that I have…..well maybe not. A few of you probably already use it. Anyway, its a product used in the aircraft industry, and is called ACF-50. You can use this stuff anywhere on the bike EXCEPT calipers / brake pads, because it is extremely penetrating, and will probably ruin the pads if you get [...]

Seneca Rocks WV 2010 |
We R&D'd long and hard last year to replace our old camping cookware. We ended up with the GSI Pinnacle Camper set, which is supposed to be a cookware set for 4 people. But, being just Lois and me, and wanting to carry with us more cups, pans and spaces to stuff spices etc, [...] We used an RF-1000 XL. This new RF-1100 is also an XL. The 1100 feels tighter on the cheek pads than the old one. They might have changed the standard pad size, or it just feels that way because it's new. Shoei makes different pad sizes for optimal fit. It also smells good, which [...] We went ahead and invested in a Aerostich Darien jacket and pants a good while back (Lois bought the Darien pants), and as anyone that has purchased a Darien or a Roadcrafter knows, the gear is stiff as cardboard when you first get it, and it looks like, well,,,,"You ain't been nowhere". So founder [...] for a while. It is sitting at Sportcycles in Rockingham, NC for a warranty replacement of final drive ring and pinion, as well as final drive hub bearings and new tires. The bike's rear felt strange coming home from the mountains. Decided to take the rear wheel off. Sure enough, shot bearings in [...]
An extraordinary behind-the-scenes look at the remarkable new technologies being used to avoid motorcycle crashes, and prevent injuries or even death when a racer or rider does go down. Don’t miss it. As we are looking around searching and doing R&D on helmets we discover that Shoei has very recently come out with a new helmet, the RF-1100. This helmet is the successor of the RF-1000, which we both have, and is a very good helmet. Our 1000′s are getting pretty old and smelly though. The [...] The ideal bike for this type of trip should: provide storage capacity for a long weekend, enough wind protection to keep you from getting battered by windblast while bombing down the interstate, and plenty of sporting capability to enjoy the serpentine, circuitous route from greater L.A. to Monterey. Nice video….
Not having a good flashlight when trying to do something in the dark, or when you simply can’t see what you’re doing (because your eyes are getting old) or just need a light at your campsite, is very aggravating. Having had several, from D-cell Mag lights to cheap double AA’s, I finally got tired [...] We have used the Camelbak Slipstream, a 50 oz pack, up until now. However, 50 oz is really not enough water if you are going on a long trip on hot days. So we started looking at a pack with a 100 oz capacity, and decided to buy the Lobo. It [...] |
