You CAN fight the system!
- From: CromagnaMan

Description:
Sometimes … not often mind you … but sometimes … you can actually change the official “stand” of a major company to admit that they don’t know everything about a product they sell.
The super streamlined and cool looking windscreen on my motorbike is manufactured by National Cycle and it’s called the “Plexistar 2”. They have always produced a fine line of products, and from my experience, they have always been of first rate quality.
I originally saw this magnificent windshield on a Honda Shadow and I truly loved it! It's a very "cool" aerodynamic design … sleek and slick … complete with hand-wings to protect the hands from wind and bugs going down the road. I wrote to National Cycle to ask if it would fit my 3rd Generation Magna.
Their answer?
"No!"
I went back to my buddy's motorbike where I had seen the wind screen in the first place and carefully measured the shield. I measured the headlight opening, the height, width, everything! Again I wrote to National Cycle ... and telling them of my careful measurements ... asked again if it would fit the Magna.
Their answer again?
"No!"
This time though, they advised that I could buy the shield if I wanted to despite the fact that it would not fit. They indicated they would not guarantee that it would fit ... and would charge me a $25.00 "restocking fee ... so as they put it, “Let the buyer beware".
Well, I ordered it ... and the thing fits as if it was designed for the Magna ... and I sent them photographs to prove it!
Now … all of a sudden … I see that it’s advertised as fitting the Sabre AND the Magna!
They should pay me a commission! LOL!
(Point of fact though … the Magna has a 1” handlebar and the windscreen comes with a 7/8” mount … so be sure if you’re ordering this for a Magna, you specify that you will need the 1” mounts!)

Explanation of a "Guardian Bel
- From: CromagnaMan
-
Description:
Someone asked very recently what a “Guardian Bell” was, and I of course answered his question. I guess I always thought that everyone knew what those little silver or pewter (or even brass) bells were and was surprised that someone didn’t know. Then I started thinking about it for a bit, and realized that I don’t even know where I heard about the little bell in the first place … and it seems it’s always been in my knowledge base for the entire time I’ve been riding. (Almost 30 years now.
) So for those of you that do not know what a Guardian Bell is, here Ya go.
A “Guardian Bell” is based on an old biker’s legend / tale. It seems that going about our travels, there are little creatures called “gremlins” that enjoy causing troubles for bikers. They sometimes cause us to fall over, wreck, drop tree branches on our bikes, heat the concrete under our kickstands causing our bikes to fall over from melted hot-top, (even when no-one is even around the bike), causes our engines to stall, or even "break us down" with mechanical troubles on the road … miles from help. They cause all kinds of mischief!
The biker’s legend is that to keep these gremlins at bay and stay safe, all one needs to do is to ride with a little silver or pewter bell hanging somewhere on our bike. The constant “tinkling” and “clinking” of these little bells cause the gremlins to become curious as to where the ringing comes from, so they put their little heads up in the bell to discover the source of the sound. Once they do so, the constant “tinkling” quickly drives the little gremlins crazy and they fall off the bell and hit the ground killing themselves. (That’s where pot-holes in the road surface come from.
) So when a biker sees a pot hole in the road, instead of cursing it, we should thank some anonymous biker that had the fore-thought of hanging a bell from their bike … causing the pot hole of course … but also preventing the gremlin from causing US trouble as we ride by the same spot.
It’s just a silly and senseless superstition of course.
(I have my guardian bell hanging from the handlebar of my bike in the middle of the risers and another one on the key ring of each of my two motorcycle’s key rings.) Yeah … I know it’s just a superstitious legend … but why tempt fate? Besides, there’s a tremendous amount of pot holes around our roads, and SOMETHING had to cause them! LOL!

The Secret Motorcycle Wave - p
- From: mcornelsen
-
Description:
Those of you who ride motorcycles will know exactly what I'm talking about here. Those of you who don't - will hopefully learn something.
I'm referring to that secret "wave" that oncoming bikers may or may not flash each other as they pass on the highway. Oh sure, it seems customary enough - two fellow riders politely saying "hi" to each other as they approach... but is it? Is it really that simple? Actually it's not.
I've been riding a motorcycle my entire adult life and I've been paying attention. And if you think you're going to get a salutation from just any biker coming your way, then you're wrong. Believe it or not, there are some very subliminal and undocumented rules regarding this situation - and I'm going to share them with you now.
Here's how it works:
First of all, we'll need to establish some terminology to make this tutorial easier to follow.
The person initiating the wave will herefor be referred to as the "initiator". The other person will then automatically be known as the "receiver," and if he responds to the wave, will also be known as the "replier." Note that any reference to said replier assumes he is also the receiver and therefore will not also be referred to as the receiver because otherwise he would have to be known as the receiver and the replier - which just doesn't make any sense.
Next, to avoid any unnecessary political or grammar faux pas, all motorcyclists from this point on will be referred to as "riders" and all persons shall be referred to in the male context, just to make it easier.
Ok, now on to the tutorial...
Equity and the Odds of Engagement
The odds of receiving a wave from an oncoming biker are first and foremost governed by the "laws of equity." This means that the more things you have in common with him the better chance he will engage as either the initiator or the replier.
There are basically three categories in the laws of equity:
1. Brand equity. This means that if you both are riding the same brand of bike, the odds of a wave transaction are increased.
2. Style equity. If you both are riding the same "type" of bike, such as chopper, rocket or touring motorcycle, then your odds are increased as well.
3. Helmet equity. If you both are either wearing or not wearing helmets - odds increased again.
To further illustrate this concept:
IF you both are riding hardtail Harleys and not wearing helmets, the odds of a hand gesture between the two of you are VERY high. Conversely, the odds of a nonhelmeted hardtail rider waving to a helmeted Suzuki rocket rider are almost next to none.
The Big Five
When a fellow biker is approaching, his left arm and hand will tell the story. Whether he is the initiator or the replier, the signals are the same. Following are the five main hand gestures you may encounter:
1. The Nothing - This is the "default" hand position of most cross-encounters. Simply leaving his left hand on the handle bar can mean anything from "not paying attention to the fact you're approaching" to "I see you but I'm not interested in exchanging a greeting" - to the harsher, "I see you but since we don't enjoy any 'equity,' I'm not going to acknowledge your existence." Of course since no words are ever exchanged to clarify, all the rider can do is simply speculate.
2. The Two-finger Flip - The most casual AND most common acknowledgement. Left hand still on the handgrip, but the index and middle fingers raised briefly. This one simply says "dude, how's it going?" Most of the time the receiver will respond just out of courtesy. Of course the whole issue of who goes first really boils down to nothing more than a game of greeting chicken - or whoever's in the better mood at time.
3. The Big One - This is the granddaddy of all greetings. Left hand down off of the handlebar and out to the side. Fingers may either show a "peace" sign or be spread open palm side out. Here, the initiator is sending a clear signal that he acknowledges you. Not replying to this blatant plea for hospitality may be considered rude - and could possibly be interpreted as a strong message of inequity.
4. The Dis - Left hand down and resting on the thigh. This could be viewed as a request to treat the opposing party as a hostile witness - ESPECIALLY if it is moved there while you are approaching. Dating back to the days when rival motorcycle gangs roamed the streets, this signal indicated disrespect to the other rider(s) and was clearly meant as negative and often times led to confrontation. Today, however, the old cultural significance has been lost, and could simply just mean your arm is tired and resting on your leg.
5. The Geek - Left hand raised high in the air as if to say, "Hi mom!" This one is specifically reserved for the new rider, who is "SO excited to be one of the gang!" Also may be seen being used by Moped or scooter riders. Recommendation: Just don't.
So there they are. All the secrets behind those mysterious motorcycle hand greetings revealed (not to be confused with the standard hand "turn" signals). So the next time you approach an oncoming rider, take note. He could be sending you a very intentional message!

CB and iPod
- From: pwayne
-
Description:
Here's a close-up of my CB Radio/Accessory player from J&M. This is one of the best accessories on my bike. I use it to listen to my iPod (which I keep in my tank bib) and when I'm traveling w/other riders, we can communicate clearly to one another. No more wrong turns and mis-communications on those long rides. Be careful though when installing the CB and its components. You have to do it EXACTLY like they show you, at least for the antenna and handlebar mount. I read the instructions wrong and my CB would receive, but not transmit. I later realized I had put the antenna together the wrong way. Since then, I've been able to transmit over a 5 mile distance!
