Thanks, Dave! Prayers up that everyone has a wonderful, relaxing, and safe Thanksgiving day.

EVs are impractical with any of the current or even foreseeable-future battery technologies in several areas. Extremely limited range, long recharge times, and decreased efficiency in cold weather,...

74 here today in northern Wyoming! 200 mile ride today, and it was magnificent. Supposed to be in the low 70s until Friday, when it will drop to a high of 60, and Saturday will be 36 with rain and...

I'm a Florida native, mate...I feel your pain. Used to step out on the back porch for a morning cuppa and shoo the moccasins and pygmy rattlers off, then throw rocks at the gators that got too...

23 degrees F, 40+ MPH winds, and it was raining until midnight last night, so there is a thick layer of ice on everything. Probably not going biking today...

I'll be going with a Deka when the time comes. They are extremely resistant to heat and vibration, which is why Harley uses them, and it is not uncommon for them to load test above their rated CCA....

Sounds like a "CYA" statement by the dealer, and that's fine. With all the electronic nannies on vehicles, small changes can sometimes cause issues, and as long as they didn't say it will create...

Up up, down down left right, left right, B, A... ;)

A couple who are members of the Wyoming CMA ran into a deer on their Spyder last Sunday. The lady broke her leg badly, and it may need surgery, but thankfully that was the worst of it. Trike is...

Oh yeah...by giving billions of taxpayer dollars to manufacturers to "incentivize" EV production, and more billions to consumers to help them afford this inferior technology, they have effectively...

Crossovers, SUVs, and large four-door touring vehicles exude a "cross-country" vibe. So take one, limit the range so it is only good for short-distance jaunts followed by long periods of uselessness...

We had a poker run up there when they were doing that construction! My wife and I on my V Star 1300 through that rutted rocky patch was not fun, but I roll darkside and that really helped. And last...

I can go about fourteen miles north and head over US Hwy 14 and then south to 16 and back home, making a loop on the Bighorn Mountains that includes two scenic byways and two passes around 10,000...

Aprilia got over 130 HP from the 998cc Rotax in their Tuono and the 995cc Ducati twin is 155 HP, so 156 is certainly achievable with some hotter cams, free-flowing intake and exhaust, a good ECU...

I used mine to replace the front wheels/tires on the wife's RT...needed to drive the front tires up onto some 2-bys to get enough clearance to get the jack under, but it worked a treat.

Not a Spyder, but my step-dad and I have identical V Star 1300s, and took a 1,000 mile trip together in June. Same roads and speeds, same amount of stop-and-go, and same stations where we filled up....

I agree with ButterSmooth about the dino-vs.-synthetic aspect. Some seasons I get fewer than 3,000 miles on my two-wheeler, and since I never change until I have 6-7,000 on the oil, and it winters in...

Cerakote wipes are hands-down the best thing for automotive-style plastic trim...not sure exactly what the Shad bags are made of, but if they are similar, the Cerakote will actually puts a hard,...

I was very disappointed with the handling on the '11 RT we got earlier this year. Walked and wandered on bumps, in addition to feeling darting around on high-speed curves. I got a laser alignment...

Without knowing what kind of adhesive tape is on it, either a plastic scraper (if the tape does NOT have foam) and heat, or floss/fishing line (if it DOES have foam) will work to get it off. And if...

Over 100 here today, but should have snow on Monday night. Yeah, no really...

Just checking to see if it shows up...

So weather in the Wyoming high country right now is....I'll just let this pic do the talking!

My first reaction was Barris, but it has some elements of Casper's work.

What it doesn't show is the path to get to "You Are Here"...the trip up the east side of the Bighorns is like taking off in a small plane. Within a few minutes of starting up the switchbacks, you've...

Maybe should have phrased the title differently...:dontknow: But anyway, gonna' head over the Bighorn Mountains in the AM to take a boat ride through the third largest canyon in the US. This should...

I have a BF Goodrich Advantage TA Sport H rated on the back of my V Star 1300! I'll be putting one in 205/65-15 on the wife's '11 RT when the Kenda is used up.

I'll be using Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Spray Coating on painted surfaces based on a test Project Farm just completed. I use 303 Products Aerospace Protectant on the textured plastic parts...

I just threw up in my mouth a little...:shocked: But I hope the owner loves it and it takes him on many great adventures.

Which vehicle and engine? (I ask because there were Dakota, Durango, and pickup RTs, and the engine could be either the old LA-based 5.9/360 or the Hemi.)
