Hayabusa brake upgrade.

I think I'd pay attention to this wise counsel. I've encountered the behavior you describe and found it to be the rack being grossly out of synch. My trusty Carbtune Pro sorted it out. Not saying that's your problem, just that I have seen it firsthand. <<Doh! Never mind. I see your...

Exactly what I was going to say. But, perfect for Arizona! However, I lived in Florida for many years. Sometimes getting caught in the rain cannot be avoided. If you want to ride, you ride. I never concerned myself with a little water, dirt washes off and deep cleaning a bike is therapeutic.

Morley’s mid cut. (Actually just the front section. Middle and rear components are still original. Dang near perfect profile and comfort:

^^^Agreed ^^^Dang straight.

For now, maybe. But, recognizing that at the end of the day all that would be needed is serious, talented machine work, at some point repair will be needed, rather than just abandoning cases. (Although perhaps not cost-effective today, I suspect you already have the resources to make it...

Too bad we didn't get the lock I suggested. Saw this one coming. Once again, Parmesan has injected his political slant into the discussion. As I recall, he got booted for that not too long ago: Post #11781 of the "What did you do to your VMAX today? Part 2" thread: (in response to eerily...

I need to get me one of those ‘busa seat covers.

I vote for a lock.

A certain Medic of Fire has lit a fire under my arse, and I’m poking at this thing half heartedly. Still have a nagging intermittent electrical problem, either in the harness or the computer box. I did a lot of hacking when I pulled all the bells and whistle’s off of it. I may very well have...

I refuse to wear a pirate costume and trailer my motorcycle to Sturgis.

Looks familiar!

Oh boy was I a Talking HeadsFan. I love it. Thanks for the link. I saw them once in Billerica Massachusetts at a small venue. Apparently, the facility didn’t have enough juice to power their equipment, so they had an auxiliary generator outside. Something like halfway through the show, music...

I have to agree that "On the road" videos are extremely boring. I even get seasick watching them sometimes. However, I have several that were taken by my riding buddy with his GoPro on an 1800 goldwing. I'm leading on the bumblebee Valkyrie. Occasionally, a glimpse of the scenery alone is...

Boy, is that an open-ended thread title! It was intended as such. I don't know if anybody has been paying much attention, but it might appear that old desert_max has begun waxing a bit philosophical of late. Maybe so, but I'd like to think that I always had a bit of a poet in me. I just don't...

…And I can’t just leave one comment about Pink Floyd. Sorry. Been listening to those guys with vigor since I was 13 years old. I zeroed in on them when “obscured by clouds” and “Meddle” were fresh. Yes, I became a "hippie" at an early age. Had a chance to see the Charlotte show noted above...

I saw the Dark Side of the Moon Charlotte Park Center show in 73. Smallest venue they did it at. Rode down to New York City from greater Boston for The Wall. Never saw Gilmour’s post-Waters Pink Floyd (regret that) but did see Waters do Dark Side of the Moon beginning to end with my two sons...

Years ago, I had a girlfriend who was heavily into drum and bugle. Went to many meets and associated events in and around Providence. Apparently drum and bugle competitions are a big deal and Southern New England.. not so much Northern New England.

I was joking…

You guys better nail down specific coordinates within Rhode island. You might be astonished if one or the other of you live on the opposite end of the state!
