I'm of the same mind and have never seen a need for heated grips personally although I can see where heated grips would be useful for some depending on their situation and cold tolerance. ie. If you have winter gloves with a comparatively thin palm area for use specifically with heated...

It always freaks people out when you prove to them they have a blind spot. Mind you, there are two eyes at work here so not sure how that pans out.

Can she legally grab the motorcyclist? Assuming he was rolling on the bike, she might have assaulted him while trying to deliberately injure. Was she ripped like Cris Cyborg?

By cornering at low speed, do you mean slower than walking or jogging pace? I'd say do whatever so long as you're in full control however riding with a leg out at slow speeds screams out of control to me. At very low speeds (ie. circa walking pace), do not "lean off" the bike. The rider...

^ This ^ Comparatively speaking, it is incredibly easy to ride a motorcycle or scooter on streetcar tracks compared to a road bicycle. After a few falls on my bicycle, I decided I was going to beat this. Let my wheels fall into the tiny crevice inside the rails and sessioned it. Yes I...

LOL. One needs to decouple the controls. Even if you hit a feature and your body gets catapulted forward or up or back, you should still have the ability to give as little or as much clutch, throttle or front brake as required or wanted. A popular saying amongst shooters is to not pull the...

You can also sportsman your XR by putting road tires on the dirt rims you already have. It's far from perfect but the price is more palatable than going full SM.

I find riding downtown extremely safe. The horror show in your mirrors is way less intimidating than when riding in the burbs. Yes, you may get hurt but you likely won't perish on the spot if you get t-boned at an intersection since the speeds are a lot lower and stopping distances way...

A few years ago, I ordered a pair of boots from them. They were in my hands in less than 3 days! After all the shipping and duties were accounted for, it was at least a hundred cheaper than buying it from the US and hundreds cheaper than buying it locally. Sadly their prices don't seem...

Likely a better choice. I'd stay well away from the ADV if you are not anticipating a high probability of impacts. Shifting in them is significantly worse and there is significant desensitization when compared to more street oriented boots. All of which equals less fun in general. For...

People are *****. I once saw someone empty a whole cup of soda into a parked top down convertible just because they were having a bad day/week/year/life.

The WR250X has the same engine and transmission as the WR250R. It's one cylinder off an R1 in a detuned package from what I recall. Streetbike all the way. Nothing exotic about it. No beast whatsoever.

The sand is pretty deep in places on the main trails and doubletrack. At least when you dump it, there will probably be zero damage because sand is a lot kinder than other surfaces for that.

^ that picture is not of liberty ^

I hate Honda bikes but out of the 4 you listed, the Honda would be the easy choice for me EFI, 6 speed tranny, watercooled, newish suspension No question about it. However I'd rather get a well used earlier Yamaha WR250R well before any of those.

Seems they'll get to joyride your vehicle too under the name of the test. This is not good for those of us with manual transmissions. In a previous stick car, the mechanic needed to move my car 20 feet. Said he could drive stick. No problem right? He then proceeded to stall my car...

Synchronized turning is not uncommon in traffic infested cities. Quite occasionally cars turn side by side in Manhattan however they are mostly doing it from wide one way streets onto other wide one way streets. I've seen 5 cars making a right at the same time. Lanes are pretty spacious up...
