I think this is far prettier, aesthetically.

I have seen paraplegics who work in offices, stores, scientific labs, shipping companies, warehouses, and host TV talkshows , run motorcycle shops, etc., As Newman said, other than physical labour that requires the ability to walk, the sky is the limit. If anyone else can afford racing, there is...

Of course you are getting wet- They are Frogg Toggs. The only riders who stay dry in them are riding full dressed touring bikes. The lack of a double flap at the zipper is culprit. My Fieldsheer is till watertight...I bought it when I was 18 and needed something wind and waterpro0f to wear over...

I dunno how many of you realize that our very own member, "recidivist", owner of Competition Cycle in Whitby, is very much like the fellow in this documentary. Crashing his GSXR on a group ride in Muskoka, breaking his back and becoming paralyzed. While still in hospital recovering, before even...

Link to the feeds? I haven't watched a MotoGP race since being there live at Indy in Aug.

If you're not riding it on the track, I cannot imagine why anyone would shop for a 160+ hp sportbike to begin with. Sorta like buying a Lamborghini for day to day driving. I would be far more inclined to ride a Tuono, Monster, Superduke. And heck, I would probably even order the little Monster...

Everyone's wives were busy fingerbanging themselves silly while reading 50 Shades of Grey a couple yrs ago, so it's not like he is some type of torturer for liking the slap and tickle. As far as I am concerned, these women are now looking for payback or glory-there's no shame in modern times...

_1 +3 gearing on your GSXR is like going 3:55 to 4"10 on your Mustang. For a streetbike, I wouldn't bother with 520. Just shortening the lifespan for unmeasurable performance gain. And I would use steel sprockets on a streetbike, again longevity, and alloy ones tend to be noisier than steel ones...

They let Hoffartth win season after season on his 89 ZX7 running 93/94 fairings. We have 2+ seasons of 3 hr races, and a handful of sprint races (probably well over 3000 laps and once small crash) on Squidskins on our endurance bike. No problems to speak of. Fit great out of the box. TJ painted...

He is getting a helluva workout running around with that thing,LOL

I can't login anywhere but home. No other PC, and not from my cell phone. No idea why. Been like that for over a yr.

No need. The adventure crowd doesn't mind a steel frame that any shopowner in Siberia can repair....and this bike doesn't need the weight savings of aluminum or even any more R&D framewise, It's already very light...the current frame is sufficient. Simply using different fork and shock, and...

They NEED to make an Adventurized version of the 700, with 17" rear wheel and 19" front, and switchable ABS. It would destroy the BMW's and Wee-Strom's stranglehold on the midsized ADV market

Have never done much in the racing off-season so far- this winter though, I intend to do lots of cross country mountainbiking in the snow. Shopping fatbikes now.

A Dr. I once met many yrs ago had an article written in a major motorcycle publication about his 92 CBR 900.....more than 10 or 15 yrs ago, it already had 350,000+ miles (almost 600,000 kms) on it. He used it for commuting, canyon riding in California, and trackdays. It had all mistmatched...

The cheap "As Seen on TV" car wax called Liquid Lustre. Can be had at CDN Tire etc. Wipe onto greasy grimy wheel. Rub and wipe off. Cleans off existing mess, and leaves waxed finish to ease the wiping off of grime for next time as well.

Cost? Please. Same price as a loud pipe. Everyone seems to find the $ for one of those.

Newman, thanks for the bottle of water too! I needed it.....as for your lesson, I think you just wanted to rub salt in the wound of the Rookie grid......leaving your bike in neutral on the start with your arm up, then joining the race after they all left, on the oldest slowest bike in the class...

Hell-my wife stood out in the cold and rain all weekend scoring bikes for you ********,LOL She is way outta my league- just don't tell her that.

Your teamates and I talked at length over dinner Sat about your wife situation. I think she may be disenchanted with motorcycle crashes because she sees them on TV and reads about them in the paper. Let's be realistic- How many SOAR crashes happened this yr? 100? 150?....200? How many people...
