    U-Haul motorcycle trailers - First-hand experiences?

    Don't think so. I've had to take a slightly larger one as the motorcycle specific one was not available. That'll take two for sure. It was 5x9 iirc. With a ramp and all.

    Power to weight of a Ferrari

    suggestions for 600-1000cc sport tourer?

    I'll have to throw in my biased opinion because its all I know. I'm on a 01 YZF600R with a corbin seat as a previous owner must have installed. It was a good coice for me especially what they sell for. My $.02

    Goo Gone Alternative

    Give a magic eraser a shot. I took construction adhesive off of hardwood flooring in a couple of spots without harming the urethane. Just make sure you use it wet because it is ever so slightly abrasive and be prepared for some elbow grease.

    Help me choose a 2nd bike...

    I'm going to have to throw my biased opinion in the mix. I have a 01 YZF600R sport touring as they say. More of an upright position and more forgiving than an R6. It is my first and yes I am a mostly new rider, but its not half the crazyness that I was expecting reading all the " you should be...

    Advice For Long Trips

    I've never heard of such a driveway service. I think it's kinda cool. But, do the owners of the vehicle know or care that you and your housemate are going to sleep in it too? Just asking.

    Should I fear the Tar Snakes?

    I will have to add, that I have a super increased awareness to the tar snakes, but mostly from what I've read prior to actually getting out on the road. I have felt them, but they seem almost non existant thought. It may have something to do (as it was already mentioned) with the tires. I...

    So after I got my butt out on the main roads for a few laps over a couple of days, I finally got to venture out a round trip of 75k woo hoo. Which was basically from the airport to old Meadowvale right across Derry . I cant wait till I get another chance to get out again.

    Want to buy a new bike BUT

    YZF600R, I believe they were produced from 97 to 06 (iirc), mine is an 01. Sport touring with good looks and from what I've come to understand, its a well rounded and reliable bike. It does have the one piece seat though, but I've seen the solo caps on some folks rides.
