I'm looking for a Trans for my R1100RT. I'd really like an M97, which came in 1997-2000 R1100R, RT and GS models And I'm pretty set on getting one less than 40k miles so I can avoid (postpone) the hassle of an immediate rebuild. Been watching eBay, Facebook, Craigslist and hit up a handful of...

I'm looking for a new gig in Software Implementation, Product or Customer Success. 3 years ago I partnered up with a couple friends to found a startup. Its been fun, but we're way behind on financial targets and my balance sheet has hit ugly. My background is a mix of IT, Customer Success...

I'm going to a conference in SF next week. Any advice on motorcycle parking near the Fort Mason center? A couple sites say the on-site parking has motorcycle spaces... anyone vouch for them? Not looking for cheap or sneaky - work's covering the cost. Looking for safe/easy. Thanks Scott

My brother has my old 88 Ninja 600. It has 16" wheels, and no one makes the newer generation of tires for that. I've alwasy run Metzler ME 33/55 on it, but I'm wondering if anyone knows of a better tire, or a way to upgrade to 17" wheels to take advantage of newer tire technology. Thanks for...

I've read with interest the discussions on the 010/020s, 207s and M1s, but I have a twist. Anyone have an experience/opinion with any of the above on a heavier bike like a Triumph Trophy, ST1100 or Concourse? I have the triumph and need new tires. The Triumph guys dislike heavily some tires I...

Due to financial issues, I am selling my 96 British Racing Green 900cc Triumph Trophy. It has 15000 miles on it and looks quite well except for a scrach on one of the hard bags. The trophy is a sport/touring bike like the st1100, fjr1300 or bmw rt1150 The bike has 15K miles on it. It has...

I read up on some of the old boot threads (thanks for the link to kneedraggers.com) and still have a question. I wear a size 14-15 shoe. The only boots I see in that size are way outside my price range. I'd like to get some proper riding boots, but unemployment forces me to limit my budget...

The purists will hate me for this one, but I bought my bike to commute, not to corner carve (but, when I get a job again, the next one will be cool...) Anyway, I have heard a great deal about gel grips, and a bit about gel gloves and wonder if anyone here has any experience/suggestions. Seems...

I have alwasy thought that motorcycles were allowed in the car pool, but got to thinking about it further today as I headed thru 80 north of the maze... there are no signs saying "motorcycle ok" and the signs all say 3 or more per car... Anyone know for sure? Scott

Boy is that title lame, but, heck, what do you want. new to this forum, but not to riding. Been riding about 10 years, mostly on an older Ninja I just loaned to my brother to learn to ride. bought a 96 Triumph Trophy yesterday. Make fun of me as you will, but I know how I ride and how I like...
