    "OFFICIAL" 1st Annual Southern Utah Tenere Rally 2016

    I probably won't make it. Still haven't decided whether to fly out and steal Luke's Vstrom and come up for a night. Anyway, here's the link you want to look at for info about Toroweap. I wouldn't recommend going out there solo on a moto but Luke will tell you I'm a worrier. (That's what I get...

    Stupid Crappy OEM side case locks

    Tomatocity, Does this lock picking technique work when there is no lock core in the hole? Thanks.

    Stupid Crappy OEM side case locks

    Tomatocity, to whom are you referring about haters and incomplete info? Me? WTFO? Okay, I've had three different arms up into the case trying to push the plastic latch (hook) sideways. It isn't moving. When I push the hook on the opened left case it moves without much trouble. I'm getting...

    Stupid Crappy OEM side case locks

    Fredz43, the screws in the picture are NOT the ones needing locktite. There are itty bittty torx security screws that hold the lock core into the bag. Under a rubber cover. Not pictured here since my entire core fell out...

    Stupid Crappy OEM side case locks

    So. I looked into the hole on the right side case and saw nothing that would catch a screwdriver. Put my finger in and the metal part pushed into the case. Clunk. Unscrewed 8 screws on the bottom and realized the front, left corner is held in position by the attachment bracket. There was...

    Stupid Crappy OEM side case locks

    Thanks for the offer Mark B! You can come drink my bourbon any time! I think I read somewhere that you could stick a screwdriver in the hole left by the lock core and move the locking hook over to get within. Hearing from all the folks who have had good luck makes me smile. I never once...

    Stupid Crappy OEM side case locks

    Okay, this is my second time down this road. Last time it happened, I locktited and lubed everything. Somehow the blue locktite on the right side case didn't hold the lock together. So last night I tried to remove the key from the lock and the entire core came out. No matter what Dallara...

    Spring/Shock HELP...

    Snakebitten, first of all, the F15 is the most svelte and maneuverable jet in the history of mankind and doesn't have all the FAT hanging off like Lukes ST. Second of all, FAT trimming would be in order for Luke!!! Some body besides his little brother needs to tell him that has bike isn't his...

    Personal Freedoms vs. Texting While Driving

    What if you could train people to text and drive? Really TRAIN them to crosscheck their phone, car, and surroundings in such a way that texting is no big deal? It CAN be done.

    On Any Sunday - The Next Chapter

    I just got home from seeing it after having my free Vets Day dinner at Smokey Joes. I think it is a good movie to see on the big screen because of the cinematography (thank you GoPro)! You feel like you are really riding in some of the scenes! We were two of five total in a big theater...
