    Well this is good bye

    Well have just over 1000 miles now. Canyons and twisties it handles better than I would have imagined. Able to keep up with sport bikes quite easily. Any straight and bam they're gone but that's obvious. Comfort is better than I thought it would be. Seat is well a factory seat. Refoam and cover...

    Well this is good bye

    Going on a long ride this weekend. I will give a report. I know what your saying about the offerings. The I looked at the 690 Duke but the ABS can't be switched off. BMW had one a couple of years ago but trashed the model. Don't know if they're still available outside the US.

    Well this is good bye

    Had my 8 since November. Bike before that was a sportster and a DRZ before that. And before all of those sport bikes since 2005. Even with the seating position of the 8 even any slightly forward position has been causing problems with my shoulders. When I left the army I had bad knee and...

    Earplugs?

    Until I started using an iPod I would use these. Military issue. Single flange style. They blocked out the sharp noises like the crack of a rifle but allowed voice commands to be heard. These were far superior to allow voices to be heard compared to what they are issuing now. They are hard to...

    Rear suspension, rear arm relay bent

    Might I suggest having a weight limit on the tire biters your picking up. Joking. I wonder if this would turn into a recall? Once is a freak accident. Twice something's fishy.

    Not if but when...

    I tell my wife everything. 8 years in the infantry while she was watching CNN hoping not to catch a glimpse of me. It's the not knowing she can't handle. She is stronger than me sometimes. She can handle it. Anyone outside of my wife I could give two shits less what they think of my...

    Wind noise

    What's nice about those is they have a plug on the back where you can run the sound tube in for coms. I still use my issue ones to this day. They're about 8 years old now. Found some similar ones at Impact guns locally.
