People I would like to punch on sight...

Just a random thought. These are people I would like to punch on sight...• The Verizon "Can you hear me now..." guy • Subway's Jared • Broke Obawma (Change? Really? We could have kept the Clinton's in office and I would have been happier) • Tom Cruise • Sean Penn • Rosie O'Donnel • Susan Sarandon • Get the gist? • Janeane Giraffe-a-Buffalo • The asswipe "

Metzeler ME880's

Most riders when they need to replace tires on their rides, probably take them into their local dealer or shop and get them replaced with those OEM Dunlops. That's what I've done the last 3 years. I only got a around 10,000 to 12,000 miles on my rear tire. This last year my buddy Tom got the Metzeler Marathons put on his Road King. He all but raved about them, so I decided to check them out. I

I like the FBI Jacknife pegs

I took the FatBoy out wanting to see how well the FBI pegs felt on a ride. I like them! My heel sits on the boards, twisted out with the ball of the foot hanging on the pegs, taking stress off the ankle.

Power Commander and Dobeck Performance

2009-03-08T11:13:00.000-05:00

So when I bought my bike (used), it already had V&H ShortShots on with the Stage 1 AirCleaner. I didn't realize that it already had a Dobeck Performance fuel module installed. Doh! I went ahead and put on a Power Commander USB III. Performance seemed ok. After I found the Dobeck module I thought to myself (self!) this can't work well together. The Dobeck piece connects directly into the fuel
