As other people said, go with what you're comfortable with. Props to Shamus McFeeley for link. Was going to post the same thing before I saw that. Personally, I'm comfortable only when I get a hell of a deal... so I researched the whole oil conundrum for months before I even got my bike. I...

You should probably put your money where your mouth is. :D Seriously, I echo the comments of a few others about getting out of cali. Yes... you used to make a lot more money in Cali compared to the rest of the country. That means squat when you're out of a job. Yes, your house used to be...

What kind of gas do you use? My old bike would give me valve noise when I used the cheap gas. Switching to premium helped. I'd say give that a try.

Re: Has Rotella T 5W-40 formula changed? Yes. That is ok. Essentially, my point was that any version of Shell Rotella T is fine. Old, or new. The new formula everybody was worried about, but it just turned out to be an improvement.

I will say that I loathe the Do-it-yourself page builder templates. GoDaddy has a better one than most, but you really do lose a lot of flexibility. The more you learn about web development, the more you'll see that GoDaddy is probably not the best host for a really well customized website...

Thanks guys! Another bonus to buy one online is I save another $23 on sales tax. :) It's almost as good as a geico commercial.

Anyone know where I can find a good deal on a Shoei RF-1000 helmet? Matte black is fine with me. The local dealer wants $400+ for it. I'd like to get a better deal, but I'm also looking for somebody reputable.

Re: Has Rotella T 5W-40 formula changed? Ironic... this very topic came up with one of my riding buddies on friday when I was getting my bike out of storage. Here's a link that should clear up the confusion. This was posted last summer, so the 'soon to be introduced' oil is the one you're...

I like the second part (make sure that I am safe) but the first part worries me. Just make sure the other drivers have enough time to react. It's good to be decisive, but not at the expense of safety. I do a lot of highway miles, and I think it's dangerous when people put their signal on the...

Heh, yep. I love VBulletin. Been using it for years on a gaming website I run. I bet you guys also didn't know you can change the forum style. Scroll down to the bottom left of the page and look for a little drop down box. It probably says --MNS7. There's also an --UndergroundStyle that...

It means two things. 1. It's a 'hot' thread. (More than 15 replies or 150 views) That is why it's a red color. Non-hot threads are blue. 2. It means you have posted in this thread. That's where the little arrow comes in. I run a VBulletin forum elsewhere. :) If you scroll to the...

Thanks for the credits! I think I have enough now for 50 years worth of blackjack. heh. Or at least enough to keep me going until spring when I can finally get the bike out of storage.

I can respect that point of view. However in this specific case, I don't believe there's anything to complain about. The guy was carrying 10 kilos, and had placed it in two 'hidden compartments'. After further research it seems like they were underneath some body panels on either side of...

Did you even read the story? Sorry... I can't see any problem with that at all.

Woo! Now I have something to do to pass the time until spring. :thumbup: Thank you! I was getting sick of centipede-on-crack in the arcade anyway. Seriously... the original wasn't nearly as fast paced. :) -TK

100 million? How the heck did you guys get so much? 14,000 is not NEARLY enough for me to feed my blackjack habit. :rockon: -TK

Nowhere in the video does the instructor tell him how to use the brake. :spank: It sounds like he had the clutch in... otherwise all that throttle would have shot him THROUGH the wall... I think he managed to hit the kill switch before he hit the wall at least. Not that it did him any...

I went through some flight training and I had a really wise instructor once tell me that I needed to stay 'in front' of the plane. Same applies to the bike. Know where you are going before you get there. Always make sure your mind is ahead of your bike. You NEVER want to be in a situation...

It really is going to depend on the state. Here in Pennsylvania, you can take a written test to get your permit, and hop on a 1,250cc V-Rod for the ride home. The permit is good for 6 months but only in daytime riding conditions. However, you can renew your permit indefinitely. So you...

I loaded mine into the back of a pickup truck and got it home that way. I'm very picky when it comes to proper break-in and all that. The dealer I got it from was pretty far from my house (but I saved over $800 in the process) so I didn't want to drive it home. I did an oil/filter change at...
