    A cure for crazy

    I had a lot of depression following brain surgery a bunch of years ago, riding my bike was the only thing that kept me sane and off of antidepressants.

    98 750 SRAD Won't start

    Thanks, actually the bike's been fine since I bumped it. I had filled it the night before, I'm wondering if I got a little water in the gas. As far as the battery goes it still cranks strong and my smart charger says it's good, which is pretty amazing considering it's original (1998) with...

    the Bumpstart

    I've had to bump started my Gixxer twice. If the battery is fully discharged the fuel pump won't pressurize the system and in my experience the bike won't start. What I did was pull all none essential fuses reducing the draw on the electrical system. After that it started after a short push.

    Samsung Galaxy S 2 - REVIEW?

    I've had my S2 for almost a month now, it's my first smart phone and I love it. I've ended up using it quite a bit at work, I can scan and send a document faster with my phone than I can with our $80,000 printer/scanner. I only have two concerns with it, 1. I barely get a full day out of a...

    the Bumpstart

    Between our dirtbikes and the old street bikes a week seldom goes by that I'm not bumping something. Most times its second gear with a kid pushing. Sent from my GT-I9100M using Tapatalk

    Tires tires Tires - what tires are best for touring?

    I've averaged 17,000 on my last three sets of Metzler M3's, around 14000 on Shinko 009's, and less than 10,000 on both sets of Dunlops (can't remember the models), next I'm putting on a set of Metzler Z8's as soon as Pete delivers them.

    Ok here's another question, if I deal with Bell (ugh) or Virgin what kind of plan should I be able to negotiate. I've found dealing with these guys kinda like trying to buy a used car.
