    Snell VS ECE

    So, my Tucker Rocky Rep was in my shop the other day and we were talking about the difference between Snell and ECE approved helmets. Mind, that everyone has their different opinions of these 2 approved helmets. Opinions are like a$$holes, everyone has one. But I never really knew the...

    Angels are among us

    So, my husband and I went out for a nice little jaunt yesterday afternoon. I call it now, the "almost-widow-maker" road. It's the Newberry Crater road in Central Oregon, I'm sure JSP and Tatty know which road I'm talking about. It's the road that leads up to East Lake as well as Paulina Lake...

    Is anybody else getting the access restricted thing when you type in the website page for the forum at all? I'm posting from my phone because apparently the access restricted page thinks I'm a bot and won't let me past that page. I can't get onto this page without entering a bunch of jibberish...

    Not so FZ6R, but general mechanical help

    Have you guys ever heard of your actual speedometer whining? Or has it always been the cable that whines? On my fiance's bike(83 Suzuki GS1100gl), he says the whining sounds like it's coming from his Speedometer cluster and he's TOTALLY convinced that it is the cluster that is whining. He's...

    Applying Wheel Strips SUCKS!

    Yes, it may look pretty good in the picture, but when you get up close. It looks quite terrible LOL! But can you blame me? This is my first time ever applying my own set of Progrip wheel strips.

    Changing sprockets?

    I am going to have to change my sprockets and chain on my bike probably this summer, and I was wondering if I went down a tooth for the countershaft sprocket, what would I have to change the rear sprocket to, to get more bottom end. And how much top end would this take away from my beast?

    Monday blues

    Here I am sitting at work, thinking about how I wish the weather would change back to what it was mid-July. And then the thought of me being on my bike sounds a lot more fun than sitting here in my chair typing away on my keyboard. What do you guys think? Want to join me for a mental...
