    When To Use Your Rear Brakes- Well, It Depends Doesn't It?

    Opening up for discussion on this topic which I've been exploring more lately, especially as it pertains to riding in the twisties.

    Tire Pressure - Who TF Knows? 🤷🏼‍♂️

    @Kevin frazier and I have been trading info on tire pressure recommendations and, as you'd expect from the motorcycle community, the information from experts is conflicting. Interested to see what others are doing- sticking to the manual, or going your own way. I will say that I have stayed...

    Finding Neutral - the fix

    I was having trouble getting into Neutral. I wondered if it was the change in motor oil brands, no, or if I had actually started wearing out the clutch at just under 30K miles.

    The Exception Should Be The Rule

    Just had a very unusual customer service experience. After searching far and wide for some winter gloves (what's with the European fit with everything these days?) that might actually fit, warm, waterproof, and offered excellent protection I went with the BMG Thermosport Motorcycle Gloves. I...

    MC Insurance - Are You Really Fully Covered? (what you may not know)

    Are you insured for bodily injury if hit by an uninsured motorist? I definitely thought I was all these years with Progressive, but when I changed my homeowners and auto insurance to another carrier my new agent informed me that I did not have that coverage with Progressive. I seriously...

    Taking it easy, for once, and on a major, but curvy, highway and hit an oil spot in a turn this morning. Bam! I was sliding down the road before I even knew I was down. Lots of people stopped to help- there are good people in this world! Good thing I was in a left turn and slid off the right...

Many members took their bikes in for service when this happens and sensors were replaced, FOBs replaced, and other "fixes," but what I learned from others...

    Braking in the Corner? Yes or No?
