Planning a trip to Europe next summer, so have been looking at travel insurance and breakdown cover etc - I didn't realise they won't cover bikes over 10 years old!

What did you do to your Raptor today

I've seen reference to this Buell/Italian tie-up before, but never understood the connection between Buells, with their antiquated engines, and the average sophisticated Italian machine. Maybe Guzzis are closest to Buell, but even they are relatively-smooth. I rode a Buell Ulysses once which had ru...

Had a go at adjusting my headlight, When you sit on the bike the r/h adjuster does up and down but the l/h which i thought would move the bean left and right doesn't seem to do anything, the owners handbook gives nothing either. Before i take it all apart and see, has anyone got any input?
