The fuel economy on my FZ09 wasn't very great, but otherwise it was a very fun bike. The suspension is very on the soft side, so a lot of guys end up getting aftermarket suspension or rigging up shocks from other bikes (I think some Kawi ZX shocks worked okay for them for cheap). It's...

Oh yes, I forgot the included membership to the old white vest-wearing bearded dude club. I guess that is worth an additional $10k. *T-shirts, car stickers, hats, blankets, vanity signs, jackets, keychains, etc. not included

^ Depending on a person's fitness goals and body type, that may be wayyyyy too much cardio. I don't mind rowers for a short period of time, but for longer cardio sessions, I prefer something with my hands free so I can browse the internet or something. I'm always afraid of falling off the...

How is this thing $24k? :unsure:

I guess I am big now, because I use >75s for a bunch of things. Doing some crosswise thing (if I'm thinking correctly) sounds like a recipe for a dumbbell in the face. I go to Movati, and tried some LA FItness locations (they were a bit too busy, but well equipped, generally). The Movati has...

Interesting, sounds like there is a lot of difference in locations. Do they have squat racks, dumbbells beyond 75 pounds, and water fountains? I'm told that they typically don't have these things, which is...subpar.

I'm surprised people have had good experiences with Fit4Less. Everyone I've talked to who has gone to them hasn't had anything good to say; equipment is generally broken, limited selection, very busy, extremely limited/non-existent amenities (if you count change rooms or water fountains as...

I haven't heard about a poor attitude from Lorenzo regarding his dealings with the team, usually this just comes from fans that don't like that he isn't a bubbly Rossi/Marquez personality. He is a proven talent, and once Ducati got him the parts he asked for, he started doing very well. Even the...

Was a pretty boring race. Good races haven't been very common this year.

Oh boy. You might want to re-read the actual context of my quote "My point would be that if it's too dangerous for normal folks to do, it shouldn't be done by them." It was about lane filtering, not texting. And I said I didn't think it was dangerous, but the laws are vague enough as to both...

Wtf is a "professional drinker"? I never suggested that cops not be able to perform their duties or use tools (lights, handguns, speeding) to perform their duties. I'm not sure where you're picking this up. I would say that they should only be using those tools in response to a situation...

When did I argue that they shouldn't be able to do these things in response to an emergency situation? Or are you saying they can do these things regardless of purpose?

I'm not saying it is (I said so just afterward) but, from my understanding, people have been charged with all sorts of random things for filtering from police (reckless driving, stunting, etc.). I don't think it should be illegal, but the police should be held to at least the same standard they...

I'm sorry that happened to your grandmother, but it sounds like the guy was an idiot regardless of whether he was texting or not. This sort of situation won't go away even if phones have to be left in the trunk of a car. The guy could have been daydreaming or have sneezed and had the same thing...

Wait, so the cop can lane filter? This isn't stunting? For people using phones at red lights, I don't have a problem with this, assuming they are ready when the light goes green again. If it has JUST turned red, and they bust it out to send a quick text (where it is down before the other...

In Calgary, people have their cars hit by the train somewhat regularly. It has its own "street" downtown and is clearly marked. People will also drive down the train's street sometimes thinking they've found some magical non-busy road downtown that nobody else is using. Lesson: People are just...

Add beautiful women, nice weather, and scenery and that is about all there is. My understanding there is lots of all of that down south. o_O

lol @ the name of the site. My other half did a mission trip with her school to Ecuador, and they said they were told to not leave certain areas of the cities they were in. Said there were military (or military-ish police) along some of these "safe area" borders to keep things safe-ish. She...

Cool stuff. My back just killed riding the Scout Bobber, every crack in the road I felt a pinch in my back (low and mid). I do heavy-ish deadlifts/squats with no pain, so this was odd. I suspect playing with the ergos would make it better, but I can only 'review' the bike I rode, and I've never...

Noice, it sounded like most people liked the Scout Bobber. I love the look and thought it sounded nice (plus pipes it would be perfect) but it destroyed my back. Maybe the higher pars would have put me in a better position or something, but I don't like the look. I probably should have stuck...
