    Rotobox Carbon Fibre Wheels

    If one will be using these on-track keep in mind that, due to the increased volume of air in the wheel, the cold-to-hot pressure fluctuation will very likely be greater with these than with either standard aluminum or BST wheels.

    I dunno, that knitted hat you're wearing doesn't look like much protection. ;)

    battery charge question

    I've got bikes with standard lead acid batteries, AGM batterries, and one with a new lithium ferrous (dry) battery. All are on Battery Tender Jr. when they aren't being ridden. Battery life is typically 5-6 years before I notice a drop-off in performance at which point I replace them before...

    Favourite guitar solo

    That was Eric Clapton. As far as best solos are concerned I'd nominate Clapton doing Robert Johnson's "Crossroads" and Jimi Hendrix "Little Wing". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bz85o1paFMQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hwnb8AB2kc&feature=related

    battery fluid

    Really? Seems like a lot of trouble to go through - especially if one has a freezer made in the last 20 years. i.e. frostless. Perhaps you could go to the Air Canada Centre and ask for the shavings out of the Zamboni. :D

    Rotobox Carbon Fibre Wheels

    BST wheels are TUV approved. This is the German equivalent of CSA or US DOT. These wheels have been on the market for years. I have never heard of one failing where a standard aluminum wheel would not have failed. i.e. hitting a curb while making an off-road excursion. Carbon wheels were banned...

    First oil change disaster!

    Well, I guess its just one of those things that happen from time-to-time. My guesstimate to remove is perhaps 1/2 an hour of time muliplied by whatever the going shop rate is where you take it.

    Different tires on a SS?

    Hoo boy, you'll be seeing more opinions than Carter has pills. My opinion is....go ahead and use a PR2 or 3. When the front one wears out, replace with one that matches the rear. OR Why not just get another PP 2CT?

    Garage insulation and heating please give me some advice

    Do not forget to insulate the garage door. I used styrofoam sheet insulation on the door and under drywall on the walls. I also installed interlocking rubber tiles on my floor to mitigate the cold. It makes it much more comfortable if you're sitting down or on your knees working on your bike. My...

    First oil change disaster!

    "Now that its stripped you'll need a new bolt anyway and its a dealer item. You can put the old oil back in and ride it to the dealer and get it fixed, if you do this be sure you have no leaks around the filter from your attempts to get it off." The above is the best advice I've seen posted...

    steering dampers question

    If one is ordering parts from the US, it is important to have the parts described on the customs declaration as "Motorcycle Parts". If the parts are made in the USA, then you want that noted as well. Thanks to NAFTA, motorcycle parts made in the USA are duty free. That is the extent of the legal...

    John Hopkins' new nickname: The Shocker
