Re: Brakes

A Mity Vac tool is very handy and I've been using them for years ... I use mine fairly often. Depending on the model/version you decide to buy they're pretty cheap and well worth the cost. I flush all the bikes brake and clutch each year as part of my "yearly winter maint" ... cheap insura...

Re: TRIKE WANTED

A bud here in NC is looking for an affordable, entry level trike. Body style not important but price is. Earlier model small block most likely so he can hold cost down. If anyone sees one, I'd appreciate hearing about it. Thanks.... Els E - Did your buddy find a trike yet? I have been keeping an ey...

Re: All N 1 Turbo LED Head Lamp

Well I got to say that I am impressed ... what type of bulbs will you have replacements for [H7, H4 etc]? How will these bulbs work with stock reflector(s)?

Re: Arnott airride for 502 bike

Barry - Being BRAND NEW out of the box I would figure Arnott would cover the shipping expense of the return ... Did you ask?

Funny Shit ...

When I saw this video I couldn't stop laughing ... enjoy! http://youtu.be/6jgjk3DsN7c This past winter I bought a WR450F (100% dirtbike). I got tired of chasing these 250-400cc dirt bikes through the trails in WV with my 1,000 pound GSA. I decided to convert the off road vehicle title to a regular ...

Re: New bike skin concept

I like the idea of the "fairing" on the bike, I'd probably keep it as tight as possible for the aerodynamics. PS I think the air scoope you have incorporated into the sides will actually provide better cooling then a "stock" bike without fairing/scoops ... JMHO ... I also like di...

Nothing wrong at all with your wrench, it WORKS. I have a lot of money in my tools only because that's how I made a living for a very long time ... just tools of my trade is all.

Congrats on the house! I am actually headed back south in a few hours to continue my search ... We are looking for something small where I can also hide out for winters.

Good for you, good luck with building the retirement home. I know the sale of your 57 is bitter sweet ... been there, done it. I suspect that after the new house is built that V8 itch will need to be scratched and you will find another to fill the space in the garage ...
