Never underestimate the resourcefulness of fools! Future Darwin Award recipient. Ichiban Moto DIY Ultrasonic Cleaner- well... "ultrasonic-ish" vibrating cleaner for parts. :o Happy Thanksgiving!

Anyone have personal experience with the new (2013-2014) KTM 350EXC-F? The same thing in 500cc: 500EXC. Reliability, demanding maintenance, fuel mileage, range, durability, etc. Looking for a new ride, but not interested in it owning me. I did the Euro demanding mistress bike thing years ago...

There is an independent project going on between a few of us, not affiliated with any other concurrent projects, to resolve the clutch basket induced vibration issue. I should be able to give a good test and a report back by early next week at the latest. My particular bike and my increasing...

Everyone has coworkers. This guy is one of mine. I've known him for years, he's one of the most squared away guys I've ever met. I think he does this stuff to maintain a sense of humility. This is one in a long series of calamities. Now he's good for another three years. ---------- Forwarded...

Martin Motorsports in Boyertown PA is hosting their annual bike show this Saturday. The last few have been excellent. Worth the trip. This year the feature is race bikes. This is not a show where anybody brings anything. It is by a submission and selection process, so the fare is better than...

Sometimes, just like a woman's classic little black dress, less is really more. I'd like one of these. I had its bigger brother years ago...

Not really new, but I'm sure it will rearrange how we have to deal with some of the more troublesome spots on the planet. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887324073504578115152144093088.html?mod=WSJ_GoogleNews&mod=igoogle_wsj_gadgv1 The other half...

I didn't see it on this site somewhere else, so here it is: http://scranton.craigslist.org/mcy/3173399627.html I have no idea whose it is, but it looks to be a fair price considering the goodies. I'm not in need of another but someone here may be interested. For the fence sitters near PA...

While waiting, who should show up? None other than Venture! Excellent side trip, and great day for it. http://s1178.photobucket.com/albums/x372/Yamaguy55/Tenere%20and%20friends%20go%20for%20a%20river%20ride/

Martin Motorsports in Boyertown PA is having their second classic bike show soon, in the beginning of March. Details here: http://www.martinmoto.com/default.asp?page=modern-classics-home I went last year (the first one) and it was quite good. Like old home week seeing the bikes I grew up...

I'm tentatively planning a woods ride on the 27th over in Bald Eagle. Meet at the parking lot on PA235 at the top of the mountain. I'll be using the WR, MrT is hibernating for the winter. All welcome, we can adjust the ride depending upon who shows up on what. If any of you have 250s, all the...

Wife and I are on a getaway for our anniversary (33rd) and the route we took today is an ideal Tenere Trip. (can I trademark that term?) We took PA 120 north out of Lock Haven, up to Emporium. Then up to Bradford, home of Case knives, Zippo lighters, and origin of Holley Carburators. Really nice...

This is a repackage of an e-mail I sent to some riding chums. Everyone either chickened out (you know who you are) or was busy this weekend, and since it stopped raining and the wind died down from 35-45 MPH on Saturday, I took the Tenere out yesterday to my favorite riding area over in the the...

Assuming no rain, I'm considering a ride up this way the 27th. Inputs welcome.

As of right now, I have 346 miles on it, and am averaging 46.5 MPG, although the dash says 46.8. Not bad for the riding I've done so far. I plan to go out agin, so another 25-30 tonight. It sure is a great bike, and not just because I waited so long or paid what I paid: it really is a great...

I travel a lot by car for my job. I tend to take country roads, as I hate heavy traffic, and enjoy the drive much more. One of my areas is State College, PA, (yes, it is the name of the town: it is the support town for Penn State) and I drive a series of back roads to and from where I go for my...

2004 FZ6 for sale (sadly, can't keep them all). Traded, no takers. :(

Since the bike wasn't here anyway, I haven't stocked up on goodies. Now that delivery is approaching, I'd like to get the needed items. First up: Skid plate. My use for this bike will not likely be super technical off road stuff, mostly two track and short hops onto single track. That said, I so...

Yesterday was the first in a while were it wasn't raining, thinking abut raining, or raining. I decided to see how things were, as the morning had many roads closed due to flooding, houses pumping their basements, and similar. The creek right down the road from our house had overflowed the...

Since I missed the local one :'(, I was looking for another. Here's what I found this morning, right on Yamaha's website: http://www.yamaha-motor.com/sport/mcy/demo.aspx hope this helps....
