Friday, November 27 Dear Readers, Friday, November 27 Dear VTwin Mama, Dear Gena, I read online that in winter there is generally less humidity in the air and so more likely that you would generate a static charge. But on your motorcycle? The only thing I can think of is that if you have some kind of seat covers (other than the standard leather ... maybe sheepskin?), your movement would generate a charge. Readers ... any ideas?! Thursday, November 26 Dear Readers, Wednesday, November 25 2009-2010 Victory Motorcycles Compared Dear Readers, Tuesday, November 24 Dear Readers, Please also welcome a new advertiser, Nelson Rides ... this company, which understands the plus-size woman rider, has an interesting story to share ... you'll love visiting and exploring! – Mama Friday, November 20 Dear VTwin Mama, Dear New Harley Owner , Yes, pulling the battery in this case is a good idea, storing it in a cool and dry place. Before doing that you should fill the tank and add a gas stabilizer (found at any auto parts store) and then run that mix for a few minutes to get the stabilized mix through the system. Then turn the gas petcock to off. Filling the tank instead of emptying it helps with tank corrosion ... an empty tank can collect moisture, which can corrode the inner tank. You should also change the oil and filter unless you know that that was done when you purchased the Sporty. Clean and dry the bike and cover it with something that breaths. Get the tires off the floor if possible by using a center stand or place cardboard on the floor so that the tires aren't in direct contact with what most likely is cement. – Mama Thursday, November 19 Dear VTwin Mama, Dear Volcano, I would start at the battery. Check that the battery terminals and cable connections have no corrosion by pulling the cables (negative first, then the positive). Clean as needed with an old toothbrush and baking soda, and then dry off with a rag. Then coat the cable connectors and terminals with dielectric grease. This acts as a moisture barrier. Reattach the cables (positive first) and tighten. Coat the entire area on the outside of the connection. Could this same problem be somewhere else ... yes, but usually the battery is the culprit. – Mama
Held Over For Your Consideration ... New Touring Book Announcement Dear Fellow Riders,
In addition to 20 full length touring articles, this book features six motorcycle service pieces covering topics like “packing a bike” and “riding in the dark”. Readers can also download RoadRUNNER’s signature tankbag maps and GPS files, for each tour, from their website. Although Riding America’s Backroads is especially geared to motorcyclists, it’s entertaining and informative for any traveler, whether on two wheels or four. 192 pages, 4 color, soft-cover price is $27.95 and the hard cover limited edition is $75 (this is numbered and signed by RoadRUNNER Publisher Christa Neuhauser). Available at www.roadrunner.travel/shop or by phone toll-free at 1-866.343.7623. – Melanie Merritt, RoadRUNNER Angel Wing T-shirts and Patch Hi Petra, My inspiration came from the many riders I've met over the years. So you might be asking, "Why now?" Well, I was an industrial electrician who lost her job after 30 years with the same company. The plant closed in March so I decided to finally do something I always wanted to do! As you can see in the pictures, the front says "Never ride faster than your guardian angel can fly!" and the back has a pair of angel wings, which by the way, have a shimmery bling to them! The Ts are Gildan Ladies Ultra Cotton; $20 (S-XL) and $21 (2XL) and $21 (3XL, men's T style) for the short sleeve ... $25 for the long sleeve (S-2XL). The matching patch is $5, but you'll get a $1 off with a T-shirt purchase. I hope you and your readers like the idea and take a closer look at http://witw1.com/Angels to place an order! – Becky Brown
