What did you say? Sorry, I can't hear you;). But seriously, no, I have a Vulcan 1600 with Vance and Hines pipes and it is also LOUD! I wouldn't claim that the helmet does much in that regard. I used to be a crotch rocket guy but now in old age have gone to a cruiser. I tell everyone that it...

Here is the street bike helmet I have: https://shoei-helmets.com/products/neotec-ii.html I might have a $10 head but unfortunately it isn't a $10 helmet ;). It works great as long as I can remember to use it... Thanks for the tip on the PCI helmet, I will take a look at them. Transitions...

I was riding my street bike yesterday (I don't do this often enough) and the sun was really in my eyes when I finally remembered that my helmet has the internal flipdown sunglasses. They work great, even with my prescription glasses. I don't know why I never thought of it before, but does anyone...

I agree, doesn't seem to change preload but only ride height. But, it appears to severely limit bump travel when backed off. This can't be a good thing...

Rear trailing arms from a 2007 Desert Dynamics Class 1. Set up for ProAm midboard hubs with six piston calipers. No cracks or damage. I am selling them because they are too long for my car and had to get shorter ones made to get the CV angles correct. Located near Tucson but might be able to get...

Does anyone have a source for halfway decent metric grease fittings? I bought a giant set of them from Amazon and to say that they are made of Silly Putty would be an insult to Silly Putty (I snapped off two of them just pulling the grease gun coupler off). Specifically I am looking for 6mm-1.0...

Found a weight distributing hitch bar barely poking out of the sand near vendors row in Glamis. Tell me what brand you lost and you can have it back. We'll be here camping at vendor flats until tomorrow morning, after that it will be headed to Tucson area.

This man was a heck of a driver (I can attest to that from seeing him many times), and while I never met him personally he seemed like a great guy from his TV interviews. Gil de Ferran, who won the 2003 Indianapolis 500 and two INDYCAR SERIES championships, died suddenly after a brief illness...

Not exactly bad parking spots, but we were at the Plank Road at Buttercup and there were a bunch of camps that let their young kids play (on foot) in the the "kiddie tracks". The kids would duck down when they heard vehicles coming. Many of them are at least three feet from the bottom of the...

Don't go to Road Forks, just across the AZ/NM line on I-10. Kind of like the wine brick during Prohibition: Grapes were a hot commodity in the 1920s and 1930s. Shipments of rectangular, brick–shaped packages traveled from California to the East Coast and flooded the market. Included on the...

I have a Yamaha factory trunk for a 2016-2018 YXZ (front radiator model) that I had to take off when I put on an aftermarket cage (it interfered with some rear down bars). I even have the bushings for the bolts to mount it. Free to anyone who can use it. I am in the Tucson area but planning to...

These are super handy and cheap. I've had the same "Brand X" one for probably 30 years and it still works fine. Also, when you get it apart check to see that you don't have notches worn into the basket (this is pretty common on older bikes). If they are light you can file them out, but if they...

Seen Saturday at Ace hardware in Heber, AZ. Obviously a jewel like this deserves segregation from the hoi polloi...

I've got a 2018 Silverado 2500HD 4x4 gas truck, and a few weeks ago the brake pedal started feeling like a vehicle with drum brakes that were out of adjustment, i.e. long travel on the initial press of the pedal and then it would get high and solid with a second pump. I thought this was strange...

Those cars are incredible, and I will have to get there and check it out one of these days. Thanks for sharing! It reminds me of the museum at Barber Motorsports Park near Birmingham, AL, but that one is almost entirely motorcycles. As a lifelong bike guy I finally experienced sensory overload...

I have a 2018 Chevy 2500HD gas 4WD, end every time I have serviced it it has been a royal PITA to grease the pitman arm, since the grease zerk is on top and there are a bunch of things in the way. Finally, after five years of cussing I put together a simple "U" adapter that makes it easy to come...

I have a 2008 Fleetwood Providence 39R with a Cummins 8.3 ISC. Lost a ton of power on a trip to the Heber, AZ area over Labor Day. I saw it was due to low boost (only 16-18 psi instead of normal max ~35 psi). It didn't give a check engine light or set any codes. I crawled underneath it while we...

I have a 2008 Fleetwood Providence 39R with a Freightliner chassis. I got home from a recent trip and noticed that there was a seep coming from the coolant header tank. The back end of it is exposed to the sun and the plastic takes a beating. I did some reading up on it and found out that you...

You see, in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig. Happy Birthday Arch.
