OK it is looking like I will get wet wet wet on the way to MD. I have never ridden more than a few miles in town in the rain. On this trip I will be pulling a trailer, also something new for me. I did get new tires last week. Unfortunately I was only able to get about 80 miles on them to get th...

My wife and I were heading out with some friends to the Heroes Highway Ride in the rain yesterday when I suddenly got an ear busting shriek in my headphones. It was really painful and lasted several seconds. I pulled up beside the leader at the next traffic light and told him I had a problem and to...

Since it will be wet and the ground possibly soft. I will bring a supply of polished Stainless steel pads to put under your side stand (a pair also works well under the center stand) so we do not have to pick up to many bikes that might want to take a nap in the nice soft wet grass. It will be firs...

My 91 Voyager has the battery light on but it has a new battery and it is getting 14v at idle I am wondering if it has the same battery sensor that the VR did for wet battery's. If someone has a clue on Voyagers give me a shout, this is my first one. Tom

Your battery opinions needed

I need to replace the battery in my 83 Venture . I see there are many choices for battery types, AGM, Dry cell, Lithium and traditional wet cell. I find so much information on them I can't put it all together. I really don't want another wet cell so I'm looking to go to something else. What are the... -
While performing some routine maintenance on my bike, I removed both sides of the (what I call airbox) under the tank, that connects the hose from the airfilters into the carbs and found that they were wet with oil inside them. The foam gaskets that mount the two sides together were pretty wet with...

Does anyone know of any product that can be put on the windshield to help it shed rain? I checked Rain-X and on the bottle it says to not use it on plastics. During our upcoming trip, if we run into a lot of wet weather, would be nice if I could see out of the windshiels...and my helmet visor. Thank...

I ride an 83. the Elite II's on the bike are getting thin and are quite old. I would like a tire with more "grip" in the wet compared to what I am riding on now. The Dunlop D404's look like they have a far better tread pattern for wet riding. How do they ride on the dry as well? anyone running t...

I read they are having wildfires north and southeast of Perth. Any of that south east fire near you? Hope not. Maybe they should dig a trench from the wet part of the country to the dry part. I know but it was just a thought. Hope you're ok. Margaret

I have had Venoms on my RSV for about 7k miles. I maintain them well and there is plenty of tread front and back. I rarely ride in the rain but yesterday morning the roads were still wet from some overnight rain. I turned left at a stop light and came oh-so-close to laying her down. It wasn't ju...

Its been a wet year here and very cool. this mess started off with a guy getting his farm equipment stuck in a field about 2 hours north of here. They brought in tractors to pull him out and it looks like things snoballed from there. I gotta think the backhoe guys didnt have a sniff at what they wer...

Next time your bike wont start or run right because of wet weather or washing, try spraying the entire ignition system including the plug wires with a heavy wet dose of WD40 or other quality penetrating oil. It will flush the moisture away and 9 times out of ten the bike will run normal. 2nd point i...

Got wet now missing, help

I recently washed my 84 XVZ 1200 (just shy of 40K miles and prodominantly all original equipment) giving it a good soaking. Ever since the wash, the bike has been missing. I'm no electrical genius but I suspect I got something wet that either should not have or I have something shorting out. I th... -
Since it was another wet, rainy day. I decided to put the farming aside for a bit. I rolled the bike out from the back corner of the shop and did some maintenance on it. Changed the oil,went through the air filters, topped off the anti-freeze etc. Gotta tell you, it made for a nice peacefull day! Oh...

Due to the weather he spent the night - but got on the road this morning heading back to Georgia. He's bound to get wet today but should avoid...

Got up early today and got on the bike and headed south. Rode just about all of middle southern Georgia today for a total of 394 miles. Cloudy, looked like I was gonna get wet several times but didn't. Kinda chilly though, upper 40's to low 50's. Great day!!!

The wife is on a 50th reunion cruise down in Mexico. She left Saturday with Cabo being the first stop today. It looks like they're gonna get wet, but I told her to take the umbrella... It a good thing she's on NCL. If she does get stuck on the ship at least it'll be fun... http://www.nhc.n...
