    Thinking about an FJR1300

    Now that I am without a bike, I have been racking my brain on what to get next. As much as I loved my FZ8, I have decided to go with a sport touring bike that has fairings and a full windscreen. I want to be able to take longer trips more comfortably. Plus, my girlfriend hated riding on the...

    Tork XPro Motorcycle Helmet Speakers

    I am contemplating these. Has anyone ever used them before? I like to listen to music while riding, but after 30 minutes or so, ear buds start to hurt my ears. These apparently stick to your helmet and look to have pretty good bass response from some reviews I have read. Here is a video...
