    Thank you MSF

    While we have had discussions about the side benefit of an aftermarket louder exhaust I have have made a few observations this year. I have noticed that Canadian geese do not like the sound of the 2 Bro especially combined with my Stebel Nautilus. This morning on my ride to work I saw a doe...

    just getting a minor incident off my chest

    We are in Fall in the Midwest and have had our share of wet weather lately. Yesterday morning on the ride to work I turned out of my driveway and felt the rear slide out a bit - wet leaves. These low speed reminders are great for shuffling a few seasonal thoughts back up to the front of the...

    Pulled over for a road side inspection...

    Terrific photos! I would definitely enter the BOM contest, I especially enjoyed the fender tasting pic. :thumbup:

    Has this been a typical year?

    If your Moto v ditch dude wasn't wearing a helmet, he probably wasn't wearing a $500 suit. That said, if I am lying down and you show up to help me, I am not going be worried about a $500 suit (should I have one), as I would be grateful to see you. Instead, I would be asking myself if I had a...

    Has this been a typical year?

    Maybe it's me, but it seems like there has been no shortage of stories of accidents and mishaps of all degrees and severity this year. I find myself reading each account to understand the situation and fiqure out if I would have reacted differently, or maybe avoided the circumstances...

    No more cageless living

    I really do love the lines on that car and you know that there are numerous folks working on some performance bits. It's too bad that the great state of New Joizy requires a front plate, I have always hated front license plates, but in your case it really distorts the look. I imagine that...

    First "real" bike

    :welcome: To the Forum +1^^^ I also started in the dirt and while your experience is invaluable, street riding in today's environment demands much more concentration to stay safe and enjoy your ride. After all, that's what it's all about right? I would not wait to take the MSF course...

    Hello. Heck of a way to introduce myself...

    :welcome: TO THE BEST FORUM AROUND!! Now while your replacing the parts I would recommend some higher quality frame sliders. They may help in the future. Just sayin..:D

    What is your default lane position and why?

    I thought about posting this poll previously, but I was sure it must have been done before. I'm glad that you have. Anyway, my .02$, I prefer to ride left of center for a couple of reasons. I prefer to let the vehicle that I may be following know that I am there, I prefer to "drive" through the...

    I've got a loooong way to go

    I would not beat yourself up too much about it. Remember Paul Newman?, I know his passion was not motorcycles, but he didn't start racing until he was in his 40's and he went on to much success. He initially learned his craft in a formula ford, which is a small open wheeled car. My point is, not...

    How to Crash your Bike ,Then someone elses

    Only if mounts his camera on the dash. (His nickname should be CRASH, but sooner or later his leathers will wear a little thin). He stated that the road was slippery...so that means go faster and grab more front brake! Right? :spank: I did not recognize the street signs and speed limits...

    This Russian must be a professional acrobat to crash like this

    You gotta love the Russian dash cams :spank: and their reactions, I just wish I could understand them. :don'tknow:

    First crash EVER, in ~26 years of riding

    That's it in a nutshell. You have answered your internal question of what a low side might be like and at a pretty good rate of speed I might add. Glad your ok, however, you may gotten a little sore when your body gets control of your mind a day or two later. :eek:

    Handlebar / Throttle Holder

    I swapped my stock bars for the FZ-1, but I elected to drill a hole into the bar to accept the tab from the housing. It is really not that difficult. When you replaced the throttle grip, you must make sure it is not snugged up to the housing, otherwise you may have some throttle sticking issues...

    Brother in Ontario

    Please accept my most sincere condolences to you, your family and friends. We never really think about how many lives are all interconnected and affected by such a tragedy. Stay strong for those who need it most and remember he really was a hero... Ken

    No offense intended.......:spank: The female dentist pulls out a numbing needle to give the man a shot of Novocain. "No way! No needles. I hate needles" the patient said.. The dentist starts to hook up the nitrous oxide and the man objects.. "I can't do the gas thing. The thought of...
