    moved up to a ninja 300 from a cbr 125, regretting it --- why is bigger better?

    I'm the OP. I learned on a 500 on those roads! my god, if we had something like that here. the drive to whistler was amazing. traffic could suck but breathless nonetheless.

    What work did you do on your bike today?

    i'd already ridden mine a bunch of times, but today i changed the oil and polished the heck out of it. oh, and dropped my brand new helmet right on the beautifully clear visor putting a scratch right in my line of sight.

    need to buy a new helmet and jacket tomorrow - best/closest to downtown?

    Just back from GP Bikes. Holy **** that place is fantastic. I will never go to another store again, and only 30 minutes from downtown (i'm just off the DVP so that shaves a few minutes off). There isn't even another shop that comes close to comparing.

    Is it okay to have my battery connected now without running it much?

    I pulled the bike out of the garage on Friday as I was itching to ride. All went really well (holy F-ng potholes!). Battery was on a trickle charger and is good, but now I'm back to work this week and won't be able to ride much, if at all, until the weather gets better. Is the battery okay, or...

    bent forks or tubes or... (damned car drivers and their not knowing how to reverse!)

    anyone else ever adjust their forks this way? by triple clamp, i'm assuming uppermost bolts on the forks nearest the bars. my user manual doesn't refer to them as triple clamps and doesn't have this tweak as a diagram (go figure).

    bent forks or tubes or... (damned car drivers and their not knowing how to reverse!)

    another inch and the stand would have flipped up and it would have tipped over. so close. i don't know how it didn't fall over, but perhaps the rain helped it slide a little on the asphalt. i looked out my window as she was ripping away, then my neighbor texted me to say he thought she hit my...

    best selection of gear in gta?

    I went to riders-choice in Miss. and the Honda dealership, and both had not much choice. I was looking for an alpine stars jacket and maybe a net for the back seat, and neither had neither. where do people go for selection and price?
