Here is the tire changer we use. It isn't cheap, but it has been used alot lately.

How about a price on a Motion Pro SyncPro tool?

I brought in donuts to work today.

If i did this, it would look like the running of the bulls towards our break room.

Sucks to here you totaled your bike. From what I have read, it will fit a Gen2 and Gen3 FJR. Any plans on what your next bike is gonna be?

Ducs are not for everyone. Enjoy your extremely reliable, Harley Davidson clone.

Looks like I am going to Chicago Saturday to pick up a Motorcycle Lift Table.

Otter box cases work but in My experience are overpriced and oversized. Do yourself a favor and check out spigen cases. Had one on my note 3 for 2 years. Dropped that phone onto concrete multiple times and it still looks new. Have one on my LG g4 now. They're usually less than half the price of an otter box depending on the level of protection you get. I prefer the slim armor. Air-cushioned rubber inside with hard plastic outside.

I had a spigen on my LG G2 and loved it. Now I have one on my Samsung Note5 and they are awesome cases at a fraction of the price of an Otterbox.

I owned an iphone and dropped it several times, never busted a screen. Switched to android because itunes is the biggest pile of garbage I have ever used.

Does anyone else use the round kickstand pads as drink coasters?

Maybe this will be available in the near future?

I had the pleasure of meeting John Ryan, I sold him a motorcycle helmet one cold winter day as he was riding through Columbus. I had no idea who he was at the time, but found out over lunch at Polaris. He gave me a signed copy of his book, then walked out and threw his old helmet in the trash. It was about four years old/250,000 miles of use, he said.

I was sad to hear of his death a while back, but at least he died doing what he loved.

Yeah he was quite an amazing man. Crazy as hell too.

I have the long way round, long way down, and race to Dakar books. Getting ready to read them this winter. I read "The man who would stop at nothing". Great book about iron butt riding.

My patience for some people is only good for 4 1/2 days of the week.

That's Kiedaisch Point. Great photo spot. I haven't been up there in years, but accidently went back the wrong road and it was a steep gravel road.

I wear a pair of TCX X-Five Goretex boots. Super comfy, and a bit more toe room for myself with wide feet. I work in dress pants, so I leave a pair of dress shoes at work.

Great pics, where is the tunnel at?

It's what Kawi and all the COG guy say you have to run or you will eat them up even quicker on the slab. And I've played with that too and it's a true story. Only benefit you get from lower pressure is grip and as you seen this weekend I have very little to no problems with that.

I just need to realize it's one of those "it is what it is type of things". it's a super heavy bike with a heavy rider hitting the corners like a "fucking race bike" [emoji38] Just have to deal with a new tire every 3 to 4 thou

I came to the same realization. I guess the bright side is you get new tires quicker. Everyone loves the feel of two new tires.

Now i gotta wipe the drool off my desk. You having it tuned for 93, or E85?

Looks like you guys had a great time. Any spring trip plans? 

I wouldn't have even gotten to work without being notified via Text and email on my phone.

Luckily for me, I'm not the one who has to fix it. I'm the guy complaining why my brand new server isn't working lol

I just love walking into work and our server room has several alarms going off.....

Good choice. 

Yay it made it.

THIS is a must have on helmets. 

I am a rider, not a motorcycle enthusiast.  Harleys just never made my manly bits tingle.

That's what makes our hobby/lifestyle so great. We have endless options on what type of bike we want to ride. I'd like one of each but my money tree died....
