plug in your physical data, can see how you fit on a bike.

I compromise and use Shell Silver 89. (5% ethanol). The last couple of fill ups before winter i use Shell 91 (no ethanol)
One thing about vehicle manuals tho. They always say to use XX octane minimum. So would say to use minimum 87 but do
not say to not use a higher octane.
that daymak is nuts. I can see joe and jane public complaining to police about them. But because they look like motorcycles it will be sportsbikes riders getting the hate.
911? there is a person on a motorcycle riding in the bike lane.
i have seen folks here do the opposite trick. Put an...
Went back to dealer today. They had some helmets on sale that i almost bought. Did not want to spend a big ton but they had a fullface HJC with pinlock. What caught my
eye was it was 75% black but had green grafix on it that matched the bike. Was $135 out the door. (HJC CL17 Striker)
this...

2017 were 900 off list but now seem to be 700 off.
After a few hours of riding today, i am loving this bike. Perfect bike for city riding. It isnt a speed demon but then again
the Suzuki VanVan i test rode a...
if you are buying one of these to use on the hwy, you bought the wrong bike. If i want to go fast and far on the hwy i have the NC750 for that. This Z125 is just something better than
a scooter, will use it to have fun on over winter when it not practical to take the big bike out.
so i went and got a new 2017 Kawasaki Z125 Pro. Kowie has a promo on them now so could not resist. Sorry for you guys and the snow and cold but
the weather around here been fantastic. Today and the weekend sunny and warm.
i did consider a scooter again but the price of the Z125 was cheaper...
i say part of it is the traffic these days. A summer day, hot / humid and traffic. No fun on a bike.
And stats. yes a minor "fender bender" btwn a car and bike usually results in injuries for rider. BUT looking at stats for car accidents in north America.
There are thousands of people killed...
Discovered these all female Japanese metal / rock girl bands. Mind blown. These girls are saving rock-n-roll.
Started with Babymetal. Then one day a new (to me) group appeared in my YouTube feed. "Band-Maid"
They are awesome. Love every one of their songs. Nice to see such a talented group of...
just as bad here too. The ones i shake my head at... on hwy. heavy traffic but moving. I keep safe follow distance from car in front. (2 second rule)
i am going just as fast as car in front, not holding anyone up. But these idiots that were behind me seem to get mad and go around me just so they...
owned many scooters over the last 12 yrs. Piaggio Fly50. Derbi 150. X9 460
Yamaha Smax 155. BWs125. Majesty 400
A good bike in the range you are looking at is the Piaggio BV350. One thing i hated about the bigger scooters is the "rubber band" feel upon taking off from a start.
The CVT would...
Out for a short ride today. Too hot to ride too far. Coming back home the long way. Come to a stop light. About 3 blocks up is another stop light and is where i intend to turn right.
I can see one of those work trucks in curb lane with the arrow at next light(so lane closed) There are also...
