Hay BigBoy! Welcome to the site. Regarding the Metz'ers. I have heard and read much about the Metzlers delaminating, but I can only offer you my experience. I bought an 04 used with 16,000 miles on her. She had brand new Metzler 880's. 10,000 miles later, the rear tread had flattened and cupped severely. It still handled ok, but I didn't like the feel of running on the flattened out tread. I didn't notice any unusual noise, but then I'm practically deaf any way. I decided to replace it. My dealer only carries the Metzler. Said he had to much trouble with Avons and switched to Metzler. I thought hard about ordering another brand from somewhere else, but at the last minute bought the 880. So far its great. But I suspect any new tire would feel great compared to a flattened out tread pattern with cupping. It never did delaminate, though. Regards, Ponch

After thinking on it a while, I have to agree with Goose. Move it around every year so folks from different parts of this continent can attend. Some will come to all of them. Not everyone can.

Hay Goose. Why not fill it with brass and re-chrome it? Ponch

Broken cowling bracket
Ponch replied to Moakster's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
I ran my lower left into a farm implement cracking the side and breaking the lower pin tab off. Lowell suggested a while back trying Amazing Goop. I bought some at WalMart. I tell ya, the stuff works good. I just smeared some on with a popsickle stick and let it cure overnight. Good as new. Great news on the warranty. I had them (Houston Motorsports) replace the lower left and both inner and outer fronts under warranty. No sweat. As long as there is no evidence of a crash, they'll replace it for ya. However, every time I open the front fairing something is cracked. A little Amazing Goop (or other suitable means of repair) and the crack stays fixed. Regards, Ponch -

WANT TO TALK TO ANOTHER BIKE w/o AUDIO
Ponch replied to TESchoener's topic in GPS, Audio, Electronics
A friend bought the Cardo Scala Rider Q2. It supposedly talks to other Q2's within 1000 feet. (I suppose it uses the intercom feature to do this) It has a good Bluetooth and the intercom function between passenger/rider works well. He called me from the bluetooth through his cel / GPS and it sounded better than his cel phone without the bluetooth. Regards, Ponch -
Do you still have the foam liners in the bottom of the bags? They might add a little insulation. Ponch

No probs here Goose. Ponch

Don, thanks for keeping this site clean. I've had the same encounters as you with other forums that don't pull posts fast enough. Things get out of hand quick. Many leave the site for good. I don't think we want that! There are plenty of forums for political, etc. debates. Iprefer to keep this one centered on motorcycling. After all Life Is a Venture! Ponch

Man, Todd. You're lucky nothing (on you) was broken. Nice repair job. Ponch

Hay Don! Missed you at Gig's. Glad to hear your over the pneumonia. Prayers sent. Ponch

Thanks Rick. Good story. Saw myself in that story when I was young and stupid. You think you can outlive the laws of nature when you're young. Ponch

Thanks to the Giga family for the maintenance day. Good food, people and Motorcycles. Does it get any better. Gunboat, LoneStarMedic and myself left Sunday morning about 8:30. We split at different points but had great weather. I made some detours and got home about 8:30 Sunday night. Spent 10 1/2 hours in the saddle. Got pics, but no time to post them right now. Ponch
