The new windscreen is working out well. It gives me great wind protection. It does induce a slight wobble starting around 75mph and gets worse towards 80. Thats good as I need to stay under 75 anyway. Now I don't need to pay attention to the speedometer as much, just slow a bit when the wobble...

Buzzy got a new windscreen. I don't have it adjusted to my satisfaction yet. I decided to keep the bug screen on as the clear screen has no lower attachment points. The only attachments are the rods. Here are the unboxed parts. This cap has a rubber washer under i before inserting. Here is...

Yesterday was in the high 40s. I met my boss at the local dealership and help him pick out his first street bike. After several test rides, he chose a 2016 Triumph Tiger 800. Then he bought me lunch, great day.

I asked Ms. Elie if she wants to be on the forum, she saud "Huh?"

Good morning folks. It is 31° and snowing. Looks like mother nature has called my bluff on my riding limations. The roads are freezing as fast as the snow melts and is getting packed in places. Looks like the pickup gets to take me to work today. OPM has delayed the workday by 2 hours so I get...

It was 12°F when I rode to work this morning. Pretty Pillion sent me this picture of Ms. Elie after it warmed up some.

I just finished shoveling snow, about 2 hours worth and feel great. I got both vehicles and the bikes cleared along with all the neighbors sidewalks and steps. The temp is still 30° with a bit of fog.

At 1700 tonight, we are at 30°F and if the rain gauge is good for snow too, it looks like 1.5" of snow so far. The weather guessers say the heavy snow arrives in a few hours.

Hello @Sipadan and welcome from Virginia, sweet looking machine! It may not be the fastest motorcycle around, but at least it is the fastest color.

It is 26°F this morning in Northern Virginia with a surprise dusting of snow. The weather guesser says it will start snowing in earnest around noon till tomorrow morning.

@Niels B, it movs easily enough. After I pudh it down, it comes back nicely. @Jan_P the clutch lever doesn't engage until almost fully out. That is not what you are talking though, is it?

I feel I know the reason why my kick start lever no longer engages on any start. I have positioned the bike in different angles and rear wheel rotations but the kicker won't catch on anything. What is my next thing to troubleshoot on Buzzy? And can i fix it with duct tape? The electric start...

Back to the fuse block. Buzzy died on me this morning while coming to a stop. The problem is the fuse holder has vibrated forward so as to no longer make contact with the fuse and thereby disconnecting the flow of trons. I used super glue to hopefully afix the holder in place.

That will work, or maybe even using a marker.

$10 was ny cost for a replacement plate just now. I think some blue locktite may be my answer

Buzzy got new saddle bags for Christmas. He will also get a new license plate soon as I discovered his is no longer attached.

You win. The fuse bus was loose. It was as simple as that. It has been awhile since Buzzy went off line and much has happened in life, but Buzzy is back in service as a daily rider now. I eventually took him to a local shop and went over all the troubleshooting me and a buddy have done. They...

Here is where it started getting tough. I had about six inches of waste on the first two pipes but got the long pipe measured right, no excess. It took about ten minutes to burn off/cure the wrap. I took Brahma for a short ride to the river and find the wrap is at least keeping my leg cooler...

Well, many of you know that Brahma had a heart transplant this January. The Viking exhaust system I put on awhile back has unprotected headers and I have burned quite a few holes in my pants. Well, since my old tune on the wore out engine was lean and discolored the chrome horribly, and my...

Pretty Pillion hooked me up for Christmas, hard lowers and hand guards for Rex (Road King). The HippoHands I have on Rex now work really well at blocking the wind from my hands. However, they collapse in the wind and press on the brake lever to the point it disables the cruise control and...
