    Cancer is tough on the person thats sick, but its also so hard on the families that have to watch their loved ones in pain and wasting away. I know the pain youre feeling and my thoughts go out to you and your family. Brian

    Ive left my bike with a full tank of fuel and 3/4 of a can of seafoam in my bike all winter on several occasions, so I think youre gonna be ok. Brian

    I hate to be a wet blanket guys, but copying a vid is a crime in the US. I wouldnt be posting it in public if I was making copies of commercial dvd. thats why there was a list for the other DVDs for Ride like a Pro,...those were originals and we thought we shouldnt be encouraging illegal copying. But somewhere through the list the originals have turned up missing.... Brian

    I would have a look at www.partshark.com, but check their shipping before committing to buy. Brian

    Before I would order form them I would call UPS and ask if Partshark knows what is going on with brokerage fees, I suspect they dont.... About 3 weeks ago I ordered the cassette cover from them. I think it was 20 bucks, when i got their UPS Shipping on, the total was 40 bucks, plus I was sure I would have a brokerage fee,... I cancelled the order. Ive never had a UPS, Fedex, purolator or any courier/carrier other than USPS or Canada Post NOT charge me a brokerage fee when shipping from the US. I while back I ordered a Drift camera and specified that they send it out USPS they said ok, it showed up as UPS order and UPS wanted another 40 bucks for brokerage fees. I said I didnt have any cash and asked the driver to invoice it back to supplier and he did. I sent a note to the supplier and because I had it on the order they ended up paying that charge, not me. If you order from PArtshark and dont get charged brokerage fees please let us know. Brian

    This was posted on you tube a few days ago and I hear the RCMP In the Victoria BC are looking for clues so they can hang this sportsbike rider out to dry for a while. This guy is a complete idiot and makes all of us riders look bad. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SIUTXIsJz3o]victoria highway run 299km - YouTube[/ame] Brian

    Youre right, polarized dont solve it all, but i think mine help quite a lot. Brian

    OH SURE! give us all the good stuff to look forward to as I get older...... Brian

    I think Condor has the right idea, polarized sunglasses are designed to remove glare coming from a low angle, thats why you can see thu the top of a pond and see fish below when youre wearing them. I figure a good polarized lens should help out a lot. Brian

    This is a UK motorcycle vid with some real interesting insights into why bikers arent seen on the road. It shows how they think we can do a couple of things to avoid being hit and be seen much better. BTW SMIDSY is the British term for Sorry Man I Didnt See You when the car does a left turn into a biker. A good friend of mine got hit exactly like this a week ago and has been in a coma until yesterday, he is starting to come around today, but still is in intensive care unit with ruptured speen, broken hip and leg and more..... PLease ride safe!!! [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqQBubilSXU]Crash Course - The SMIDSY - YouTube[/ame] Brian

    the buffeting has more to do with wind direction on the highway than the vent. If the wind is on front corner coming at me diagnonally I find i get some buffeting, and then I open the vent to stop it. Also on a very windy day I may have to crack open the vent if I am riding into it. Brian

    Yep, it was only 3 inches here and was mostly gone by 1pm. It seemed to be about 6 hrs of crap weather follwed by more sun.

    I am not sure about this, so this is for the knowledgable guys here: If the tach is intermittent is there not a chance it could be an issue with the tci being faulty as well? Brian

    I dont know anything about the motormounts youre asking about, but feel like I hafta tell you there is no added vibration with the metal motor mounts. Theyve been on my bike about 4 years now with no issues except a much stiffer feeling bike that just feels better in corners. i can sometimes tell if I need a carb synch though as there isnt really a vibration but more like a feeling that something isnt as smooth as it should be. Brian If you want to check out some bikes with some updates, come and see us in Nelson on the July 1st weekend. Or Ill be thru Kelowna on the 3rd of july if you want a coffee. A coupleof members from Kelowna are riding out to Nelson if youre looking someone to ride with, I can send you some details.
