Been a comics fan my entire life, always fancied the idea of one day writing/drawing one of my own. After attending a convention in Kansas City last month, I found the inspiration I needed and launched a web comic a few weeks back. Doing this entirely on my own, even had to learn some basic...

Made a mistake buying tires for my 2009 Kawisaki ER6n today. The stock front size is supposed to be a 120-70/17 and I boneheadedly bought a 120-60/17. Will the lower profile tire on the front have a negative impact on handling? I do ride somewhat aggressively, but not like a complete idiot...

Blew the motor out of my 77 kz650 a bit back, one too many trips past 12 G's on stock valve train (oops), so the bike's been torn apart in my garage for about 6 months now. Just starting to acquire the parts I'm going to need to put her back on the road. Would have been easy enough to slap a...

Just thought I'd throw it out here, I listed one of my original paintings on Ebay. Thought I'd try my hand at selling outside the local market (which is really lousy unless you're one of the "in crowd"). If anyone here is interested I'd drop the shipping fees and sell it for $300 shipped (in...

Ran into some major motor issues with my kz, she started burning A LOT of oil so I ran compression and had 1-4, 115, 145, 175, 150. Definitely something wrong with the #1 cylinder so I tear into the motor to find out what. My valves ALL failed a leakdown test, after a top end rebuild less than...

Finished up the exhaust on my KZ last night (after snapping two exhaust studs on two consecutive attempts at hanging the exhaust). Took her out this morning for a first ride on the new pipes and I'm a happy man. With end caps in the mufflers she's quiet enough under 4K to ride conservatively...

I know there are some other artists on here, so let's see what you've done inspired by these bikes that we love. Here's a couple of paintings I've cranked out in the past couple months: "Goggle Eye" Axton Kahler Acrylic on Canvas 2009 16"x24" "Roots" Axton Kahler Acrylic on Canvas 2009...

Okay, I know this isn't going to have enough details or pictures for most of you, but I'm getting everything together to change the exhaust on my cafe. The MAC 4-1 has never really set right with me on the bike, I've always fancied it should have a 4-2 (but not stock or cruiser style) system...

Just thought I'd throw up a couple of pics of my carbs after boiling them in lemon juice. My pilot jets were partially clogged due to a winter of sitting without properly winterizing (I normally get a chance to start it every couple of weeks for a good garage warm up but this year proved to get...

Thought it'd be fun to start a thread about "holy shit" stories. I'll start.... When I had my 94 FZR600R I was riding down a two lane highway here in Eastern NE. I was clipping along at about 120 and a rather large pheasant flew out of the ditch on the right and tagged me right in the shin...

Someone on the GL forum I frequent posted up this link for some wiring harness materials and said that the quality is top notch. Thought I'd pass the link along here for anyone who was needing to build a section (or full) wiring harness for their project...

I'm talking about music of course :o I just got my hands on a turntable again after several years of my vinyl being relocated to a corner of my closet. Nothing else out there can replicate the warmth of vinyl. And if you're into vintage tunes, they never sound right on CD compared to...

Almost finished up modifying the king/queen seat that came on my 78 GL. I'm going bagger with this bike, looking at a set of vintage Bates hard bags for it tonight to replace the disgustingly huge bags that were on it when I got it. I tore the cover off the king/queen and reshaped the foam to...

Check out this guys auctions...a large handful of NOS bikes, mostly Yamahas.... wish I had the money to get in on the bidding on this one...

I've got this HCI pudding bowl style helmet for sale. It's DOT approved, light weight and looks the part. Fits the head snug with adequate padding and doesn't flop around at speed (I've cracked the ton in it more than once and never had an issue). Size Large, never been dropped or otherwise...

Discovered the benefit of strap locks on a guitar last night (when I didn't have them). Had my bass slung over my shoulder getting ready to start practicing some lines and the strap popped off when it was dangling there. In the most unlikely of circumstances the headstock dove to the ground...

Dear Walter, I hope you can help me here.. The other day, I set off for work leaving my husband in the house watching the TV as usual. I hadn't driven more than a mile down the road when the engine conked out and the car shuddered to a halt. I walked back home to get my husband's help. When I...

My band (the Suicide Shifts, formerly known as the Wingnuts) just finished cutting our demo last night. It was a blast getting into the studio and laying down the tracks. If we get enough good reactions to the demo we're planning on pressing a limited run of cds and selling them at shows and...

Had the cafe out for her first long ride last night and boy am I a grinning idiot ever since!!! Had it out on the interstate outside of the city and decided to climb into the throttle and see what she'll do now that I've got the carbs basically dialed in. I ran her pretty hard through third...
