Got the chance to give a Victory a try. First time on one, and a touring model at that. All in all, I really didn't expect too much, but I'll admit that it was a surprisingly good ride. Friggin' thing also has more storage than I've ever seen on a bike. Episode 9: 2012 Victory Cross Country...

You are correct and I agree. And I wasn't expecting kudos or anything of the sort. Maybe a laugh or two, a little finger waggling, or someone calling me an idiot (to be expected). I do know that what I did was not the best idea, but I just got a wild hair and hammered on the throttle. We've all...

Hooray... I've been lectured. Fully noted. Ok. Fine. Maybe I was a little to rash in calling this person names. And yes, I will fully take all responsibility for the situation based on the speed that I was going. I just saw an opportunity to open it up, so I did. A bad decision? Sure. Was it...

Actually, it was something of a forced lane split. While going down the interstate near where I work, got a nice open patch of road and opened up the throttle. Being that the speed limit is 70, I wasn't going quite twice as fast. Keeping my eyes open to other cars up ahead, I do see a few...

Welcome and congrats on the new ride. :thumbup: :needpics:

I think that at sometime or another, we've all probably found ourselves in a similar situation. I know I've had my fair share. It's easy to get miffed at someone when it seems like they're being disrespectful or rude while on the road. When in situations like that, I really try (more successful...

Ugh... sorry to hear about the spill. Sometimes it can be the most mundane and simplest of situations that catch you off guard. Heal up quickly and get back to riding soon!

Luckily, I haven't ever gotten a ticket on any of my bikes. Oh, I was pulled over once for doing nearly 60 in a 35 through the research park area near where I live. It's all a big circular area that's fun to kick it in sometimes on the way to work. Came up on my favorite part, looked around to...

Congrats on getting your FZ6. That's the same year and color as the one I had. Great bike. And yeah, tire pressure can make a tremendous difference in handling/turning. Glad that you got the bike and the issue worked out.

The crew and I had the chance to take a crack at and test our skill on Barber Motorsports Park track for the very first time. I tell you, it's probably one of the best tracks that I've had the chance to ride. Can't wait to go back. Episode 8: Barber Motorsports Park Again, for those of you...

If it's possible, I think that this might be your best (and possibly last) option.

I leave mine in gear even while in the garage. I always have friends/family over and we almost always end up in the garage. At some point, someone is likely to lean up on, bump up against the bike, or whatever. Heck, even I bump up against my bike sometimes. The last thing that I want is for a...

I'm with the previous posters. Dump it and get some new fluid. Like Marthy said, brake fluid is a moisture magnet. Unless it's sealed, it most likely will have absorbed some water and lessened its effectiveness. It doesn't cost that much and is definitely worth doing right. Especially when it...

Although there have been a few bikes in between, I eventually upgraded to my Kawasaki Z1000. I like the naked look to the bike, plus the power that it kicks out. It's a fun, crazy fast bike, and it just feels right.

Well yes, I suppose that you're correct in that respect. Or... or! You could leave it in gear while parked, but then pop into neutral before you start it. At least that's what I do. Flat ground or not, I do not trust any situation that might cause my bike to roll while on its stand. I've seen...

Alrighty then. After taking the Winter off (and much of Spring), we've released the latest episode. In this one, we got our hands on a brand new 2012 Kawasaki Ninja 250. Although typically considered a starter bike, this machine will put a smile on your face while leaving a bit of change in your...

I don't always post up Tech Tips when they are released, but we've had quite a few requests for this one. TopEnd.tv - Tech Tips - Setting Suspension

Those jackets are cool and can definitely be helpful in a crash. They've been around for quite a while now. Knowing me thought, I'd inadvertently set one off. I can see it now. Get off the bike, forget to disengage the hook, "Poof!" Stay Puff Marshmallow Man! :D

Seriously, really hate to hear about the spill. Ouch! Heal up quickly and get back on that bike!
