    Pennsylvania in the Spring

    That area must be a bear hot spot, because I also had a black bear cross the road in front of me at 120/555 last year.

    Economical Source for Starter on 99 Bandit 1200?

    After replacing the starter, I realized that it was not the problem. I removed the left engine case and found that the crank bolt was totally loose. The starter was turning but not contacting the gear mechanism because it was off-line. Thanks again to every body for their help.

    please dont go to clares cycle in font hill

    This thread reminds me why it's so important to learn to do as much of your own service as possible. You will save money, and if there is a problem with the work you have no one to blame but yourself.

    The sport bike community has created an environment where "Chicken Strips" are a badge of dishonor. Consequently many young riders are pushing it more than they should and paying with their skin and some times their lives. Slow down, enjoy your self. Live to ride another day and grow to ripe a...

    West Virginia?

    Watched "The Hatfields and McCoys" on History channel yesterday. This story unfolds on the West Virginia, Kentucky border. Having been to the area I admired the beautiful scenery in the movie. Then I found out the movie was shot in Brasov Romania. Filming in Canada isn't even cheap enough for...

    Finding gear is frustrating

    I've dealt with this U.S place and found them to be great. Just get them to ship it U.S. mail. They're based in Texas. They're now called Motorcycle Gear, but were previously known as Newenough.com. Be sure to check out their Close Out section. They have some smoking deals there...

    Sidewind Saddle Bags from CT

    I've had a set of these bags for two years. They fade to a brownish grey after the first year and they are not really waterproof. I pack my stuff in plastic bags. They also do not have head shields under them, so be sure they clear your exhaust. In short they're not the best, but a good product...

    First 30 Days Most Dangerous

    I am one of those who have only had one low speed low side in many years of riding. You my friend are a true rider. You were involved in a serious accident through no fault of your own. You suffered with your body, yet you continue to ride. You passed the test. You are a hardcore rider. Many of...

    Slippery Seat

    My current Corbin seat was slippery as hell whenever I accelerated. I had it recovered with an extra layer of softer foam on top and the problem went away.

    Who has the best selection of metric bolts???

    I agree. I needed a metric stainless bolt for my fender recently. I found an American on-line source for under a dollar. However, the shipping was $12.00 I ended up buying it at a local Suzuki dealer for $4.50, and they had it in stock.
