    GET A HELMET CAM! Seriously do it. Like now. Rear ended.... again.

    So Saturday was fun.... Driving down the freeway in the left most regular travel lane 3pm full sunlight. Accident in the HOV lane (cones, 3 troopers, lots of flashing lights etc). I slow to allow a 2-3 car gap for the person in front of me in the HOV to slide over. They do, but then they...

    Well I did a thing and crossed over to the dark side. New bike day is best bike day!

    Went to start the S10 this afternoon , massive timing chain noises. Then crank no start several error codes. Traveling full time I can't be locked down to one spot for months waiting on repairs. Soonest the Yamaha dealer can get me in is THREE MONTHS from now. "Can't" be without a bike that...

    Buffalo sooooo many buffalo. Wind Cane National park is terrific. If ever in Rapid City worth the detour.

    Did a amazing loop on the S10 today. From the 79 out of Rapid City. Turn right on 16 (Lame Johnny Road is how it is marked) Gravel 35 mph ish graded and nice curves. That sneaks you into Custer State Park without paying... (Opps didn't know that). Turn Left on Csp Rd 1 for just a short...

    3!!! Three S10's at Devils Tower 8-20-22

    Spotted 3 S10's around the Tower yesterday a Yellow, Blue and sand color. All alone or with other groups, not together. If you saw the idiot in the F150 with the dog out the window and big toy hauler waving at you... it was me! BTW I thought this would be a quick check it off the list type...

    Lost my second Ram cup holder. Is there a better solution?

    Lost my second ram cup holder. Granted in 80,000 miles not too upset about it. Failure point has been the same the swivel of the cup section plastic just gets worn away. Is there a better solution cup holder that will hold a 1 liter bottle?

    Any train, plane or nuke buffs around? Went to EBR 1 today.

    EBR 1 ("first" nuke power plant to generate electricity) in the Idaho National Laboratories has an interesting museum. These are the outdoor exhibits. Nuclear powered jet planes. The first image is the two rigs they built to test the engine prototypes. They never built the plane, but they...

    Code 14 on dash. Crank no start.

    Go to start the bike tonight, long crank, slight backfire, further long crank tried WOT, still nothing. Looked at the dash and it has 14 instead of mileage. Went into diag mode, shows 14 d:01 Searching that code leads me to inlet pressure sensor. Its plugged in. Not sure what the d:01...

    TPMS head unit battery install

    If you have one of these $50 amazon TPMS units, replacement batteries for the head unit are not available. My head unit battery "done blew up" because lithium batteries just LOVE the heat. Went searching for a replacement and struck out on finding the correct one with the connector type...

    Caught my second DUI driver of the year!

    Wrong side of the road hits the median a few times.... Nothing too dramatic, but thought I'd share. Police and I had a good chuckle about the way he did the walk and turn test. @Sierra1 we dubbed it "The spring walk" Hard to see in the second video but he was bending the HECK out of his...

    Upgraded the GoPro to a Hero 9

    Decided to upgrade to a modern camera. Still messing with the settings to get it right for night helmet camera options. But here is a a video messing around. Easily the prettiest two blocks in Vegas. The Plaza has always been my favorite frontage in town But the Circa takes that block to a...

    Mobil 1 108a question

    Am I going crazy? Wait don't answer that.... I would have sworn that the 108a came with a vacuwrap seal over the screw on part to prevent dust etc when its sitting on the shelf. I think every oil filter I have bought in the past 5 years has had one on it. Do they come with that thin plastic...

    Costco rolling out self fill air stations

    Just a heads up might want to check the local Costco. They have free air (well nitrogen actually) filling stations now. Probably rolling out across the states. Locking chuck, you set the pressure digitally on the head unit and it stops right on the number. So convenient I won't bother to...

    Engine Oil warning light came on.

    Weird situation this morning on my way to work. Oil light kicked on for about a mile or so. Air temp was around 45F. I let the bike warm up to 160F before riding. After doing a typical freeway entrance ramp hill climb, medium acceleration was at 80ish mph at top of the ramp. After popping...

    Bike Cover recommendation

    Going to be doing a bunch of camping this winter. Would like something to cover the bike when parked outside. Anyone have a recommended brand? Pack down size is not an issue.

    ATwin assembly line video.

    Don't think I've ever seen a motorcycle assembly line video. Kind of interesting to see how a modern Japanese assembly line operates.

    New bike day is best bike day!

    Guy I used to work with needed quick cash. I need another motorcycle like a hole in the head, but ST1300 for pennies on the dollar is hard to turn away. Will hold it a month for him, but don't think he will come up with the cash to buy it back.

    So I got rear ended on my way to work stopped at a light. Video.

    I'm mostly okay, banged up my wrist, not broken, but probably twisted and hyper extended it. Other driver Ahole was DUI. No insurance, no drivers lic....... "hey man I can just give you cash to fix it" No you can't you can go to jail. So while Ill probably have to pay out of pocket to fix...
