I use these:
Break/turn lights
I have used these ones on 5 bikes (last three years) and not had a failure yet. I wire the red into the brake for extra notice that I am stopping, but it can be wired to the tail light as well. On other bikes I use the white ones as running lights too. I have...
I found a bearing and seal 60 miles away. I got it in yesterday and made it home today. A trip report will be posted soon. I also found that I was not the first person messing with that bearing. After cutting the outer race out (yes it needed cut out), I found gouging behind it. I didn't have...
So I get my tire replaced yesterday and the guy mentioned I had a wheel bearing going out. I asked if I could make it back to OH as I am on a trip and have the tools to do the job myself there, and he says it should hold. Well it gave out. I have a clunking in my rear so bad, I thought it was...
Here you go. Note that I have a rubber strip (look close and you can see it) on the inside of the rail. Theses were after a generator was added to the tongue. All in all in is a pretty tongue heavy load. I am adding a good bit of weight to the back as well to even it out.
I get paid...
So I am loading for a move to OH from NC. Time to go recruit new Marines! I will be moving back into a house I already own and love and working in an area that I love too (Canton office). This is all good. Now for the ugly! Imagine a 38yr old mechanic type guy with a family of five and loading...
My daughter and I went through it and decided what was the errors in every accident. It built her awareness before she gets her license later this year. You are right, there is always a risk in riding no matter your experience. However, it is minimized when you can learn from others mistakes...
It has served as that and a reminder of the price of stupidity, ego, and complacency. A little further on the videos show some really nasty cagers wrecking bikes too. But curve negotiating is lacking throughout the length as is a respect for the risk you take on a bike. That is why I use it. It...
Just a video I show my marines who want to ride. It gives them a sense of what can go wrong. It's pretty long and has some odd parts, but full of WTF moments.

Sorry for the delay. I am in school to learn how to recruit new Marines (any takers??).
For the trip back I left later in the day than I wanted, but made great time out of OH and into WV. At Charleston I decided that the Midlands Trail was going to be my route. Before starting down it, I was...

I have this set on Gen 1. I ordered from the same guy for four different bikes now and had no problems with any of them. Just an idea.
Here's my explanation:
Could I get an FZ1 to work for me? - FZ1OA Message Board
I was looking for something I could tour on yet could corner better than my Harley Sportster allowed. When I found my 2002 for under $3,000, I talked the wife into it. Now she rides the Sportster as she won't out...
