    To my neighbors to the North

    My fender is sitting outside under my porch. It only rains 30 days out of the year here and only maybe 10 of those days are real rainy days. I love the look of my bike with the FE on it. Also I cut up the wiring for the lights so they would be a pain to swap out everything. I just...

    I need some advice

    I'm coming up on 26k miles which I believe is the time to get the valve clearance checked. Over the last 1,000 miles I have noticed increased popping on decel and it is a little slower to start when the engine is cold (both of those are signs the shop guys said indicates it should be done)...

    To my neighbors to the North

    I just rode home tonight in this wet mess. My back was soaked and I wasn't wearing my jacket because it was so warm earlier when I left. Tell you what, I still won' get a car any time soon. Love it.

    2014 Honda Motorcycles Announced

    Looks like a lot of good options. It's interesting they have both the 500s and now 650s

    Question on bike worth

    I am interested in the Givi luggage but have to wait till after the new year before buying anymore stuff for the bike. I didn't see the mileage in your ad. I always look at mileage first thing.

    Stupid rider skill (lack of) issue

    When I first started riding I was more confident going left than right and the only time I've blown a corner is going right. I'm right handed and box lefty, and ride goofy foot. I also have had major injuries to every major joint on my right side and a bone spur on the right neural foramina of...

    2014 BMW S 1000 R Preview

    Wow, so basically you can get a used Gen II and throw $2000 at it to get numbers at around the same as the Tuono or S1000R for the engine. Then you throw another $2000 at it for suspension upgrades. And you still save $5000 over either of those fancy euro bikes.

    2014 BMW S 1000 R Preview

    So you think that an Ivanized ECU will get an additional 20-ish horsepower and 5-7 lb*ft torque? Anybody got a dynochart to prove this?

    Pilot Road 4 Revealed

    I must say I'm loving my Pilot Road 3's at the moment. They are sooo much better, so much better than the Pilot Road 2's I had before (I'm wondering if I just had a crappy set). Pilot Road 4's sound interesting say the least.

    When hanging off.......

    I know I was watching Senal's vid. The only thing I noticed is there is no side roads that join the road he's gong on. Senal, nice riding. The sliding over to each side looks good.

    When hanging off.......

    Uhh, we don't have that many Chuck E Cheese here, but we do have a lot Peter Piper Pizza. I'm probably just paranoid because any time I see road debris/gravel/dirt I'm clinching up and keeping the bike upright. That and there is this one right hand corner that has a positive camber to...

    Also enjoy this pic, evidently since Marquez has gone elbow down, everyone is doing it and making it look silly Martin Jorde 'bow down

    When hanging off.......

    Resurrection thread So, after my first crash on the Fz6 because I was sitting in middle of seat, going the speed limit and still crashed I basically have always hung off the seat or shifted body position while riding on the street now. I don't go full lean or get to really crazy speeds but I...
