    ALTrider luggage rack

    I wasn't happy with the stocker given the fact that I tend to overload top cases. I decided to try an ALTrider rack due to my high opinion of their quality and design excellence. An upcoming 2500 mile camping/touring trip provided the impetus to upgrade now, as opposed to later. I'm very...

    Exceptional bike in the rain

    One of the big reasons I bought this bike was the idea that it would perform very well in wet and rainy conditions. Florida is notorious for heavy downpours that seem to spring up out of nowhere. Since I've had this bike, I've been caught in some pretty heavy downpours and have done a good...

    Ethanol free fuel

    My youngest brother sent me this link. It' a locator guide to stations that serve up ethanol free fuel in the US and Canada. I found a station just a few miles from where I live that sells 91 Octane "no ethanol", for 30 cents more a gallon than the blended stuff. It's a fancy car wash joint...

    Heat from left side of bike

    Any of you guys noticing a lot of heat coming off the left side of the bike? The radiator is located there, so it make sense you'd feel more heat on the left side than the right. Quite noticeable at stop lights.

    Cutting tools

    This year I'm going to take along a small ax and a knife to handle camp chores. I've been using a large knife (6" blade), as a "do it all" tool, but it doesn't really do anything "well". It does get the job done, however, and would be the best choice if one were limited to a single tool. I...

    Go Packers!!!

    I grew up watching the Pack when Vince Lombardi was their head coach. Publicly owned and the smallest franchise city in the NFL. I love this team. Win or lose today, I'll always be a Packer fan!

    Scam!

    WARNING: SCAM TARGETING MIDDLE AGED MEN 

Women often receive warnings about protecting themselves at the mall and in dark parking lots, etc. This is the first warning I have seen for men. I wanted to pass it on in case you haven't heard about it.

 A 'heads up' for those men who may be...

    Stock fitment tires

    Does anyone know what tires come from the factory for the S10? I've been running the Bridgestone Battlewings on my Strom and really like them. Last time I bought tires, I bought two Battlewing rears (got a deal, so bought two). Have a brand new one sitting in the garage and would consider...

    Newbie in FL

    Hi to all! Just made the decision to upgrade my much loved DL 1000 to the S10. I'll be riding the Strom til I get the S10, but might as well start learning about the bike and all the stuff I'm going to buy to make it "my", bike. :)
