    GEN 2 Motorcycle ramps

    Have some help. As mentioned before try and reduce the angle. Also with the newer R1200GS the suspension is adjustable so use that to your advantage. If the break over angle is steep perhaps rise the bike to its tallest position. If it's not going to rub anywhere it might be better to lower the...

    Radar detectors?

    What he said^^^^ heck I've wasted way more on spilled beer through the years. Not sure about the ****** but V1 offers a 30 day trial. If you don't like it send it back! You could always flip a coin No wrong move here

    Pedal Commander! Awesomeness!

    I've added similar gizmos to cars, cycles and more throughout the years. Mostly with little real "seat of the britches feel" this one is worth the coin. If you haven't purchased yet. Do it! You will not be disappointed

    Radar detectors?

    V1 wasn't available in the 1970s. Wasn't available in the 1980s even. It has been around sometime. 1992 was the first V1. About the only thing that remains from the original is the arrows. Not necessarily a bad thing. F150 been around awhile too. Plenty of options out there. Spend your money &...

    Radar detectors?

    I like being able to send the V1 back and receive a brand new one in a day or two. Sure it comes with some cost, but beats the hell out of having an expensive paperweight. I believe it was 1997 when my wife bought me my first V1. I used it until a couple years ago. We currently have 4. I use...

    I clicked on the icon that took you to cars.com or the other one..(slips my mind now) but it had a direct link to email and would automatically include the truck you were looking at. I had a truck secured with $2k credit card payment within a few hours of beginning my search. Maybe I was lucky...

    GEN 2 Wall of Shame Greedy FORD Dealers. Call them out!
