The hwy 80/395 interchange through the heart of Reno was labeled as a 10-year project (yes, they said TEN years) It's been at least 3 years so far with no end in sight.
Just so glad I don't have to...

Have a great and safe trip. Sounds great.

Thanks for the great idea.....


I just did this simple mod. Radiator grills were clear as I give them a vac and blow after most rydes. Cut a little oversize so I don't need any extra supports....

I had a black Tourer. Took off that huge windshield and mounted a bullet fairing. The Valk is a great motorcycle..........

The ECU ( stage 1) I did years ago is great. It also did enhance throttle activation some. Decades ago I did add a device on my poor, old, slow V-Max to have the V-Boost open much earlier, kinda like...

Well, wheelchair, crutches, and knee brace are just bad dream of the past. The mod of the turn signal button is great.

Now using 15w-40 Rotella in the high desert. Used to use the 5w-40 but liking the slightly heavier oil.

Had a headlight out and had a replacement in the garage waiting for the next (this one) to fail. I thought that LEDs were supposed to last much longer than incandescent bulbs? Had a bit of difficulty...

We did about 200 miles for lunch at Walker Burger. Went over Monitor Pass (over 8,000 ft) - 5 Spyders and 8 riders. Perfect weather, too.

When I replaced the water pump in my 2014 RTS, I discovered the plastic gear. I didn't like that, but it hasn't caused many problems on the tens of thousands out there. I'm not concerned...

Check with BajaRon. Just a click away.

Update: Ron may not carry them, but there are other suppliers.

Update #2: Lamonster Garage has a guaranteed fit.

Harbor Frieght lift, jack stands in front and a large cube of wood(with a handle) for the back.

We've had 6 of those "little" dogs over the years and NEVER once let it on our bed. Our first and largest came in at 190 lbs. (over 85 kg) Not on our couches either, though we learned from the first...

I also keep the poor, old, slow V-Max near at hand when I need the need for tilting horizons and much better acceleration than the Spyder.

Great ryde around Lake Tahoe today before the winter storm this weekend. Checked the oil level when I got home. The 1330 Rotax motor doesn't use a drop of oil!!!!!

We ryde to eat!! Going the Fat Cat bar and grill in Tahoe City, then a ryde around Lake Tahoe. Storm coming in tomorrow..... is winter over yet??? Battle Born Spyders is a small group in...

Hopefully they can start filling the outstanding filter orders.......

Toe-------

Mostly sporty bikes in my past. One early bike had the heel/toe shifter which did see some hacksaw action. Could just see a heel/toe on the ZX-11 or my poor, old, slow...

Checked in on getting the HMC filter I ordered from BajaRons on April 18. They won't have one for at least another week. Local shop that sells CanAm Spyders didn't have one either. Ron...

The 1330 HCM filter is getting a bit hard to find. P/N 420211156 is backordered from good old BRP and is a pretty rare find anywhere else. So glad I order months and miles ahead of time.

I loved my Valk!!!

Ah - BUT they will happily take ore scrap copper and steel. Millions of tons and billions of dollars. (Yes, I looked up the amounts and couldn't believe it)

Bring back US steel!!!!!

Of course, with 2 Great Danes, we had to.

Been there done that twice. Once my fault on my old Honda 900F( baged as a 750F, a real sleeper). Second ,on a Ryde with bikers I didn't know. While paying for fuel( cash), one of the fine...

Installed...... Just about ready to Ryde after a broken leg (knee and MCL injury, ya, skiing) Storm coming in, next week should be a go.

Put on the new signal button and shifter pad from frogmamdave.

They have since been tested on a little 25 mile Ryde. They are even better than I imagined.

Recently acquired the set. Hope they will be a good fit for me.
