  1. Reply Angeles Crest early-morning conditions · Jul 10, 2026

    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? · Jul 10, 2026

    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? · Jul 8, 2026

    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 · Jul 7, 2026

    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 · Jul 4, 2026

    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.
