Re: Video I made of my first valve clearance check

Interesting.

But I think my first valve clearance check will most likely look a little more like this:

Seat bag, tail bag, or roll bag that's NOT quick release?

Hi. I would love to attach a bag to my seat (I don't have a rack or any other mods), but I want it to be secure enough that I can leave it unattended and feel pretty confident that it won't be taken. (I would use a lock on the zipper for the bag's contents.) It seems that as a matter of convenience,...

Stop...you're making me jealous! Someday, I would like to do an adventure ride around Africa. It will most likely take the form of a photo safari, and not on a scooter, though. :)

Re: what is the best way to shade your eyes?

I have the same helmet, and then picked up a replacement face shield that was tinted smoke. Using that alone has helped ride on sunny days even without the visor, but when it's *really* bright, bringing the visor down sort of doubles the glare protection. I know you can get an even darker replaceme...

Re: what is the best way to shade your eyes?

My eyes are very light-sensitive. My Scorpion Exo-500 helmet came with a flip-down sun visor, but even with that down, I still need sunglasses some days, because the visor is not very dark. (Which reminds me...I should look into a darker replacement...but enough about me.) I think the visor that cam...

Re: What is your favorite BEER!?

My favorite is hefeweizen, pretty much any brand. I've never met a hefeweizen I didn't like, or that didn't at least encourage a second glass just to be sure!

Re: Hello from St. Louis

Thanks for the warm welcome, all! And the advice on the pictures. I was using ImageShack, and tried their resizing several times...got it down to 200x260 or something close to that, but the forum still said it was too big, so I suspect maybe the two just don't play nicely together. I'll try PhotoBuc...

Re: Hello from St. Louis

Okay, seriously, are there instructions for posting images on this forum? I've uploaded my image 6 times, each time smaller and smaller, onto ImageShack, and it's now as small as it will go, but the forum says it's too big???? I don't generally have this issue, although I'm not ruling out user error...

Hello from St. Louis

New to the forum. My husband and I got our matched set of PCXs about a year ago. Love 'em!

I've tried twice to include a photo, to no avail. Just picture one red one and one black one, and you'll get the idea.

Nice to meet y'all!
