    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.

    Sounds good. I won't probably be out much until May due to work, but I definitely want to get some riding in this year.

    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.

    Yessir! Do you have anybody you ride with around here? I really only know a couple guys with Harleys.

    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...

    Anyone here use a UCLEAR communicator?

    Awesome product! Yes, you can still hear music with earplugs in, but I will warn you that it won't be very loud, especially at highway speeds. Without plugs, you can hear clearly most of the time. I've also had great reports from people that have called me when I was riding that it sounded...

    GoPro Hero3 Black Edition

    My Hero 2 crashed when I tried to do the firmware update to run the Wifi Bacpac I got for Christmas. Hoping GoPro will replace it without question. Reeeeaally hoping they only have the 3 to give out!

    shoei or arai?

    They aren't quite quick release like most are going to. They're just a pain in the a$$. However, in that comparison, I'd go Arai all day. Bought my wife the Signet Q and the fit and finish is simply the best. I love my Bell, but if Arai offered Transition shield tech, I'd switch...

    Indianapolis apartments *Update*

    My brother rented downtown for a year. He stayed at a really nice place on the canal called the Cosmopolitan. Rent wasn't cheap, but it's a great location and very new / modern facilities. There are a few places on the canal that might be what you're looking for. If you don't want to commute...

    What did you do to your bike today?

    Well, this wasn't installed today, but I'm just getting around to posting it. I installed an AdMore Lighting Kit to my Givi V46 top case. I did the light install in the case, but I left the brake light wiring up to my local shop. I think they over charged me for it, but it's done and I didn't...
