    Rte. 6

    There are some great roads near Smethport. One of my favorites is Taking 46 south of Smethport down to the 120. The 120 is really nice to ride also. I like to ride it down to Hyner PA where they do some hand gliding over the valley and do the run from there north up to Coudersport on the 44. So...

    Grip Removal Method (Without Damaging)?

    +1. I use an air gun with a needle end that I use to change grips on my golf clubs. I will poke a small hole in the bar end if there isn't one already and with short bursts of air am able to take off the grips with no damage.

    What advice have you received that you never forget?

    My 97 year old grandmother told me when I was I child that ``It`s only life if you live it`` A friend of mine once told me ``If you don`t go in you will never find out``

    Thank you all for the well wishes. I look forward to getting her home and fixed so I can ride her again before the end of the season.

We were coming down from the highest point on Route 44, between Renovo and Coudersport, there was fresh pavement covered in dust and a little gravel and I was in a tight s turn. halfway through the first corner a deer came out of the ditch right in front of me. i was able...

    What did you do to your Vmax today? Part 2

    So I was having hot start issues and used the instructions in the sticky to alleviate the issue. I purchased a 12 gauge inline 30 amp fuse and replaced the crimp with a direct positive line from the R/R to the positive battery post. I went from 13.2v at idle to 13.8 and 13.8 at 2500rpm to...

    Looking for handlebars

    What size center do I need to have when purchasing new handlebars. Can I get away with a 5.5" or do I have to look for 6" center. Having a difficult time finding the right size bar I want up here in Ontario but may have finally found some but want to make sure they will fit before ordering. Thanks

    Bluetooth earbuds?

    The boom does not detach, I didn't want it either but I don't even notice it now that I am used to it.

    Need help with Canada ride

    That is funny because I am also born and raised in Sudbury but spent a lot of my time around the Key River area at my grandparents camp or around the Warren / Verner area where my Father lives.

    Need help with Canada ride

    I would recommend taking the 400 over 17, 17 is straight and flat from Barrie to Sudbury, not a whole lot to look at unless you start going way out of your way and do some of the backroads around the Huntsville / Burks Falls area. If you decide to take the 400 there is a nice route that runs...

    I know this is not bike related but thought this might be the place to post it. My wife and I have decided to do a last minute trip to Maine, I wish I was taking the bike but it will be a cage ride. Anyway, I was wondering if folks here on the forum would be able to give me some advice as to...

    Ripping around the Warren/Bradford PA area this week

    Just wanted to say Thank you to Dman999 for hanging out and shooting the bull, showing us a nice back road and letting me poke around and ask questions about his bike. It was a great trip, short but good. Look forward to doing it again next year.
