All 18- Penske vs. Ohlins shock I've used both Penske and Ohlins on various track and street bikes. Both shocks are very good quality. You won't go wrong with either. High speed compression/rebound adjustment for a street bike is probably of dubious…
- Go with a plan, or wing it? For me, I first like to research the best motorcycling roads in the area I'll be visiting. Then add in whatever other attractions are in the area that I really want to see. Finally, loosely plan a route that takes in as…
- Twists and Leans: Trusting your Tires... How did you do it? Trying to find the limits of traction on the street seems like a good recipe for getting hurt. Go to a riding school; it will be the best money you've ever spent on riding. There is much more to riding quickly than…
- Why Race? I think the WERA Track Day forum was axed due to it's entire content being thinly veiled promotion by the various track day organizations. People were being jerks. Racing is more expensive than track days, but not…
- VTEC valve check - Anybody have Slide Pin Stoppers to loan? [image: View Post]MapMaster, on 27 December 2010 - 01:54 PM, said: I'm aware of the pita factor, but just because it's hard/expensive to do, does not mean that it should not be done. I'm another of the few that agree…
- Where to retire? How about another country as a possibility? Not sure I'd actually do it, but moving to someplace like Montevideo, Uruguay, would be interesting. Nice temperate climate, large ex-pat community, low cost of living, great…
- Cornerspin School I really enjoyed the Cornerspin School when I attended almost 3 years ago. Hoping to do a lot more track days in 2011, I decided to look into Cornerspin again to refresh my riding skills. So, this past weekend, I headed…

- Sprocket Trouble I just shipped the original (ill-fitting) sprocket, the replacement (boat anchor) rear sprocket, and the countershaft sprocket back to Sprocket Center and requested a refund for those parts. Hopefully, there won�t be…
- Sprocket Trouble I, too, recently ordered a sprocket/chain kit from Sprocket Center and had problems with mounting the rear sprocket. Here is a photo of the stock and replacement sprocket (replacement from Sprocket Center is the black…
- More On "trail Braking" Technique [image: View Post]mechdziner714, on Sep 18 2009, 03:22 PM, said: Interesting article from Code on Braking Keith Code's writing is always thoughtful and clear. His no brakes drill is an eye opener (no pun intended); it…
- More On "trail Braking" Technique [image: View Post]Brown81, on Sep 17 2009, 03:05 PM, said: Read Nicks writing, and also read Parks, Code and the rest of them. Take their expert opinions to heart and take a bunch of dudes on an internet forums' with a…
- Looking To Upgrade Fork Guts. How Far Should I Go? JamieDaugherty I've been doing full revalves (I'm guessing the Aftershocks was just a compression revalve) and new springs for $245. Maybe I'm not charging enough! I think Aftershocks does both compression and rebound.…
- Looking To Upgrade Fork Guts. How Far Should I Go? Another alternative you might consider is just modifying the stock internals. Quite a few VFR riders have had good luck with Aftershocks revalving. Call Phil at Aftershocks (www.aftershocks-suspension.com). He can set…
- Cornerspin School I spent this past weekend attending Aaron Stevenson’s Cornerspin school; “Roadracing in the Dirt”. ( Cornerspin School ). This is a road racing school taught on dirt. Flat track and motard riding techniques are used…
- Cold Weather. What To Cover Radiator With. I think I'd be checking my thermostat before bothering to cover the radiators. If the cooling system is operating properly, you should be fine to well below freezing temperatures.
- Michelin Pilot Mounting Question I used the bar code aligned with valve stem, and it only took 1/4 oz. to balance, so I'm happy. Thanks everyone. :beer:
- Michelin Pilot Mounting Question Most motorcycle tires I've mounted have had a small painted "balance dot" to indicate the lightest side of the tire. You typically put the dot at the heaviest side of the wheel (valve stem) to minimize the amount of…
