also the pirelli angels performance was surprising! good choice for the all round rider.

second one is after doing some doughnuts yes i did drive out on the beach and around. I had a gravel road with water up to the pegs, and some small washouts to get there.It went well. I will repeat in the future im sure.

I put in close to 400 km in 4.5 hours or about 250 miles The trip was supposed be around 3000 km 1680 miles in 6 days, wound up 850 km 530 miles in 3

British Columbia has really cracked down on heavy speeders, if you are 40km/h over you vehicle gets impounded, and you lose your license for 3 days right off the bat, then comes the fines and upped insurance and crap later. The impound and losing the license though cant even dispute

That's pretty good idea, I'm going to have to add power points the bike, heated grips are coming next payday. Hands absolutely froze, had to stop and warm them on the exhaust to get feeling back into them

yeah it was rainy and i explained that it was safer for me to pass as i could see, and that the mist on my visor wouldnt budge at the or near the speed limit, and i hadnt had any tickets in 10 years, with a class 1 license(truck driver) i admitted i could have done better, but didnt feel the...

just got one, i was in a 100km/h zone, going 130 ish, i was passing, i politely talked the cop down from $198 to $138, plus i paid it right away which knocked another $25 off. 2 points on my license is what i hate. havent had a speeding ticket in almost 10 years

this was the test fit of the saddlebags you can see the garbage black plastic pieces that were supposed to hold the shape of the bags, i took some 2"x 1/8" steel flat bar, heated in up and put two 90 bends into it, just wide enough to sit over the seat. with it in place, it worked perfect...

well the plan was wednesday night i was going to leave on my first big road trip this year. I had new pirelli angle tires on, some nelson rigg touring soft saddle bags, fresh oil, chain wax. I had to work late, and my soft luggage with full weight, rubbed on my tires, so i had to build a metal...

my goodness thank you for the pics, i was just about to start ranting on how to mount the springs

Nevermind I figured it out, goes between the caliper and mounting bracket

I just swapped out my rear tire, when assembling the brakes I found a clip, and I never seen where it came out of, I have it nearly assembled and just can't seem to find where it goes or a diagram of it. Looks like maybe an anti rattle clip???

he had bad form and made a few mistakes but he wouldnt have went down if he didnt spin the rear tire, too much throttle too soon.

my mirrored one is all i run, its fine, even in the dark. i have a joe rocket ballistic 7.0 jacket, it has a pocket for a spare visor, really sweet feature.

pirelli angles are on order, the cee baileys window looks good, might lean that way. i cant wait to go riding, the airhawk might be a good addition, i will call some local upholstery shops to see what they say about modding my seat
