I just climbed off the saddle after a brisk ride back from my dealer. The GS is home! :dance The slave cylinder was shot (corroded and full of contaminated fluid, etc.). Following some delays, ...

Bob,

I used to work as a safety professional at a fairly large chemical manufacturing plant (we had lots of I&E guys). In the span of 6 months the census at the site went from 420 to 120 due to...

Is there something sacred about the basicness of the "basic" tee-shirts for sale at the country store? Let me first say that I have a couple of the shirts and can't complain about the price or...

Congrats Rich and Nice Bucks. I'll be out with the bow on all day friday (rut peaks this week), and see if I can score one with headgear. I've been watching an 8-pt. for a month or so, but so far...

Following the fix, has everything been O.K.?

After speaking w/ my mechanic, it looks like you're right. The GS has seen me through 15k trouble free miles, and sometimes sh&% just happens. I'll report back on the outcome.

Thanks guys. I think this is best left up to the professionals, so I'll load it in the back of the Tacoma and drop it off for a fix this week. In the mean time I flog the duck. Kind of...

So I'm out on this nice fall foliage ride with my neighbor who is breaking in his new HD Electra Glide Classic. We're on route 9 just east of Berkly Springs, MD and my clutch goes limp. I have to...

I concurr w/ Doc. I had an 94 RS and on trips, (highway) my light would come on at about 190 miles, and that's when I'd start looking for a gas station. In my circle of riding friends, the...

My Mechanic tells me to keep the revs up on my 02 1150GS. He say's "Don't lug that thing" to me everytime I pick it up from my 6k services. In the twisties, I probably spend most of my time in 3rd,...

Rich,

I've not made the RT to GS switch, but I do have experience with the RS to GS switch, which I would consider somewhat analagous. Anyway, I think you have already made your decision, you...

Thank you, Breeze. A poor choice of words on my part. I meant queens of the olive variety, of course (not that there would be anything wrong with the former, should one be so inclined).

How...

When I hear that sound I hear it in the Cat converter area and I just attribute it to a little extra fuel coming into that intense heat and igniting in the cat.

That is where I hear it too. To...

You've described what happens with my '02 GS to a tee. The crackling persists even with regular 6k valve adjustments, new Remus Y-Pipe and chip, etc. Performance does not seem to suffer with mine. ...

Alot of dealers get away with it, particularly with the bike you're after. I have always been one to buy stuff new, but had a change in heart with BMWs. I saved 4K on my GS buying it used. The bike...

I think alot of folks are reluctant to divulge too much, given today's issues w/ identity theft, ect. Or, if they "cheese" somebody off (I like that expression) maybe they're afraid of being stalked...

Just give me a K1 Martini dry (a bit dirty and shaken, of course) w/ 2 spanish queens and I'm O.K. The beauty of it is, I can stop anytime I want.....

Alright, Damnit. What was I thinkin'? No need to have the old lady drop 1.8 large on the Tag, and do I really need the AR with an AK in the safe?

In the final analysis, I guess it makes sense to...

My birthday is coming up. What should I get? Here are the choices (in no particular order):

1) Tag Heure Watch
2) AR-15 (to guard the bikes)
3) Motolights and Corbin for the GS

Please help me...

Yeah, the on roads are awesome and have that "Mad-Max" look that I really like. This is a good tough boot that will give you good protection, and they are worth every penny of the $245.00 (or...

Ultrarider,

As I recall, I could not find the Scorpions on the Sidi website
> either. I first saw them last fall in a motorcyclist magazine product
> review of new equipment. I got the...

I can't really comment on peg lowering kits and the like, but on the shoe thing I recently bought a pair of the new Sidi Scorpions. As you suggest, they are not very thick from the sole to the top...

I used to drink and ride, and I'm quite lucky to be able to say that I have never been caught. Looking back, I realize how stupid it was and have friends with 20K pricetags on DWI arrests (lawyer's...

My LCD gauge is rather sporadic in reliability. I'm told that the float temds to hang up alot and often gives a false high reading. Last week I still had 6 bars with 170 miles on the clock. At any...

SFDOC,

Thanks for the input. I actually am not sure what I did but I think some of the possible explainations that have been offered, and the fact that I could not get the bike to do this again...
