  1. At a crossroads 23 Jan 2011 17:47 I appreciate all the thoughtful posts and words of encouragement, but nobody has addressed the real topic at hand: how you feel about drastically changing the lives of those around you, if Zeus forbid, something bad…
  2. At a crossroads 23 Jan 2011 07:14 I've been thinking about this for a long time and I've come to the conclusion that the only way one can continue to ride is to think something bad is not going to happen to him/her, especially with all the evidence of…

  6. At a crossroads 23 Jan 2011 05:17 For a while I've been debating if I should continue riding. I love it to no end, but I've had some spills and am very aware of my mortality. I used to be one to test my limits and go very fast on the twisties. I was…

  8. BMW call back 23 Jan 2011 03:43 They should recall all the beemers to fix the weird turn signal convention. I test rode an F800GS today, and did not like that about the bike. I'm supposed to cancel the signal with my throttle hand? That's the only…

  12. Painting/color question 18 Jan 2011 18:04 I say keep it as is. That color is rare and is damn sexy. If you're looking for a change, find some rashed up body work and a spare tank, fix them up (which isn't too difficult-or have the guy do it for you), and have…
