i live in NC. not legal here, but i do it. not gonna sit atop a bonfire in 90F just cos. cover the brake, be extra cautious. mrs goona tried it too and loved it. so now we do. keep an eye out for the police. needs to be legal. my life in my hands

i love my fz8. if i were starting out today and my first bike, i would get a $2k SV650 or $1.5k H599 and see what i like/dont like. wear ALL the gear ALL the time. go to a few dealers and ride their toys and then see what they would gimme by way of trade on my SV650, which they know they can...

i have a $5 combi lock cable from wally-world. i leave it wrapped around the handle bars and just pop it thru the chin and voila

aaahh!! nothing like the sound of an over run pop when decelerating. change down and blip the throttle a little for full effect.

have a 12

love the gtair, coming on a year with it. also couldnt imagine without an internal visor!! mrs wears rf-11 and no problem with noise. i find wind noise to vary per helmet/per head. always wear ear plugs.

i bought a similar set with the same "selection" process for my '12 fz8. they came from xhina and the brake didn't fit right and had tobe "shaved". dunno about you, i don't wanna have to "shave" my brake lever to make it fit. it was NOT this seller, but i'd bet $0.50 they come from a very...

not legal here in NC, as an expat i just do it. strange laws, why not? my dad came over and we rode, he scared the beegeezuz out of me with his "understanding" from the UK :o) don't really do it much in moving traffic but in summer 80+ in gear, at a light, i will make my way, slowly, toward the...

i am not being a troll, nor defending the shitheel thugs. dude attacked a motorcyclist with his car. that, for my $0.02 is where the unseemly chain of events kicked off. having been attacked by cars whilst on my bike, i can see how their "slowing him down, cutting him off" etc was intimidating...

increase my following distance and adjust my speed according to conditions and hazards etc. If I have to wait 20 minutes to get home safely and not take a beating or be involved in a crash whilst 1 or 1000 motorcyclist blaze past me at break neck speed then that is what I have to do

Lotta “I’ll shoot you” BS here. At least that’s what I understand “I’ll hand you 6 bullets one at a time” to mean. I do NOT, by any measure, condone the behavior of the bikers and the video of the little shitbag swerving in and out of oncoming traffic is infuriating. That bike will rip through...

i cannot believe what i am reading here!! just cos some idiot decides to ride his bike like an idiot does not give some cage the right to mow him down. only last week some kid cut me off by about 18 inches, from my right. i rode next to him and "explained" my displeasure. to which he responds...

that's what we used to do as kids, i was wondering when someone would see it, or if i was the only one. simply rotate and flip oem bars for the same effect. then they will fit perfectly, then just reverse all controls

ALWAYS ATGATT, ALWAYS please. having had a few scrapes and bumps over the years it aint worth it. squid in a $500 arai will wish he were dead if all that saved his life is that lid!! have and ER gravel removal! that "they" didn't see us does NOT make us any less dead. mitigate every risk...

nice sled. i just picked up a '12. i bought a rad cover from "whelan" nice touch, i might suggest it. i thought of the danmoto myself, but ended up with the volcano flame. i like it. i think i may have been happier with the danmoto!! oh well. tell me about those mirrors. i really like that look...
