    Happy Birthday Lefty!

    Lefty, yeah, soon you're going to have to update your avatar photo with Oregon Highway Patrol in background. Not sure the best way to go about that. Say, do they allow motorcyclists to fuel their own motorcycle in Oregon? I read/heard that cagers must have fuel fills with a station attendant! HB!

    My first REAL road trip, the real deal!

    Very nice photos, Beerdrinker! Never been to Portugal and photos are next best.

    Exploring my new backyard; The Sierra Mountain Range

    Monica, I remember that set. It was a fun place and I I remember it as a kid, too. That series was tremendously popular, huh? Sunday evenings after Walt Disney World I think it played on NBC.

    Exploring my new backyard; The Sierra Mountain Range

    Kenny, don't forget to hit Virginia City. Say "hi" to Little Joe, Hoss, Adam, or Mr. Cartwright!

    Moving to Reno Nevada!

    Kenny, Reno eh? Wow. Until recently, I used to go up there 3-4 times a year as casinos are always offering me great promos, especially the Sands. As you probably well know, there are a lot of extended stay motels in area. I'll be staying in nearby Tahoe week of Aug 4-8 (intensive Spanish...

    Oregon or Bust ride

    Nice report. Ms. Yogi must have been sleeping while Boo-boo patrolled for a picnic basket.

    Bike vandalism

    Too bad you didn't have an alarm activated. Tilt sets mine off. I knew a high school neighborhood kid who used to do that kind of stuff (vandalism). He would also make fun of physically deformed kids. He went on to become a sworn correctional officer. Funny thing is: this would probably...

    Painted gauge cluster area, rear fender, and rear plastics

    Now, that what I call "blue!" Nice job. I'm surprised you don't have a matching blue helmet.

    Lane splitting in Oregon could be legal soon

    The way I see it, the more congested traffic is, the easier it is to accept motorcyclists splitting it up. I mean, there's an increasing need to help traffic flow. Just as carpool lanes (do they actually help?) and efforts to get more on mass transit. Seems to me that if you're a frustrated job...

    Happy Birthday Verharen!

    Sorry I missed this one. Oh well.

    Anyone using Maxima 74920 Chain Wax v.s Dupoint chainwax?

    Doesn't lubewax interfere with regular re-applications? I mean, with just "normal" chain lube I feel good when I regularly apply it. But, with the wax lubes, doesn't the wax buildup start interfering with new application of lube? I used the lubewax stuff one time and now I feel that I should...

    All the Hoons in Hoonville! Lets Ride the 24th!

    This thread made me sick. You people have WAY too much fun. Can't wait until the next ride I do with hoons. Meanwhile, local commuting mostly FZ6. Don't you love living in CA? Who needs water?

    Warrior HD biker went down this morning on Los Angeles 105 West bound...well, sorry but deserved it!

    Yeah, I can't see splitting/blowing by sit-still traffic at speeds, say, 5-10x faster. Sure, I could do it but that leaves probably no room for defensive techniques. Going so fast probably means that, since cagers---even us---don't even check/monitor rear-view mirrors every nono second you risk...

    Legal/Title Question

    Wow, what a horror story. Geesh, I read/researched to not walk away from an unclear title vehicle but RUN away! But, now I learn that, at least some states) it's still possible to work around it? Geeesh. Anyway, during my recent search for a vehicle, I ran across a few people trying to...

    Had my first low side over Christmas. What to do now?

    Uggh! Yeah, I would get one of those $50 color match sprays. Definitely a new faring stay is in order----that will probably make the biggest difference.
