As is usually the case, the driver of the cage will probably face only minimal charges and no jail time. Kill a biker, go to jail! - should be the norm.

Glad you're back in the saddle. After I was busted up, a couple of years ago, everyone told me "You've got to be crazy getting back on that bike". Yea, crazy like a fox! If it's in your blood, it's in your blood. :Venture:Ride safe.

I started riding the 09 two up and didn't even realize the dealer had not put any air in them at all. 0 lbs. Sleeperhawk, caught that for me. I may have ridden it for years before I realized it had no air.

Nice looking ride, you traitor, you.

If you sit on one you'll be getting one. My brother had an 84 and it was sweet.

What, no duct tape? Glad u made it alright.

Who's the genuinely good looking guy with the goatee and slick head?

Welcome, and congrats on the new bike. I know you're going to enjoy it.

I don't know, but sounds to me like a bad battery. A similar thing happened to me with the old Voyager. I had purchased one of the maintenance free batteries manufactured in guess where? - China. It lasted 3 mos. I thought I had all sorts of problems. Replaced the battery with a new from Wally World and no more problems - I traded it this year a year later.

Looks to me like you can order all the parts, ie; brackets as individual pieces. Bike Bandit

The lower to the ground the better. The Legend of the Guardian® Bell http://www.helmetsetc.com/images/accessories/misc/gb-angel_s.jpg Many years ago, on a cold December night, a crusty old biker was returning from a trip to Mexico with his saddlebags filled with toys and other assorted trinkets for the kids at a group home near where he worked. As he rode along that night thinking how lucky he had been in life, having a loving riding partner that understood his need to roam the highways and to his trusty old pan that hadn’t let him down once in the many years they had shared the road together. Well about 40 miles north of the border, in the high desert, lurked a small group of notorious little critters known as road gremlins. You know, the ones who always leave little obstacles like, one shoe, boards, and pieces of old tires on the road, and also dig those dreaded potholes for bikers to run over and crash, thus giving the road gremlins a chance to rejoice over their acts of evil. Well, as the lone wolf of a biker rounded a curve that moonlit night, the gremlins ambushed him, causing him to crash to the asphalt and skid before coming to a stop next to one of his saddlebags that had broken free. As he lay there, unable to move, the road gremlins made their way towards him. Well, this biker, not being one to give up, started throwing things at the gremlins as they approached him. Finally, with nothing else to throw but a bell, he started ringing it in hopes to scare off the dirty little gremlins. About a half a mile away, camped in the desert, were two bikers sitting around the campfire talking about their day’s ride, and the freedom of the wind blowing in their faces as they rode across this vast country. In the stillness of the night air they heard what sounded to them like church bells ringing, and upon investigating, found the old biker lying along the roadside with the gremlins about to get him. Needless to say, being part of the biker brotherhood, they preceded to ward off the gremlins until the last ran off into the night. Being grateful to the two bikers, the old road dog offered to pay them for their help, but as all true bikers do, they refused to accept any type of payment from him. Not being one to let a good deed go unnoticed, the old biker cut two pieces of leather from his saddlebags tassels and tied a bell to each one. He then placed them on each of the biker’s motorcycles, as near to the ground as possible. The tired, old road warrior then told the two travelers that with those bells placed on their bikes, they would be protected from the road gremlins and that if ever in trouble, just ring the bell and a fellow biker will come to their aid. So, whenever you see a biker with a bell, you know that he has been blessed with the most important thing in life—friendship from a fellow biker. The Purpose of the Guardian® Bell Many of us have heard the story about Evil Road Spirits. They are little gremlins that live on your bike. They love to ride, and they’re also responsible for most of your bike’s problems. Sometimes your turn signals refuse to work; your battery goes dead, the clutch needs adjustment, or any of several hundred things that can go wrong. These problems are caused by Evil Road Spirits. Evil Road Spirits can’t live in the presence of the bell, because they get trapped in the hollow of the bell. Among other things, their hearing is supersensitive, so the constant ringing of the bell and the confined space drives them insane. They lose their grip and eventually fall to the roadway. Have you ever wondered how potholes are formed? The bell has served its purpose. If you pick up a Guardian® Bell of your own, the magic will work, but if your bell is given to you, the power is doubled, and you know that somewhere you have a special friend helping to look after you. So, if you have a friend who doesn’t have a bell, why not give them one? It’s a nice feeling for the recipient to know you care. The bell, plus a good preventive maintenance program by the bikes owner, will help eliminate Evil Road Spirits. Polishing the Guardian® Bell It has been a tradition among some of us for a long time to attach a brass bell to our left swing arm, to remember our brothers and sisters who have gone down riding. It’s a small thing, but the reason a brass bell is chosen is that, as we ride, it gets dirty and tarnished. Every time we get down to wash and polish it, we are reminded of friends lost, and our thoughts turn to the meaning of being in the wind. As we ride and hear the bell ring, we know that our brothers and sisters are riding with us, and how easy it would be to join them with a single mistake. And maybe, just maybe, the next time a situation comes up; they will be there to help us...as long as we remember them by polishing the bell.

My sentiments exactly on the D404. Never again. Having said that - guess what's on the new one I just bought? Yep

2oz per tire seems right. I think that's what I was using on the voyager

Valve stem has nothing to do with it. It is slightly harder to put beads in a 90 degree valve, but i just keep tapping on the stem with a screw driver as the beads flow in. No problem really.

Bought mine Friday, didn't ride much because by time I got home it was very late. Saturday (Lake Lure, NC) and Sunday (Lake Murray, SC) = 550 miles. Here's what I have to say "Perfect".

The web site suggests you not use them with Ride-on, Slime, or etc.

I'm only half fast myself - so it all works out. Thanks.

Absolutely! Great people!!!!

Sorry, didn't mean to put the pressure on.

Been using them for the last two years. For my money the best way to balance a tire. Longer wear and smoother ride with any tire. When I change my tires I won't do any thing else.

Thanks to Sleeperhawk for my first Chrome on the new ride. http://lh3.ggpht.com/_xOOWRVc9-a4/SfZNMX1PxRI/AAAAAAAAAs0/oHCJDwpnC14/1stChrome.jpg Rear air assist valve stem cover. I love it.

Thanks, every one. Rode with Sleeperhawk up to Lake Lure N.C., put about 300 miles on my baby. I must say this is the finest bike I've ever ridden or owned. "I'm in debt up to my eye balls. Can some one help me please."
