    Front end wobble when turning right

    Ok, heres a question for all of you knowledgable types, I have a 2007 T100 that has always had a front end wobble. It has about 6500 miles now and the last few rides I've been trying to pay more attention to where its' coming from. It seems that its most noticeable between 35-45 mph and when...

    Help...out of storage

    I need advice from my esteemed fellow riders. I was supposed to take a 3 day 1500 mile car trip to go look at property Saturday, and a friend was gonna go with me and we were to take his car. Well he had to cancel due to work. No, I'm not gonna ride the Bonnie, it's supposed to be rainy and in...

    Barn Find!!! Need advice

    My father-in-law just married a woman who has a 1978 Honda CB 750 in her basement. And yes, before you yell at me I've spent 15 minutes trying to get a photo on here but they're too large. Anyway, it is all original except aftermarket exhaust. Has rust on the fenders and bars, but the paint...

    Disappointed with Renntec

    Has anyone else had a problem with Renntec items? First off, let me state that I purchased a set of engine guard bars from Newbonneville.com and I am not bashing the company or service. I have just written them and hopefully all will be made right. I saw several people on here who have these...

    Why do motor officers not ride ATGATT?

    I've often wondered, I've been riding bikes since long before I was a cop, and we don't have motors at my smaller city PD, but it always seemed odd to me that these guys are out 12 hrs a day in high traffic areas wearing a shorty helmet and a short sleeve polyester shirt. Now admittedly it's hot...

    SC/TN next week

    I'll be in the area next week, so if anyone is around I'd love to put a face with a avatar. I'll be in the Lake Hartwell area (SC side) then riding to Tellico on Monday the 10th. Then from there I'm planning to ride Cherohala/Deals Gap then up to Gatlinburg Tues and Wed, then over the 441 gap to...

    Can someone recommend goggles or glasses?

    ok, I've been ATGATT for a long time, but recently picked up a really nice 3/4 helmet, (Fulmer V2, 60's style close fit) and haven't worn anything but full-face since my first Shoei, back in '90. Anyway, I figured the 3/4 would be nice around town in the summer, but I'm having a hard time...

    Can someone tell me the fuel line size?

    Ok, I tried search and didn't get anything. I want to order a in-line fuel filter but can't remember the fuel line size. And frankly with this damn cold or whatever I've been fighting, I don't really have the energy to go look. I peeked under the tank and didn't see that the lines were marked...

    Hey, where's my pants??

    Just got a new jacket for the upcoming season, the Fieldsheer MotoMorph. Haven't had a chance to try it just yet, but I'll let everyone know when I do. Anyway, the new jacket coupled with a friend of mine's recent get off got me to thinking... He had a low speed lowside, approx. 25 mph when he...

    When is the stinking economy going to improve already???

    Another round of layoffs here. Funny thing is I just mentioned a week or so ago that despite all the bad news going around, I was relatively unaffected. I really gotta learn to keep my big mouth shut, huh??? Got the call from the spouse yesterday morning, she got sacked without notice. She's...

    Where is everyone? (Biketoberfest)

    Wow, this crappy economy is really getting to me. It really hasn't affected me too much personally, for which I'm thankful, but I can really see it around me. Went to Biketoberfest in Daytona yesterday, no one was there. Most of the manufacurers were absent. No Honda, Suzuki, Victory, Harley, or...

    Speedy pipes on a Bonnie

    Just my over active imagination again, but has anyone here ever tried, or seen, speedmaster or america pipes on a standard Bonnie? I was looking at the speedy on line the other day, thinking about how I like the look without the kink in the pipe, and it got me wondering. Obviously, they should...

    Another one lost

    "CLERMONT - A Clermont police officer was killed Wednesday afternoon in a motorcycle crash in Sumter County. Officer Robert Sayers, 39 of Spring Hill, was driving home from work, heading west on State Road 50 at about 4:30 pm on his 2006 Triumph motorcycle when the crash happened. A 2004...

    Roadgear service

    On a positive note, I've recently had a great experience with a M/C company called Roadgear. I had a digital tire gauge from them that started to act up and throw a trouble code after maybe 3 or 4 years of use. I was quite happy with it so I contacted them by e-mail to ask what type of battery...

    Anyone have a minivan?

    Ok, against my better judgement, we're getting a minivan next week. The second child was the breaking point. We don't really need it, but the wife really wants it. She drives them both to school each day and it will be easier to get them in/out, and she likes the idea of having enough room to...

    I hate summer!!

    I know this sounds strange to all of you who live in the "normal" parts of the country, but I can't wait for summer to end and riding season to start up again! I think I've ridden twice in the last month, partly because of my work schedule, but mostly because on my days off it's either pouring...

    Guess this wasn't my time

    Went for a ride with a few friends today, out to Cristal River and back, despite the forecast of gloom and doom from the weather dweebs. Nice day on the backroads, and no rain all day until right before we got home. About 20 miles out the sky turned black and the lightning started. We pulled...

    Need Opinions...Got One?

    Hello all! I'm asking for your opinions here, so let 'em rip. I'm planning to open my own business in a few more years, a motorcycle resort, and I'm trying to nail down some details. Would you, if you had the option, stay at a motorcycle resort that allowed you to trailer your bikes or...

    Somebody stop me!

    Ok, I'm counting on all my Bonnie friends to save me from myself. In a few weeks I'm taking a trip with 3 other guys from the Orlando area to upstate SC, near the GA/NC state lines. Should be about 550 miles, mostly interstate. It'll either be hotter than hell or pouring rain. Probably both. We...

    waiting for baby

    Just thought I'd check in while I'm sitting around. The wife woke me up about 1 1\2 hrs into my night and announced it was time to go. I can't write much for now since I'm doing this on my PDA and it takes forever to write anything, but next time you hear from me I'll have a new son. Till then...

    This shit is like crack...

    Ok, I'm done (for now) with my list of mods. The bike is pretty much where I wanted it, with the exception of a few small things. I still wanna to the turn signals and airbox, but I have a baby due in about, uh, 8 days or so. So until then, I'm pretty pleased with where I've ended up. I've done...

    Antique headlight

    Now here's something I'd like for my Bonnie. I was thinking about the bikes on display in Daytona, like this 1950 Thunderbird, and it seems like it wouldn't be that difficult for someone to make a recreation of this for our bikes. It could be molded out of ABS or fiberglass, a top and a bottom...
