Switching from 1st into 2nd @ high RPMs on my VFR is almost always unsuccessful :/

Hey people - I was gonna post this on the local Southwest subforum but it looked pretty dead so if you guys don't mind, I'll leave this thread in the most popular forum so that as many people as possible can see it! Here's the link to the actual thread Need a witness to an accident -...

According to reliable sources who chose to remain anonymous, as of Monday March 14 the Facebook "Like" button will be replaced by a "Winning" button. Facebook has allocated some emergency gold funds to handle this radical change of such epic proportions.

If you mean pushing the front in a corner - I've done it many times on the track but it's always been unintentional mostly being caused by cold tires or rider error i.e. being too late on the throttle and using too much engine braking when I'm already leaned over which in turn is caused by not...

Hahaha that made me chuckle ... real hard ... actually I laughed out loud ... :D

1. When I wrote my post I never targeted it to you specifically. Just making this clear. 2. When I said that I refuse to be pulled over I didn't mean it literally. I obviously don't want to end up in a hot pursuit followed by criminal charges and whatnot. I do know that not stopping is not the...

I refuse to be pulled over for no reason and without doing anything wrong. Each and every traffic stop that has been done without any justification whatsoever is a blatant violation of our rights. Being ok with this nonsense is the same as giving up your freedom and telling the government that...

After I got rearended and my was FZ totaled, I moved up to a VFR and I've gotta say that thing was an amazing overall upgrade especially in comfort. I'm 6'6" myself and on the FZ6 my knees and ass were killing me after 300 miles even with the TS custom seat. The VFR tells a whole different...

hahaha just saw it on break.com and when I saw the title of the thread I knew what it was all about :D That's called riding in style :BLAA:

If I had the extra cash laying around I'd definitely get one.

Arai Clearance Items are available at Competition Accessories at greatly reduced prices! Thought I'd give you guys heads-up. I've been meaning to get an Arai Profile in ages but I could never justify the $500-$600-$700 price tag. I got this link in my mailbox this morning and decided to pull...

I never cover any of my controls other than the clipons/handlebar and the throttle. I don't see any benefits of covering the brakes/clutch. I've been in my share of hairy situations and I don't think the 0.0000002 of a millisecond makes any difference whatsoever. That's just me tho. I only...

I've done it all - from the casual drop at the gas station, to the mild crash due to tire lock while coming to a stop in the rain (in my defense that was a couple of weeks after I started riding :BLAA:), to being over my head on the street and hitting a guardrail while going wide on a downhill...

My super sexy single-sided swingarm :)

^^ I wasn't clear what I mean by "populated areas". Populated areas to me are very densely populated areas like the burbs or downtown where there are parked cars on both sides of the road and anyone can jump in front of you at any given time. In all other areas (provided that there are no people...

I think here in MA you only get in trouble for double the speed limit. I've been pulled over 8 or 9 times last year alone (80% of the time it's for 25-30mph over the limit) and I always get away with warnings (except once in upstate NY where I got a ticket for 30 over which resulted in a $700...

It's easy to forget that Yamaha was the biggest piece of **** in the paddock. Yes, an even bigger piece of **** that the Duc. It was the bike that nobody wanted to race and everybody was passing. But then Rossi showed up and together with Burgess made it the bike it is today, winning 4...

^^ yeah, it's basically identical in severity as having exposed fracture and damaged tendon + shoulder joint and needing surgeries to fix these injuries. I mean I don't blame Stoner for crying like a little baby - diarrhea can be a real bitch sometimes. Shoulders and legs are overrated when it...
