    Triumph Sprint ST

    I rode a Sprint ST for about 20 minutes on a combination of back roads and highways around Jacksonville FL. I found it was a more committed riding position than the FZ but I found it quite comfortable. It is definitely on the sport side of "sport touring" but it is a bike that I could ride all...

    Why do you work on your bike by yourself ?

    I am a mechanic. Unless I need a bunch of expensive special tools I will handle everything myself. After I had my rims scratched by the only "trusted" local shop I started saving for a NoMar tire changer and balancer so I wouldn't have to outsource that any more.

    Is this the Helmet of the future?

    Yup, the Wife and I signed up last night. I just hope that the software allows you to change the name from Skully to Jarvis.

    AGV Horizon vs Scorpion Exo-1100 ?

    You are right it is a 1000, sorry about that, but I still will never get another Scorpion product. If I had abused the lid I would not be so hard on it but it has lived a good life.

    AGV Horizon vs Scorpion Exo-1100 ?

    I have a exo 1000 and it has been my experience that it is very cheaply constructed. I originally purchased it because of its features (Speedview visor, composite construction, and low price) but immediately ran into problems. The first one I ran into was the cut outs for the ears. They are...

    Curious. ABS installation. Can it be done?

    I recieved a masters level class in ABS vs non ABS this summer. My wife and I were riding on the East 295 loop in Jacksonville when a summer storm blew up. If you ride down here in the summer you will get caught in a bunch of them. So I was on the 09 FZ6 and she on the 11 Vstrom ABS. The wife...
