  1. Hard to believe I've been on here since 2005. Ended up meeting my good friend Tracy aka Trace here. And a host of others. What a great experience this has been. Miguel what a fantastic job you have done this entire time.

    Man.......time goes by so fast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  3. You guys and your mileage crack me up. Come to Florida....nothing lasts down here. The PR2 did but still nothing compared to 13k mile stories...LOL Too much speed and heat in the railing state for us. BR>I ran the PR3 all the way when I replaced the PR2 @ TMAC---no difference noticed from me.....HUGE difference in the rain though. I was cruising 80mph through rain the other day and didn't realize how smooth the ride was until I saw the speedo....LOL.
  4. I would first start with supplments. Why, because it works for me. Daily, I take Cissus root (made by USP labs) and fish oils. They work great! I want to start with glucosomine but I'm allergic to shrimp so I have to wait until I "test" out that theory. I can say my friend take all the above and it has really helped out his wrists. For the bike, I have heli's, grip puppies on my 5th gen. It really helps along with a light grip on the bars. Of course, squeeze more with the legs and strengthing the core helps too. Good luck!
  5. I believed the Pilot Road 2 was the best tire I have ever used. Now, I can say the Pilot Road 3 is the best tire I have used (sport-touring wise). Awesome in the rain, glue in the dry, and glue around the twisties (NC not FL...LOL). PR3 two thumbs up, way up!

    Looks good! How thick are those pads? And where did you get the CF gas cap sticker?
  7. That's really funny and someone has a lot of free time of their hands :ph34r: It's pretty cool tho :biggrin: Now who is going to mod this to fire from the NACA ducts? :ph34r:

    This was my motopak luggage setup in 2007. I liked it alot and it matched; however the GTS90's were just too bulky on my bike so I opted for the Oxfords and a tailbag. I will say that Motopak makes some really nice stuff for the money, as does Oxford.

    09 Luggage Setup

    Givi E52, Marsee Zipp bag (50L), Oxford Sports panniers (70L). I packed everything but the kitchen sink. Better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it when 500+ miles away from the garage :biggrin:
  11. :goofy: :beer: That looks sharp, very sharp indeed. I really like it and it's different so you get a big :unsure: from me!

    polishing wheels

    Good luck with it bro! I always wanted to do my wheels; however after reading how much elbow grease and time is requried...I'm just going to have them powdercoated locally and be done!

    Chain Oiler Update

    Nice write-up. While I still am not a fan of the "oilers," I enjoyed reading your thoughts. I am too skeptical and ponder if that oiler failed and the oil got dumped onto the rear tire---probably a bad day.
  14. Tightwad- they are inside the case and you would never notice them until I hit the brakes or the running lights feature is engaged. I haven't got around to taking pics---call me lazy! I'll post up when I do.
  15. :blink: I spent about $230 for my custom LED's installed and with a 5yr warranty. I have Whelen LED's all around my E52 topcase and it is quite bright. I can change the flash pattern with a magnet (which my fellow riders appreciated at tmac!). And the job looks factory---very good work. I've been very pleased with them and it will last years.
