turns

So as i understand it the reasoning behind the two different bulbs is so that when you change the lights the second one turns on and turns on the high beam on the main light. So instead i think ill buy 2 h4 led bulbs and cross the low beam into the other side so i have 2 active lows and...

So on a recent several-day trip to northern California (heavily loaded) I noticed a grinding sound on a lot of tight corners. I kept pulling over to see what was touching (because it's not the pegs), and couldn't figure it out. My best guess was the sidestand, so I had been focusing on that as a...

I may not be a cop, but I can sure ride like one. The local Sheriff's Motors Unit offered an advanced Motor's class to us civilians. One day, 8 hours, mostly riding around a bunch of cones. The same patterns and dimensions that the officers must get certified in order for them to ride...

Picked this up last week. Immediately replaced all of the fluids and plugs. Took it out today for a canyon trip to scrub the edge of the tires in. Wasn't a great day. The road I picked (a new one for me) was damn awful. Literally everything that could've gone wrong with the road did. Piles...

Rode ~260 miles of really twisted roads this past weekend and when we stopped I noticed the front tire of the Triumph 675 had maybe used 2/3 of the tire while the back was like mine with maybe an 1/4" of chicken. The Two FZs and the Brutale had used much more of the front tire. Point: is the...

Wondering (prompted by Love@firstride's accident) whether it's just me who thinks swan-necking on turns is getting more prevalent? Do I notice it more now because I'm on a bike and it could cause me an off, or has it always been like this? The number of car drivers who take (for us in the UK...

It's been way too long for me! My bike was broken. I got the parts and fixed it. I'm missing my steady partners in the turns. It's been a while since we've ridden Idyllwild! We can meet in Mira Mesa. Head up the 15 Freeway and start our route through Temecula on 79 to Aguanga where we'll pick up...

I took my bike (5k miles on odometer) to the shop the other day. There were two areas of concern: FIRST, the rear end would sporadically become 'light' on right hand turns. It was an unnerving feeling like the rear tire was gliding. I was not flying through turns or using the back brake, and...

I've been noticing my bike doesn't really want to take turns like it used to. It is a weird feeling. I am about to make a turn and I can normally feel the bike want to take it no problem but this new feeling is like the tire wants to keep rolling straight. I have checked the pressure of my...

I picked up few really neat *exercises* in my last training and would like to pass them on to you all. 1. This one can be practiced by riders of all levels. Hopefully you already know that initiating turns is done by a deliberate countersteer (press right to go right, press left to go left)...
