Do not I repeat do not trust the suction cup. I had my Sirius mounted on my bikes windshield with one and it fell off and got loged in between my forks and the tank causing a 30mph wipeout pulling into a gas station. Please use a ram mount. Don't end up like me.

My mom just kept a sack full of marbles in the freezer and when I was being stubborn she just poured the bag in bed with me. I tell you one thing, you will get out of bed fast when you have 30 or so ice cold marbles rolling up next to you.

Tall People make me sick. :x It took me 6 months to get comfy bouncing from one side to another at stop lights. :D I bought my rock from my much taller father in law and he had a peg lowering kit installed. I rode with it for a while but I decided that a rockster needs to have the pegs up high. I st...

There's a rear brake?

Im with DJ. I only use mine for moral suppport when making a turn. I just set my foot on it and pretend to push on it. Seems safer not to use it to me. And to think I used to be afraid of the front brake.

No more pastrami and liverwurst or you.
Sorry to hear that. My old man has it and man does it hurt. Just watch your diet and you can controll it. Just try not to think about what it actually is.

Absolute Power, Corrupts Absolutely. I just wish that he would have had this meltdown a little closer to his last movie release. That would have confirmed all the Bigot rumers that were flying around about him then. I kind of feel like I was lied to when he went on Barbara Walters and told us that t...

You guys do know the only way to properly wear a kilt is to "go commando" underneath, right? Quick access and all that! :P wncbmw It is called "Regimental". :D Enough hijack. It is very easy to want to dress in street clothes to ride in this blasted heat we are all sharing in ri...

Take if from me. Do not, I repeat, Do Not ride in a kilt. I had a hard time explaning myself to the nice officer.

It was 107 here in Dallas yesterday and I was riding around suffering, and I noticed the strangest thing. While I was moving the air inside my helmet with the visor down was cooler than then air coming into it with it open or cracked. But when at a stand still it was the other way around. I thought ...

About your Pics Kristi,
Dallas is allways prittier in a picture than in person and those two pics you posted are about the prettiest I have ever seen Dallas and I grew up there.
Thank you
Tommy

I am having a leaking problem with my final drive now on my Rock. I just passed 30,000. I haven't got it to a mechanic just yet. I am afraid of the cost.

My Father In Law rides a RT and recently he was having a conversation with one of his friends that is a serous Harley guy. HG: "BMW's are just glorified mopeds." FIL: "Really? So do you want to race?" HG: "Sure. No problem." (Smug look of confidence on his face) FIL: &q...

What a deal. At least he didn't make it all the way through. Did he leave you any preasants all piled up?

A I'd think China would be in a similar dire straites (sp??) if not for the vast resources of people and land to draw from. Staving off the inevitable tho?? time will tell. You are correct, but China is very close to running out of those land resources at an alarming rate due to the massive amount ...

I can't believe that they took off Two Wheel Tuesday for that crap. If I wanted to learn how to be a Jack A--. I would go hang out with the 20 year old punks on the freeway. But I did like the segment on the streetfighters, but I think that Corbin's Ride On had a segment on that guy before.

Thanks guys I appreaciate the feedback. I took her out yesterday evening for a ride and I believe that we will be allright. I normally can't flat foot the bike, but with the extra weight of 2 twelve packs of beer and a passenger (even with the suspension set to handle the extra weight) I was able to...

Okay here goes. My wife and I are planning a trip down to Galveston from Dallas next week. In the process of planning I suggested that we take the bike and she went for it. :D But now I am feeling a little worried about it. :? My wife has grown up on the back of a bike so no problems there, but I ha...

Mine is an 04 with 30,000 miles and I don't have the extended warranty so I don't think that they will fix it. I am still going to go and see. Thanks for all the help. I did check the fluid levels and the only one that looked alittle low was the tranny. :( The leak isn't completely horrible so I am ...

And and now another chapter in the Helmet Wars

You know now that you mention it I have seen some fluid coming out of the vent. Now I am scared that my tranny might have a bad seal. Damn my luck.
I am going to go home and check my fluid in the tranny.
Thanks,
Tommy
