Love that bike!

My grandads house had metal but it was on pine strips across the rafters with no insulation. When it rained at his house the metal really rattled. You almost couldn't even talk in the house. Mine is screwed right to the roof decking and the house is insulated and yes you can hear a heavy rain...

Yea they must have been through tractor tipping! I have not thought of that since I took my kids to see that movie!

It only took me 11 years but i stumbled across a average fuel milage indicator! I have seen the instant fuel mileage before. I never take it off the water temp but for some reason i pushed that button on the way home and got it on the instant fuel mileage. I must have held it a second longer and...

Yes those are the arrows. They just look backwards to me

Yea i thought the same thing! Haha

I hope you have some help on the roof! I tore off shingles replaced some decking and put metal on my house a couple years ago by myself. I found out im not as young as i used to be! Go figure? Haha

Thoughts and prayers are with the people there.

this may not be weird or i never think of it as weird because it is near where i live and i ride by a lot. Today i was thinking about those caddies on 66 down in texas so i thought i would stop get a picture and share this.

I really didn't know what thread to ask this question but here it is. I have traveled only in the US and Canada. I have been watching bike reviews from Europe and noticed strange to me markings on the roads. I was very curious as to what they mean and are used for. First things is the zig zag...

I absolutely agree with this concept. when i have the time that is the only way to travel for me. Without a doubt that is when i have the most fun traveling. I usually wind up rushing at some point in my travels because of time limitations. I am rushed every day at work then at home, so when i...

I like the way you raised the footer above the floor level. Wish i had done my little shop like that. Makes it nice for hosing out when things get messy. It would have taken a jackhammer and dynamite to dig a footer that deep on my hill. Way too many rocks here! haha. very nice job!

I have never owned a KLR so I can't really say the DR is better. When I was looking at dual sports I was really thinking about the 400 Suzuki. I knew i was going to have it in some situations that having all the extra weight and body work of a KLR was not an advantage. The DR is really too heavy...

I really wanted one of those FZ1 when they came out. I always found myself in places i really should not have a full on street bike. I never had too much issues getting them places but the super t made it so much easier. Just bang through things and not worry too much about blowing fairings and...

One thing i have noticed over the last 30 years. I look at parts costs for a perticular bike before i buy it. I note the prices. As the years accumulate the parts costs rise. Yes there is inflation to concider but the thing i really noticed was as soon as a bike is discontiued those prices...
