    Who has heated gloves?

    Since we're getting into the fall riding season I thought I would update my thread again. This time with a customer service experience. I've had my mobile warming heating gloves for two years. Recently I had some issues with them. The insulation in my left hand thumb area was worn to the point...

    Is it safe to plug a tire ?

    That's one of those things where you have to do what you're comfortable doing. I won't suggest what you should do but I can tell you my personal experience. I plugged a rear tire and rode that way for 500+ miles until my replacement tire was shipped and installed. In that time I rode on dry...

    poor mpg with new bike ???

    My bike will also get this kind of mileage when I'm riding in temperatures in the 40's or colder.

    Another BS article about us and our culture

    You're right, the article focuses on "stunt riders" using the streets as their playground. Unfortunately, it also stereotypes anyone on a sport bike or a "crotch rocket" as they call it, into the same category as the stunt riders. Anyone who is out riding around minding their own business is now...

    Another BS article about us and our culture

    As soon as something happens in this country, the liberal media picks it up and runs away with it. Insert any topic. Motorcycles...such as the incident in NY...Guns...such as the shootings in Newton, CT...Amusement rides...such as the Six Flags Over Texas Roller Coaster... Whatever their target...

    Heated Gloves

    I agree that keeping your core warm will help keep your limbs warm too. I ride on the highway for 40 miles where the speed is 65 MPH. At those speeds, the air moving over your fingers just robs them of heat. That's where having heated gloves or grips really pays off.

    Heated Gloves

    With battery powered heated gloves, you're not tied to a single bike. You can use them on a second bike, an atv, a snow mobile or while hunting too.

    Heated Gloves

    I don't wear any other hand protection with these gloves. In my opinion, they would hold up in a crash. Probably not as good as leather but way better than wearing nothing. I'll assume that statement was put in on the website to avoid a lawsuit later.

    running over bikes like bowling pins

    Go to the Youtube page of Michelinman900. He's the one who posted the original video. He's go 50 more videos just like it. That is unless he starts to delete the evidence.

    running over bikes like bowling pins

    There are dozens of videos like this on YouTube. A rider or group of riders out on the road acting like they own it. They disrespect everyone else and if someone retaliates in the least, they become a target and the situation escalates quickly. I say they found exactly what they were looking for.

    Heated Gloves

    I got battery powered Mobile Warming textile gloves about a year ago. They have a rechargeable battery so no need to play with wires. They recharge from dead in about 5 hours. The gloves have 5 power settings. (Off-25%-50%-75%-100%) I have a 40 mile commute to work. It takes me about 45 minutes...

    My time has come..

    Congratulations! If this will be your first child, the best way I can describe parenthood is that it will be the most frustrating and rewarding time of your life. But its worth every minute.

    HELP! Any jeep guys out there?

    I had a '95 Jeep Cherokee. 4.0L 6 cylinder engine. 5-speed manual transmission. I bought it with 90,000 miles on it. I put 100,000 miles on myself and never did a thing to it except change the oil. What a great Jeep. The only reason I got rid of it was because the Jeep Dealer gave me $9,000 for...

    Just bought TBE but?

    I had the same question myself last year, so I called Two Brother Racing and spoke to a technician there. They said that there would be no damage if I install a TBR exhaust without ever putting the Juice Box on. I have a TBR exhaust with the P1 power tip still in for my 2011 FZ6R and have had it...
