    Reducing helmet noise...

    I beg to differ on this. I Bought the mix it your self kit year before last. Followed the instructions and it worked great for the first half of the summer. Then one ear stopped fitting right and thus allowed the wind noise. Was worse last spring. Also my kit ones started showing dirt very...

    Reducing helmet noise...

    This season I splurged and went for the molded one's and really like them. I found the disposable one's actually reduce wind noise a little bit more but I have been having problems with them coming out while riding. I have used disposable for years when sleeping for night shift and have the...

But check a map for exact details as I haven't been there since...

    Motorcycle Speedo" never right!

    I added a SIGMA pedal bike to my motorcyle for more accuracy as mine was way off... old gear drive from front wheel. Zipped tied the sensor to my fork, couple of earth magnets to the brake rotor and used my GPS to fine tune the settings to be as acurate as I can be. Only problem is I can't see...

    Parking rules around St Mike's hospital

    Wife is going in next week for surgery and will be there for about 5 days. Not a big fan of paying $20 parking for the day and more if I stay past 6. Haven't been downtown on the bike for some years but from what I have read, motocycle parking is still free on the street (where allowed). Is...

    Enclosed "race" trailer build

    I'll be charging the battery through the week on a charger and then mount it in the trailer before I head for the track. I was originally going to charge it off the truck while I pulled the trailer, but I've done enough reading and come to the conclusion that after a weekend of running from the...
