    Compare: Dragon Tail / Devil's Highway

    Thanks for your input. Good stuff. I did a little research about the two routes, at the Roadrunner in New River, AZ. I hear that those who ride the Devil's Hiway return with a mark of somekind on their bodies. They say the mark is "imprinted" by the road itself. Spooky. They tell me that...

    Coronado Trail Ride

    I have heard that those who ride the Devil's Hiway return with a mark of somekind on their bodies. They say the mark is "imprinted" by the road itself. I have also heard that those that take this route often, become more reckless, violent with each pass. Is this true?

    Compare: Dragon Tail / Devil's Highway

    If you have taken on both the Dragon's Tail (NC, TN) and the Devil's Highway (AZ), please tell us what your thoughts are on both. I'm especially interested in comparison of technical aspects between the two: subjective physical endurance level expended, max speed posted, lowest speed posted...

    Harley Davidson RR

    I remember riding behind a small group of riders one day, on twins, heading up to Jerome AZ from Prescott. Taking a left off of Pioneer Parkway onto 89A, they seemed to be getting it on off the light. I said, "seemed to be" because, although they were truly making alot of noise, "thundering" I...

    Harley Davidson RR

    Nonsense! HD has really cool clothing and accessory boutiques. You can get really cool leather stuff and sunglasses there. There's one in Prescott, AZ. A little pricy though.

    FUEL Geyser! HELP!

    I've got an '05. I live in Phoenix. Very hot combo. Experienced the tank geyser. I wonder what the all time height record is. I think mine was close. Anyway, performed the recommended cap, tube, vent maintenance referenced in this thread. No more gas cap chuffing, huffing, puffing...

    Allstates Repulsive Ad Campaign

    Okay. This will probably be my last post on this topic. I think I get the gist. Just want to reiterate that my problem with Allstate is simply this ad campaign, not their coverage, rates or customer care. I don't have a problem with watching the cars crash. I also have no problem discussing...

    Allstates Repulsive Ad Campaign

    Well spank my butt and call me Judy! Three? THREE!? Three out of twenty agree with me!? ART!? Reminders? Well...it doesn't look like Allstate will go out of business any time soon. Darn it. Especially with those effective ads (agreed), artfully composed (not sure about that one)...

    Allstates Repulsive Ad Campaign

    I sent this email to Allstate today. *** I wanted to drop you a note to tell you that I feel that your new motorcycle insurance ad campaign is in extremely bad taste. Your ad execs must not ride. If they do, I believe that they have really miscalculated the effect that the scenes of crashing...

    Nipton, a Two Horse Town

    They're Cortech Sportbike bags. Go to the Cortech or TourMaster web site. You should find them there with no problem. I am pleased with their quality. I've used the saddle bags for two years, daily from about Oct - Mar, with no appreciable wear and tear.
