I'd only use 2, not 3 and go staggered if you are planning to put 2 bikes on there. Also I'm a wee bit anal about strapping the bike on.... but I also tie down the front and rear wheel separately. So I tie the front wheel to the chock so that it can bounce out even if the handlebar straps let...

Who cares why? Yes you can ride the street without hanging off. Having said that it comes down to what feels right for that individual. All things being equal (as in feeling right) if a rider hangs off he has a greater safety margin. IMO - the bike is a big part of it. If I'm on a sportbike...

Hmmmm a little hypocrisy perhaps? I mean if you don't do blind faith, then you wouldn't be saying "Good Catch" all the time would you? I mean you're taking what the media is reporting as "blind faith", me thinks. :D REDBALLS - good luck with things.

Well you could always sell your bike, sell your SUV, get a Jetta TDI Wagon, hook up a hitch and get a cheap dirtbike for you and a PW50 for your 4 year old!

Didn't read all the posts, but I read the OPs. First off riding is more dangerous than driving, you know this. The risks of riding can be greatly diminished by doing various things such as but not limited to: - Proper Gear - yes it might not save you from bouncing off a semi.... but it...

Rent a minivan, load the bike in the back, drive to Colorado and ride around for 4-5 days.... drive back. Between here and there it is boring anyway. IMO, Colorado and western states are much nicer than NC/Tenn and yes I have been to both...actually use to live in NC.

Ya I watched it again and yes he rolls off the throttle AFTER the back end is coming round. Considering the grip levels at that track, I'm surprised.

Barna is back? I think that's a Brazilian Dude.

Of course.... it would be hard to do this in a place with high congestion. However, the basic concept may be applicable. The less laws there are the better things get.... i.e. keep it simple.

Seriously? You want to go from an 09 -> 2011 STI and sell the bike. I'd never consider that.... heck I try to buy my cars with as little power as I can. :D

Where was it in Holland and other places where they took away all limits and rules and fatalities decreased? Less rules less fatalities..... hmmmm.

Amazing how it is so much safer to open it up on an EMPTY German highway as it is on an EMPTY Canadian highway. :D Turbo - can you agree that it is safer if trucks were not allowed at Deals Gap. Yes or No. I mean if you didn't allow trucks, it would be a safer road for everyone including the...

I'm putting this here, because the two threads this is talking about are on this section to. So you have: 1 - Thread about guys in BC getting busted for speeding, having vehicles impounded etc.... doing something that IMO wasn't all that dangerous. They were often empty and divided roads and...

Re: If You or Want To Ride The Dragon Also - i just want to say there is a difference between coming around a corner and seeing a stationary object.... and something completely different is coming around a corner and seeing A BIG RIG coming AT YOU in the wrong side of the road when they can't...

Trucks will still get stuck even if you make it a 1 way road.... they shouldn't be on it. Of all things not safe, sheesh a truck on that road is one of the worst things. Now doing the 1 way thing would be kinda cool for cars and bikes.... problem is how is a state trooper from one state going...

Even though I am not a lawyer, as a part of my profession I had to take a Law Exam at least. That's more than can be said for most JPs. To clarify, I'm not knocking on the JPs or the way courts do things now. I'm SPECIFICALLY saying that for HTA 172 charges, there should be a judge and if...

Anybody have a sore head yet? As far as fatalities dropping in Ontario: - 2008 recession - 2008 one of the wettest summers ever, especially on weekends - Gas prices started to increase - There was a downward trend on fatalities anyway Can you say 172 did anything? I really DO NOT SEE how it...

Send me a PM with PICS!!! :D Oh you can send one of "you know who" backing into the pole too. BTW - hope you get better Fiery.

WTF happened to you? Inferno run you over with the Firetruck? :D
