    Crash Guard saves the day!!!

    I've had mine blown over once here is KS. Wasn't a twister, but 70mph straight winds. Was parked on a flat level surface. Happened about a week after I installed crash bars and I was glad to have them.

    Helmets

    I'm using a Nolan N90 with their bluetooth and it works well. I only use it for a bit of music though, not for communications so I'm not sure how well that part of it works. I didn't install the mic in the helmet. I was going to order the Nolan N104, but luckily got a chance to try them on...

    2014 Honda Valkryie

    I actually like it, but then again I came to the R3 from a Suzuki Boulevard which shares some similar lines. Once in awhile, in those dark quiet moments, I have the odd thought that maybe I don't really need 2300CC.

    Crash

    Sorry to hear, hope you make a good recovery. The link in the original post doesn't seem to get me anywhere, is there an updated one?

    side wall bulge

    I had this problem with my Firestone Firehawk Wide Oval Indy 500 after about 3000 miles. I'm assuming it was a problem with the mounting. Considering how much the shop argued against putting that tire on in the first place I just bit the bullet and got another tire and had it installed by...

    Rocket Sightings

    I saw one in KC, KS at a fast food place several years (2008 maybe). It was matte black, dusty, and looked like something from a Mad Max movie. I thought it was pretty **** impressive but didn't get one until a couple of years later when I finally got enough life insurance that my wife decided...

    RDU Jacket Patch

    I get that, and appreciate it. My reply was the same, though as we've learned over and over, that doesn't always translate well on an internet forum. :bch: Cheers all, now lets quit this silliness and go ride.

    Brown leather jackets

    I have basically the same jacket without the embossing: Xelement Men's Retro Brown Premium Speedster Motorcycle Jackets with Zip Out Lining The sizes seem to run pretty small, but other than that I've been happy with it. Nice and heavy, has saved my hide a couple of times.

    RDU Jacket Patch

    As to being a dickhead, I don't really think so, but then again, a statement like I made to start this all off does kind of fall in that category, so I guess I will own up to the label in this case. I'm not the one that suggested the pink nighty, so make who and what of that what you will.:D

    RDU Jacket Patch

    You are right, I don't make a point of going up to people in person and calling them scumbags, I may be a dickhead, but not particularly suicidal. To be fair, when I did have a scumbag telling me once that I shouldn't be wearing a patch on my jacket witch certain colors I did tell him to leave...

    RDU Jacket Patch

    Nope, not offended. I wouldn't say things like that if I had too thin of skin. And yes, over generalization is bad, so I'm sorry I went down that road. As I said in the later part of my post, I don't have a problem with patches and clubs. I do however stand by my original sentiment. Same...

    RDU Jacket Patch

    I wouldn't wear a back patch because I don't want to be mistaken for a 1% dirtbag. It amazes me that a bunch of folks decide to show their rebellious individual spirit by making a bunch of rules and then demanding everybody else respect and follow them. I'm sure some of them are fine folks...

    Hi from Kansas City

    I pretty much use Engle. They've been mostly good to work with. I had some frustration with them early on when my bike didn't want to start when it was 60 or below and they didn't seem to take the situation seriously. But after some good long discussions with the manager there they took care...

    Hi from Kansas City

    I'm in Kansas City, KS, so somewhere close by. I'm a Suzuki fan, but I'd have a hard time going back after riding the Rocket.
