All of this leads me to guard my present alignment settings carefully. With over 13k miles on the OEM Kenda fronts, they still look less than half-worn and very even. The rear has already been...

Ride to and from the meeting last night went fine. Just tiring. Only occasional movements causing pain, so... don't think me stuck-up if you don't see the "biker's wave" returned by me. For some...
I would suggest first spending the funds on gas, oil, tires, motel rooms, good food, etc. If you have comfort issues, there are good backrests (Utopia) and seat cushions (Airhawk). Bug screens are...
I had them installed before delivery. A bit of a let-down compared to Bakers, but the uppers are somewhat effective. I'd hate to consider summer riding without something there. The lowers do funnel...
PT yesterday (my 2nd) was a bit rougher. The PT doctor said riding is OK, just judge by pain. I plan to roll both vintage bikes out of the garage today and drain the float bowls. Ride the Spyder in...
I go in for round 2 PT tomorrow am. I'll ask him about riding. So far, he says for PT to "kiss the pain, but don't make out with it". Riding the Spyder gives less pain than the PT so far. My ROM is...
No. It is just a level 2/3 separation (~10mm). For those they stick to PT.
Last month a car pulled in front of my '76 RD400c from a hidden drive and I went over its hood into a ditch. Separated my left shoulder AC joint. Have started PT and yesterday rode the Spyder around...
I watched the videos CanAm posted to their Youtube channel. I'm an Android user, but even if I was an Apple user, it would not attract me. Maybe fixing the radio and amp, auto mode switching would be...
I thought the dessert Southwest was perfect for evaporative cooling.
Glad you found it - for your sanity and sleep! Void? Hmm. On the GoldWing, it is referred to as the "Honda Hole".
Just ordered mine.
We pull an old (New Zealand manufactured), upgraded Uni-go. Pulled it behind the '06 GL1800. Now behind the '21 RTL. I modified one (had a spare) of my Uni-go hitches to bolt in place of the ball on...
Yes, or I wouldn't have transfered it from the GL1800 to the RTL. You just have to get used to the black strip around the shield. Water goes up, catches in the strip, gets blown to the edge, then...
Sad. I put 125k miles on my '06 GL1800 without trying. No major maintenance (except replacing parts after I rolled it down the interstate). Sold it and fully expect the young couple that bought her...
I was stationed on a boat in Charleston '75-'79. LOVED Savannah! You won't recognize anything in Charleston anymore. Go to the old "strip gate", and just inside is the Hunley museum. In Savannah, the...
I use a Saeng micro swirl edge. Supposed to cause a swirl in the air to lift it over your head. I use it to catch the rain that slides up the windscreen and keep it from going down the back side....
A loop of strong wire pulling it into place using a rachet strap?
My local ACE hardware carries button head SS Allens in both metric and ASE.
I put over 80000 miles on run flat car tires on the rear of my GL1800. They ran smoother than MTs, but we ran the pressure much lower. ~3X the mileage per tire, equal handling on dry roads and better...
I haven't seen that issue on the '21 RTL, but occasionally the entertainment system "locks up" - won't change songs via Bluetooth, input, volume, etc. Key off/on has fixed it so far.
Great riding weather is here and the rest of my stable comes out - a '78 GL1000, a '76 RD400, and a '72 Triumph Trident that I just finished rescuing.
It's hard enough for this old brain to...
If my wife rides with me, the Utopia comes off, and I use her for a very comfy backrest. Did the same on our '06 GL1800.
My '21 RTL has been that way since new. Doesn't really bother me, but then I could live fine with a manual adjust like my old '06 GL1800 had. I usually only adjust when beginning/ending a run on a...
I believe the mileage calculation is way off, and moreso right after a reset. It is a running average from the last reset. If reset just before very gentle operation, it will be high. If reset just...
Need to read up on the law. Flashing is NOT legal - only modulating between specific brightness levels within specific frequencies.
Had them on my GL1800. I really liked them, but beware that other motorists are not educated and may be iritated, flash their headlights at you, pull over, slow down etc. But, they may also stop...
I've been 400/20 uncorrected since my teens, with a 1.25 astigmatism in each eye. Wear glasses into and out of the shower each morning. With my HJC Symax or ISMax, and a HELMET LINER. I always wear...
I agree with the need. The 20+ are as different as 18+ GoldWings from previous 1800s. Should aid both those seeking 20+ info and others seeking older, plus maybe encourage posting only 20+ info and...
Brighter just makes you a better TARGET, IMHO.
