That part usually lasts about 90 minutes, right?

Neither our weak president nor our corrupt congress have what it takes to effectively deal with this problem. The sad fact is that is will take a much larger tradegy for the public to demand a decisive military response. Unfortuately, my gut tells me something bigger and far worse is coming.

I don't think it's the same bike. That one doesn't look like it has ABS. The guy that bought mine was from Michigan.

There was a small car lot that used my car wash to get cars ready to sell. One time the guy popped the hood to wash the engine on a used Toyota. Yeah, that one left on a flat bed. High pressure water gets places that rain or hose water just can't.

Some car washes (not many) even have motorcycle wash bays. I don't recall exactly, but I think the industry standard was around 700-800 psi for motorcycles.

I used to own a self serve car wash. I can't tell you how many times I saw someone wash a motorcycle and it wouldn't start after. It was usually HDs or older UJMs, but not always. A typical car wash sprays water around 1200-1500 psi. That is too much for some semi-exposed motorcycle connections. I spray mine down with bug & tar remover in the driveway then wash with a hose and bucket.

Was the General Lee actively projecting hate? I can't seem to feel any from the photo.

Those sneaky bastards

Seems like a coating inside the tank would solve this pretty easily. http://www.kreem.com/fueltankliner.html

Why do Ducati tanks have this swelling issue but a $10 plastic gas can hold the same fuel for years without issue?

I'm out this weekend. How is the Aprilia so far?

This is why I don't like buying electronics on Amazon. Too many grey market mystery products made somewhere in China. And too many fake reviews in broken English that are written by the sellers.

I've always had a soft spot for the 1986 Interceptor 500. IMO, it's one of the best looking bikes form that era.

How fast do the transitions change? I like my flip down shade on my Scorpion.

How does the S&W shoot? Every Smith firearm I've owned has been excellent.

Ruger makes some nice ones near that price.

Really good advice for spirited street riding. It's not the same as a race line you would take on track. Do this and look as far through the corner as possible and you will start to feel smoother and more confident (looking at the asphalt right in front of your tire is a bad habit).

That car that was flipped over near the junction of 78/83 looked pretty nasty. Hard to tell exactly what happened, but I figured they were coming up the hill and took to that 25 mph turn way too hot. For those not on this ride, responders were already there. We had to detour due to 83 not being passable.

Do you know what brand? I think Ozark is the in house Walmart brand.

Blind corners spook everyone to some degree. There are techniques you can use to increase your confidence when you can't see all the way through the corner. For example: your corner entry line and head position make a big difference on your line of sight. This is an area where the skills needed for street vs track riding are different. If a corner makes you feel like you're taking a chance or "guessing" then you need to slow down. Riding with a "reserve" is mandatory for this type of riding. It's more than I have time to type, but I'd be happy to discuss it at a gas stop on a future ride.

I'm looking for a 10x10. They have them at Walmart, but...

If I get a ticket, you getting one too doesn't help me. My rule is if one of us is gets a ticket, let's not make it easy for him to give us all tickets. If he turned on his lights I'd have stopped, but otherwise no. I just wanted to draw him away from everyone else once he started following me. I wasn't about to give him a reason to stop me. Now just before that intersection I took a turn somewhere near triple digits, guess he didn't see that

Rushmore?

Are you on a Pirate ship searching for booty?
