Get your car detailed

Unless you are in the car biz, you might now know what an "auto detail" is, but it's simply a really great car cleaning that includes shampooing the interior, dressing the vinyl and tires, degreasing the engine compartment, polishing the chrome, and buffing and waxing the paint.

Re: My little desert ride

I just read through your Stupid Things Faster for the second time. That ride looked like it was a BLAST! Just out of curiosity (I can't remember if I'd asked you this or not) were you guys just riding the big bikes to see if you could do it? I guess what I'm really asking is if it would be a good r...

Re: Winter's Here Whiner's Thread

I rode my F800GS to work today. A bit windy, but a nice day to ride. This weekend is full of family obligations, so no riding for me.
