I have a little experience with riding plugged tired long distances, but I'm going to withhold my opinion save this - if you are financially...
I had a similar experience recently. Went on a 2k mile road trip, got home, cleaned and lubed the chain, checked the tension annnnnnd...perfect....
Do what SkiMad says. While err'ing on the side of caution might seem wise, batteries are expensive. If it holds a good charge for 2 hours, the...
Instead of starting a new thread, I thought I might piggyback a question I need to ask since it's closely related to this one: if you are only...
Derf? Chico, CA (my hometown) is 70 miles north of Sacramento. On the slab, its about 670 miles I think from Chico to Seattle. via 101, I have no...
I dunno what an ironbutt is, since the only people that care about it ride cruisers with backrests, floorboards, and highway bars, and anyone that...
Actually braking uphill in wet conditions is a weird situation in which the rear wheel locks easily, don't ask me why. But it's cool, go ahead and...

Heyo Oregonians, I recently moved to Eugene and was wondering if anyone can recommend a shop in the area. I've poked around a bit and it seems the...
har har. They're amazing. Great epic country to ride through (65 MPH highway at 9000 feet!) and awesome fly fishing...
Err...I guess that went right over your head. Those were tears of sorrow and loss, not happiness.
Hehe, you bet I did. Brought a tear to my eye coasting down those twisties at 30 MPH!
To the original poster: I, too, hate stopping for gas. I tend to run long days at times (700+ miles when the bug really bites), and at the end of...
For what it's worth I've been using a chain brush made for modern chains for years and my chain is in good shape. '09 6th gen. I would say avoid...
Just came across this thread. Seems like it's comin' together nicely, especially with that untouched fairing. I look forward to seeing the...
Tinkerin I just gotta say, your post about that seat should go down in history as one of the funniest and most informative posts in vfrworld...
