I think there's usually plenty enough time to stick your hands in your pockets in the event of an imminent crash (if you're not already riding with no hands). Anyways, ugly-scarred hands or digit loss is a great conversation starter.

Down to $60, not likely gonna be offering any further drops in price..

Lucky it hit so low on the chassis. If he had a direct hit to the head/torso, he'd be in a far different position. Also, happened to be no oncoming traffic at the time of strike where he was forced over the centreline..fate was with him.

Motorcycles wait in the line like cars, but anytime I've seen bicyclists (or bicycled over myself) and the line was long, I've proceeded (and seen others do it too) straight to the booth and waited a few cars back from the inspection station. Never had the attendant tell me to go to the back...

Now at $65...jump on this amazing price before I regain my good sense..:shaking:

Generally, if they're tight putting them on with your fingers extended straight out, while riding, with your fist/hand balled up, they'll get even tighter. You don't want the fitment of the gloves taking your attention away from riding. If you're constantly aware/reminded of the tight feel...

Being along the coast, it can definitely be foggy at times, esp. early mornings. Can't much comment on the Wash & Oregon sections as I've never been there. Some of the sections are semi-remote (gas stops can be spaced apart widely, testing some motorcycle's fuel range), but you may have that...

It's actually a bridge/tunnel/causeway. Toll is $12 to cross! Although, you'll definitely exceed that much in gas and road tolls detouring around the Chesapeake Bay and thru DC (150km detour loop). I'd be interested if you could keep all you receipts and report back at the end on what you paid...

Pictures finally up..

Still having problems with the photos, sorry folks. First time the image was too large, now I'm getting a refusal due to invalid file... I can e-mail them to you if you may be interested. Hopefully, at some point, I can get the pics up on here. Price is at $70 now...

I think keeping the focus on WV and not PA or NY is going to result in the best trip experience. You'll be sidetracking all over the place (on slower secondaries) by the sounds of things and creating too long a day on your 'out' day. On the second and third day you'll pay by being over-tired in...

Seems fairly obvious that a lot can go wrong on a semi-long trip like this. Be it a flat tire, engine failure, electrical and many other problems not easily solved at the roadside. You can crash and have to catch a cab or bus back. You can often times be in remote locations where a nearby...

Teknic Speedstar black leather motorcycle gloves. Plastic protective armouring in all key impact areas (knuckles, wrist). Excellent level of protection. Some slight scuffing, no holes though. Great for either track or street use. Price is $75. Pick-up is in Niagara Falls. Will not ship, pick-up...

Nope, it wasn't up at the ball or even near the shoulder joint itself, it was midway up the shaft of the bone. Just about exactly halfway between elbow and shoulder (that bonier part of the arm where there ain't much muscle tissue between the skin and the actual bone). Who really knows what it...

Have you ever visited the pumps?? Usual set up.......LOW(87)........MID(89).......HIGH(91)...SUPER or SUPREME (93) 87 is the lowest you'll find..

I had this issue after a bicycle accident. Not sure what my exact reasoning was, but I did nothing about it. No x-ray, no ER, nothing. It may have been a chipped bone, a fracture, who knows (but definitely an issue that was having a serious effect on mobility/strength, even quality of sleep due...

Wipes to clean your visor, balaclava for the neck, a tarp or poncho to cover your bike (or at very least to protect the seat) during overnight rains. Helps so much to have a dry seat to start off a long day of touring vs. starting from scratch with a damp ***. Also, some prior research into...

Weather forecast I've heard indicates heavy wind advisory and rain all wknd. Seems like a recipe for mostly bare trees and slick, leaf-covered roads. If you haven't already gotten your foliage photos, you might miss out on it..

Looks like an early-'90's model to me, but owner will probably chime in with the particulars.
