Nice bike. You're getting 15 km/litre. That's pretty darn good. Your fuel capacity is 15.5 litres. Your fuel light comes on with 5.7 litres left in the tank. You SHOULD be safe to ride to 200 km and still have a 35km buffer -- depending on how hard you're banging the throttle, if you're in city...

Weellll.... sure.. if you want to make it locally, or western nations, sure. It's a negative symbol due to a certain Third Reich. The swastika has been around for thousands of years. Due to our generally limited grasp of the big picture (i.e. the blip in time of WW2 compared to several thousand...

You can't say it's a universal negative. It's still WIDELY used by many religions. From Wikipedia: The swastika (卐) (Sanskrit: स्वस्तिक) is a symbol that generally takes the form of an equilateral cross, with its four arms bent at 90 degrees. The earliest archaeological evidence of...

My mistake. Hispanic Heritage month. September 15 - October 15. http://www.infoplease.com/hispanic-heritage-month/

There's Black Bike Week in the US. There's Black History Month. There's the Gay Pride in Toronto There's Latino Heritage Month. Try to get anything for white people, and everyone instantly is up in arms and gets all excited. Do I particularly care? No. People are people. Forget all the "I'm...

I would say the Ninja 250 has a relatively relaxed riding position. You can compare bikes quite easily here: http://cycle-ergo.com Try something like an FZ09 or other such bike. You can also purchase drop pegs, which will help straighten your legs a bit.

What exhaust did you end up with?

Begged her to forgive my weight gain from winter... ouch...

Flushed coolant 4x and refilled with Water Wetter & Water.

Ever consider why GM just about folded? One worker, supporting 3 people who have full benefits. Benefits in the USA cost GM approximately $25K per year per person. So unless that 1 worker was producing their wage ($45K or so) plus $75K to cover retirees (with union mandated benefits for life)...

I don't know if countersteering on it's own would be enough to navigate the Dragon at that pace.

1) Riding a borrowed and unfamiliar bike at what appears to be much quicker than speed limit 2) Not slowing down when van pulls around corner 3) Attempting to squeeze between van and shoulder Add 1, 2 and 3 and you get a grand total of DUMB.

100% Rider error. What he thought he was doing I have no idea.

Guy makes some serious mistakes on a BORROWED Ducati Panigale... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=511SLUHPmRw

Repacking a long Hindle isn't a problem. Went to a local muffler manufacturer (Motivair in Elmira) - they hooked me up with 2 stainless steel wool "socks" that go over the internal perforated tube. Put a few wraps of fine wire around the sock to ensure it stayed in place, and filled the can with...

Yellow Wolf is the "goldwing guy". It's a heavily modified Goldwing with severely upgraded suspension, brakes, raised floor boards etc. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nrMQ3QwyPo

Never said he wasn't riding like an @sshat... Got passed by a local on a GSXR a couple years ago. Was tootling along at a track day warm up pace and this guy blew past me like I was riding a hardly.... I do find it amusing catching up to cruisers and them suddenly accelerating to the point...

Expert, dunno. Talented and fluent, yes.

I do believe its 30 mph (48 kmh) for the most part, with several areas down to 15 mph (25 kmh). Cruisers on average stick around that pace (there are always exceptions). Sportbikes go anywhere from posted limit (if a noob), up to double the limit or more. Here's a video of a fellow on a...

You knew your limits and rode accordingly. Good job, really! (not even a hint of sarcasm).
