    low cost tank bag

    I was looking for a tank bag for my `17 ST. Nothing huge just big enough to hold my phone, wallet, a small camera and a few odds and ends. I didn't want anything that used straps and i couldn't justify spending a couple of hundred bucks for one with a tank ring mounting system. I found this...

    Accessory Bar Vibrations

    I installed a set and went for my first ride this morning. Wow! I didn't realize how much my gps had been vibrating before installing the braces. They should help to extend the life of anything electronic that is mounted on the accessory bar.

    Does Traction control make other changes?

    While doing some street riding yesterday on my Gen 2 I switched my traction control from TC1 to TC2 while riding in Touring mode. It seemed to me that the throttle became more responsive and I detected a different sound from the exhaust. Overall it seemed to be a lot more fun to ride. Has anyone...

    Ear plugs / Sena / hearing loss / ear buds / your thoughts

    Over the years I have tried many types of hearing protection while riding and while some of the disposables give good results I found that it was dependent on how well they were inserted. It was frustrating to start riding and find that one or both were not inserted correctly and end up either...

    Start a moto/atv shop?

    Having been a small business owner (non- motorcycle) I would suggest starting with repairs only. Most dealers will tell you that when times are tough it's the service bays that keep the business afloat and it's the one thing people can't buy on the internet! Start small and let your customers...
