Can't buy the bike guns, but I've got to tell you that Alabama SR-69 South to Norhtport/Tuscaloosa is one of my FAVORITE runs in the country (especially the 15 or so miles just South of Oakman)! My grandparents (both gone now) lived in Northport (I live in metro Detroit) and I'll bet I've run...
"I would say the sliders will help out more times than not. It depends on the type of incident and other variables to complex to ever predict".
Yep, where sliders will help in a driveway or parking lot drop. In a crash, they can actually do more damage (if they, "hook" something they can break...
I'm grateful to have a job in this economy, but it is stressful as we've cut many positions (given the economy) and that has left quite a load on the folks remaining.
Sounds like your buddy pulled the baffles without adjusting the carb - less back pressure, less torque, more noise, more gurgling and more popping.
I just sold my FZ6 and picked up a Honda VTX 1300 Cruiser. Much different kind of ride. I plan to keep it through next season then sell it and...
Sorry about your wreck. Most importantly, you're OK (the bike can be repaired or replaced - you have many years of good times ahead, so don't sweat it)!
On a positive note, your video is very good. What camera and setup are you using? There are many stretches of road I'd like to capture (one...
Some idiot came in our garage and took my jacket and helmet (and other stuff). The bike would have been gone I figure, had it not been blocked by cars.
What I meant was that the 60K (miles) I have on the car would equate to about 90K on the bike - several more service intervals - or looking at it the other way, a much wider service interval for the car.
Actually, it's a quite bit more. I'm dealing with both this year. My car's first, "major" is coming up as well and I'm looking at about $300-$500. I presume you're talking KM's so that would be 90,000.
Yep, and many times, one can predict WHAT they're going to do. When passing an on ramp on a freeway and there is a car entering the road, PLAN on them cutting you off regardless of the lane your in. Recently, I had a woman (on a cell phone) enter the freeway (three lanes, I had moved to the...
Finally, someone else sees the stupidity of burnouts. Whenever I see one in progress I think (and hope) how fun it would be if that rear wheel would just, "catch". Wheelies as well. Getting caught doing one of these on a public road should be a license suspending event complete with a fine...
You've already got a problem. If he was an upstanding dude, he would have already begun the repair process without your input. This may sound cold, but if I dropped someone's bike (loaned to me), I'd return it as received.
Update - I just read Marthy's comment - honest, posted mine before I...
...garage door opener (open the door when I get to my next door neighbor's house, the up the drive and into the garage and close the door. Like Batman).
