    Which brake to use?

    I find the rear to lock so easy that I avoid it alot. coming up to a stop from a slow pace (under 40km/h) I use the rear as its much smoother. In a true emergency I do use it, but I do not push on it even close to its threshold. I will pull on the front right up to its limits, and put...

    Newbie leather VS Textile??

    That kevlar website has really opened my eyes. I am truly regretful spending $988 on my Dainese leather jacket, as that Air mesh jacket seems exactly what I truly need (i spent so much on my jacket I dont want to get stuck in rain and ruin it, so I have to bring a rain jacket with me) Savin the...

    Good Alberta Rides

    Yup, I love 22x to 762. after that so many options, you can go along the 549 after and then head to turner valley and longview along the cowboy trail (black diamond hotel has the best food in alberta) just before longview, you can jump on the Highwood Trail and wayyyyyyyy out to the mountains...

    Newbie leather VS Textile??

    I had a ****ty old leather jacket once, and it was ready to be chucked. My friend crashed in his Joe Rocket Meteor 6 jacket and when recovered he was amazed at how a 20km/h fall could rip his left arm to SHREDS when he slid less than 40feet (very generous estimate for doubts sake, it was really...

    Beginner Parking Question

    as long as we're asking stupid parking questions, I too am new to biking and was wondering about the ettiquette for bike parking. In a parking lot, I have just been angling across the stall at the very front of the stall (so people dont think its empty and pull in and hit my bike) Do youguys...

    question about riding pants

    I rock the Joe Rocket Alter ego pants all day long. they have full zippers up the sides of the leg so you canEASILY toss them on over jeans, shorts or a bathing suit and still have full protection. also while riding if its really hot you can just open up the sides a few inches from the top...

    Top Saddlery Buyers Remorse

    Thanks for being honest on here man! Its too bad its not working for you. It seems to have the right idea of what im looking for; to get pushed into a bit more of a crouch with less train on the bike (for high wind superslab trips) but the lack of any flat part really surprises me! toss her up...

    frame paint code (OEM code)

    depends what shop you go to. motorcycles do not have typcial universal paint codes cars have. When spraying PPG my code comes up with 0996 (same as the colorbrite swatch) but when I switch over to Glasurit the code does not exist in their system. Same goes for Sikkens etc etc etc best bet will...

    Bohn Cool Air Bodyguard Adventure Pants

    ATGATT needs one more letter. ATPGATT All the PROPER gear, all the time. I keep hearing people talk about ATGATT while wearing their mesh jackets, summer shorty gloves and half boots.... above 50km/h you might as well just have gone in a tshirt and helmet :squid:

    Grrr

    avoiding i guess shouldnt be said. in the city noone will even touch their prices on any machine and they are fantastic for Dainese equipment and tires.

    Another Matris M3

    To you personally, how important are one of these? im very intrigued by them but a little worried my money could be better spent, such as an R6 fork mod which is also supposed to be a "must do"

    Another Matris M3

    how much do these affect low speed manouvers? do you need to really muscle the bars when slow?

    Grrr

    ya I contacted seitzco (was also reffered by a co-worker) and any dealership can backup a warranty. Booked in and they are 200 bucks cheaper!

    How NOT to do an oil change

    From a person with TONS of cracked oil pan experience there is a far easier way to fix it. In the VW scene low is better and ive had my fair share of cars that have frame laying withing 4 inches of the ground at all times. that leaves oil pans about 2 inches off. anyhow, rather than replacing...

    i scratched my whole bike using this!

    almost all of that will polish out. but leave it to the pros, this isnt a driveway DIY as plastics are very easy to burn through using a high speed orbiting polisher remember: only microfibre cloths and a wash mitt should ever touch paint

    Whats the best you have taken home from a MSF course?

    While im the furthest thing from a track expert and have very little experience on motorcycles at all, I would to point out that it is exactly what Hough printed in his book and all physics back it up. with the throttle closed the suspension is sitting further down than if you have the throttle...

    Paint problem

    it DOES HAVE CLEARCOAT. I rest my case regarding the lack of knowledge and lies being spread about refinishing. if it didnt have clearcoat, the paint would fall off and you would have factory Ecoat. nothing else. There are matting agents along with elastifier additives you can add into the...
