    Tail Packs - Who uses them? I do!!!!!

    Researched the everloving hell out of bags...these are my hands-down favorites. Expensive though...especially on US sites...but here's the trick: Motorcycle Clothes, Crash Helmets, Boots and Gloves, UK - Custom Lids This site takes off the VAT charges that normally apply in the UK, and...

    New member welcome thread..

    Because I pay so much attention to detail...I completely missed this thread and just introduced myself to everyone the goofy way. Name's Mike, moved back to Atlanta, GA 3 months ago from Greenville, SC. I am currently in Dusseldorf, Germany until November 21 and then I get to come home...

    How Important Are Gloves?

    Gloves are a must have...as aside from the obvious "if something happens at you go down," debris from the road, bugs, rocks...even raindrops feel like needles at 80mph. I personally didn't enjoy spending two hours getting some broken glass out of my knuckles one day:thumbdown:...so I would...

    I'm the **Expletive**

    Being over here in Germany, I'm really starting to appreciate the way they handle road training and traffic laws. A. You've got to go through many levels to get a license...FOR A CAR. If it's a bike you've got to spend years going through the different engine sizes to make your way up to...

    IYO : Which Exhaust sounds best?

    My only quam with this post is that not many have ACTUALLY heard all of these exhausts in person. Most of us have only heard them via You Tube...I need some REAL experience here yo!!! ;) Seriously, most of the posts are going to be biased to the owned equipment or the few that have been...

    New to the Forum

    Cornering at high revs

    You're absolutely right, with the thread taking a different direction we didn't actually answer the original question. In theory with the RPM's higher, and we'll say for s's n g's that the rotating parts are dead smack in the center of gravity (COG), it's going to be harder to turn that baby...

    Cornering at high revs

    Alright...time to get nerdy... So far everyone is pretty much right... The greatest force of resistance in leaning a bike over is the rotational forces of the wheels and everything on them that rotates with it (ie tires, brakes). The heavier your rotating pieces and the faster they are...

    What is safer

    I voted for both...I don't think you should be on the road unless you're paying attention to what's going on around you. :spank: One memory sticks out in my mind most prominently. I was riding my bike up 85 North from Greenville, SC to Charlotte, NC, two lanes with intermediate traffic...

    Your Rider Resume

    I've been riding motorcycles now for about 23 years, finally made the transition form dirt to street 4 years ago when my father handed down his big fatty cruiser. Big change for a guy that loved spitting dirt and throwing the weight around quickly. :rockon: My only road experience thus far has...
