My wife was driving the speed limit when some guy started tailgating her and beeping at her. He then pulled up next to her and started taking pictures with his phone. She got his plates and called the police because well, she was freaked out and I told her to call. The police said there's...
My dad is a cop and he did something similiar. He was taking my sister to school in the morning when this kid blew a stop sign and almost wrecked into my dad. He followed him into the parking lot, went to the window and said lower your window. When the kid did, he gave him his name and said...
My brother just got me some cool fieldSheer soft bags for Christmas. Their water proof and they don't require any mounting brackets. They feel like they are very good quality. I don't have them on my bike yet because it's in storage for the winter. But here our some pictures from the official...

My brother lives in Ohio and he...

Glad you are okay. A harley rider just got killed up here in Michigan. He was on his Harley minding his own business and someone wiped him out from behind killing him instantly. It's something we don't have much control over. I'm constantly checking my mirrors at stops and make sure that I'm...
It was kind of any odd situation, I wasn't at an angle when I let go of the brake. Maybe I was wrong to let go. But if I didn't let off the brake, I know I would have went down for sure. Maybe you shouldn't listen to me because I'm still new. I take back my advice.:ban:
I learned,
Keep even more distance than what I thought I needed, Learned to not panic when braking. I think some people panic and hold their brakes when they don't need to. I think staying loose and not trying to over control the handle bars also helped.
About 15 minutes ago I had just entered onto the freeway and was doing about 65 MPH when all in a sudden the van in front of me slams on the breaks and all I hear is squealing tires from the traffic ahead. I guess I grabbed too much brake and my bike started squealing and the back end started to...
