    My Tracks App for Android

    I used this app for a while to track my bicycle rides before apps like Runkeeper and MapMyRide got popular. My Tracks seems to be the best at gathering useful data, but it just isn't as easy to use on the fitness side of things as these others. Take a look at your elevation changes on the app...

    I am most sure we pay too much for insurance!

    Make sure you're fully releasing the shift lever after you shift to second. I found this was the only issue I ever had when working between gears. It's easy for boots to hold the lever up slightly even though you think you've finished the shift.

    Looking for a protective hot weather jacket

    I've got one of these. Seriously is like wearing no jacket at speed and not bad while sitting either. I think the armour is actually better than the A* touring jacket I have. Joe Rocket Yamaha Champion Mesh Jacket - Motorcycle Jackets - Jafrum

    head shake-tank slapper-on decel

    I've noticed this issue with the bags on as well. It is really only an issue for me if I take my hands off the bars and if there's significant wind. I do wish there was a better way to shift some of that weight forward. The front end definitely feels lighter than it should with my wife and...

    MotoGP today (Spoiler Alert!!!!)

    What a race! I must say the coolest moment was Lorenzo looking back after he crossed the line and pumping his fist when he realized Rossi was bringing home second for the sweep. Stoner would never have had that type of reaction. Jorge is cocky for sure, but he gets it and is a respectful...

    GIVI PLXR364 + V35's, Passenger experiences? (and pics)

    I always get on the bike first and have my wife just use the left passenger peg and grab me for leverage to climb on. We have the topcase too, so it's not the easiest feat. It is especially difficult for her in riding pants. I think Marthy's idea is pretty great honestly. We'll have to try...

    Indiana Forum member's group ride/meet n greet Saturday May 18th

    There's a chance I could come down for a morning ride. Unfortunately I have an event that evening, so it'll depend on the route etc.

    go pro3 - flashing leds...

    Highly doubt you'd even have issues. The lights are so small and not that bright.

    Give hard bags - looking to sell

    I'll help before a moderator catches this... You need to set a price... I'd suggest you list model numbers and more details too.

    SMH10 on Bell RS1

    I have the same issue, but I haven't had any problems just having the wire come out of the back left quarter of the helmet and wrapping over the neck roll. I never feel the wire with it coming out by the back of my neck. I don't have the Sena though, so I'm not sure how the wire compares to my...
