Dug the 07 Bonneville out of the garage on Monday (before we got another 8" of snow on MAY FRICKIN 2nd). Started, died, started, died, started, died, started, idling a little rough. Let 'er warm up a bit and then when for a little spin, it tried to die a few times when taking off from...

Just an FYI, there is a special running on an NRA Life Membership going until 2/28/13. Normally it costs $1000 but until then you can join or upgrade for $300. Here is a link to the offer and a hotline #. It says "for Shooting USA (TV program) viewers" but anyone can take advantage of the...

A month ago my favorite gun shop was selling DPMS Oracle AR-15 variants for about $700-900. Not the most excellent AR around, but not trash. Just needs a better trigger, mostly. Of all types/brands, they had about 60 AR style rifles/carbines - a month ago. Yesterday I stopped in and they...

A month or so ago I finally had the opportunity to buy a nice guitar, and got a Taylor GC-5 that I wrote about here. The GC-5 is a very nice guitar, but after playing with it for awhile back at home and although it had a very nice and clear upper end, it just didn't have the nice deep bass...

Some of you may remember a few months back I posted asking for some advice about acoustic guitars. ( Linky ) Well, I sold most of my electric gear on eBay (still haven't sold the Strat and amp yet, but they're on the block) and also sold a pistol I never use. After lots of...

http://www.foxnews.com/leisure/2011/07/19/motorcycle-rider-breaks-300-mph/?intcmp=obinsite That's pretty danged fast, I guess 'conventional' means it started as a production bike, obviously has had a custom full fairing added. The article doesn't say if it's an official time, with two...

Hey guys! This past Saturday my wife gave birth to a baby boy, our first child! This is Luke! So far so good, it's an amazing experience. Also, I've never been as tired as we are right now, sounds like that's going to be par for the course for awhile. Obviously going to be tied up...

So, I don't go to the theater very much, like 2-3x a year. Usually just watch stuff on Netflix... Anyway, went to Bad Teacher the other night, thought it was pretty hilarious. Stupid, but hilarious. Kind of a far fetched plot and resolution but I wasn't there for an Oscar winning story...

I think I'm finally going to buy an air compressor, sick of borrowing or making do with other methods. The project right now is to spray paint a dresser, bookshelf and changing table for the baby's room. I can spend about $150-200 max on the unit. I don't know what I don't know, but a...

Sources from CNN and AP state that the Bin Laden is dead and the US is in custody of the filthy remains. Obama to address nation soon.

I'm thinking of getting an acoustic guitar. I currently have a Stratocaster (5-7 yrs old, natural finish, 98% condition, Fender but made in Mex.) and a few effects pedals, as well as a 25w Fender amp. When I first wanted to get into guitars I thought electric was what I wanted so that's...

Found this on the 'tube. Pretty freaking awesome if you ask me! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tR63vrfhwr8 Always kinda wondered what they looked like. :headbang2: I don't know if those are slide carbs or CV's, but either way, sweet! -K

My Bonneville ('07) has been running pretty well, but I've known for awhile that it's not quite on with the jetting. I haven't had time to mess with it, so to keep myself sane I have had a sock over the AF gauge for awhile. Today, 62°F and calm, elevation 1000 feet, I pulled the sock...

Was coming home from Door County today and saw this gem along the road. The pictures don't do it justice, it really is in cherry condition. Even the pipes are bright and non-pitted. I can't afford it, otherwise... So, just a heads-up to anyone in the market. :) I...

Just got back from a great weekend. I live in southern MN and a buddy of mine is getting hitched next weekend so this one we had a bachelors party at Lutsen Mountains resort, which is roughly 50 miles south of the US/Canada border in MN along Lake Superior. Basically 7 friends, 12 cases of...

My wife and I were going to go on vacation together in May, but now it looks like she's going to go visit her pregnant best friend in Alaska during that week instead. So....... I've got a whole week off already approved by work, and now the only question is, where should I go? I figure...

Got up to 60°F here today, couldn't pass up the chance to go on a little ride. Bike wouldn't start, hasn't run since early October so I wasn't too surprised, and I neglected to put it on the tender, I just left it in the bike in my garage. Anyways, I jumped it off my car and left the jumpers...

I got this as a link in an email from Sears. After the short intro a menu pops up with various tool abuse clips. Kinda corny, but oddly entertaining. Clicky I like this one in particular. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqfgMRw8DKs -K

I've got a thing for CB750's, and it sucks because I don't have one (yet). It'll be a few years, no more bikes until we get a bigger garage. :( Anyway, I torture myself anyways by looking around at fleabay and cycletrader. I spotted this one yesterday, holy shit, me likey! Guy's...

From here! :lol2: -K

Ah man, I knew it could happen, but never thought it would, so I never backed up one of my hard drives, and today it completely crashed. I mean dead. Unfortunately, I had all of my pictures and various internet downloads from a few years on that drive. All gone. 40GB. :mad2...

Okay, I want to mount a garage door opener on the bike somewhere, and I want the switch on the bars. Looking at the right side, on the ignition switch and kill switch housing, there is a little plastic plate that says Triumph. I took the housing apart and found that it looks like that is...

Well, I finally have my bike jetted about right. 125 mains, 40 pilots, 2 turns, no shims, Dynojet spring, stock (Thruxton) needle. The snorkel is gone, the opening has been relieved, the restrictor plate is gone. AI and EVLS have been removed. The TOR's have 4000 miles on them as of today...

Yay! I finally installed my Innovate A/F gauge and sensor! Now I can really start tuning my bike, without just guessing blindly about what’s going on and what needs to be tweeked. It basically took all of yesterday afternoon to install it, today I got to test it and get some good data! First I...
