How about this

I volenteered to be a Moto Rider for the AZ triathlon. That means we ride the course on our bikes, carry film, photographers, etc. Its a good cause. You get a T-shirt..whoo hoo..gas money, and all the power bars and Gatarade you can drink. Did I mention you could be on world wide TV? We need more ri...

I've been on a BMW's for 25 years, and a lot of miles. I've had some conversations with a few motor officers here in the Phoenix metro area (none in a professinal sense if ya catch my drift) All on a BMW love them, with some exceptions: They don't turn as tight at low speeds as a KZ1000 bike, I'll g...

Dude..that sucks, if it makes you feel any better, here in Arizona its a little chilly. Only going to be 71 today, with severe clear. I'm only going to be able to open half the vents on my jacket

I traded my 03 R1150R off for a R1200ST. Its a niche bike, great motor, you think ithas no low end grunt? I have to disagree. I've had mine a little over 3 weeks and racked up 2700 miles so far, commuting, riding mountians, extended highway travel, and I LOVE IT! Very comfortable, seat sucks but IMO...

Last week I traded my 03 Piedmont Red R1150R off for a new R1200ST. As much as I love the ST, I'm missing my R already. She was my first oilhead after 20 years on airheads. I loved my R and put alot of miles on her, and never took it easy. I bought the ST because it was that bike, the one that the f...

Before you use the bungie buddys take a look at
helen2wheels.com
Been using it for years, awesome stuff. Never leaks, always stays on, and lasts forever. NO BUNGIES, I hate bungies.

Bill, you'll see me I'm sure. I live waaayyyy across town from you. However, gotta ride ya know.

Thanks BP and SC. Had a great time its now Monday, and really except for a couple times we were too busy having fun for me to think about the new ST, left a little money in Vegas but not much.

Well BP..must have been Victory..I take delivery of an ST on TUE. Dean, if ya read this, I have already contacted San Jose about the bar backs, told em you sent me if that's ok. I'm gonna give it a month to see if the stockers are ok. I have to wait for the bike as its 0600 on Friday the 13th and I'...

No not that..I'm getting married the 1st of Jan. We have been together for over 6 years, 2 kids, so its about time. She's a wonderful woman, great Mother, and encourages me to ride. Loves to ride with me when we can. The best part is she digs BMW's and loves the Roadster, did I mention I love this w...

I use premium from a name brand station. I have never had any problems. I know for a fact that some regular unleaded got dumped in the super tank one time as my bike pinged and quit doing it when I ran half the tank out and refueled. I changed the filter in the tank and now have an outside filter as...

Harry, Are you leaving it on the sidestand or centerstand? Leaving it on the sidestand will cause heavy smoking upon startup, due to the oil seeping past the rings on the low side(left) perfectly normal for the R259 motor. Relax, she'll use oil for the first few thousand miles. BMW uses a hard coati...

DJ..I had one of those if those" If this van's a rocking don't come a knocking" on my van in the late 70's. Right next to it I had one that said" Don't laugh it could be your daughter"

The trick is to have a set of long T handle ball end metric allens. I bought a set of snap-ons a few years back and they are worth their weight in gold. About 100 bucks. There are others at Sears and other tool jobbers. While your at it, a set of 1/4 drive and a set of 3/8 drive metric allens is han...

Oh Man! I have a Dodge Quad cab :roll: , but, I have 3 kids, dirt bikes, and NEED a big truck so..uuummmm, it ain't true, ya know, what the article says, its practical for me to have a big truck , yea that's it..its practical...besides I use the R for all my commuting, 100 miles a day, most people a...

Here's one: I used to travel to Naritya Japan every 6 weeks or so for business and stay at the same hotel. One time I checked in and was walking thru the lobby to the elevator when I came across a table with a big basket that had bags of peanuts in it, it had a sign that read: "Free your nuts h...

GREAT Idea!!!
I'm AZComtak,

Years ago when the Honda 750 Hondamatic came out I rode one. It was weird! I agree with paper, it was a pig, and I kept looking for a clutch. Every truck I have every had is a manual transmisson including my Dodge quad cab I have now. Real trucks you shift! The first thing I do when I get in the wif...

I carry a SW .40, all the time. I have a L-frame SW .357 for home defense and a pistol grip Mossberg 500 12 gauge as a back up. Not fond of the 9MM round. The hydostatic shock of the .40 and the .357 gets the job done. I hunt Javelina with a 12 inch barreled Dan Wesson .357 with a scope, its up clos...
