    Hardest technique to master?

    I have read about and practiced the drills for increasing your 'wide screen awarness' and they did help but to be honest nothing has helped me more than playing video games. The trick is to have a large enough tv where you can sit close enough that the edges are in your peripheral vision only...

    Perforating my leather jacket

    I would be very scared of compromising the tensile strength of your leather jacket this way. They could theoretically use a lower quality leather for non-perf jackets and still get reasonable strength from the material and use a higher quality for perf leather. I honestly don't know if this is...

    Misti here saying hello!

    When I first got my bike I had the same issues since the MSF course doesnt really cover downshifting and the bikes don't have enough power to cause any real issues. Just remember when you are say upshifting from 3rd at 8k rpms into 4th the rpms fall 3k to 4 k. So when downshiftting at a...

    Accountability

    I have been offered federal government jobs many times and this is why I continue to turn them down.

    chatter from front brakes

    I currently have the same problem. Mine started shortly after I switched over to R6 forks so I was very concerned. I went back over everything with a fine tooth comb and couldn't find any issues with the brakes or forks themselves. The front end suspension also feels rock solid so I don't...

    Pirelli Diablo's a good buy?

    I mainly commute but I have roughly 20,000 miles on my PR2s... They still have plenty of traction left but I will prob have to replace soon due to cupping.

    Digital camera help.

    If you are looking into buying one you may want to check out quibids.com. It is a weird system so make sure you understand it fully before you use it. It costs .60 cents to place a single bid and the item price is only incremented one unit (typically .01 to .02) and increases the time left on...

    Speaking of presents ...

    I had older brothers so I knew pretty early on. After we knew about Santa it became more of a game to find where the presents were hidden. First it was the attic, too easy. Then they stayed in the garage's attic, tougher because required a ladder. Then it was the cars trunk. Next they tried...

    Where do you ride in relation to another biker in front of you?

    Road and traffic conditions along with inputs from the rider in front of you should dictate where you ride. Typically staggered is the best option but be careful you don't look to far ahead of the rider and start following too close. If conditions are bad or you get the feeling the rider in...

    Advisability of occassional riding

    Several people have spoken about it but I want to say it again because it is that important. LIFE INSURANCE. With two kids you should be carrying a ridiculous policy. Enough money to pay off the entire families debts plus whatever would be necessary for your family to contiue living the same...

    Skilled but Insane & Stuuupid

    Call of duty 6: Modern Warfare 2.

    How long has it been since you played a FPS on a console? The left stick functions as the arrow keys and the right stick as the mouse. Been that way since Halo.

    Do NOT try this at home...

    Videos like this remind me why I drive an SUV on my non-ridings days. "Hey that guy in front of us is stunting on the highway you should give him lots of room" "Why?" I think it is amazing what people like this can do on motorcycles but I have no respect for them when they are on a public...

    Top gun competition

    I've decided if I could afford a bike to crash while practicing(or had one given to me) I would be a much better rider.

    Aftermarket exhaust & Soft Luggage?

    most soft luggage has a felt liek substance on the side to help with the heat... just watch out for any plastic edging on the bags as that is what will melt.

    Senior Design: Design and Build a Trailer to be Pulled Behind a FZ6

    Don't forget to factor in the shifting water (melted ice) in your cooler. Depnding on the amount it could cause significant shifts in weight distribution.

    Sell the FZ for an R1, or just have 2?

    Take the amount of miles you put on your bike a year and divide that by two. Does it warrant two bikes?
