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...
If only I could, man. I'm afraid it just isn't in the budget. Trust me, I checked. I get 4 days off for Memorial Day and will spend them running on the San Diego beaches (my Physical Fitness Test was not up to my usual either in this air). Won't lie there will be nice scenery there too, but not...
I have never been off a bike for more than 2 days save for a deployment since I got licensed. I even rode on crutches in a brace. I am a happy addict!
Now, I'm in hell! Out in CA for school and no bike. I won't be able to enjoy the riding at all out here, and have 7 weeks before I can return...
