The Duc's looking good. Looks a bit icy at the lake but not bad for February.

I am totally unimpressed by Cycle Gear. I've checked it out in Sacramento when passing by and they never have anything I want. Quality is very questionable. I was trying on leathers and the zipper on the jacket split open from the middle of the zipper when I tried to sit on a bike. Not very...

My FZ6 & Sprint came with frame sliders. Used them twice on my Sprint. Slow speed sideways slopes seem to get me. Slight scratch on lower faring and cover on my saddlebag was scratched/chipped (hit the curb I was trying to ride along). Cover was easily replaced. I bought frame sliders from...

My Sena has a sticker microphone instead of the boom like the Scala Riders. I did agree with everyone that the jog dial is very easy to use. I too wear ear plugs while riding and turn up the volume which means I have to turn it down when coming to a stop & talking with someone who isn't on my...

We're suppose to hit 60F as our high today. heatwave!! Donner Pass will be open and clear. I'm working on the hubby to trailer the bikes over the hill to a warmer & sand free area. Might see about taking up Red Wazp's offer of parking at his house.

Wow Girl, That sucks! I hope it melts soon for you.

The Hubby & I have Sena units (I can't remember what model. been too long since I've used it - see my Winter Rant lol). We had the Scala Rider brand before, but they failed after about 2-3 years. We got the Sena's at the end of the season last year. I like the easy of use. Spin the dial to...

No snowmobiles for us. I threw the hubby off the back of one in a corner years back. He hasn't gotten on to the back of a bike I've been riding yet either. I wonder if that's why. lol

Monica, pick up a used enclosed trailer and haul you bikes 90 miles over the hill. You can park it at my place anytime, I rode 200 miles yesterday and 300 last Sunday. You are so close but so far away on two wheels in the winter. We have an enclosed trailer, but we don't like to haul it...

We had a total of 10 inches of snow at my house by Sunday night. No snowblower here. Shoveled for over an hour. UGH!!! Did I mention the 1.2 inches of rain Friday night? All the wet made for really icy roads. Fun to go sliding around in my AWD Volvo station wagon. heehee

Yeah, well, you suck! just kidding. It's all dry and beautiful until a hurricane comes through. No thanks. I'll take my snow and earthquakes, thank you very much.

HeeHee, yeah I'll take it easy on him. 25+ years of marriage, I should know what to expect. lol Hopefully, he will wait until I'm home next time. I'm tempted to go out & fire up my bike by myself....

Luckily, they don't use too much salt on our roads. Mostly sand now. But UGH!!! I'm dreading driving to work in my all-wheel drive vehicle today, I don't know how you do it on a bike. Ride safe my friend.

OK - I woke up to 6 inches of snow. When I went to sleep, there wasn't a single fleck of snow on the ground. IIt hasn't stopped snowing all day. I'm done with this winter already!:spank: I want to ride and I want to ride now. NDOT had just finished cleaning up all the sand from the last...

I'm very familiar with ABS in the car. I live where we get ice & sand on the roads frequently in the winter. I wasn't sure if the bike ABS worked the same way or not. I've tried to get the ABS to work on my Sprint but I haven't able to. Straight line, a dead end country road with no one...

:welcome: Denis, I had a blue 07. I loved it. You've gotten some good advice so far. I have a great book to recommend to help with cornering techniques & general riding advice (forgive me, I am teacher). My Hubby, son & I reread it every off season (winter for us sucks). It is called...

Thanks for the info. I rarely use my rear brake. Both my bikes now have ABS. I wonder if what you described still applies? I usually only use the rear brake when I am stopping at stoplight (in a straight line) or for a quick stop due to a left-turner & need a little extra braking power.

This guy suffers from H-D syndrome. Gotta customize the bike to make it my own.

I teach 2nd grade. I decided on a new spin to the "what did you do over Christmas vacation" writing assignment. I asked them to write about something they didn't get to do over break. I asked them what they thought I wanted to do over break and didn't get to do. They all said "ride your...

Re: February 2016 BOTM - uploads enabled OK - I'm in. Happy New Year everyone! Can't ride right now because it is 1 degree out (that's in F not C). Brrr.... :eyebrow: Dreaming of Spring...
