Hi all, just found this motorcycle thread. Here's a picture of my 2009 1050 Speed triple. Its done about 72000km. I bought it with almost no k's on it in 2018. I do a lot of touring on it. Whenever I get home from a trip on the bike and drive my car I start wondering what is wrong with it....it...

Thanks. This did fix my problem!

Since I upgraded my iphone to iOS 13, my phone continuously connects and disconnects every few seconds to the car system. (2012 SV6). Has anybody else had this problem?

That is a nice clean bike. I hope you don't mind me saying this, but if you haven't been riding for 40 years, it would be a real good idea to do some rider training. Guys who return to riding after 30-40 years are well over represented in accident statistics, many of them thinking they know it...

Enjoy the process Sheldon. Good luck with whichever one you buy. (My choice would be the Indian, if I was into that style of bike.) Also as you'll see below, I think gloss black is the way to go! I have had well over 25 bikes over the last 45 years since I got my license. Many sport bikes...

Just over 6 years ago I developed a DVT in my left leg. Searching for a reason why discovered a mass on my left kidney, which was cancer. Kidney is gone now, so is the DVT and the cancer. Luckily it was discovered at an early stage and hadn't spread to other parts. I was lucky it caused the DVT...

I have this problem periodically. Stopping and restarting usually fixes it. I have not yet worked out what is causing it, but it usually happens when I use the indicators and I think it happens when I'm careless enough to hit the top of the stalk where the button is, but I can't be 100% sure...

Saw this at Motorex in Melbourne on Sunday. It's a poor photo, but this thing was perfect. It won first prize in it's category. [/URL][/IMG]

Looks like condensation to me. My SV6 (2012) emits condensation for quite a while on these cold mornings. Watch the coolant reservoir for a few days, but if it is not emitting the 'smoke' while the motor is hot, I suspect that you're OK.

I have been riding bikes (legally) for 44 years. Almost every bike I have had I have changed the pipes. I like a good note. Most bikes I have had including the two I have now would not pass any test..... But...."Loud pipes save lives" is a total crock. No matter how loud your pipes are, Joe...

1927 Harley racer. Less than 50 made, last raced in 1940......went for $600,000 at Shannons auction. Luckily it went to an Aussie.
