    Bike shaking crazy with windscreen

    I used to ride a Shadow with a big windshield. I had crazy head shakes (wind buffetting i think it's called) at certain speeds. As Joe pointed out, after I installed the 'Lowers' on my forks all of that stopped. I do not know if that's the solution for you but it worked for me.

    SUV choices

    1 year and 36K on my 2016 Forester XT (2.0 turbo) and I still love it. I originally drove the 2.5 NA Forester and it was OK. I took the 2.0 Turbo out and put it into S# mode. It is a completely different animal. If you're OK with putting premium fuel in, take the 2.0 out and then decide.

    SUV choices

    Make sure you test drive the vehicle with the engine / transmission package you are going to buy. I first drove the Forester with the 2.5NA (non Turbo). It felt like a bigger newer version of my wife's Impreza. The 2.0 Turbo has a much different (better IMO) feel to it. Have fun shopping!

    SUV choices

    Almost 1 year ago today I picked up a 2016 Forester XT (Turbo with the 2.0) I got the full tech package as well as I love toys. I run 91 in it all the time as that is what it recommends. I've been in and out of the Forester forums and people run 87 and say the car is lazy and fuel economy goes...

    Selling your house by yourself

    My first 'private sale' didn't work out. The homeowner (private seller) brought their 'friend' to negotiate on their behalf. Their 'friend' happened to be a real-estate agent who had already been paid through previous transactions for this homeowner and was throwing in this sale as a freebee...

    Stock Yamaha V Star Seat vs Mustang seat

    I had a Shadow ACE 750 with a upgraded Mustang Seat. I highly recommend the upgrade to everyone. Stock seats typically suck pretty bad.

    PIA bikes to work on

    When I had Kneedragger work on my ST I pulled all the tupperware off as well. It's a huge PITA pulling them off. At least they can stay on for oil changes. I do need a roll of foil paper as well.

    Found my old bike for sale!

    I've spotted my original bike a few times. It is a 2000 Shadow ACE. The original owner, Minidisco from this board, sold it to me with approx 32K on the ODO in 2003 in 2003 I believe. I rode it until 2007 and I sold it to my brother with 99,XXX KM on the ODD. He rode it for 1 year and then...

    I agree with D. 2 buddies are using the LG G4. Excellent bang for the buck. The photos it takes are incredible. Solid phone. Replaceable battery. I recently recommended it to another buddy for these reasons.

    Where is the best place to buy Ram mount?

    I've been watching a lot of Letterkenny these days so I want to say 'figure it out". I've purchased mounting hardware from GPSCity.com http://www.gpscity.com/ Great guys to deal with and they have a lot of inventory. Figure out what you want to mount (GPS / Phone / whatever) and then put...

    Battery Tender Power Plus clerance price at Costco.

    Of the top of my head from what I remember when I was comparing -tender JR is .75 amp, this is 3 amp <--- biggest difference. -this unit has a cord rather than the tender jr. power block that takes up more space at the outlet. This thing also has mounting screws -

    Air compressor for home garage

    I completely agree. I bought a small CT air compressor (dual tank) in hopes to use my air impact gun. It doesn't work at all so I picked up the electric impact from CT (or Princess auto, can't remember) on sale. Super happy with the power of the electric. The compressor is good for filling...

    The 6 to Vancouver - packing list and preparation

    I know you said you're bringing your earplugs. I suggest wearing them all the time. I have found that the proper sound suppression helps minimize mental fatigue. I wear my earplugs on even short runs when i'm on the highway. If you are playing your music through your SENA's, you should...

    Any 1 good with computers? Fan issue

    Blasting air won't do anything. As stated above (and below) take it apart and get right in there.

    Any 1 good with computers? Fan issue

    When our work HP Elitebook laptops have the fans running all the time, the first thing we do is take the cover off and clean out the fan and venting. There's usually a build up of dust and debris that's not allowing the fan to cool the CPU as a result of airflow restriction. You would be...

    Wind Mobile Opinions Wanted

    Hey Jen, A couple of my buddies are on Wind and say 'it's fine'. I just cut my wife over to Wind. She says she has had a few dropped calls but she's only had the service for a few weeks now. I wanted to give it a shot. If it really sucks i'll move her back onto something else.
