    Losing hope in humanity, at least in my city

    I don't know about Canada, but calling someone in the US who has caused an accident is NOT harassment. My recommendation is to always carry a disposable camera in your glovebox and always get insurance information. Snap a pic of the license plate and any damage. If there is any damage, get...

    Crazy low-cost alarm system

    Back in 2002... wow 7 years ago... I was looking for an alarm for my motorcycle and couldn't find one that I really liked. I finally found one, but it was made in China and only available to buy in bulk for resale. I figured that if I liked it enough, then others would too. They actually sent...

    To GSX-R 750, or not to GSX-R 750? That is the question!

    I bought a new 2002 GSX-R750. It was by far my most favorite bike. I had to get rid of it due to financial issues and finishing school and moving. I don't regret getting rid of it because it was best at the time. However, I do miss it. I went 2 years with no bike and it hurt. The FZ6 fits...

    Pilot Road 2 Tires

    I have about 2k on mine and they still look new. I mostly ride to work at 65-70 in a straight line so I really like the harder center compound.

    Another noob question on engine braking

    Don't worry about shifting in an emergency stop. In a worst case scenario if you get completely stopped in 6th gear, it will be difficult to shift down to first. You will probably get 2-3 shifts, then you will need to release the clutch a little to get everything lined up again, then a few...
