    changing lanes when traffic stopped

    I had an interesting traffic situation. I was exiting a corner gas station and needed to make an immediate left at the intersection, so I drove mostly perpendicular through stopped traffic and made it to the left hand turn lane. There was perfect visibility all the cars were stopped. Midway...

    Jarvish kickstarter (helmet)

    What do we think of this? I suppose anyone burned by Skully might be skittish and rightly so. The individuals involved include former employees of Foxconn, Intel, and Garmin, so at least they aren't completely from left-field. Not sure I need the HUD, but I'm aware that in traffic, front/rear...

    the engine stops at the traffic light

    Hi, the FZ6 engine stops at the traffic light quite often. I try to change / set idle speed. Unfortynately it helps shortly. the engine speed changes themselves - faster - slower

    Hwy 36, Hwy 1, Mt. Hamilton and Yosemite

    Went on a 1500 mile 3 day trip to N. Cal. Hwy 36 between Red Bluff and Fortuna Ca its one of the top rated, if not #1 motorcycling road in the west. It did not disappoint, it had huge dips in the road where you can get air born if you're not careful, high speed sweepers, and real tight turns...

    When do you shift up

    When do you people shift up say during a gentle drive in city traffic. I switch gears up at no less than 3000 rpm when there's no particular need for quick acceleration. Afterwards cruise at just above 3000 rpm, usually > 3100 rpm.

    CBR Electrical Trouble - Rough Idle, Dead Battery, Loose Terminals

    Heya guys. Been having an issue now for a little while in which my idle is periodically rough for seemingly no reason, the bike is having a harder and harder time starting, and finally - it's died on me twice in the last two days, after slow bouts in traffic. Once it's running and I'm moving...

    Meet the new bike... same as the old bike ;-)

    Some idiot U-Turned out of traffic on me a few months back (7th December to be precise) and wrote off my other bike, injuring me (not too badly but enough I still feel it a few months later) and denying it. We’ll be taking this one to court I expect, me and the solicitors, for personal injury...

    Need lane splitting in North Carolina

    Finally California is adding its lane splitting rule on their book. California Could Finally Put A Lane-Splitting Law On The Books It's time for other states to change and adopt lane splitting. My first experience yesterday: Usually I search for houses near to my work, like less than a mile, so...

    My Wife and I rode through Skyline Drive yesterday. Beautiful day out on the bikes! Very little traffic on the Skyway. Just a little rain, but not too much.
