    Roadcrafter, 42L, grey/black $400

    Just like it says, this is my Roadcrafter, size 42L (6'-6'1", 34" inseam, 180lb more or less), used but excellent condition. No rips, tears, frays. The proverbial, "ridden gently, never been down". Realistically, this suit has 80%+ service life left, against the current new purchase price of...

    US Navy training program

    I came across this link: http://safetycenter.navy.mil/media/seashore/SmartRide/PDFs/Smart_Ride_Magazine.pdf and thought there's some good stuff in there. Some of the information is random intermingling of cruiser and sport bike stuff, but still solid info. Anyway, this is the program that the...

    archos 405 and helmet cam

    Maybe someone here knows a solution to my problem, but if not maybe this can serve as a warning to others. I got a twenty20 helmet cam and an Archos 405 PVR to capture the audio/video. The 2GB version of the Archos 405 is all solid state, no hard drive to fail. This setup works pretty well...

    Old school racing

    I ran across this link: http://www.jockeyjournal.com/?p=235 on another forum and thought it was a cool glimpse at the earliest days of motorcycle racing. 130mph wearing a leather helmet? Yikes!

    What event interrupted/ended your ride?

    In the vein of being prepared for roadside emergencies, I'm wondering what type of event(s) you've experienced that interrupted or ended your ride. Eg; I had a flat rear tire one time, and a guy I was riding with had a flat front. I don't know if I'm covering everything with the poll choices...

    home theater remote control

    Kind of long and boring, but thought I'd share in case anyone is ever in a similar situation.... We're in Virginia for a one year job so we're not making a "total move", just setting up an apartment here for the duration. But we're spoiled when it comes to tv, etc, so I set out to put together...

    AMA flat track in Las Vegas this weekend

    http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/Article_Page.aspx?ArticleID=5395&Page=1 Nice to see the AMA bring the show back out west. Would be even nicer to see them run at Sacramento or San Jose, or both, again.

    ms office for mac vulnerability

    So there it is: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/productivity_tools/microsoftoffice2004formacupdate.html Not the first, but the most recent. OS X may be quite secure, but keep an eye on what you install.

    5K user email server with webmail

    Does anyone here manage a mail server supporting 5K users with webmail access? I took a job and got in over my head. Fortunately for everyone, it's a management job. I'm now Dilbert's pointy haired boss, so the damage I can do is minimal. The details are involved, but I have to come up with...

    visor fogging, blinded by the sun?

    These are two problems I contend with, commuting and touring, both of which often include cold damp early mornings riding east into the sun. I stumbled across this: http://www.scorpionusa.com/equipment/helmets/convkit.html Dual pane with electric heating element AND flip down sunshade in...

    pop bottle versus 16" gun

    I opened a bottle of Sprite and was amazed at how easily the cap came off, and screwed back on. when I looked at the threads, I saw something I recognized from an earlier life. An adapted Wellin breech block thread: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/16-50_Mark_7 Here's the Sprite bottle...

    Thanks NoGall and NBSR

    Just wanna say "thanks" to NoGall (Tom) and the folks at NBSR. My son was knocked off his bike by a car on his commute to work this morning. NBSR folks tracked down the incident, NoGall PM'd me and on the phone showed great concern and consideration. Although I'd heard from my wife earlier...

    What's the best local weather forecast

    I have access to weather info from around the world, but I haven't found a good source for local weather. Been using www.wunderground.com but I'm not happy with their accuracy (even 24 hours out). Also have tried the Weather Network widget. So does anyone know of a better source for reliable...
