    Oil filter woes.

    I did my first oil replacement in November. I tightened it by hand, then got maybe another 1/4 turn before it was starting to feel like it was too much. Bike has been running well with no leaks. From what I have read, a lot of people over tighten filters.

    New Helmet

    I am looking to get a new helmet this year. While I have been wearing a Shoei full face for years, a couple of friends have Nolan modular helmets and love them, so will be checking them out. Quality first, excellent fit needed too.

    Greetings from the Great White North

    Hi Woodswoman. Nice to be here. It sounds like many members may be hibernating, waiting to see if any politicians see their shadow after Super Tuesday (trying to pick up some commentary from NPR and CNN). It's raining so that will help the snow melt, but I don't remember a March where we did...

    Greetings from the Great White North

    Just found this forum again while browsing and thought I would sign so and maybe find someone else with a CTX north of the Great Lakes. I noted a few familiar names from another forum, and looking forward to on-line contacts with others. I'm had my 2014 CTXN for 2 riding seasons. My longest...
