Why, pshaw, shucks, t'warn't nothin'. :Peace: But thanks anyway, always happy to help...if I can. :) Of course some of the stuff I'm saying is...
Wow, those transverse engines can be a pain. I remember we had to change the alternator on an old Gold Wing one time. You have to drop the motor...
It will stay put just fine on the stand with the rear wheel removed. Unless your torque wrench specifically says it's okay, don't use it to...
Your neighbors and all the rest of us will thank you. :)
You can totally ignore this post if you want since it is my take on a GPS for the bike. No harm, no foul. :Focus: I use a Garmin Nuvi 760 on my...
Piece o'cake. Here's my route, as best I can remember, from 2 weeks, scratch that closer to 3 weeks now that I think about it, in the summer of...

Congrats. Pictures!! We need to see what that puppy looks like.
I wouldn't be surprised, but maybe he did a lot of commuting with little to no in town stop-an-go. But I think I would figure it into the budget,...
$800 sounds like a pretty good deal.

But most of the time, all the noise is out the back. Very few people in front of you will even be aware of it, and those are the ones to be...
A lot depends on the price and how it's been stored. The engine should be good for a long time if it has been maintained like it should. The...
If I bought a new bike I'd run synthetic from the first oil change. Of course the last new bike I bought was 32 years ago. Synthetics were still...
I'm leaning toward getting one of these. I currently have the Nolan N104 and have been very happy with it for quite a few years. I can't remember...
