  Light Weight Rain Suit? Frogg Togg! 

  We were on our way to Jackson, MS on the Natchez Trace. When we realized it was about to come a downpour we stopped to don our rain gear. Nope, forgot them. So we rode in the rain to Tupelo and bought a couple of Frogg Toggs rain suits at a local sporting goods store.

  We have much more expensive suits now, but we STILL have these original Frogg Toggs. We wear them for times when we need light weight rain gear, not necessarily only when riding.

  Drifter Friendly Wheel Chock 

  I currently have a Wheeldock chock mounted on my lift table. It is a very nice chock and worked great on my bikes… other than the Drifter! They now make a chock designed for an Indian which will likely work with the Drifter, but that wasn’t the case when I bought mine. SO, instead of buying another Wheeldock I’ve decided to buy the Condor which will work on ALL the bikes I own or am likely to own.

  The problem with the Wheeldock is the rear clamp. It crabs the tire too high and pinches the rear of the front fender. Also the Wheeldock has two uprights in the front which holds the tire. As a result, you HAVE to measure your front tire and buy a version which will work with that tire. If you have a skinny tired bike and fat tired bike… two Wheeldocks would likely be needed… or shims… or something.

  This version of the Condor is both a trailer chock and a garage floor chock. It uses that quick disconnect bracket to easily remove the chock from trailer to use elsewhere. I’ll likely not use that and bolt it directly to the lift table. I have a good enclosed trailer… but I use it for storage nowadays. I have only trailered my bikes 3-4 times in 40 years. I’ll let you know how it turns out.

  Ethanol Free Fuel Locations 

  This is a great site for locating pure fuel sources in your area. As you may know too much ethanol in fuel will negatively impact bike engines over the long haul. And, they are talking about doubling the amount in fuel.

  Corbin Backrest 

  This is a genuine Corbin backrest. It’s black with studs and will fit ANY corbin seat that fits the drifter and most that don’t. There is a blemish on the back but otherwise this backrest is in excellent condition. Save $70 over new.
