Late as usual.

Them porcupines get big up in this neck o' the woods. I wouldn't want to hit one in a car, never mind my F.

Rode the whole year in 1986 on an 85' XL350R, through snowstorms, ice storms, hurricanes and whatever else every day to work and back. Never froze the bike up. Went down a lot though.

Buell did it on their bikes. I read an article/interview with Eric Buell and he was loudly proclaiming the merits of belt drive and how he used the swingarm and placement of the belt tensioner to pro ...

German shepard on a borrowed FZR750. (not good)
Geese (multiple times)
Pheasant
Small bird from under a bridge (sparrow maybe?)
Water Moccasin (stopped right on it taking a water brake)

Any Honda XL over a 100 will keep the wheel in the air all day if you want to.

I just remembered the old Katana's form the early 80's. That bike was the most beautiful thing I had seen to that dat ...

You can't be made to ride a Harley.

You can practically outrun one on foot.

Good thought though. Laughing

You found a Harley you wanted to ride? On purpose?

That's too bad Smile

We can't forgive Honda for the CX500/650 either.

Not knocking the Yamaha's for their late 90's and 2000-on sportbikes. They seem to have a following, in my experience a lot of buyers on these bikes tend to get a bad taste in their mouths when the b ...

I'm with Ray on this one. From a tech standpoint most wrenches will agree, Honda is the nicest machine, well designed and thought out with a very good attention to detail. Next is debatable but most ...

You own a KRR too. That's the only Yamaha I have ever wanted. Almost bought one, a leftover in a crate in like 1994. The dealership wanted crazy money for it and I walked away.

It comes back to the old but true saying my grandfather said to me,

"There are two types of motorcyclists out there, those that have been down... and those that are going to go down"

My 11 year ...

IMHO, 25 is too late. When my oldest daughter was around 17 or 18 we had the same discussion. She was not very happy with me. I told her I would teach her to ride in the dirt and then we would see. ...

Gord hit it right on the head. I have told many people that the surest way to get hurt is riding over their head. If you don't think you can do it, you probably can't. Fear is the best guide and te ...

I don't believe the guy was drunk. It was 9:00am and he appeared to be able to ride in a straight line. He weaved now and then.

I just remembered another guy from Saturday, stayed on the right ...

I followed a guy and girl on a Gold Wing about two weeks ago, weaving every now and then. Thought maybe he was distracted. Then he came to a stop and had a real hard time keeping the bike balanced. ...

I guess that makes me pretty dangerous, I drive a Lexus LX450.

What happened?

Try the brushes. For $14.00 I would give it a shot. My bike was displaying similar symptoms until it just refused to turn over at all. Took it apart and found a brush worn down and a wire pulled of ...

Is your starter missing?

A lot of the time the starter can be freshened up by cleaning and installing new brushes.

I have sat at many a stoplight only to have a couple of kids slide up beside me on their CBR's, R1's and Gixxer's and ask me what I've done to my bike. I don't get passed an awful lot. What has been ...

I would not be afraid of taking a Harley on with my Dad's CB400F. I weigh in at 260 or so. I have ridden the Buell's, not impressed. I don't know how the Harley rider's "racing" skills are where yo ...

Did he post that on purpose?

Sorry to hear about the wreck. I'm from the Brockton area myself and have been the victim of many of the drivers there. I feel your pain. I'm 4 hours North of you now but if there is anything I can ...

Fieldsheer street. Very comfortable with reinforcement in the correct places.

K+N used to make a series of bars called "Drag Bars" I still have a black set on my bike and it's in the gallery.

And are about as good in the twisties. I'll give any V-Rod rider out there 30 seconds and I'll catch him every time.

I don't even like to park next to them, afraid my bike might catch something.
