:) I finally got a short ride in on my new Classic. Only about 30 miles due to time constraints but with temps in the low 40's and not taking time to dress warm (would have taken up precious riding time) that was fine. The bike is just what I had hoped. It has adequate power, handles real nice,...

The engine is below the frame so i need to lay maybe some 2x4 blocks on my jack so it...

I just made the last payment on my 05 VN750 that I purchased this past December. Because we are so busy here at Mack Trucks Inc. Power Train Plant, overtime is plentiful so I was able to pay it off in 15 weeks, now I will ease off of the o/time. So now it's mine,,,all mine, what a great feeling...

Hi all: I am most likely going to buy a 2002 1500 Drifter from an estate sale and the battery is dead. What is the procedure for accessing the battery? Thanks!

what size spark plug socket is needed for the 1500? The ones I have don't fit and I don't have a metric plug socket and will need to buy one. Thanks

My gal bought a 2005 Honda Shadow VLX last Saturday. We went to Vancouver and picked it up. It is her very first bike, she has never ridden at all, not even a dirtbike. She was so excited to go pick it up, and start learning. It was great. We spent the weekend practicing in an abandoned lot. She...

Some guys at work and I were having a discussion about sky-rocketing gas prices, which led to a comparison of car vs. motorcycle engine efficiency. I told them my take, but of course more substantial facts would clear things up in their minds. So, anybody happen to have overall figures (or know...

Just joined today and thought I'd introduce myself... Last year I bought a new Vulcan 800B and rode it 11,000 miles in 10 months. Yesterday I traded it in on an almost new 2003 Mean Streak. So far I've put 15 miles on it and love it. It already had cobra drags on it and I would like to add some...
