And what percentage of motorcyclists are motoGP riders or have 1/10th the skill of one or the practice time it takes to overcome instinct? How many people thought they had emergency braking down then had the front slide out when it actually mattered?

I don't care what anyone says you can not practice emergency or panic braking. Practicing braking very hard is not an emergency or panic situation. If you know you are going to do something it is not a panic or emergency. Its like a fire drill you planned. You can train all you want but when...

Sucks too cause i have driven by there about six times in the last three days and i can still see what's left of the clean up kit almost inline with the right hand curb on industrial dr. At least the ct scan on my neck today went fairly well.

That was me. Happened about 10:45pm sunday on my way home from work. I wish I could tell you exactly what happened but all I remember was riding down street towards the escarpment with a vehicle coming towards me in the opposite lane then looking at the side of a big suv after I was already in...

^^what he said^^. Riding aside, people who are stupid enough to video tape their crimes and publicly publish them deserve to get caught.

What is even more disgusting is that this happened after all the crap that went down in montreal last year and the national embarrasment that that caused. People who do stuff like this because of mob mentality make me sick. I wish mob mentaility would have had them kill themselves instead of...

i walked out on a job at walmart 14 years ago and told the superviser to go fcuk himself on my way out the door and wouldn't you know the same guy got hired to be a superviser at my current work 12 years after that. Yes he remembered me, yes he told all my other bosses what I did and tried to...

I'm going in august with about 25 doctors for a bachelor party and was wondering if anyone knew a place that is good for golfing that rents clubs? Aside from the fact that this trip is going to break me since I am a dirty student going with people who like to flaunt their money, I can't see us...

After many years of riding, one of the things I have concluded is that other motorcycles around me are more dangerous than cars. Mainly because each rider has their own idea of how to ride in the vicinity of another bike. I hate it if another rider even comes near me so I ride solo 99.9% of the...

when my zx6 tranny broke I needed a new bike fast and my current R1 was the best bike at the best price available the day I went looking for a new ride. I was after a VFR or Z750/1000 but couldn't turn down the deal on the R1.

i don't have a factory kit but i always carry an allan key multi tool, a normal multi tool, a multi head screw driver, a small ratchet and a few common small sockets, a small bottle of wd40, a few single use super glue things, zip ties, fuses and a little key chain flash light. It all fits in an...

I hate to thread jack but you guys seem pretty knowledgeable. I have a late 90's Chuck HT (not ridden in last ten years) with raceface components, white brothers shocks, and cane creek rims that probably cost 7 grand back in the day. Is a bike like this old enough to be cool again and...
