    Selling bike due to becoming a Parent?????

    LOL!!! Nice list! But I have a few disagreements.... regarding the romance and sex. Not all women are alike. My wife had no issues with sex before, during or after birth (and this was twins). As for romance, that is the hubby's choice. You can absolutely plan romance and it starts with a...

    The Workshop - What did you do in Yours Today?

    LOL! I am typically fish-belly white. I'll adjust! Now the ketchup? That is all we used in New England. ;) And Pete is spot-on... lots of Tacos and brisket here. Had brisket last night. We've had it with winters and snow. Time to enjoy the weather all year round. And Austin was...

    Ouch...

    I saw this on FB first but again Pete, I am sorry this happened! So, after all these years, I *finally* get to Texas to ride with you and this happens? I hope the recovery is quicker than most. ;) And if you need anything, please call me! I'm not far away!

    Selling bike due to becoming a Parent?????

    I sold all my toys when my kids were very young. Right after the twins graduated high school, I ran out and bought a new FZ6. It was almost 14 yrs without being up on two but I don't regret it. It's not your riding you need to be concerned about, it's the other drivers. You can be doing...

    The Workshop - What did you do in Yours Today?

    Installed my ToyTec 3" suspension lift, a diff drop and new Light Racing UCAs. Just need to get the alignment done now. Side by side before and after... before being in NH and after being the heart of Texas today!

    question on full exhaust system

    Yes and no is the answer. It is needed if you do not want error codes and the system running the bike like a HD. :D That said, some full exhaust systems come with the O2 sensor bypass plug and if it does not, I'd strongly urge you to get a Power Commander that does have one included. You...

    Pilot Road 4. Ohh yea

    It becomes easier as you practice it more. The key is to keep it well lubed. Lubrication makes all the difference in getting the bead to slip on or off. I have my first set of PR4s which were mounted on the 2009 I crashed, repaired and sold but I kept the tires and put them on the 2013...

    Chain Lube

    I also use kerosene but I put it on a dispensing brush like this one. One fill scrubs the whole chain. Just press the top to squirt some kero as you work along the chain.

    FZ1in...... TX?

    Maybe it was the time or day? We got stuck behind no one at all... clear road all the way through. Looking forward to it Pete! Brad, let us know the day and I'll try and get us there! Morgstang, we would almost have to come down the night before and stay over or leave here pretty darned...

    FZ1in...... TX?

    Sounds great to me! We went out 1431 yesterday to Marble Falls and back. Nice short run for the first ride. What time do you want to meet here? We'll have to go easy on Michele. She's not been riding for a long time and isn't confident on the roads here yet. ;) I think I have her...

    FZ1in...... TX?

    Morgstang, thanks and we will take you up on a ride at some point. Brad, I have a Dr's appointment at noon on Tuesday. Michele's job will not give her that kind of time for lunch. Otherwise, we would love to meet up but I think it will have to be at a more convenient time. We intend to make...

    FZ1in...... TX?

    It is official... I am now a Texas resident. First ride was only 37 miles round trip and 100% illegal. Expired registration, no inspection... That was to get it inspected though. Got the 4Runner and both bikes inspected. Michele will have to go get her bike registered now. The 4Runner gets...

    FZ1in...... TX?

    A few of you on FB know I arrived safely in Texas. Yes, the house sold last Monday and closing went off without issues. I made the trek to TX via MD where I saw my Son and grandson, then TN to see an old friend, on to the panhandle to surprise my little sister (and did I get her good!!!) then...

    Insurance

    How's this for dredging up an old thread! So, now that I am in Texas and need to get insurance for the autos and bikes, I got some sticker shock on quotes. I got about the same quote from Geico. Progressive was not much better. So, I searched and found this message Brad. After speaking...
