    Monitoring software for cell phones

    Wow. You're having a serious trust issue with her, and yet you're ready to buy a ring?!?! You really need to re-evaluate where you are in life. This is absolute high school crap, not worthy of a guy in his 30's who should know better. What happens if she starts doing more stuff on her own...

    Rossi says he's gotta get better by race 6, or he'll retire at the end of 2014. http://www.visordown.com/motorcycle-racing-news-moto-gp/rossis-motogp-future-rests-on-first-six-races-of-2014/24077.html

    Italian Electric Sportbike - Energica Ego

    I dunno. I think it's better to be honest and up front with what your bike is than make a whack of claims that are false or misleading. 99% of the bikes on the street are not ridden to their potential at all (and that would make 99% of us poseurs then). If you're riding a modern SS 600+ to the...

    Italian Electric Sportbike - Energica Ego

    Directly from the FAQ on the website: What about the range of Energica? The range depends on its use, just like any type of vehicle. You’ll get about 150 km range with an average speed of 80 km/h, and 190/200 km with an average speed of 60 km/h (street circuit). On racetrack you’ll get about 50...

    riding out the dealer

    If bike is financed they will want to see proof of insurance before letting you take it out of the dealership. Read the fine print of your contract. It will all be in there.

    MotoGP 2014

    Curses. Open mouth and insert foot to knee. Train of thought off the tracks. Wonder if Hayden's riding position is due to his always trying to get weight forward on Ducati. Looks sooooo much farther up and forward than MM.

    MotoGP 2014

    Interesting to see the difference in their body position. Wonder if Hayden was trying to move it weight farther forward to help get some more front end feel? One thing Rossi and just about all other riders complained about was that they couldn't get enough weight on the front wheel due to the...

    Wsbk 2014

    Agree with SweetOnion.. Melandri will be tough to be beat riding the Ape (no, not his GF, who is after all, hot). EBR (Erik Buell Racing) is entering this year too. Will be tough for them to meet the homolgamation rules with their limited production capacity. Can't see them doing well - after...

    Is this the beginning of the end for Harley?

    Got me there, no financial degree for me. BUT, you have to admit, any company that runs themselves into the ground to the point that they rely on a government bailout (i.e. give us money or we are dead) has obviously done something wrong.

    Is this the beginning of the end for Harley?

    Correct. Porsche designed the motor for Buell, but then HD got their paws on it, added 70 pounds of dead steel weight because it didn't look like a HD motor and promptly threw it into the V-Rod. No longer useful to Buell with the weight, so they went to Rotax for the 1125 engine.

    Is this the beginning of the end for Harley?

    The whole MV thing was a debacle. HD already had liquid cooling and good EFI packages from Buell. Those were already approved for use in California. Many financial analysts think it was a mistake from day 1. A total write down of about $162 million just for MV Agusta alone. Add in the $125...

    Is this the beginning of the end for Harley?

    Fixed. Only other thing is that HD had a massive US government bailout a couple years back (very similar to the GM situation) that was very much swept under the rug. They were making more money from their "apparel and fashion" departments than on the bikes. More money on dog dishes and...
