Alert! Someone on the internet is *wrong!* Anyway. since no one has done it yet: front sprocket: smaller (less teeth) = faster acceleration/lower top speed larger (more teeth) = slower acceleration/higher top speed (although there is a practical limit to "higher top speed" because you need...

That was almost exactly like the tattoo shop i went to. *All* the artists were *covered* in tattoos. I tell you, i could not turn around fast enough.

Just say "look. your tits and good looks are the only reason i'm dating you. Do you really want to potentially **** with that?"

....if you're riding something older than 1980. And haven't rebuilt your carbs since then. Anything newer than that will have no issues with up to 15% ethanol. There are other *much* better reasons to not run ethanol. Like better fuel economy.

Speaking of waving: Dear guy at the lights opposite me: I waved, you waved. You forgot your bike was in gear. You let go the clutch at idle. You snapped your body a bit. I'm sorry. Also sorry i giggled. As for the riding antics lately... Yeah, it's a bit weird. I've seen more...

i think it's more to (as the article said) trim the people who are just hoping to skate with a reduced fine for pleading guilty. You don't pay the extra charge if you're found not guilty, again according to the article.

+1. (not that i'm a superbike rider, but ) I love getting on smaller bikes and being a hooligan.

This is when you're pulling enough fuel into the cylinder that you're "washing" the cylinder walls. Fuel (thinner than oil, remember) will push down into your rings, washing oil off your rings. Really excessively, fuel will get into your oil system, rendering it less effective. Typically...

Sorry, i was only thinking new. My Bad!

Since this has turned into a rant... Last Thursday morning, collector lanes southbound, traffic was around 100kph, i was in the far left lane, right side (blocking position). Dear jackass Duc rider that decided it would be fine to pass me, in my lane, on my left. Yer a dick. That is all.

I was looking at the K1300R when i bought the F800R. I didn't like some of the styling cues, and it seemed much more bike than i was used to. The 800 is a wonderful motor, and nearly vibration free. So F800R it was/is. As for chains - i've got 7000km on mine, and the chain has not needed...

just two things: 1, there was no playing with words. seller didn't say "oem". he also didn't say "not made by slave labour" or "contains no pesticides" nor did i see a mention of "slimming!". i'm sure you get my point. or are simply going to ignore it. 2, i don't have a clue who the seller or...

go for a 70's honda 360 or similar. they're light, nimble, they're going to teach you motorcycle maintenance, and they're cool. and inexpensive (*nothing* is going to be "cheap" to insure at 17) to insure.

********. he said "for" and "fits". at no point did the seller make a false claim. and it's likely that the buyer would have been quite happy except that someone told him "real ones are stamped with a maker name" or whatever the difference is. he was trying to save a few quid, and got exactly...

Shifting down in place not recommended: it isn't? Never heard that. You *should* be downshifting as you approach a stop, but if you get to the stop is, say 3rd, it's okay to sit there and keep ratcheting down to first. As for your shifting up being jerky - you might want to try shifting...

I'm kinda busy tomorrow, but what it probably needs is a tear down and good cleaning. Always a good place to start, to find out what the P.O. has done, or messed with, and to get to know your bike. And some new swear words.

Wow. Okay then, a couple of things... 1 - i've seen kill switches stop working from disuse 2 - i've never seen a kill switch stop working from use Electronically, they do the exact same thing. They stop the ignition and/or fuel pump. Habits i have: - heavy traffic, sitting at what i know is...

I would just like to take this opportunity to ***** at Cat for pulling up beside me last night. Mostly because she had her jacket zipped all the way up. I mean, seriously. if you're going to do something like that, you should be paying the piper, right? The nerve.

F800s or f800r. Really, the R. I generally hate fairings at the best of times, and the R is chain driven dual swingarm. Then again, i'm biased.

So did i. But then i apologized for falling on her, and made some inappropriate comments to cheer her up.
