    Car parks 4" from bike... what is that all about?

    bro, 4" is alot of room. Try parking in NYC for a day. with a cage, it's almost mandatory that you fulfill the full terminology of the "bumper" to get a spot on most streets. Avenues tend to have much more widely spaced parking, and recent meter installations have been well spread out to try...

    Post your BOTM pic here for October!

    Taken a few hours ago. Just found this place today. Hopefully I'll get there for sunrise one day. Once again, the police don't like the whole "Motorcycle on the sidewalk" thing. Worth it I thought and if you're wondering, "what's that weird rust colored thing behind the bike?" I am not...

    Triumph announces up-spec 675cc Street Triple 'R'

    The R model is slated to have the suspension and brakes direct from the Daytona 675, with a slightly less detuned engine, than the current Street. Being that the ONLY semi-negative information anyone has on the Street is "it could have better suspension", this is sure to be one INSANE ride!

    What helmet should I upgrade to? I have the HJC-CSR1 now and I hate it...

    Try it on, but I'm about to pickup a Shoei RF-1000 as soon as my last paycheck clears. Parts411.com Product sku is is 3 portions xx-yyyyyy-zzz. If you put the yyyyy portion in as a comment during checkout, the 400+ dollar helmet comes down to 275!

    Front Sprocket

    Re: Front Sprocket Change It doesn't change the torque delivered, it just makes the torque applied at a lower rpm. I'm not sure the exact figure, but since you're revving the engine higher to hit the same speeds, you are likely to spend more time in the powerband, and thus feel more torque...

    Bat Man is on the dark side

    how about the MV that bruce wayne used? Pretty sweet! and, was it just me, or was the batcycle front wheel drive? OR both? Sorta looked weird to me, to see the front wheel powering as batman tried to separate...or that may have been just to show a wheel spinning, with the back too hard to do...

    Lets try to do something good.

    People don't get pulled over, unless they're noticeably drunk, or have hit something. Is it worth it for the thousands who say, I'm chill to drive, but aren't, for the smaller number who are? Same with phones, there are those who can make it work while driving, and there are those who lose...

    Red vs Blue

    Black is scientificically the fastest, as the light is being 100% absorbed by it, and therefore all visible light waves are powering it more. The red is slowest, as the red to infrared waves it gathers have longer wavelengths, and therefore smaller wave speeds. The blue is faster than the read...
