    Why we are doomed to fail...

    Sorry in advance for this long rant. I am having a harder and harder time with just how greedy we are in the US. I mean everywhere I look, someone is trying to squeeze the last red cent out of someone else. It goes on almost unnoticed by most and it is starting to make me serious consider the...

    Advice needed...Shipping Hornet from UK

    I've been back and forth with a Honda dealer in UK who has a 2009 CB900F in a burnt orange color with a blacked out engine. As I haven't seen this color combo, I am thinking it's only on 2009's as they stopped production. Here's the thing. I can ship it here, no problem. However, my fear...

    This is very interesting...FZ8 for $6,400

    As I am in the market, I saw this ad on cycletrader. I know Island Powersport and wonder if they are willing to do the FZ8 OTD for $6,400 plus tax. FZ8 That is a fantastic price, unless I am missing something. FZ8 is the new FZ6. FZ6R is junk, IMO.

    What would you do...just came into some money

    I am determined to ride this season and for the foreseeable future no matter what the doctor tells me. Here's the thing. I was involved in a minor accident with a drunk driver who is kinda loaded. He didn't want to go through insurance as he was bombed. I've got it all on video. He knows...

    Where to you guys draw your power

    Where to you guys draw your power for your GiPro and various other goodies. I'd rather not have it drain while off so I have it going to the rear brake light. And a Moronhealer is on it's way so I don't have to do math while riding.;) Any other bright ideas where I should clip into?

    Still can't ride even after back surgery....

    Well, some of you may know I had surgery last year. Missed the entire season. Doc said I was cleared to ride, but I still have terrible pain in lower back area after a long ride (50-100 miles). As such, I've listed her for sale, but the thing is I feel as if I haven't done everything I...

    My heated grips no longer work, so...

    After my back surgery, I'm BACK

    Had to give up riding for a season to allow the back to heal. (No, I wasn't in an accident; had nerve damage and compressed lumbar) Finally got the doc's ok (begrudgingly, mind you) to ride again. So, I am excited to say the least. Anyway, I've got some money to spend, so I thought I'd ask...

    FS: OEM muffler with plastic muffler cover

    In cleaning out the garage, I stumbled on this. Haven't seen it since I swapped the OE for the Two Bros. I have seen these go for $75 here, so I figure $50, plus shipping should do it. If you'd be willing to come by, I could knock off a few bucks. Saves me the hassle of having to pack it...

    Anyone know a substitute for this bulb?

    Only bulb I can find are from UK sites. Don't know why, but if anyone knows of a US substitute, please let me know. I blew the left one and don't want to push my luck riding without it for too long. Just so you know, I bought this bike with the FE kit already installed. Original owner...
