    Brian Garrahan off road training

    I always see Brian posting classes and events on here and on SBR and always said "I should do that, and get my buddies to do it with me". Finally after enough procrastination I sent him a message asking about some training here at the ranch for our whole group rather than trying to organize some...

    Should everyone own a 500 at some point?

    I love my 300, it's a beast. I really want to ride a 500 just to see what it's like, after all the build up from everyone that rode them when they were new/common. Browsing CL I see them for so relatively cheap it's so temping to just buy and try out. Then I started thinking about my baby boy...

    Book for newborns going to sleep?

    Baby showed up four weeks early and we're about to go home, help me! There was a thread on here a few months ago where everyone was recommending this essential book for getting a newborn to sleep and I forgot to save the link, now I can't find it. Baby and momma (and me?) are all good...

    FMF customer service

    Ordered a silencer for my 'new' bike and ponied up for some express shipping to get it done this week. Next business day FMF called me up and said it will get there in the same time by basic ground so they changed the order for me. CSB. :thumbup

    Ford E350 vans

    Need to buy a used E350 cargo van for my wife's business, but I don't know much about Fords engine lineup. Go for the gas V8, V10, diesel 6.0 or 7.3? Will occasionally do some light towing, like the size of a motorcycle trailer :laughing
