I'd go for a set of ankle high boots next. When I commute, I'm wearing a jacket, gloves and Arai, but for spirited riding Ill add my boots and protective pants too. My jeans have Kevlar lining and I'm looking for a set that has armor too.. The Kevlar is nice for abrasion, but wont help with bones!

I think we have a lot of lurkers... Lc owners are too shy?!

Get on and post!

Take the air filter off and stuff it with dry paper towels, and wrap it as well - rubber band them on (not too tight) and let it sit. It will pull the oil from the filter. Repeat if necessary.

How many do we have so far?

Hmmm, tempting! I'm looking into this one. Thanks for setting it up!

You do need to sign up as a member to get in there. Apologies for this, but we needed a way to get some site income to keep the lights on. I think most find that the nominal member fee more than covers the value obtained from the site, so its a win-win.

Very cool!

That sounds to me like your high/low beam switch is malfunctioning.. I'd start there, but maybe someone else has experience here. I'd guess the controls are similar to other R bikes.

ps- welcome to the site!

Hah, yah this is not a Google ad, its one I put up personally.

The worst is at Christmas time when your wife knows everything you bought based on the ads coming in.

Sorry about the MaxBMW ad for those that don't like seeing them. It will be up for a little while at the top and then I'll lower it down out of the way. Thanks for your patience there Please go click on the link and check their site out - they have some of the best prices around and are really nice ...

Beer "post processing" may have been a better choice.

Great shot!

I've been looking for a good way to build a fun bike route then play it back via gps on my phone (so I can hear it in my headset). I have an iphone and tried a few apps, none of which actually gave me turn by turn directions. Has anyone sorted out a way to build a route in some ios app (or computer ...

Hah, cool. I ended up getting one.. but man the range stinks! I'm getting maybe 100 yards before I see a officer. I did some test with a static speed sign and its just as bad. I bout the 950..
