A few people have been scammed on the site, Only use paypal to pay for items for sale by other members. If they will not use paypal, its likely a scam NEVER SEND E-TRANSFERS OF ANY KIND.
I am not mechanical. When the pads get thin I usually pay someone to do it. In this case the material on one pad was completely gone and it was scoring the brake disc, so I did not want to ride it to the shop.
I removed the old pads easily, put the new ones in there, and hit a wall. I...
I rode Monday and everything seemed fine. When I was rolling it out today I heard a rasping or rubbing sound from the rear tire. So I rode the Goldwing instead.
This afternoon I looked at it. I am no mechanic, but it appears to me the disc rotor might be binding at the top. There is some...
I have three motorcycles.

2018 Goldwing Tour
i just finished a 4,000 mile ride to Key West and back. I enjoyed it but my time for long distance touring may be done. I am 67.
It occurred to me I might sell all three and buy an Africa Twin or the new NT 1100 if...
And have been for some time. I need a new one for the Shoei Neotec 2 but even Shoei North America is out of stock.
I guess they are sitting in cargo ships off the west coast.
Even the light smoke is out of stock.
I decided to try the silver Spectra one.
I am on a trip, 420 miles yesterday and 350 today (on my Wing.)
The new helmet is comfortable and flows air about the same.
One big positive: The optical quality of the shield is far superior to the first Neotec.
One big negative: It uses a ratchet system on the strap. If I cinch it...
I bought a new Goldwing Friday. I plan to keep the NC700, as it is perfect for exploring back roads and trips to the store.
After riding the Goldwing I still think the NC is an amazing bike for the price.
Reliable, plenty of reasonable power, and I think it is a good looking bike.
I am...
I have only been riding as an adult for three years. (Typical moderate dirt bike use as youth.)
But I already have several jackets.
1. Olympia mesh. Plain but functional, lots of good design touches.
2. Hitair airbag mesh, silver. Works ok, no airbag system is ever going to be as...
The 4 has been discontinued in our size, 160/60, 17. I like the pilot, which is so much stickier than the stock ones and better in the rain.
I decided to order a pilot road 5. It is ten dollars more and seems to have wider and shorter grooves, with better rain management in the center and...
I was on a four lane divided highway today. Not much traffic.
A beat up car was passing me. I looked over and could see the driver was distracted, though I am not sure what the distraction was.
At any rate he started to move over into my lane while next to me, no signal.
I do not know...
New year, new thread.
Can Roczen recover?
I feel like this might be Musquin’s year, but he is not riding great tonight.
I like the rules changes, especially dumping the semifinals and having three of the “special” races.
Each job took about an hour or two. I am a slow worker.
I posted these in the “what did you do....” thread but it occurred to me some might just look here.
I am not very smart about electricity.
As I understand it, the NC has about 25 amps of excess power. I am not sure if this is at a certain rpm.
Currently I have Denali D 2 lights, 1.5 amps per pair, and OEM heated grips, 3 amps.
Hot wired Gear is lower powered than some of the Gerbing...
My NC actually is plenty of bike for me, but the purpose of riding is pleasure, so rationality is not that important.
Bikes I like:
Indian Springfield. So comfortable and powerful! Handles very well for such a heavy bike.
HD Heritage Classic. Upgraded in every way. Looks great...
