10 Things You Really Need - Te
- From: twest137

Description:
A list of ten essential items that everyone and anyone who rides a motorcycle should own.
1 An owner's manual
This is the most valuable tool you can own. It'll tell you everything you need to know about your motorcycle. Including how to tell when something's gone wrong.2 Tire pressure gauge
Even a cheap one is better than none. If you can't check and adjust your own tire pressures, you shouldn't be riding without adult supervision. Check them once a week or whenever you ride the thing.3 Four-way screwdriver
A halfway decent four-in-one screwdriver with interchangeable tips cost about five bucks at your local big box store. Use it to change that burnt out tail light bulb or tighten that loose light switch in the hall.4 Medium size adjustable wrench
You can use a good adjustable to do everything from tighten a loose bolt to open a can of beans. Figure on spending about 15 clams for a good one.5 Locking vice grips
Your bike tips over, and breaks a shift lever, how do you get home? Clamp the vice grip on the stub of the broken shifter. Oh yeah they work well as pliers to.6 Flashlight
Peer into dark spaces, signal on-coming traffic, find out what evil lurks in men's souls. Okay, the last is a stretch, but a good flashlight is worth its weight in just about anything, and should be carried by anyone that ventures out after dark or just wants to see where that drop of oil is coming from.7 Shock adjusting tool
Carrying a passenger or even yourself is a lot more fun when the shock preload is properly adjusted and its lot easier to do when you've got the proper spanner. If your bike didn't come with one, and most don't, order one from your favorite local shop.8 Battery Tender
If you don't ride your bike on at least a weekly basis, the battery should be kept up to snuff with a plug-in charger. I use one on my infrequently ridden dual sport bike and the battery has lasted nearly 6 years.9 A funnel
I have a real aversion to riding my bike when it's low on oil, and an even bigger one to spilling lubricant all over it. You should be checking, and if need be, topping up your oil on a regular basis. Having a funnel handy makes the job a whole lot easier.10 Cruz tools Econo-Kit
(or equivalent) Okay this last is something of a ringer. However, if you want to delete items two thru six buy one of the prepackaged tool kits that are on the market, and yeah, I unabashedly recommend one of Cruz-tools kits. They contain everything you need to perform minor (or not so minor repairs) and start at about 40 bucks.Keep it upright and ride it like you mean it!

Hogan Dam Road - Dual Sport Ri
- From: uwe999
-
Description:
his Saturday I finally got a chance to take my Caponord off the pavement. Our parts rep Mark invited me to go on a ride with Dave from Lodi Motorsports and Larry from Family Offroad Adventures.
The ride started 11am in Lodi and we had lunch at a chinese buffet in Valley Springs. From there we headed on some twisty roads around Hogan Reservoir. The pavement finally ended and we got to ride on some gravel roads, crossed a small stream and road chased some cows
Most of the bike were dirt bikes. Mark was on his BMW GS1200 Adventure. There was a KTM 990 and one guy even rode his VTX 1300 Retro, he even crossed the stream to everybodies surprise.
They have rides planned every month. Larry is also planning a Yosemite Adventure Tour May 2nd and 3rd. I think I'll join him for that event. Checkout the links above for more info.

Description:The boys brought their dirt bikes to the Bradsahw family reunion 11-13 June 2008. We rode the trails at Lake Lopez... until the video ends abruptly with an out streached hand of a part ranger giving the STOP sign. He was not too happy, but he did let us go. Thank you Mr. Lake Lopez Ranger!

Dual V8 with 1000 hp
- From: uwe999

Description:
During luch break I went for a quick ride and gased up my Road Glide. I guy gased up a boat next to me and he checked out my bike. We started to chat. His boat has 2 V8 engines that can accelerate the boat to 95 miles an hour. He went on to complain about the high gas prices ...
Most non-bikers don't even know how fuel efficient motorcycles are. You get 40-60 mpg for your average street bike and 50-80 mpg for some smaller bikes or scooters. Plus you get sport car 0-60 accelleration and fun of riding that you won't get with any car ...
With the gas prices going in only one direction pretty soon more and more cagers and boaters are going to find out our little secret.
