Has anybody had any luck finding a way to just make the throttle lighter and or give it a quicker ratio. I don't like how far I have to twist to get full throttle.

I had a scary experience today. I was riding on a road that I hadn't been on before and was having an exceptionally good time riding. I was having so much fun riding that I wasn't paying enough attention. My road came to an intersection of another road and I had a stop sign. Unfortunately I...

I ride an 07 so if I don't feel like carrying a helmet around I just use the helmet lock. I usually don't carry the hlemet inside. the exception is restaraunts where I can leave it on the table or beside me in the booth.

you guys are giving him a hard time for nothing. He wasn't even trying to get it off the center stand he was simply doing a preride inspection like you are supposed to. He was checking the operation of the front brake, and checking the fork for smoothness. Notice how he would demount from...

I am very intrigued by the suzuki b-king, upright standard with a non detuned hayabusa 1300

I haven't dropped it yet so I haven't got my return on investment from those frame sliders. How hard is it really to just grab the bars and pick it up like you would an mx bike. I could get a full size mxer (220 lbs) up at 12 years old. I just can't imagine it being that hard for a grown...

homemade chocolate chip cookies and milk. and a few oreos too.

I ride because I enjoy it. I can't really explain it, it goes far beyond transportation since I usually don't ride to go somewhere. I guess you feel like you beome part of the machine which has far more power than you have. It makes you feel like you have superpowers. I just have far more...

I always negotiate. Well really what I do usually isn't negotiating. I usually get the invoice price online and then go in and tell the dealer what I will buy it for. They usually try to counter but I never budge. They almost always give in. On a bike in the fz price range I usually offer...

I am going to be racing my first year this year in an open wheel winged sprint car. Let me tell you I am concerned about safety, I like racing and I like competition. I don't have any kind of death wish. I want you to think about what you are saying. Let me get this straight you want me or...

1) more comfortable seat 2) lighter throttle effort 3) top gear indicator 4) engine identical to the r6 not just r6 based

I usually put my left foot down but not always. I don't cover the brake. I put both feet down leaving it in 1st watching in the mirrors holding the front brake until a car is stopped behind me, if the car doesn't look like they are going to get stopped which hasn't happened yet I am ready to...

I'm 5'9" and have no trouble with touching the ground. I guess it's all relative with me coming to the street from mx bikes which my last one had a 38" seat height the fz seems comfortable at 31". I don't have to pick which side I want to lean to and which foot to put down. I can very...

I guess I fall into the all year round category by default. I'm not one of those hardcore guys out there in a snowsuit on those 10 degree days but Richmond gets enough 50+ degree days during the winter to be able to ride at least a few days a month during the winter.

Yeah they are all pretty much extreme sidecut these days, there are no straight skis to be found. The new powder skis are close to straight but some of them have 125mm underfoot and are like having pontoons on your feet. For an eastern ski I would look at something like a fischer rx-8, head...
