    2024 Romney Camp-N-Ride is ON for May 3-5

    Add a Tiger to the get together. Going to be there a couple of days early, and will be just up the road with my toy hauler.

    Honda Gold Wing - the return of shaft drive

    Can't talk about the GW, but I use to commute on a Harley Ultra Classic in L.A. traffic, also splitting it. They are actually not that bad once you understand the bulk. Understand that you need to be a little more aggressive on the throttle to get the bulk moving for a quick lane change.

    And it gets worse with a proper bash plate

    tired of chit-chat?- post / view a picture only here.

    There is an app called Tuneecu that works only on an android phone. Using any Bluetooth OBDII reader, you can reset the wrench, service mileage, fuel map, and bunch of other stuff. Forget how much it cost as I have had it for a bit of time.

    R1300GS...the what how why

    Apparently didn't write it the way I wanted. Was implying sad for the BMW. I like the idea of more lights to the rear. Sent from my Pixel 8 using Tapatalk

    R1300GS...the what how why

    Kinda sad, the Tiger has the traditional brake light, and the turn signals also are used as additional brake lights.

    Weapons - What you have (NOT a political discussion)

    Memories, when I joined, I was issued a S&W model 15 4". Never went out into the field with it, we were allowed to carry other models that they approved, and manditory department issued rounds. I bought and carried a S&W model 686 4" in a low swivel holster. For several years we had the small...

    The next chapter...KTM Super Adventure S

    One thought, obviously not a vapor lock issue, but a fuel line near the engine, enough that the line is getting too hot and causing issues? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    If you *had* to ride a different bike, what would you pick?

    I really like the sport touring bikes, and have owned the Honda ST1300 and BMW 1200RT. I would probably look at the FJR as the next one if I stepped away from the adventure bike. Currently waiting for the specs on the new Guzzi V100 as it could be my next bike.

    2013 Tenere purchase

    Or throw a bunch of bolt and nuts in a metal tool box and shake it around. You may not be able to tell the S10 from the tool box.

    The anything thread.

    Great explanation, other than to add, he did not have any ground effect, you can see him trying to turn (and losing control) just prior to the ridge line. What Bob said about lack of, or not using enough aft stick, with his higher approach speed, he had to use a lot of power to stop and land, so...

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

    Same thing I was talking about. The "cash back" is, or can be, the discount because you financed through them. One of those enticements in advertising, read the fine print, and it can say cash back when you finance through them. If you get a loan with no penalties, in order to get the cheaper...

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

    I would be interested if they are still doing this for motorcycles. I bought a new truck several months ago, and I usually do the loan thing for the price reduction, pay it off several months later, not costing me anything different than paying cash, except the couple of thousand off the deal...

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

    I had a 2005 HD that would go into parade mode. Interesting the first time, but as soon as you rolled on any throttle, it would go back to normal.

    Triumph Tiger 1200 Gen4 (2022 - )

    Congrats on the new bike also. Been hearing a lot of great things about it. I am amazed that the fuel tank on it is the same size as my 900. As far as the display, if you watch very closely, you will see the odometer when you turn the key for one second, otherwise, like you said, the service...

    I feel the need . . . . the need, for speed.

    A number of years ago when I was still working (flying LE helicopters), meet a person at Santa Monica airport who said he had an interesting motorcycle in his hangar that my partner and I might like to see. Went over to the hangar, and he had the jet bike, same as Jay Leno, but his was painted...

    '12 S10 PDP vs '23 KTM 890 - Deja Vu all over again

    The windscreen on my bike has the hole in the middle, and every time I ride through a 'holler, I get at least several dogs that chases me. Sounds like KTM is putting more fun into the ride.

    Tracer 9 GT+

    That looks like it was cut with a saw blade of some kind.
