That's just nuts. I guess drivers are not looking for small things nor big things.

Seems to be everywhere. Just the other day in Oakland, after midnight, two cars got in a fender bender in the fast lane. They stopped in the lane. They got out and started arguing with each other standing in the lane next to their cars. A mini came onto the scene and noticed the stopped cars...

That is soooo messed up!!!

I did. Considering that I got extremely lucky and am able to do almost everything I was before, the money helps. But had I had any worse long term damage, let's say a missing hand, it would not have been enough. I got the max I could, and that would not be enough, especially if I was no...

That is what I think happened. I think the driver was trying to preserve his momentum and shoot the gap. He also had traffic behind him and probably did not want to stop and get rear ended on a 60mph two lane highway. Those thoughts were actually in my head as it was happening. But I still...

Your shoulder passing comment triggered me. My FIRST day riding again, I was commuting home from work, and I was in the fast lane, and all of a sudden there was a pickup truck I did not see in my scan passing me on my left in the shoulder. Had I just decided to switch positions in my lane, I...

I was reading up on why motorcycles are not seen... car drivers don't expect them, they expect cars. I saw some good explanations of that. I also read that motion can make you be seen. So I did everything I possibly could to my bike to try to be seen. I have the high vis helmet and airbag...

Wow, thanks for sharing! Your experience sounds horrific, and not comforting at all, that the driver did not see your 40 ton truck!! I had a horrible minivan accident with my mom, 2 kids and one of their friends in the van. The car in front of me just all of a sudden for no reason went left...

I posted this on Facebook a couple days ago, and thought I might as well share here. 9/4/2020 a car turned in front of me and I was not able to avoid it, and hit it head on at 60 mph, entirely the driver’s fault. This is my story. I had just finished a fabulous solo 5 day motorcycle ride on...

These are more expensive than Deftoners, but another option. I didn't find the link to his until after I had designed my own. They can be purchased from Shapeways for $30 each. I may look into having them molded to reduce the cost. to buy, click below link Purchase Extended Caps

Here are the Novsight light dimensions: here are my cap dimensions: Which makes me think this cap would work with the Novsight lamps.

Ha. You caught that I am stubborn! That can be a good character trait depending on context:) I wish I had found the Novsight bulbs when I first did my search. Not sure of the performance difference but I bet they are both nice and the Novsight is a lot cheaper. My caps are stretched at the...

I had my stock bulb burn out, and wanted to replace them with LED lights. I ordered these: H7 LED Headlight Conversion Kit Supposedly these are directly compatible. However, I ran into a lot of issues. The connector is too fat to fit in the housing all the way, the electronics that come...

That is friggin awesome. More luggage capacity than many cars!

yes, that can be my backup plan if I lose my engineering job:)

Last night I mounted the vibration dampening mounts. No vibration any more at all the speeds I had problems with! Yippee! I can have my box and use it too.

I just picked up the bike from the shop today. Today on my ride I reached back at speed and tried holding the box various ways. I could feel it vibrating and I could make it go away by pushing up hard on the box from the bottom, using the side seat handles to resist against. I've ordered 4...

If they can get away with this on a motorcycle, I should be able to have my 16 x 16 x 16 box.

I think the windscreen really protects it even at speed. I wouldn't stake my life on it, but then again once I get to 105mph it's fine again.

Just because it is a big box, doesn't mean it is weighted incorrectly. Would you have the same opinion if the box weighs 8 lbs and is empty? The vibration is always happening when the box is empty. I only fill it with a motorcycle jacket once I get to work. And I have a fairing, so I don't...
