    Project: Tour-Max

    Having just done a tour with some guys rolling a Guzzi Norge and a BMW K1300 I will say that if you're serious about touring something has to be done to address the fuel range. 100-130 miles to reserve depending on the roads traveled and if non-ethanol gas was available. Those guys get...

    Well its official

    The problem is when their orange doesn't cover the apples they need care for they end up not paying for the apples they get anyway. Which raises for those already paying for the apples year after year with no end in sight. It's not even very predictable because it's hard to say how much unpaid...

    Well its official

    Short answer: Yeah it's pretty cheap for any plan with dependents. I worked for a broker that used to do the same thing. Sell two plans as one with ultimate coverage around the out of pocket expenses and extending coverage limits into the millions. It only worked well because of the plans...

    Well its official

    Well it sucks he is having a hard time finding something affordable, but I'd bet an outrageous monthly payment that the old plan covered jack ****, and he was more or less wasting his money on it. As somebody who used to work in the health insurance industry I can tell you that we often had...

    Well its official

    The Obamacare standard is there to make sure the insurance actually works. Even those only pay 60% or more of total healthcare costs. So if the $975 a month plan was dropped that means it covered **** all. Did he have like a 25k deductible? One ER visit and he'd have been SOL anyway for...

    Looks like crime pays after all

    This is terrible and all that, but what is it that people have against snopes now? The site isn't political at all? Your own source says so even http://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/s/snopes.htm#.UnKY_dxDtyU Facts have a liberal bias I guess :rofl_200: I'd really love to know more...

    EZ Pass info

    Do they care if you don't have the transponder? In Illinois I have the bike registered to the pass and the plates accurate and just go through. I don't even keep the pass on me or the bike. One time I got a notice in the mail, called the number on it, they confirmed the vehicle was registered...

    Went to scared to death to wanting her own in under 3 months...

    My wife's selling her 2000 VLX600 and would actually be thrilled if it happened to go to another female rider. Needs tires (badly), fork seals (badly), and has a small oil leak out of a head bolt (no big deal). Runs really well though and is in cosmetically good shape. Was looking to get...

    Radials on stock 15 inch rear wheel

    "It doesn't handle worse, it just handles different" says every darksider ever. It handles like ****.

    I am seriously loving the weather right now. There's no better time to ride than Fall IMO.

    obama care?This can't be right!Can it.

    So in conclusion, 9/11 was an inside job, people actually care about what Michael Moore has to say, and Obama was/is a pothead. Does that about cover the problems with Obamacare.... ? The companies that were forking over for insurance will continue to do so. More and more every year...

    obama care?This can't be right!Can it.

    What's next is some half assed bone gets tossed to the GOP that they can use to save face and they vote on it then get back to doing their jobs for another few months until the next manufactured crisis. Dear Congress, Stop joking around and get back to work you deadbeats. Love, Your...

    this is pretty cool - torque wrench adapter

    I'd have to double check to be sure, but IIRC torque doesn't change by matter of length/leverage just angle. The torque wrench is measuring how much force it takes to tighten the bolt any further at the socket/bolt/whatever level. Extending the wrench to give additional leverage will allow...

    obama care?This can't be right!Can it.

    It already worked that way though. Don't have insurance? Get injured? Get treated anyway. When the bills can't be paid then the cost of service goes up. The rest of us are forced to pay the difference. The masses carry the burden either way. One thing I wonder about the current...

    obama care?This can't be right!Can it.

    Hey fellas, welcome to the expense that has been medical insurance for the last 10+ years. The extra fun part is it's barely keeping pace with the medical costs it's trying to insure against, and as a result increases hugely year after year with no end in sight. You can gripe about the...

    Turn Signal Fuses

    Double check your install after you confirm the blown fuse. It blew because there's a short in the new signals. It's either in the unit, or much more likely a forehead slapper mistake somewhere in the wiring/splicing.

    forktubes.....

    I'm no suspension expert but I think raising the tubes in the tree is actually truer to the intended geometry than internally lowering it. So it would actually be a better long term fix than lowering internally. That said, it looks like butt IMO so I lowered internally :rofl_200: I didn't...

    What did you do to your Vmax today? Part 2

    Wishing you a speedy recovery Sean. Yesterday was the 1 year mark of owning my 2006. Clocked out the full 12 months at 5381 on the odo... which is more than double the 2100 or so that was on it when I bought it, but still a bit disappointing honestly. I rode it just about every day...
