Nothing worse than not getting a response from people. Quick way to get a bad rep... I've even tried contacting him through his E-Bay store to no avail.

Houston riders or other - anybody know Kenneth Rose?  Been trying to get in touch with him for 3 months trying to return some scratched cans he sold me (he had agreed to take them back)... http://rosesofhouston.com/contact.htm

I have a Sport Chock and love it. Drive the bike on and the front end is held solid. I have not used it yet for trailering, but it works great in the garage. After I drive it on the chock I lift the rear with a stand to ensure it's not going anywhere.

I rode a V-Max for eight years before getting a Busa.  To be honest I was surprised how much faster the Busa was and how it starts pulling hard at relatively low rpm's.   Sounds like you're taking the right approach and will keep the Max and just add a Busa to the stable.  They're two...

671.33!!!! I didn't deliberately cheat, but my browser got hung up which gave me 26 seconds in the air...

I bought a Battery Tender back when I had my V-Max as that bike ate batteries and getting at the battery was not easy.  Great investment as my battery life increased significantly after I started using the Battery Tender and I just left the battery in the bike over the winter with the BT...

BTW - the links in my original post link to scans of the MCN article on this bike. The single-sided swingarm and quad underseat exhaust are nice...

MCN has pics of a new bike from Triumph that looks interesting.  Could this open up the speed wars again? http://www.t595.net/downloads/news/mcn200309031.jpg http://www.t595.net/downloads/news/mcn200309032.jpg http://www.t595.net/downloads/news/mcn200309033.jpg

Looking for a mount for my radar detector.  Was considering the stemstand, but sounds like that mount is not meant for frequent removal (I'd like something that's easy to remove).  The RAM Mount system looks good as it's easily removed and is more versatile as additional toys are added.   The...
