After having had service done to it twice, for a substancial amount, I decide to have a look myself the third time. Lo an...

Re: My weekend ride...

Hey there.. Must say i envy your ability to ride these days as well. For me, its suicidal in all this snow, so i wont try. But, i must say although there is a lot of wisdom and maturity displayed in the answers to the original post, i have sometimes mused abit about why certain type of riders appear...

Re: Bike feels awkward at walking speeds.

I have a couple of personal comments. First off, i feel the balance at low speeds is superb. I manage to stand absolutely still for several seconds without falling over and using the clutch to ease the bike into action is easy. The breaks are another issue all together. They do grip aggressively jus...

Silly thread: 1 Racer, 3 Tourers, 4 Jap. customs & 3 HD's

I wont write with CAPS too much at least... The point is, here in Norway it is legal to pass cars in the...

Re: Ooh, i love my new bike! + some questions...

Thank you all for the answers! The TPC never stops showing 4 lines where the pressure should be. Today, i was doing around 30kph and pushed the throttle a little to test the ASC and the rear tire went out some, so im guessing it is not working either. Still, cant stop grinning. It just wants to do t...

Re: Anyone used Topo graphs with the Zumo?

Hey! I haven't tried it on the Zumo, but i have i tried it on several other Garmins. Lately on Garmin Mobile XT on my cell (HTC Touch HD). It works the same way. You install the CD and you get MapSource. You pick the local maps you want, and it transfers it to the GPS. You can also have it transfer ...

Re: Online Motorcycle Talk Show

I browsed to their homepage and listened in on a show, but found it very hard to focus on what was being said. It was quite poor technical quality, mumbly and gritty. Maybe its some outgoing bandwith limitations imposed by their ISP on heavy load that hit me, or i might be getting hearing impaired f...
