encouraged!

    Head for the Rockies and Yellowstone. I made the trip a few years back and still get a rush every time I review the pictures. Follow the Arkansas river where it leaves the mountains near Canon City, CO. I accidently found Independence Pass and camped about a mile from the top of it. Went...

    Engage your brakes

    A few months back I've just stopped at a stop sign for maybe two seconds, just barely enough time to look left and right. Then I hear tires squealin and glance to the right rear. Some dickwad in a big black jacked up pickup had managed to wake up just in time to avoid killing me. This is...

    Nurse Visit

    I'll just bet a lot of the fellows on this forum who are just as mature (old) as I am have visited a urologist at one time or another. This really hurts!

    Er_1 Shift with engine light flashing and tach and speedo dead

    El Toro - You have the patience of Buddha. You are also fortunate to be working with such a great dealer. The status reports are fascinating to follow, along with the side comments and suggestions from other forum members. I had similar symptoms with my 2010 model and assumed it was the often...

    I saw a bad one today,

    I often ride short errands in moderately congested traffic with cagers constantly making every possible move to get down the road a bit faster. No signal lane changes, abrupt lane changes, lots of cell phone use and all the other usual homicidal stuff. The initial post is a very needed...

    Albuquerque has suffered huge losses.

    The world can be a very dangerous and unforgiving place. One must struggle to constantly be on guard yet not become detached from the many good people who do exist. My heart goes out to you. Try not to let it degrade your professionalism nor let it take the joy of this gift of life from your...

    Hey CCook. One of your initial questions related to the need to remove the nose cover to reach the forward two spiders behind each headlight. I just recently went through this drill. (with mucho assistance from previous posts on this subject) (My sincere thanks to all for their excellent...

    What a thread! Any man with so many folks to wish him well and poke a bit of fun at him truly is a dang lucky guy! Best wishes for a speedy physical, mental and financial recovery. Get back at it and go for broke.

    Not the 1st, won't be the last I'm sure....

    I went through the job search purgatory when I was 55 after taking a year off and getting by with a pension from 20 years of employment in the government sector. As I recall it took about six months of daily effort. Looking for a job is a job. I know that's an old cliché but its still valid...

    Put to pasture. ..Ziggy and i must part ways...but it beats dying...

    Hey man! From the tone of your post you are dealing with a ****** hand in a strong upright manner. Lot's of us more mature forum members don't have any right at all to still be on this planet considering the many really stupid or just plain risky choices males tend to make in their lives...

    Not Again

    Attended my first toy run last December. Been riding for about 25 years and finally decided it might be fun. My riding is always solo so I can turn where I want, stop when I want, and camp where I want. Anyway, the Toy Run was a very well organized event with about a thousand bike of all...
