Thanks to all you guys for coming out to the rally - and for celebrating my birthday. Thanks to the folks who brought beer and cigars and thanks for making it out alive. George set up a great route and I felt even more akin to this rally not just because of my birthday - but because of this...

Thanks to Dean for putting the thing together good to see you at the ride in. Didn't know you were a band dad, too. Tell you how bad I am - my oldest daughter (trombone) graduated last year (with an undefeated marching season, by the way) and my youngest who was in guard last year - is NOT in...

Mark - I have a Killi and this thing kills the killi, so to speak. However I'm not as sold on the pants as the air pants that I typically wear with my killi - have the top zipper allowing me to get to my wallet and are easier to get over the boots because they zip all the way up. BUT - I have...

First Gear TPG Impressions Finally have a few miles under my new First Gear Rainier Riding Gear and can post something a little more detailed than first impressions. For the record – I am testing this gear for Mark Kincart and Tucker Rocky – so though I’m not affiliated with them – I am an...

NO FREEKIN' WAY. We all recieved outside routing help from GZ as admitted in your first post ie "top shelf" route. Bill was disqualified for asking for a Coors Lite - mid competition GZ was disqualified on so many counts (staring at and then telling us to "get a load of her" and then pointing...

Yep I believe I scored a Cirrhosis 10 easily by the first 2 hours. It was when I dived in for the second arm band bonus - adding an additional 5 bonii opportunities that I bit off a tad more than intended and ended up time barred at 2 PM. There I was with 1 bonus ticket left reducing my...

Let's see - I think everyone scored something for free. GZ caged some free onion rings - but at my house later that evening he didn't remember standing in line for the second set (which he also scored for free). Gunny - scored a few free glasses of dark liquid - by faking the "i'm standing...

Awesome Dale - How was the arm during this? Great job

only pictures I know of were drawn and in the hands of the Tucker Rocky representative. Take my word for it -- they look good - you'll see them in September, unless I get a set before hand and tease you with some pictures.

Rev It stuff is very nice - and VERY pricey. If I were in the market for a new riding suit (and I'm not because I just one a free jacket/pants/gloves/helmet at a RTE last weekend - ) I would wait for the new First Gear stuff due in September. I have seen the prototype drawings and it looks...

adjust the clutch lever

1.. Dammit - I know I saw a clean part in there somewhere. 2. betcha I can finish this beer before Jorge can find a spark plug 3. Hurry up George - the Pizza will be ready to pick up in 10 minutes 4. You probably wouldn't fall down so often on that dirt road - if your tire wasn't as bald...

if it is on chrome - I've used a razor blade to scrape off. Never scratched a pipe with it. I don't think I would use it on aluminum though or rough pipes.

never heard a noise like that - As for the seat. It will never be mistaken for a Russel or Meyer or even a Corbin. However, it does seem to break in a bit. I only have 16 or 17k on my bike, but after the first couple of thousand it started to feel "adequate". I have added a beaded seat...

As turboDave said - go to the IBA website naked girls dancing on LD Bikes and read the words of wisdom. Can you do it - sure you can. Is it a smart thing? That depends on you. Are your friends up to it? Have they done it before? Do they ride the same speed and skill level as you? Can you...

I had the exact same problem - stalling or cutting out from a stop. Didn't much matter if warm or not. I fixed it with the following: 1. Adjusted idle speed to 1100 rpm 2. Throttle body sync - I will guarantee you that most any shop when looking at throttle bodies syncronization will tell...

prices seems a bit high for a used bike - as for heat -- the FJR is cooler than your ST as for vibration - the GL is definitely smoother than the FJR - the ST is marginally smoother than the FJR. I think there is a little more vibration in the foot pegs and handle bars, but nothing...

going to assume you meant riding through - so last summer while riding to WFO in the central valley it was 118 on my thermometer. got a burn on my leg to prove it (yes - the '06 has managed the heat, but at 118 - there is a LOT of heat to manage. Been through Death Valley in the summer a...

some suggestions 1. what is the idle rpm? adjust as necessary 2. do a throttle body sync - probably not the problem, but probably wont hurt, either 3. someone suggest riding with key in the tank - - good idea to see if there is vacuum issue if dealer can't find it - I would lift the tank...

I recently purchased a set from "the earplug company" - I had molds done at a local audiologist - sent them off and told them red for right ear and green for left and made a point of telling them that the molds were protruding from my ear a bit and that I had a tight helmet. They arrived in a...
