I had a really bad week at work and it was a great release. When do you think you will be back on the bike? How's the ankle doing? Getting any sleep? Okay I will stop with the questions.

You might want to consider a Husqvarna TE 250. It's a modern 250 4 stroke and it is street legal! Here's a link to the Husqvarna website:

Also, I-Pods/MP3 players don't count as hearing protection! Katbeanz I'm glad your employer is providing you with a HCP. The small foam ear plugs called, believe it or not, EARS have the highest noise reduction rating at 37 Dbs. But this is miss leading and was established in a lab. For actual field...

What did you say?????

Have you ever gone for a long ride and had buzzing or ringing in your ears? I know that I have and guess what it is from noise exposure! Yes, your motorcycle might be causing you to go deaf! Last week I attended a course on hearing conservation and guess what the standard is for OSHA that requires a...

To adjust oil level I use a syringe with a small brass tube (hobby shop) heated and melted into the tip of the syringe. I marked the tube with the air chamber length desired. Another option: http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=95468 Replace the plastic tube with a small...

Sunday I replaced a fork seal, again. While there, I checked and my front wheel bearings are notchy. Of course Excel uses some obscure bearing that OReilly, NAPA, and Autozone don't carry. Found some guy in Minnesota on line that sells kits (bearings and seals) for $20 for the front. I will post mo...

I will share some wisdom I received from an inmate when I worked in a Federal prison. "You can do anything you want, as long as you don't get caught". :roll: He was doing 20 years for bank robbery, he got caught. Mike I hope your hand gets better. Note to all riders, gas stations are dangerous so us...

Rule 1: Don't mess with a bike that is running a day before the trip. Rule 2: Once baby arrives in a household, time off is limited. My spouse and 3 MO are away this weekend, so this is it. Rule 3: Crap happens. With that latter one in mind, let's plan on meeting Saturday morning, somewhere. Single...

Here is a clip of some testing going on in Germany. Note that they are pulling into the Husky tent and are followed by an H2 and a two stroke Husky. Hmmm it could be a done deal between BWM and Husky. Dang it the price of parts just went up! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ZcqEqUzIAY Also, looks lik...

Well it looks like BMW is getting a little more serious about a smaller off road bike:

Rumor has it that BMW is set to buy out Husqvarna and the two companies have been working together on this project.
