    Should have stayed in bed..

    Took the day off to get the rear wheel off the Road star for a new tire. Go out to the garage to find the FRONT tire flat, with a teeny tiny finishing nail stuck in the tread. Pull the front wheel to get a new tube put in. While that was being done, I diagnosed the problem with the Max suddenly...

    Godzilla pooped the bed!

    Weeeeeellllll, I went to ride the Vmax the last 100 feet of the year, and it would not start! Fully charged battery, lights nice and bright. Vboost cycles, fuel pump clicks. Cranks over great. I pulled a COP stick, and got no spark at all. One thing I did notice is the tachometer did not move...

    Battery pooped the bed.

    Been riding a month or so with the new MOSFET regulator. All seemed well, but I noticed the non running voltage seemed to have dropped a bit. Bike seemed to have a tiny amount of trouble cranking sometimes, too. Well, it sat over a week while I was at Thunder, and only showed 10.1 Volts at...

    Put the Max to bed today..

    Finished the season with 129,080 miles on the odo. Best thing done to it this season was installing the headlight relays. Best moment of the season was seeing Ian pull into the Day's Inn in Somerset at Thunder. I admit was a wreck waiting for him to get there.. Scariest moment was watching him...

    New Old Bike Finds Fanatic to Bed Down With..

    So I spent 29 days out on a production platform here in Alaska trying to get this project done and when I got off I really needed to go someplace; anyplace, so long as it was more then 15 feet in one direction with out bumping into bulkhead, person or pipe. I hopped on my bike and headed to...

    Regulator pooped the bed...

    I put an Elecrtrosport MOSFET R/R unit in a few years ago, along with the Gold Wing battery mod, and soldered R/R-stator connections. Was getting a good 14.4 volt charge. + and - wires run directly to battery. Yesterday, the bike wouldn't start. No charge at all to the battery... 11 volts...

    Two dirt bike chock for pick-up truck bed

Im thinking I need to build something from 2x4's for the wheel chocks and a central tie down point from 2x12's. Can I build something that doesnt need to be...

    Speedometer crapped the bed. Which of you have operated before?

    Was out for a nice ride last night and the speedometer made enough noise that I thought it was going to fly apart and spray shards of plastic at my face.... The needle went way past 150 and pegged on the stopper, where it continued to shimmy and vibrate until the needle separated from the shaft...
