    HELP - Loose Bolt, or ridiculous coincidence?

    Drop could have been a sign... Imagine the bolt was wedged somewhere, and you rode the bike and the bolt wedged in the chain or someplace worse while riding. That could have been bad. So in a way... the drop, was your bikes way of shedding dangerous/unused material. Smart Bike, Always...

    New helmet shape question

    Thanks All Good idea with the spoon. The helmet is tight getting on, but once on it is snug and besides the front of my head near my hairline getting pressed, the rest fits. Maybe a thinner padding will help. I'll check out their web site. Dan.

    New helmet shape question

    I got a new helmet. Scorpion EXO-500 Medium (Neon Yellow Oil) Got it on Wednesday and Thurday did a long ride with it. It's very snug. After 10hrs of riding, my forehead had an indent from the top front seam. I was starting to get a headache. :( Has anyone ever sanded the inside of...

    Caught in the rain

    You are correct. In fact, when your finger shrivel up when you are in water for too long, it is because your fingers absorbed water (Osmosis) Geek answer: Understanding Biology: Wrinkly fingers and toes.

    First Accident!

    Im sure there are other "dangerous" spots I think, when doing any automotive/cycle repairs, paying attention and taking it slow is best. I was trying to prep the bike for this mornings ride, the air pump gauge slowed me down, and may have been in a hurry. Rrrrrrr.

    snow.... People always say oooo snow, it's so beautiful. Sure...... :rolleyes: If it was 80F snow it would be peachy. Try shoveling a driveway of the stuff for more than 1 hr, until your toes and finger tips are starting to hurt. So much snow that drifts are up to the side windows on...

    Girl vs Girl Rant

    Mike, I took the MSF class. They were Honda Rebels (250) They were pretty sloppy and had a hard time starting. (Carbs?) After the class I researched a bunch of bikes. People said buy a Ninja 650 or a 500. You don't want a 250. At least 3 times while learning to ride the 250, I let the...
