    Saddlemen gel seat

    I have a saddlemen 2 piece gel seat. Can't even compare it to stock. Build quality is excellent. It may take a few thousand miles to really break it in. I am ordering a 1 piece for my KLR. They have lot's of really good accessories.

    Why you should check your tires EVERY time you ride

    I would go to a Kentucky Tech Day. Or, just come see me in Cumberland City,Tn. and I will show you how easy it is to change your oil. I am located just outside of Clarksville by the TVA steam plant. Who knows, could even go for a ride afterwards.....Hwy. 232? Jack.

    Non-skid rubber pads for gas tank

    Hey Luv, I'm going for the techspec. I live in a rural area 25 miles from town, so it would be cost prohibitive for me to go from store to store looking for materials when I can get online and have something prefabricated delivered to me. In addition, I have several other interests that occupy...

    New seat for the FJR

    Wish I had my FJR with me a few years ago when I toured the south island on a BMW GS. What a beautiful place! I have a picture of the Cathedral in Christchurch before the earthquake which brings back good memories.

    "They should be hunted to extinction"

    unfortunatlely big sky, the night dawn dusk theory is not always applicable, especially here in tn. where we had an unusual late freeze which led to no acorn production in the woods. deer are out all day around where i live in 100 degree plus heat, i guess looking for food. my trigger finger...

    new 07 black cherry

    definately happy with my decision E1, went for a little 50 mile ride this afternoon in about 20 mile an hour wind gusts with cross winds and fealt quite safe as i told my wife. my main concern was keeping her (the bike) at the legal limit. no remorse whatsoever.
