Hey all, just picked up my Olympia Avenger 1 piece mesh suit from Revzilla. It costs about $350. It is a partial mesh suit with elbow, shoulder, back, and knee pads. Zips up both legs and one for the front of course. I bought the high viz model, and let me tell you, it is very high viz. The suit...

I have been using the Hippo Hands fork gators for about 6 months now. They are great. If you are going off road a lot, then traditional gators would be better. Something caused a nick in my left fork tube last year and the whole tube had to be replaced. I did not feel like dealing with this...

Put the wrong link a couple posts ago. I really really want this one. However, I'm worried eight gallons of gas up top and high seat height might be a little much for a short legged 5'7" guy. http://www.motoguzzi-us.com/public/upload/images/resized/700x477/stelvio_ntx_orange_.jpg

Thanks guys for the input. I don't recall seeing maintenance for a fuel filter in the book. I'm sure there is one, but not sure if it is easily serviceable. Probably in the tank attached to the pump like some new cars?

I didn't even consider water in the fuel. That is definitely a possibility and would explain why the stutter is nothing I can reproduce. At first I was thinking that something was up with the emissions crap, or maybe the valves. If it was either of the two, I'd expect to have a lot more...

Sorry, forgot to mention. I was under 5600 PRM's indicated both times give or take 100.

Hey all, I tried doing a search and came up with nothing. I have a 50 mile (each way) commute and noticed something odd. About a month ago I was at the end of my commute in the early morning and the engine sputtered a few times. It was about 50 F outside and the engine was definitely warmed up...

I like it. It is a good alternative to the GoPro. If you can really find it for 150, then its also half the price. Thanks for the link!

That is one of the coolest set-ups I have seen on such a small bike! Awesome!

Lead power plant operator. Currently at a 4 by one. 4 LM6000's (gas turbines) and 1 MHI steamer (steam turbine). Previously at 2 biomass's, 1 pet coke, and 4 peaker plants.

I'll be sure to post some in the near future. Using some vacation time at the moment.

Thanks for the help guys. I will try running the bike at 4k on the center stand. Either way, sounds like it has always been there. I'll stop being so sensitive!!! I get why Honda engineered some vibration in, but I could have done without. For me, the smoother the better.

Just realizes I spelt deer wrong. If I see dear, that's okay with me! Oh well!

I know this doesn't count as touring, but it seemed like the most appropriate place to post this. I was just thinking today about how lucky I am. I don't think I could ask for a better commute then I currently have. I could ask for a shorter one, but only if I am being picky. I get city riding...
