Just curious, but I'm thinking I'd rather keep my phone secure in my pocket, but I still like Apple CarPlay for maps and voice control. There are now weather resistant (cold/heat and rain resistant) displays available that can be mounted on standard "ball" mounts. Anyone using one of these things?

I was rearranging my garage bays, wanted to move the bikes to the bay that has our car lift. My wife has not been riding her 2016 NC700x very much (lots of reasons), most of the time her bike is started moved 50 or 100 feet, let run for a few minutes and then turned off. I put the key in the...

Crazy 24 hours for my family. Kobe our part time foster son just turned 21 months old. He has been in our care since he was 2 months old. He arrived underweight and tiny. He is now thriving and happy and healthy and fun. Our daughter's birthday is today. She is 27. And a successful lawyer...

Interesting take on the Honda NC750x from Motorcycle.com Article was posted 2 days ago, not sure how I missed it but I finally saw it today. Good read. Great bike. Honestly I don't know why more bikes are not like the NC750x. But that is the loss of the other brands. Honda clearly has a...

3 years ago I was diagnosed with "tennis elbow" for pain on the outside of my forearm. Doctor said it was related to motorcycle riding. This morning I was diagnosed with "golf elbow" for pain on the inside of my forearm. Both injuries are treated similarly, wear a tennis elbow strap, rest my...

Some of my friends in my shooting group that live in central Indiana were riders in this escort. https://fox59.com/news/honoring-a-hoosier-hero-procession-for-corporal-humberto-sanchez-happening-today/ Honoring a Hoosier hero: Corporal Humberto Sanchez’s body returned to Indiana hometown...

Based on a new Insurance Institute for Highway Safety study, which heavily footnotes a bunch of prior studies, it sure looks like ABS brakes not only help newer riders but also help experienced riders. Further, it concludes ABS brakes not only reduce deaths, they reduce the severity of injuries...

I think the jacket was $169. The back protector was $45. I used it for about 1 season. But I had a KLIM Apex Air and then bought a KLIM Induction Pro. So I simply don't need this one. It has been hanging in the closet. Almost new condition. No stains, snags or tears. Never been crash...

Most of us don't like the stock seat that comes from Honda. On my bike I replaced it with a Corbin, which helped a lot. On my wife's bike I replaced it with a Russell's Day Long. But while the Day Long is superbly comfortable while riding, it is a pain in the legs at stop lights. Russell's...

Another death. Not a Hoosier native but he lived here the last 5 years. Coached fencing at Notre Dame, retired from N.D. after the end of the collegiate season a couple months ago. He then coached the US Olympic Team in Tokyo a couple weeks ago, bringing home the 1st USA individual Gold Medal...

Just ordered one of these "Stop & Go" mini air compressors for carrying on my motorcycle. I hope it works. There are a lot of good reviews and some bad reviews too. I actually wanted a different compressor but it is out of stock and a new model is supposed to have been available this month...

I've been riding with the KLIM Induction Pro jacket for about a month and am very very pleased with this jacket. First off, this jacket flows a TON of air. I've been wearing a First Gear Rush AIR jacket and was actually pretty happy with that jacket. I had one minor gripe with the collar but...

We are having our foster son "transitioned" from our home. That is government talk for they are taking our baby away from us. We got him at 2 months old. He is now 16 months old. We are the only parents he know but his maternal grandmother has now been awarded custody. So we will have time...

Been thinking about her peace of mind and seriously considering getting a PLB or a Satellite Communicator but wondering if they are actually practical for motorcycle use in case of an emergency. In ALL cases the unit needs to be stuck to your BODY and not to your BIKE because if you are injured...

What weather App or Apps are you using for localized weather and how good area? I've been using the standard weather app that comes free with my iPhone. I've also tried AccuWeather and WeatherBug. But all have disappointed as they seem to be based on the same national forecast data and the...

Who is using a Tire Pressure Monitoring System? Are they worth it? Is yours connected to your smartphone? Or do you have a readout on your bike? Is your's powered by a rechargeable battery or do you replace batteries?

Just happy tonight. 3 years ago I started on a journey with a young Russian saber fencing student who became my student. When she left Russia she was ranked 8th in the country individually and was on the Gold Medal winning Russian saber team. I met her at 16 years old when she showed up at my...

No secret I've posted in several threads about boots. I'm still searching. I want a daily wear boot. Something that is actually PROTECTIVE and COMFORTABLE. Many moto boots, particularly touring style boots offer very minimal protection. The low cut riding shoes and hightops simply don't...
