^^ read it, understand it, practice it. How much front you can use will depend on how smooth you are. If you are smooth as Lorenzo, you can use a TON of front. If you are hamfisted, not so much

I think that you should check again, I have been riding for 20 years and every single bike I had been on will slide into neutral from 2nd. You just give the shifter ½ a shift down. I would actually think that the gearbox had problems if it couldn’t go from 2nd to neutral.

Very wise choices :)

Agreed 100% The guy from the original post has nothing to be ashamed of, he just started. Downshifting to a stoplight is pretty basic, but good for him for asking what he is doing wrong. In my earlier post (#7) I wasn’t joking about parking the bike until the original poster finishes/passes a...

I had an egg thrown at me on devil's night about 20 years ago and some of the egg hit my exhaust, I was never able to get it 100% removed. It stained the metal in the pipe Sent from my iPod touch using Tapatalk

If you haven't done so already do yourself a giant favor and book a course: http://www.mto.gov.on.ca/english/dandv/driver/gradu/motocourse.shtml Stay safe Sent from my iPod touch using Tapatalk

I am assuming that you have not taken a motorcycle training program. You need to take a motorcycle training course, try one of the schools listed here: http://www.mto.gov.on.ca/english/dandv/driver/gradu/motocourse.shtml Park your bike and don't ride it again until you have passed the course...

Stay safe & I hope you have a great trip

A few years ago I drove from Switzerland to Monaco via Milan and driving on the highway was terrible. The Italians drive just as fast as the Germans but without the discipline or skill. You will need to keep your head on a swivel for sure. You feel safe driving at 200 km/h in Germany because the...

A little too expensive for most of us who are not independently wealthy but £20000 for a super low volume bespoke built bike is pretty reasonable I think.

My 2 cents: looks pretty good, sliding back in the seat and getting your chest closer to the tank would help. Spend $30 and get some of the best advice/tips available...

Aprilia is also planning to return for the 2016 season

Kawasaki IS STILL in MotoGP, kind of…. After they withdrew the full factory team they did/do offer limited factory support to the Avinta & Hayate teams. Suzuki will be back next year. They have developed a bike and are testing it now. Both Kawasaki and Suzuki were about as competitive as Ducati...

@ Yellow Duck: That’s more or less what I had assumed. Good for Rookie 600, MAYBE 600 novice (if I can muster my inner Marquez) BOTT LW and Lost era but unfortunately be a very expensive PYLON in superbike. I am working overseas for the next 12-24 months so by the time I get back home the 749...

I am planning to start racing and am considering buying a Ducati 749s to race in SOAR as it seems that the 749 is eligible for just about every racing class (Superbike, 600, BOTT, Lost era). I am not expecting to be the fastest guy out there in every race/class and I realize that a fast racer...

VFR all the way, that V4 is a pretty sweet motor

I am pretty sure that you should be able to have your track bike added to your house insurance just in case it's stolen or burns down.

Re: GTAM Calabogie Weekend - July 23-24 - Register Today to guarantee your spot! I would love to go but It just so happens that I am flying to Laguna Seca that weekend

Agreed, however this is exactly why it's important to pay attention during the riders meeting

Sportech Windscreen for 2006-2007 R6 in metallic blue I switched to a smoke coloured screen so this is just taking up space in the garage. Asking $25
