    Have attitudes changed?

    Wow, some issues here. I thought this thread was about saying please and thank-you. Some people think too much. Deeds, not words.

    Have attitudes changed?

    Your first line hits it on the head. This is a question for the mirror. We have no control over the actions of others. We can only control ourselves. One needs to ask themselves in the mirror...how am I being selfish and how can I be more selfless. Perhaps others here can list examples that...

    Looking for some help on a ticket

    Where on the 400 did this occur? Visit the scene again in daytime and if safe, take some pics. Make note of other factors such as hills, crests and valleys. Curves and bridges. Make note of all the environmental factors. Even though some of this won't help at the trial, it could keep your...

    Kids on Motorcycles: What Age & What Circumstances

    An interesting article. Nicely re-iterates many of the comments here. http://www.motorcyclistonline.com/howto/street_savvy/122_1204_riding_two_up_with_a_child/ A link to a child harness. I'm still on the fence about this one. I don't know if tying the child to you is safer if involved in a...

    Have you dropped your bike?

    To make some riders feel better, I thought this post may help. I think all (and I mean ALL) motorcycle riders have dropped their bikes at some point in their riding lives. Mine was at 20 when I got my first bike. Right out of the dealership parking lot. Huge lowside. Needed a new right...

    consequences of having dropped the bike 3 times in one ride.....??

    One sec, that "instructor" said you were 'ready to ride on the road' after 4 hours??? There's someone who needs a career change. But OP, take a good listen to Busa Bob. Take a step back and Stop riding until you've taken the course (ask a buddy to help you take the bike to get it checked...

    Ownership

    If (and when) you have a claim, the insurance company will investigate. If they discover that you are the primary driver and have care, custody and control of the vehicle (ie, who's $$ went to pay for the bike, who did the maintenance, repairs, etc), they can deny the claim. Remember it's...

    consequences of having dropped the bike 3 times in one ride.....??

    Based on this, you should get the bike checked out. Without you listing out year, make and mileage, it's going to be difficult for anyone to give you advice. Also, 3 drops in one ride is quite a story. Your instructor was definitely sub-par. He taught and trained you for 16 hours...

    New (used) car suggestions?

    Interesting that Acura no advertises the CSX. $27,000 (base price) for ILX? IMHO, 2013 Ford Focus ST or Titanium way better value.
