    Appomattox HU meet mics

    Did you meet the guy riding Lucy? I met him last year just south of Galveston. He and his bike are very interesting. When I saw it, it was loaded down in a big way. The owner is well over 6 feet and I'm not sure how he had room to sit. That guy makes the Iron Butt rides look like they are...

    Go West Old Men

    I am certainly not making medical recommendations, but to tell you of my wife's experience. She had shoulder surgery about 2 years ago. Due to shaving off bone, they explained she had a year of recovery +/-. After a week of PT she decided not to go anymore. Each time a different therapist...

    full face vs modular vs adventure helmets

    I have a Scorpion EXO GT3000. It''s pretty light weight for a modular and very comfortable. I too wear glasses and the arms behind my ears are fairly long. That makes it very difficult to put on a full face. It's vented well with internal sun shield.

    Farkle pricing

    I have a good friend that was a factory rep and represented several different lines. He now owns his own store in NW AR. He said about 90% of the company's have a contract he has to sign and limits him from publishing anything other than MSRP. The exception is discontinued items, and special...

    African Twin

    I do like tube tires for off road as I run 12 and 14 pounds in them. I expect for most, the AT won't see a lot of hard off road. Most, not all, will be on pavement and fire roads or assorted dirt roads. That being the case not much use in lowering the air pressure much if any. Like has been...

    African Twin

    I'm curious of how everyone feels about the tube tires. All my dirt bikes have tube type, but I haven't owned a street bike with tubes in years. I've rode many dirt bikes out of the woods, with a flat, and back to the trailer. I've plugged many of the tubeless tires long enough to get me in...

    The Africa Twin is Back: CRF1000L Africa Twin Confirmed for 2015

    Some of the things he did would be difficult for most of us on a small bike. The hill seemed quiet steep and loose gravel, most would be all over the place as he was. I rode a friends DR650 on similar terrain, that's something I have no interest in doing again. Too heavy and hard to control...

    Working the gears in turns at intersections - NCX vs other manual bikes

    I've not noticed this being a problem, but I have rode many years with no breaks. I don't feel it's a safety issue shifting up in a turn, but down shifting in a turn could be a real issue, depending on experience.

    Corbin Seats?

    One piece suit or jacket and pants?

    "I want to be seen as both a motorcycle rider and a regular human being when in a store, gas station, or restaurant. It's easy for riders to be stereotyped and I want regular folks to see I'm a regular guy." by dduelin I went to a hare scramble last weekend. We stopped to get gas and a man...

    Heresy

    The 250's for the most part are only a 5 speed and most will get handlebar buzz at about 55-60 mph. I have several I use in class and the Yamaha Star and the Honda Rebel are the most bullet proof. My son had a V Star 250 (yamaha) and we changed the rear sprocket to give more speed. We picked...

    Heresy

    Honda Shadow is good and seat is puffy, if you need to trim it down there is room. I HIGHLY recommend against the Honda VLX 600, they are only 4 speed and get a pretty bad buzz about 60mph. Check out the Kawasaki Vulcan 500. They don't make them anymore due to ability to pass Calif emissions...

    My pistol is beside my bed at night and on my side during the day. It is never out of reach. I live in the country and very safe. The keys are in my bikes and the cars. I don't have a key to my home. Very safe area, and good neighbors. But if I leave, I don't have to go get it. Mine stays...
