  1. Reply Angeles Crest early-morning conditions · 1w ago

    Weekday mornings have been the calmest in my experience. I still plan the route with a fuel buffer and assume shaded sections may be damp.

  2. Thread Factory service manual worth the money? · 2w ago

    I already have the owner's manual and a generic repair book. Before buying the factory manual, what information did you actually use that was missing elsewhere?

  3. Reply Fuel stabilizer for a bike that only sits six weeks? · 2w ago

    If the timing is uncertain, measured stabilizer is cheap insurance. Run it long enough to reach the injectors instead of only treating the tank.

  4. Thread North Cascades day-ride layers · 2w ago

    What gear combination handles the temperature and wind changes from the west side into the higher sections without carrying a full touring wardrobe?

  5. Reply Banks-Lowman Road fuel and pavement notes · 2w ago

    Check the state road and forest-service notices the same morning. Seasonal damage and temporary work can make last month's route advice obsolete.

  6. Reply How many miles do you get from sport-touring tires? · Jun 15, 2026

    About 6,500 on a middleweight twin with mostly backroads and highway. The front shoulders looked tired before the rear reached the wear bars.
