Last 50 of 96- Nervous About Taking A Long Trip I wouldn't get a leather track suit for a long ride. Taking a leak in a gas station in a sweaty leather track suit is no fun. Its more pratical and cheaper to buy leather pants (if you want to stick with leather). I…
- Valencia testing did hayden test Thanks. Let's hope the guys on that bike can get into the top ten. Without a competitive American it'll be hard to build interest in the U.S. I was reading about the new MotoAmerica series. Apparently Dorna was behind…
- Valencia testing did hayden test Scanning the testing times for the Valencia tests I didn't see Hayden's name. Anyone know if he tested today? I know he's getting the RC213V-RS (or the RC213V Touring edition , as it should be known) and I'd like to see…
- 2015 Aprilia Tuono Is Now An 1100 With 175 Hp I miss the Falco. Aprilia was ahead of the naked/hooligan bike curve with it, and it never took off. The Tuono is a reasonable replacement, but I don't like the paint job or the bumble bee front fairing.
- Refurbishing A Stolen, River-Found, Vfr 750... Terrific story! A bike that won't die is a keeper. Congratulations to all involved!
- "packing The Essentials" List I've been bringing those Starbucks VIA packets for instant coffee on my trips. I throw a few of them in my toiletry kit. A little hot water and you've got a pretty damn good cuppa considering the convenience factor.
- Digital Lcd Dash Project You might be able to get the screen from Starlane, but it sounds like you've already got one in mind. Can't hurt to take a look at their track GPS stuff to see how they've worked it out.
- Digital Lcd Dash Project Can you source stuff from Starlane?
- Advice On Bike Bags Bags Connection Daypack or Engage models are pretty cool [image: phpqQutqE.jpg] . [image: phpKeRQLr_1.jpg]
- La Conner Not Friendly To Motorcyclists--My Weekend Adventure I wonder if most of these questionable practices are because the police are getting pressure to increase revenue. I have been stopped in my car twice and ticketed for not having a front license plate. On one occasion…
- Vfr800 Vs. Tiger 1050 Owned a VFR for about ten years. Sold it and now have a multistrada because my buddy has a tiger 1050. He really likes his triumph and will trade up to the newer, bigger bike next year. The upright position takes a bit…
- Build or buy? Too bad nobody builds a custom frame for the V4 like Rickman, etc. used to for various powerplants back in the 60s & 70s. It would be way cool to have a state-of-the art chassis with the 5th gen motor. Or Spondon. They…
- Because its never too early to think about laguna seca Gonna try to get an epic three or four day ride in before the race. Buddy riding in from Carson City. We'll meet up and tour Northern California. Haven't mapped it out but it'll be fun. Wife is going to join me in…
- Because its never too early to think about laguna seca If you aren't planning on drinking at night, stay in Watsonville. Cheaper, but thirty minutes to the track down Highway 1. Highway 1 has been redone somewhat so it'll be less congested, but you'll still be in a bit of…
- Schuberth C3 Pro And Shoei Gt Air: First Impressions Could you give a review of your Neotec. I was seriously thinking of upgrading from my Caberg Justissimo GT (5 years old now and chinstrap lock is failing, apart from that with new inner pads it's an excellent helmet,…
- Schuberth C3 Pro And Shoei Gt Air: First Impressions I have had an opportunity to try on and examine two new helmets: the Schuberth C3 Pro and the Shoei GT Air. For those of you who don't know, the Schuberth C3 was/is a very popular, lightweight, high-cost, high-quality…
- Rear Sprocket Flew Off On Freeway I assume you'll be replacing the front sprocket as well? I am surprised nothing got eaten up.
- Modular Vs. Standard Helmets: Anyone Switch Back? In a couple of weeks my local dealer will have both the Shoei GT Air (full face with pinlock and internal drop down visor) and the new Schuberth C3 Pro, which is supposed to be quieter than the C3, have an updated SRC…
- Modular Vs. Standard Helmets: Anyone Switch Back? For the last year I have been using a Schuberth modular helmet. Great helmet but I need a helmet that fits me bit better. I may have to go back to a standard helmet. Got used to all the features of a modular. Gonna be…
- This Cbr250 Has Peaked My Interest It gets pretty good reviews. I'd go for it, or look for a Ninja 300. Seems fun, practical, and easy to park. Of course, I also like scooters.
- Plasti-Dip Testing With Pics Very cool write up! I wonder how it would work on a helmet? I'd like to change my silver helmet to something like a Shoei Monza red. Are there different glosses?
- Sidi Boot Feedback Two measurements are critical. Width of foot and calf. I have had three sets of Sidis. They are narrow in the box, like Italian shoes, so they can be a problem if you have a wider foot. I use Sidis for the track but for…
- Hi-Viz Helmets and clothing Dutchy: Is that the orange Hi-Viz C3 helmet from Schuberth? How orange/dayglo is it? Me like.
- Hi-Viz Helmets and clothing I have a hi viz yellow Olympia Phantom suit. It is almost embarassingly bright. I haven't had any comments from people riding or driving, but I had a janitor of a school tell me he freaked out when he saw me, thinking I…
- thoughts on your 6th gen R/W/B with ABS.... I have a 2002 with ABS. The ABS seems to work really well. As far as the so-called abruptness of the V-tec, I never really experienced any jerkiness -- just a louder engine noise.
- 8th Gen? RC213V slated for production in 2014 Honda is apparently going to produce a road-going version of the RC213V. Not much of a surprise given its "V" website. Supposedly expensive, like the Desmosedici. I guess that means Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, and Jay Leno…
- Seca II Anyone have one? I had a Yamaha Vision, which I chose over the Seca. the guy that I took my bike to for repairs told me the Secas were very reliable.
- Customer Service Success Story I participated in the recent Skidmarx hugger Group Buy, but after installation had an issue with the hugger. After a very long ride the hugger had pulled loose from its fittings and was barely hanging on. Very bad…
- Park n Move VFR Dolly? The park-n-move is a near duplicate of the Wunderlich product popular with BMW owners. I own a Park N Move; saw it at the show and was having a hard time locating a Wunderlich, so I ordered one. Unfortunately, I don't…
- Calling on glove experts.... I am a big fan of Alpinestars. I had a pair of high end Spidi's but they were not up to snuff. I now have some Rev'it short gloves as my daily gloves. Good but nothing special. Motorcyclist's June edition had a glove…
- Beware the Yellow Peril Looks fantastic.
- My bike's new look That's a real nice blue. Good job. Silver rims, maybe?
- Solo riding on Freeway, joining or following ettiquette Staggered with room. I choose the side of my lane that is safe for the occasion. Usually I like to see the the mirror of the car in front. I have ridden in the center when conditions require it. I don't like to surprise…
- Paint Orange with black wheels, frame. I think there was a member with a fourth gen (I think) that was painted like that. Pretty cool. Actually looked like something a factory might do. I'm not a fan of flames or over the top…
- Official Skidmarx Hugger Group Buy ***CLOSED*** Got mine today. Looks nice. Will install tomorrow. Gonna try to give the vendor some more business. Important to reward those willing the group buy vendors.
- Interest in Skidmarx Hugger group buy? If its still going, I'm in for a 6th gen carbon fibre.
- Carbon fiber mods - 09 vfr800 v-tech Black Pazzo's please...
- Going full stealth Not my cup of tea, but very well done.
- Alpinestars hydro sport drystar boots I have the TCX Airtech Goretex boot. Breathes but is still waterproof. I wear a size 10 shoe and my boots are very roomy at a size 44. They are known to be be wider in the box than other Italian boots (Dianese,…
- Top 15 Motorcycle roads USA/Canada HS: In California, 58 is one of the best roads in central california. Sorry you missed it. Beats Pacific Coast Highway simply because it is never congested and there are very few LEOs out. Very nice condition, really…
- I found my missing GoPro Camera but........................... Lost my fancy sunglasses. Many months later was cleaning under the car seat and found two pairs of sunglasses. Man that was nice.
- Stupid Tank Bolts! Thank god you're not a surgeon. Did you find the second bolt? I wouldn't move a thing in that garage until I found it. If you clean up and/or ride the bike, the bolt could get lost and you'd never know what happened to…
- No wonder older guys like BMW's, here's their secret. I am switching to a Sargent seat.
- Emergency (Long Distance) Tool Kit Cruz Tools sells replacement kits that are supposedly better quality than their oem counterparts; you might want to check out the types of things they include to get some more ideas. I vote for zip ties and tape; a…
- Bike doesn't seem to "lean" enough while on the side stand My bike doesn't lean enough when I go around turns. I've compared it to Casey Stoner's bike, and his leans a lot more.
- Zumo & TomTom are Obsolete I have a Samsung Galaxy Nexus: it is a big android phone using the latest Google operating system. The navigation on it is better than the navigation in my cars by far. You just speak the destination, and it immediately…
- HERO 2, GoPro just upped the ante Just got a Hero2! REI (sporting goods store) had a deal for members. Got it for 20% off. They didn't have the motorsport version -- just the outdoor version, so I'll need some mounting stuff. I took the savings and got…
- Who Wears Earplugs, And Why? I wear earplugs. Highest rating I can find for disposable. Home depo and pharmacies sell them in bulk. I don't listen to music when I ride. My buddy does and I can never get his attention; he's always in la la land.
- What adventures are you planning this year Laguna Seca MotoGP in July; Colorado five-day ride (Los Angeles to Colorado and back) (hopefully) In August or September; Track days at Willow Springs and/or Laguna Seca (anyone have a recommendation for a track day…
- VFR1200X soft roader Spoked wheels. An interesting design element, but I think it will fall aside once everyone accepts that the bike will see very little dirt. Lots of street oriented people like myself may not want to lug a 600 pound bike…
