yes, I meant hand GUARDS.

Good idea on the pizza cert.

here's the answer...and I feel almost as stupid as I did a few hours ago when I dropped her... I called TrophyMoto here in Greenville and spoke to Troy who gave me the fix for free. I have the GS handgrips on my bike and he knew right away that it shifted position when I dropped the bike, causing th...

Ok, so I just did the super embarrassing low low speed dump in a parking lot. Came to a stop on an angle, got indecisive about which way to go, and slowly tipped over onto my right side. The good: NO ONE saw me. I was able to pick the bike up no problem. No visible damage. All seemed fine. The bad: ...

I would love to, but I work saturdays and sundays. I am out here working at a summer camp teaching woodshop. Wednesdays are my only days off. I know that its tough, but hey, I took a shot. Was thinking of running up through Franklin then to Highland on the 64...riding under that waterfall and stuff....

hi all, so I am back here in Rabun County Georgia for the summer. But this time I brought my bike!!!!!!!!! I've been working a lot since I got here so haven't had the chance to do any really long rides, but I have been having fun zipping around fairly locally. Its last minute, but I just found out I...

Thanks Roy,

Considering you are way up there in the great white north, I figure my bike should be safe for just 2 months in a Georgia summer.

hi again, My beloved Frau has always been garage kept. I am heading to north Georgia for the summer (will cover that in another post) and am bringing my bike...totally psyched to ride all those amazing roads out there. Anyway,, I have no place to keep her sheltered, so I need to buy a cover. Any rec...

I hear ya Steve...but do the math...$350 for the case, $175 for the mount, $75 for the backrest = $600!!! I don't get it, when they have perfectly great looking cases in the monolock line, but they won't mount to our bikes. hence my thought about making my own luggage rack, attaching it to the syste...

Hi all, I am wanting to put a top box on my bike...mostly to have a backrest for a passenger...but it's also good to have extra storage. I've been looking at the GIVI boxes of course and it seems that the monokey boxes require that mounting bracket for an extra $180. That, a box, and a backrest pad ...

actually, I got my geography screwed up. Robbinsville is out of the way. She get get me to Ashville or Waynesville. It seems there was a great place in Hendersonville, but he's closed down for 2013. Any recommendations for Ashville or Wanesville. All I see is HD rentals. I"m honestly not that m...

thanks for all the great advice. I am just outside of Clayton, GA. Have been here for a couple of weeks getting settled into camp and the routine. It seems that Wednesdays are my days off, which seem ideal for riding the beautiful roads without the weekender tourist traffic. There is no rental in Cl...

I totally struggled with the idea of riding out. The problem is time. I am on a really tight schedule. I figure it would take me a good 5 days to ride out and 5 to ride back. That's 2 weeks that I don't have. My wife is already being an AMAZINGLY supportive sport as it is with me going away to work ...

hi all, I used to be quite active on this board but haven't been heard from in several years. My life got very intense with business, marriage, kids, etc. You know, the little things that can get in the way of riding. I am now also back in school as a full time graduate student. i live in Los Angele...

hi all, Been on this site for about 8 years, haven't posted in some time. I live in Los Angeles and ride a 2002 R1150R. I am going to be working in Clayton, GA this summer. I am totally excited about getting the chance to ride what I've only heard about...blue ridge pkway, deals gap, etc. I won't ha...

didn't see any corrosion. and yes, the overflow came from by the foot peg and it looked clean.


So what can I do about the piston sticking?

on 2002 R1150R ABS Just changed out the front brake pads. 1. The right side set of pads seems to have worn much faster than the left side. Is this normal? 2. Now that they are changed, when I rotate the front wheel there seems to be a lot of friction from the pads on the rotor. The pads themselves a...

oh sorry, I'm in Los Angeles.

Thanks for the info!!!

Hi, mine are all beat up and cracked (partially due to lane splitting in Los Angeles traffic). does anyone know the part number for them? can you get just the rubber protectors for the case covers, or do you need to replace the entire cover? Suggestions as to where to purchase?

Thanks.

relatively new odyssey (2 months). that shouldn't be the problem.

hi, Long time no post. I have an '02 R with abs. Rode to work today no problem. When I started her up to ride home, the brake light on the dash was blinking red and I had no power to the abs. A bit scary riding home like that with no brake power. yeah, I know I probably shouldn't have ridden it. Doe...
