    2012 Highway Patrol Charger tech question

    I am unsure if CHP or local Agencies use(d) these. A friend buys cars at state auctions and flips them. He has a 2012 Charger And we cannot figure out how to pull the HWY Patrol specific rear interior door panels to replace with civilian versions. I assume it is a fairly standard design...

    NC700x Wilbers Shock unused, Sargent Seat, SW Motech sidecase rack

    Consignment shops in the Bay Area?

    I am visiting Oakland late September or early October. I wouldn't mind riding down and flying back. I have a bike that isn't selling locally and riding season is almost over here. The bike will meet the 7,500 mile requirement for importation to CA. Does anyone have any info on a quality...

    Daytona boots - Looking for suggestions/feedback`

    My waterproof boots are flippy floppy garbage Tourmaster Solution boots. My regular boots are Alpinestars SMX Plus. I really like the fit and comfort of these boots. The ankle protection is a bit suspect. They do make a Goretex version and I imagine they would fit perfectly like the regular...

    Insurance Claim question

    I had an accident 3 weeks ago. Because I am dumb. It took awhile to get the adjuster out to look at the bike. I own the bike outright, so they will be writing me the checks directly. They wrote up replacement parts, labor and accessories. The Accessories are priced correctly, the parts...

    I've been Judged.

    After the exploding Harley travesty, I continued to look for a proper candidate. I eventually settled upon a Victory Judge in Denver. 1,050 mile fly and ride. The bike only had 1,057 miles on it. A quick flight and some paperwork saw me off to the mountains on a beautiful Saturday morning...

    Welcome to Harley Davidson........

    Flew to Denver to fly and ride home. Had several bikes lined up. 3 were not as advertised. 2 were overpriced and they wouldn't deal. 1 was as advertised and the shop has a great rep. It is a bit out from Denver, so I had to take an express bus. Got to the shop. HD FXDF Fat Bob. Bike looked...

    Aftermarket shock brands - any real difference?

    I am purchasing an aftermarket shock for the NC700x. Forks are being reworked as well. I have no interest in the "prestige" or need for a name. Rather I want something that will work as it should and is rebuildable. Is there any effective difference (if features selected are the same) for...

    Fork drain plug washer question..... :|

    :nchantr I stripped out the drainplug on the wee nighthawk fork leg. We could not helicoil, so my mate tapped it to an 8mm. I cannot source an 8mm short enough locally. I put 1 copper washer against the fork and 1 regular metal one behind it so the 8mm drain bolt could seat. It is tight per...

    Hey Kid, do you want some of that sweet San Francisco Square Footage?

    http://vanguardproperties.com/building/Cubix-SF 259sq feet for $448,000. $1729/sq ft I looked at these years ago when they built them. Nice enough but nothing special. No parking. Next door to a city Mental Health facility and near 80. It appears to be the most expensive residential square...

    Riding Chile?

    I have some time coming in March and have a few destinations in mind. I keep coming back to Chile when thinking about riding in South America. This would be around 10-14 days of riding and a few days on either end. I am an experienced long distance rider, with well over 100,000 miles of...

    Tokyo - where are the motos?

    I'm in Tokyo for a bit, and to my surprise there are almost no motorcycles and only a few scooters. I wrongly assumed it would be like Paris or Barcelona and be overflowing. Do Japanese put their bikes away in the fall? On a side note the humidity is oppressive. Feels like a lukewarm...

    Japan vs Australia travel costs

    I've been doing quite a bit of research on daily costs to travel in Japan and Australia. It seems that Australia consistently is shown to be significantly more expensive. This is counter to what my ignorant opinion has always been. Can anyone with travel experience in both countries feel...

    The Refusal to build roundabouts/rotaries in the US

    Why do we resist building roundabouts in the US? In my experience they are better at reducing congestion, are more fun to ride through, safer and reduce travel times. Everytime I get stuck in traffic and watch the ridiculous square intersection alternating light dance, I think, this would be...
