    Head replacement. Engine in or out?

    I bought some used BMW/5 heads off of ebay. Seller packed them like crap. Dented the hemi combustion chamber. Took my dremel tool, and then smoothed the head with a sanding wheel, then filled the "holes" with JB weld (really cleaned it up). Reassembled, then ran it for a month. Pulled a head...

    Harley Pan Am taking it on the chin

    It happens with all brands. I bought a new TM Racing EN300ES (300cc two-stroke with fuel injection) and the exhaust power valve had a bug in the ECU firmware. This has been a problem now for 5 years! I have experience here, and offered to fix the ECU firmware - for free, i'd sign an NDA...

    Test/Review sexy underwear

    I have 8 pairs of LD shorts and LD long tights. Dirt bike, street, bike, they're the bomb. On the street bike, that's all i wear. I'll wear EVS dirt bike shorts in addition to the LD comfort, but LD earns my $$$ every time.

    New member from Iowa

    Indianola? Is the F-troop still active? I had heard about F-troop while at Iowa State in the late 1970s. Dated a girl from Indianola off and on. One of my favorites (girlfriends, that is). Welcome!

    Coolant Recommendations

    Suzuki long-life coolant. It's still blue, but Suzuki claims 5-year change interval. No visual issues - corrosion doesn't seem to be a problem.

    The wave.

    I do the "Highwayve" - i wave in big motions with my hand moving over my head. Go big or go home. (I do this riding my bicycle and motorcycles). It's funny - most people are sort of shocked, then they'll raise their hands, too. Mostly with a smile on their face. Pillion riders always...

    You're selling your bike, you're moving on, what NEXT ?

    The way i live and what i teach my students is that you never take a loan on something that depreciates. You're paying TWICE - depreciation + interest. No one ever considers depreciation as a hard cost. The one exception i tell them is that if they NEED a car (in the US, need happens), then...
