1. Assume you're invisible. To a lot of drivers, you are. Never make a move based on the assumption that another driver sees you, even if you've made eye contact. Bikes don't register to the four-wheel mind. 2. Be considerate. The consequences of strafing the jerk du jour or cutting him off,...

Learned dangerous lesson. NEVER use tire shine on motorcycle tires! I'm new rider and did not even think twice of what it could do. Until i wad going into a curve and my bike was sliding from under me. Lucky for me the curve was not too bad under normal conditions I usually take it at 50mph....
I thought that my bike would look really cool with the windshield off. So I took it off and boy did it look awesome! Then the next day I took my wife into town which takes 1½ hours. That wind was pushing me so hard at 70mph it felt like I was holding on for dear life. On the way back I slowed to...
Didn't really learn this today.. but finally decided I'd post it anyway. Over a year ago, I posted that I had a Mustang Seat for sale that would fit a 1600 Classic. Fast Forward, I 'sold' it to a guy who alleged he was John Landers from North Carolina. He told me his sob story about not having...
Ok, so on 6/06/13- 6/9/13 I took the MSF Course from Harley Davidson here in New Orleans and they told us that at the end of the course we would be able to go to certain DMV offices and they would accept our Comlpetion Cards and we would only have to take the written part of the test...😳nottt! I go...
was that at times I can be a complete dumb a**. I decided that my bike needed two new tires about two weeks ago. That was no problem, just shop around to find a good tire at the best pricing--done and ordered the tires. I take the wheels off the bike to get ready for the new skins and notice that...
So I recently bought an '88 EL250. It's been sitting for quite a while and I have been going through everything. Tonight, I went to change the oil to find that there was no oil filter. What's more, when I tried to install the new one, I realized why there was not one to begin with... Something...
All last week there were these 3 motorcycle cops parked at a school on my way to work. They all had their radars out. I was not speeding and I would wave to them and they would wave back. Fast forward to today: I am going down a different street about 15mph over the speed limit, then I saw the 3...
Wish USA ran commercials like this
Did I miss something about BK? I'm wanting a quote from the for some parts but cannot find a way to post the request. Also-trying to get to their site via the internet doesn't work any more. I keep get a reply sending me to this forum.
My vision has come true. I have made my Vulcan 1500 into a dualie. I have V&H long shots on it. I removed the top pipe and put it on the left side. I bought a crossover rear header from VH for the nomad with heat shields and it fit perfect. I had to fabricate a left side support bracket for the...
From time to time and for various reasons, I have run the flag up to see what interest and what price there might be for my 1982 KZ1000CSR which I restored. Along the way I had helpful advice and harsh sarcastic witicism and everything in between. Since I enjoyed a very lucrative and successful...
This happened a while back but it is a lesson well learned. You're proud of your bike, you love your bike. You want everyone to love your bike. So you cruise to your friend's house and talk non-stop about how great it is until your tongue falls out of your mouth. In your euphoria, you tell...
I'm here to make your head hurt and eyes bleed . Think ! most of this is in the FSM . the rest is in the hands of respected professionals and keyboard warriors like me so I really don't mind taking the time . Develop un-common sense . Learn to apply basic principals and acquired skills . And like...
error... dont buy before viewing :( am a major plocker and my hubby is desparing.
Although I don't ride with the same reckless abandon as when I was 19, I still like to lean a bit and ride twisty roads..but I'll never be a knee dragger and go way over like at a trackday or your more aggressive street riders do. Most of my bikes are old 2-strokes, Yamaha RD350 and RD400...

It isn't about what I want Not even about what I need It just is what it is Unless I become the change I want to see in my life ~Dennis
Coming home the other day, I was treated to a rarity on the streets near my house. No traffic from either direction within 1 block. Normally around this time (5:30 pm) I have to wait a while for a clear shot to turn left onto the street leading to my house. Good times, right? This is the perfect...
My sixth sense kicked in at a light yesterday. AT the light I noticed in opposite lane a young lady in her SUV talking on her phone. The light changed to green, and the little voice said "watch her!". Sure enough, even though my light is on, I'm wearing a bright yellow sweatshirt, and I'm on a blue...
