Buell Recalls 2009 XB12SS for Brake Fluid Leak

Buell is recalling certain 2009 XB12SS motorcycles.

The front brake line may contact the front tire. This contact could cause a hole to develop in the front brake line, allowing brake fluid to leak.

405 units are affected.

New demonstration video: how to mount iPod or iPhone on a motorcycle

Just uploaded: the second of two demonstration videos showing how to mount iPod classic/Nano/Touch and Apple iPhone on a motorcycle. This demo features the all-chrome, made-in-the-USA eCaddy Deluxe with cradle and UltraTilt for maximum angle-ability. (The original video shows how to mount iPod/iPhone/MP3 on a motorcycle with the eCaddy Lite, which includes water-proofing options.)

These two videos together give you THREE different mounting options for your iPod – one of which is sure to work for YOU! Check out the videos and our easy mounting steps on the “How to Mount iPod/iPhone/MP3 on a Motorcycle” Guide Page here.

Twas not meant to be.

Notice anything new?

As recently seen on Arizona Harley Dude's blog, I saw this light switch cover and just had to have one of my own. I used electrical tape to lay it out, and cut it according to the general shape. I would usually have done it in reverse, sanded it for tooth(adhesion), and them masked it off and painted it black, however, I have women folk in my house, and I was going to see how it played out before doing any thing that would take that much time.

My 17 Yr. Old son thought it was a hoot, and my wife and almost 14 Yr. Old daughter did not think it was quite so funny.

I attest, this is "MY GARAGE" damnit, and I should be able to leave it that way! However, everyone goes in and out quite frequently. (Garbage can, Recycle bin, Extra Fridge./Freezer, Cars, Bikes, Etc. are all in "My garage too.) Therefore I must share "My garage".

With a little guilt, I left it there for the day. (Leaving my man foot firmly dug into place).

The following day, my daughter comes into the house after getting something out of the garage, and claims, "I'm not comfortable even touching that light switch in the garage any more."

I gave in. "Twas not meant to be."

The tape came off, and the women folk are happy again.

You know what they say.

If she ain't happy... Aint Nobody happy!
