I just got back from a visit to the Dr's office for my seasonal allergies. The Dr was a faily older distinguished gentleman maybe in his 50's. We got to talking about my allergies and I asked him why do I get them this time every year without fail. He dumfounded me by asking me "well what do you...

Take the long way around when you are out on the bike. For eg I was out early today and had to make a run to Wally world I could have just gone the shorter route but took the longer one just to ride longer :) Does anybody else do this too or am I just retarded :D
All my years growing up I had a bike with a kick start and no ignition switch button start. I always wanted the luxury(yes the luxury) of a button start bike. Now that I have own one I kinda miss that good ole kick start.
My Fav was the RD350 The ROyal Enfiels had a nasty back kick if u did nit...
:D let me rephrase that ' I hate my Yamaha FZ6 sitting there all covered and not being ridden much lately. I just don't have the time lately. I wish I could just take off on it everyday. Every time I leave for work I look at it and drive away wishing I could ride it more often.
Lol BTW I just...

I just happened to ride my friends Suzuki M109 today, all I can say is Yikes!!!! It's a BEAST . I have never felt such raw power on a cruiser !!!!

I just ordered these from the motorcyclesuperstore.com website. I was looking for something in black other than the mesh type typical riding pants for summer riding. Something I can wear to the mall or go out in without looking like that I just came from the track. It was a bargain @ $ 83.00...

I took my MSF course last year just to get a refresher. The one best thing I learnt was how to use counter steering effectively. And if theres another I would pick learning better braking techniques.
Please list any of your favorites.
Also please state if you did the Basic or Advanced or both.
I occasionally find my self doing this at a light sometimes :D Well I'll admit more than occasionally ;) I rev the bike a little bit just to hear that pretty purr of the fantastic I4 engine. And then I find this silly grin on my face that I don't know where it came from.:Flash:
