    What do you guys think of this rumored BMW?

    The huge recall was on the R1200RT's and it was so bad it was a NHTSA "Stop ride" order. The entire rear of the bike could collapse due to the rear shock coming apart. The dealer near me couldn't sell any RT's for 6 months. Sam:)

    Went to a Harley shop

    I had a new 2010 Scrambler. It was a nice bike but not exciting because of it's lack of serious horsepower. It was okay up to about 80 mph but struggled after that to get to 100 mph. It would need some real front and rear forks/ shocks, lower dirt gearing (Drop a tooth on the countershaft...

    What do you guys think of this rumored BMW?

    That thing looks to radical for the Conservative BMW crowd. If I was Honda, I'd file a patent infringement against BMW. Sam:)

    R3r Foot peg lowering brackets?

    Besides being able to be moved forward and backward on the frame rails, the entire arm and peg assembly can rotate 360 degrees. The assembly is heavy and rugged and the chrome is beautiful. I got mine on Amazon but there are lots of other sources. Sam:)

    Mirror adjustment

    This is so weird!!!!! I have been fighting my left mirror for weeks, constantly having to readjust it. I also tried tightening it and it didn't work. Thanks for the schematic. Sam:)

    Thinking about a T-bird

    The Bonneville is so slow it will feel like a Honda trail 90 after owning an R3. I had a new 2010 Scrambler and it was very nice but oh so slow. Sam:")

    Clutch Question During Break-in

    I understand the quoted idea that Dino oil should not be changed to synthetic until after break in and I have adhered to that, in fact not normally going to a full synthetic like Amsoil, until maybe the 3rd oil change. However, a few bikes and many foreign (Non US) cars are being shipped with...

    Clutch Question During Break-in

    "(different from break in oil I believe) caused the transmission to behave differently." You are correct about the importance of the first oil and filter change. Sam:)

    Clutch Question During Break-in

    The clutch 'free play' issue is very important. My new 2012 had NO FREE PLAY at all and when hot and under a load, during acceleration, the clutch would slip. Assure that the cable itself has play and that the bottom clutch actuator lever fully closes. I had to adjust the bottom cable adjustment...

    R3r Foot peg lowering brackets?

    I'm not lowering the pegs and thanks for the advice. The Highway pegs I bought clamp on the frame rails below the engine and will be adjusted up and won't be a cornering problem. They will be delivered Monday:) Well, I'm on my way this morning to attend a monthly Men's prayer/ breakfast...

    I believe I remember how well respected you are Satan---at least on this website, according to your Legions and principalities that stick up for your grade school behavior. Hide behind your anonymity pseudo tough guy and remain the foul worm you are as the admitted Village idiot of this site...

    R3r Foot peg lowering brackets?

    I have installed riders foot peg lowering brackets on a number of bikes to get more leg comfort and I would like the same thing for my 2012 R3r. Has anyone here used these and if so, who did you order them from? Thanks! Sam

    WTF IF I KNOW WHY

    I find that increasingly, my little comments and jokes accumulated from the past just don't hit home unless a person has some years on them. As far as what Arlo looks like now, don't lots of us have that Methuselah visage?? Can we dispense with the WTF stuff! Are some of you guys like retarded...

    Replace Oil Filter Only Question

    I'm sure in that case the little chrome cover wouldn't have done a bit of good. I like breaded and fried Gator! I'm not worried about K&N as I've used them on everything for years. I would worry about lots of these other $1.99 a six pack oil filters:p Sam:)
