One of the Ohio Crew riding with Saddlebags is in desperate need of a
rear tire for a 2002 goldwing.  I have searched online for a Honda
Dealer in Kamloops, or a motorcycle dealer in Kamloops.  There appears
to be nothing there, at least on Google.  They should be pulling in

I have a 20 min video I need to convert from DVD to WMV.  I'll try and
post that soon.

I just purchased a beautiful LN 2000 Yellow VFR, however when looking
around all VFR accessories seem to be offered in the more common red.
Does anyone here know where I can the yellow VFR accessories?
Thanks,

well it wasn't a cakewalk
3.5 hours of re-alignment and ligament grafting etc, then the rather
distressing inability of the post-op staff to control the initial pain
following surgery.

Anyone ridden one of them DR-Z400S type Zooki's? Particularly on the
highway? It looks like an off road bike mostly, so I assume its a better
dirtroad bike than something like the KLR650, but how does it do for REAL
highway work? I assume it isn't as good as a KLR, but lets say I ...

500 POUND BIKE, I WEIGH 250.
Just a guess? I am going to practive my straight line stopping.

I'll just toss this out into the wind:
I have been entertaining the idea of a new / different bike, mostly driven
by my recent forays onto dirt roads and desire for some hardcases.
I also want something with more panache, thus enter the Ducati Mulitstrada

$8000.00 retail. 650 Vtwin. 77 HP weighing in the mid 300s.  They have
a lighter race version too. No FI though. It has Ohlins on the rear.
Don't know about the forks. Perhaps Showa?

When my wheels on my Honda 600rr decided to self destruct after hitting a
pothole, I quickly attempted to get some new wheels quickly. That was hard,

A "Heavenly Save", that is the only explanation I can come up with for not
crashing yesterday 8/21/06 at Summit Point Main. About 35% of my rear wheel
was shattered, gone, blown out, tire off the rim, front wheel, two big
dents, but no blowout.

Please help me with my ignorance.  I saw this ad on craigslist :

It lists both jetted carbs and a Power Commander.  Wouldn't that imply
both carbs and fuel injection?  Can you have both?

I'm sure there probably isn't anything that can be done about it, but

Real late at night i find myself looking real good both ways then rolling
