    Bike too hot to ride

    The temp gauge will go up as high as around 216 before it starts cooling off when sitting in traffic on hot days, but I've never heard of anyone complaining of unbearable heat on their legs from the engine. That's a new one.

    Bike fell over?? 1st time

    I had mine fall over in the driveway while I was locking the front door. It was facing SLIGHTLY downhill and it was running. I guess it just walked off the kickstand.

    Psychobilly show in Jax!

    My buddy is riding up here to Jax on the 1st for a Nekromantix show on the 2nd. He'll be on a new CB1100. Anyone down to ride out? I have a place to meet up and drink coffee before the show. PM me. Rain or shine, I'm riding! (unless it's raining and below 45*F). The show is $15 at Jackrabbits.

    What Oil you using

    What ever the stealership puts in it. The techs there seem to know what the hell they're doing. I defer to them (specifically my tech) for bike wisdom.

    Shad Seat Installed Pics and Review

    When I ordered it, I got it in 4 days. The turn-around was commendable. I don't use the back seat anymore, (the girly doesn't care about the moto) but the front seat is much grippier and more comfortable. And, the looks are fantastic.

    What Tires are these ???

    The risks we take.... That guy was good. Did it sound like the engine started misfiring after riding through that? Or was that just because it was a twin. Either way: scary. I am impressed that he didn't end up UNDER that puddle.

    Great writeup. It is completely within the realm of possibility that something you said in there will save a life or 2. Age is just a number, but the experience you have attained with that age can not be quantified or appraised.

    FARKING PT LOOSER!!!!!

    Honestly, I worked at the Chrysler dealership down here and that was the most reliable car in the lineup. We never really had to do any major repairs on them unless they were overheated due to loss of coolant (usually a leaking radiator). I hate them, but they do last, if properly maintained.

    New state on the Color Map

    I just added South Carolina to the map in my avatar. I travel a lot for my job and it was a beautiful day on Thursday in the Southeast, so I decided to ride instead of drive that day. Got to ride from Jacksonville to Beaufort to Bluffton to Savannah back to J-Action-Ville. Good times. Next...

    FARKING PT LOOSER!!!!!

    Hit the starter again while you're trying to start it. If it starts, it's the starter again. What is happening is that the solenoid is working, but the motor brushes are inbetween contacts and when you hit it it jars the brushes enough to make contact. The thing about trying to start it with...

    Traffic Light Triggers??

    Some places are even worse. There is a light in Green Cove Springs, FL that has a red light camera and someone got caught on it running a red. He swore up and down that they cut the yellow light short. So, the local news station went out and filmed the light cycle and watched every so often...
