    Got my first pull over this weekend.

    Sounds like it pays off to be nice. Also depends alot on the cop. I got pulled over the other day doing over 90 in a 55. He clocked me at 90 and wrote me for 79. I figured it didn't matter how nice I was or what I did I wasn't going to get out of that one!

    Awesome Ride!!

    Just rode through it again going the other way. The ice and snow is starting to melt away quickly.... also alot more people around. Still a great ride nonetheless!! Elevation up around 8000 ft I think.

    Awesome Ride!!

    Haven't done this before but I really couldn't help to want to share this with you guys. I headed from Susanville, CA (my hometown) to Redding, CA (where my dad lives) yesterday. I've always just taken Hwy 44 straight here but I decided to go see the Lassen Volcanic National Park on my way down...

    Helmet Choices

    I have a shoei rf-1000 and am very happy with it. I liked the features of other brands but they didnt fit me right. IMO its more important to have a helmet that fits correctly than one that looks cool but doesnt fit right.

    Interesting traffic violation (STUPID)

    That is one of the most ridiculous things I've heard of. I would most certainly contest this ticket. IMO this cop was just having a bad day and wanted to make himself feel better by screwing up someones day. I can't stand cops who just seem to want to get back at the world. You should take...

    Do you Lane Split

    Its not legal here in NV but if traffic is not cooperating I'll slip through them. I usually stay in my lane and just find openings between lanes to make my way up. Once I get in CA then its a different story.

    Tranny problem

    This is normal for these motorcycles unfortunately. You might check your chain tension. If your chain is looser than spec then it may make the jolt worse. Other than that its normal.

    Tire Repair Kit

    I got this kit for mine right after I bought it just in case I ever get a flat or anyone I'm riding with gets a flat or heck even if a rider anywhere I see has a flat. It comes with everything you need to fix most minor tire damages. You can fit the majority of the kit in the bag that is...

    For those in the military...

    Thanks for the input guys. I have all my paperwork taken care of, just waiting on the Dr. Appt on tuesday so he can get me a "super sugared up beautiful" letter. This will greatly increase my chances of being accepted. If we were to submit everything right now it would be about 50/50. But with...

    For those in the military...

    Thanks everyone. I appreciate the input. Two of my best friends just made it through basic in the USMC and are now going to SOI. One is going to be a helicopter mech and the other a equipment operator. Those would be good jobs for the future but im looking for something that I can experience...

    Clean and Lube Chain

    +1 Nelly. I remember seeing one posted on here from another forum from someone who lost fingers cleaning the chain while it was in gear. I've smashed my finger pretty hard just moving the tire and not getting my fingers out of the way. I can't imagine what its like seeing your fingers pop off...

    Problems downshifting (mechanical)

    Thanks guys. I'm probably going to buy a new clutch this winter, ive been kinda rough on this one and its starting to show. Hopefully the combo of the new clutch and cables along with checking the internals on the shifter should solve it.

    Problems downshifting (mechanical)

    Well even though its not really riding season up here anymore I'd like to try and get my bike lined out for next year so I don't have to waste riding time working on it. On the last few rides I went on, my shifting has gotten worse and worse. When I downshift the shifter does not return and...

    Alarms?

    I bought the Scorpio sr-i900 alarm and am very happy with it. The link posted previously will tell you all about it. Install is fairly simple. You can leave your bike unattended and know its safe. If anyone stands near the bike it will beep and if someone moves closer it beeps faster and faster...

    Airbox mod

    When I did mine it definitely gave it a healthier tone. I didn't really notice much difference in power, a minimal gain if any. If you decide to do it, there are tons of members who have posted how-tos, including me, to give you a good reference of how to go about it. Also, if you decide to mod...

    How much is it worth

    Well if I were you I would never sell it!! But if you had to with the way the economy is and it being winter you would end up getting much less than what its worth. Its hard to say what the value would be on it with all the accesories. You can check ebay or craigslist to see what they are...
