    Longest road trip?

    In my opinion, having the wedding canceled is even a bette reason to make the road trip. Definitely must see between Wisconsin and San Diego. Montana/Wyoming Beartooth/Chief Joseph Highway, Yellowstone/Grand Teton, Spiral Highway in Lewiston Id, Rattlesnake Grade Wash/Oregon border. Columbia...

    MSF Range Bikes

    Under the MSF guidelines, for bikes to be used in the Basic Rider Course, they must fall within a certain criteria. Not to exceed 30" seat height and has to be less than 300cc. Cost becomes a factor at some point. Certain models fair better than others during drops or crashes. The new Honda...

    MSF Range Bikes

    We are getting BMW's. They stop making the Suzuki TU250's and the new Honda Rebel 300's were never a big hit amongst many of our coaches. But I like the new Rebels, so easy to scrape the pegs.

    It’s gone, I sold my FZ6!

    Bike is gone, but you know I'll stick around. I mentioned to the new owner about the forum. Wonder if he has joined and posted up. He also knows Monica A as we have all gone riding in the past with one another. If I would have known it was a contest on how long we could keep our FZ6, I would...

    It’s gone, I sold my FZ6!

    Had the bike for about 13;years. With over 106k miles, I made enough memories to last me a lifetime. I just didn’t ride it enough plus the bike needed repairs so I sold it for $700. With a naked conversion kit and some work, the bike could look almost brand new in my opinion. The engine was...

    Help me troubleshoot

    It is intermittent. I tried to replicate it while bike was on and off CS. Also checked for brake lines or any cables that wound prevent the forks from turning. Steering head bearing was replaced 100,000 miles ago with tapered aftermarket. It's not loose, it doesn't rattle. I've seen so many...

    Help me troubleshoot

    So my FZ has had leaking fork seals for over a year. I don't ride it much so I don't want to put in any money on a bike that isn't even worth $1,000. But today, I was riding and my steering locked up. I could not press or turn the handlebars to the right. Could it be from no fork oil on one...

    Riding under windy conditions

    Depends on the conditions and where you’re riding. I ride a bike which is kind of top heavy and Im tippy toe at best when stopped so whenever it’s windy I must lean the bike over favoring the bike to one side so it won’t tip over. I always must be aware which way the wind is blowing so I...

    Rear rotor rubbing on calliper bracket

    Ironically my rear caliper pin broke off on my Multi, currently I’m without a rear brake. Parts finally arriving on Friday, shop will put in new pin and pads, I think my disc was saved. Ducati discs are very expensive.

    It kills me to admit this, but...

    As the other planes ahead and behind must go around. That is skill, plane and simple. I remembered when I worked at the airport at LAS, on a real windy day, I would stand out on the ramp and watch the planes attempt to land. Some stick it and some go around. As part of aircraft...

    Help me ID and replace a frame slider

    Picture quality is poor, but it might be called Uncaged. I have a set on my bike, they work well. Unfortunately they aren't around anymore and if you really needed to get a set of new caps, you would have to find a machine shop and get them made.

    I'm famous! Quick Throttle Magazine

    Autograph! LOL.....I do have riders come up to me at times during bike night and mentioned that they saw me compete during the slow bike race. I admit I'm good but not great, definitely beatable.

    I'm famous! Quick Throttle Magazine

    Okay, not really but LOL. I've never even heard of the magazine until the interview. Turns out, they have tons of pictures of me over the past few years for the Street Vibrations Events under their gallery. I always saw the photographers, but I could never figure out where the pictures were or...
