    Best roads in the upstate

    Like he said, we're always learning. I never leave anybody behind, for long that is... I always wait up at a turn or after a really fast section. I work by the Bi-Lo trucking center & Dukes Mayo. I really don't get into Mauldin much at all, since i live in Cleveland, near the Jones Gap...

    Best roads in the upstate

    Working in Mauldin, I've tried finding some roads, but haven't been able to really find anything to cut loose on. Too many driveways on curve exits...

    Best roads in the upstate

    One of my favorite roads, that isn't travelled a whole lot, is the Greenville watershed up to and around Saluda. I never get tired of riding it, and I found some new backroads last year that are a lot of fun too. 178 to 215 to 276 and ride it all the way back :rockon: We usually only stop...

    Fresh paint right out of the body shop!!!

    dang vader...pulling a thread from the archives ;) Sweet bike though. I originally wanted a red one, but dont' like the dark red (burgandy!?!) that Yamaha paints it. Sorry guys, it's just not for me... Same with the new dark blue :confused:

    Downshifting

    I"ll usually shift to the appropriate gear per my speed as well. As for shifting all the way at once right before stopping, that is what the owners manual says to do :confused: . I don't like it, and sometimes it'll get stuck kinda until you move the bike or let the clutch out a little...

    Boot suggestions?

    can't go wrong with Alpinestars :rockon: I've got about 10,000 miles on these now and love them! Daily commuter & fun rides. http://www.alpinestars.com/Web_Goretex_Boot/pd/np/113/p/233507.html These are a touch cheaper, but still great boots I'm sure...

    Conti Road Attack 4,000 mile review

    yeah, scallopping. It is just barely noticable. and I'm pretty sure it's because of the way I ride and the tread design.

    I don't know. I just always grew up riding, and she knows it is pretty much a guy thing I guess. I also promised to buy him all the protective gear. She mostly understands the physics of how much safer a bike is than a quad too. :thumbup: I also tried explaining how much they learn from having...

    Tire Recommendation

    Maybe you should look in the tire thread? Each tire is a little different, but Continental Road Attacks, Michelin Pilot Road 2, and the Bridgeston BT018 seem to be the most popular for this bike right now for your style use.

    Conti Road Attack 4,000 mile review

    Just wanted to give a shout out and let all know that I'm still VERY happy with these tires. I have 4,000 miles on them now, and they are wearing pretty well. Rear are about half spent, which is what I'd expect. Front is wearing a little weird, with a few high-spots and low-spots around...

    That little 65 Cam's on is like a lightswitch. It is wicked fast, and it is still stock! Just starting out, a REALLY good bike for size, reliability, and maintenance is the Honda XR70 (3 spd. no clutch) or XR80 (5 spd. clutch). I think they still make both of them new as the CRF instead of...

    I was thinking the same thing, but found discounts for $3 off per ticket, and Sunday was family day that kids got in free :thumbup:. I paid a total of $13 for all 5 of us to go to the show and park.

    Thanks. Many people will try to debate it, but bikes are way safer than quads, esp. for kids. Numbers prove it if you can find them. We've been riding since my oldest, now 12, turned 5 years old. We've had 1 major injury, and it was a very fluke accident, but partially my fault for letting...

    Two Bros.Installed

    Couple Q for ya: 1) Why did you take them off? or why are you selling them? 2) What does it sound like with them installed? Is it a big difference, or you can just barely tell they're in there? Does it deepen the tone a little?
