    Might throw in the towel... for now

    Well, the used bike market here is saturated and tough to sell at a decent price but I'll just sit on them and use them until someone will pay closer to what they are worth. Tire kickers and low-ballers only. Lots of inquiries, no physical visits. Anyway, life moves forward at an...

    Effing Photobucket has screwed it's users

    Damn! That sucks! I'm fortunate that I've never used them but for those that did, this is like blackmail to share your photos. Class-Action lawsuit?

    Fork spring replacement.

    Billy, did you already buy springs?

    Fork spring replacement.

    I had the complete write-up with a ton of photos here. All photos were on this site, not linked to any third-party... all the photos are gone! Starting with post #54, I had documented the fork rebuild, tools needed, etc..... *UPDATE* I have Dennis (Admin) on the case to see if it is possible...

    Might throw in the towel... for now

    None that we're aware of but we will be calling them regardless of what the seller said. I don't want to be responsible for breaking any sort of lines, pipes, etc... Waiting on a quote for the first 100' of driveway. But, I may just get it done myself. I have to call TX DOT and see if they...

    Might throw in the towel... for now

    While I may not ride street, we still have two small dirt bikes and I'll be picking up an ATV to haul stuff around and maintain the fence lines. Later, I may pick up a nice dual-sport that I can use on the ranch but also take out on the road. For now, I'm just not into the street bike any...

    Might throw in the towel... for now

    We're waiting to hear back on financing for one just like this. 2017 Mahindra 2538 with the loader, backhoe, 6' shredder and pallet forks, all loaded on a 20' Load Trail car/equipment hauler. 4WD, hydro-static drive, 37.4 HP diesel (no DPF) (31 HP PTO), 1,634 lb lift capacity... We're...

    Might throw in the towel... for now

    If I sold it, I'd sell as-is/modded because I doubt I'd by another FZ1 and I don't have all the OEM parts to put it back to stock. Of course, I could sell bits with an OEM trade included... Those bits would be the Ivan's flashed ECU (with PCV and map) and the Penske 8983 shock. The rest of...

    LOL! We're not in that alley. Too far south. Lampasas County has had 13 tornadoes since 1951 resulting in zero deaths. Williamson has had 62 with 29 deaths in that same time frame. I moved here from Strafford County, NH. There, the count in the same time frame is 29 tornadoes with one...

    Nope. But, the covenants don't have any governing body to enforce them. These are honor-based. No HOA at all. So, who's to know if we put a tent inside the garage and "accidentally" fell asleep on any given weekend? Honestly, I doubt anyone would say anything about an occasional stay so...

    Might throw in the towel... for now

    John is right... the bikes aren't worth a ton of money and I'd have to pay more to replace one unless I buy used later. I think I'm going to get the driveway in, get the big new Busted Knuckle Garage erected and move all my workshop and the bikes up there. So, the garage will be the priority...

    Might throw in the towel... for now

    I thought that moving to Texas would afford me more riding time. I thought the weather change from NH would entice me to be out on the bike more. I thought, since I'd bought a brand-new home, I'd have nothing but time on my hands with no projects to do. I was wrong in so many ways... on too...

    I suck at Wheelies but.......

    With the Ivan flash, mine will also rise in 1st and second without clutching. Cross plane has a lot more available torque than our inline 4. I'd love to have one but..... I am considering getting rid of the 2013 FZ1. I've found that I just don't have a lot of time to ride anymore. Should...

    Nicky in bad shape

    I've been through every setting in the Admin panel and cannot find where to change it but yes, it is broken. I'll notify Dennis. Thanks!

    Nicky in bad shape

    Sorry folks, I wish I could say this is fake but the new is here: Nicky Hayden has died | MCN Several sources are all reporting this announcement now. Sad day... RIP Nicky.

    Nicky in bad shape

    The UK live feed posted this not long ago: 20.00: The Maurizio Bufalini Hospital in Cesena (Italy), where Nicky Hayden is currently in intensive care, released the following statement at 19.45 local time (GMT+2): “The clinical picture of Nicky Hayden remains unchanged. His condition is still...

    Nicky in bad shape

    That's a hard hit on a bike to break a carbon fiber frame in half. Hope he makes it... still critical.

    Yamaha soft saddle bags (sw mototech blaze)

    Use the clear vinyl. ;) Trust me.

    Lower fairing kit - do or don't do?

    I have the plastics (in Mystic Purple Mica) but zero hardware. ;) Shipping is a bear... they are large and awkward so they require a big box to ship them. We all know what that does to the shipping cost.

    What are you listening to right now?

    All of these shows have their quirks as well as being over-produced (There is NO WAY Overhaulin does what they do in two weeks.... EVER). But, most of them, I'd take a car from or take a car too because I know it would be done correctly. Dan is certainly annoying but when you get a car from...
