yeah its freezing up here...crossed into IL tonight. I'm wearing a hooded flannel over a wind breaker over my leather jacket...haha my ape doesn't have much wind protection, so that doesn't help...damn bastards on HDs and BMWs, in non-helmet law states I'm chattering my teeth layered up and I...

people so situationally unaware that they would be "surprised" or frightened by a passing bike are more dangerous than fast and aggressive riders or drivers. look in your god damn mirrors...they're not on there as a decoration. ESPECIALLY on a motorcycle, there is zero excuse for not knowing...

And the problem with that is what? We don't need SS bikes to be chased down, we need less enforcement and higher speed limits. The fatties don't need special bikes paid for by us just to chase down the occasional guy on a sportbike. Get his plates and investigate later.

well my buddy's team won, so maybe he's a bad example

Yeah I've been to PHX a number of times in summer...outside is an oven. Made it to Santa Rosa, NM, nothing to really take a pic of as its dark outside but tomorrow I'll upload some I took today. It's not really too hot anywhere, even when I left LA the Mohave was like 80F, max. I had to stop...

This the problem, and there is no way it is within the charter, no matter what has held up in court. Because speed limits aren't set to reasonable speeds (a speed limit should be set to the highest speed it is safe to travel at in ideal conditions) but instead are set for revenue generation...

oh yeah, and maybe you thought of this already, but before you start screwing with the bike by adding different fork springs or a different rear spring...have you tried just backing the preload all the way off? the static sag will be screwed up, but it may make enough of a difference for her to...

Just do it...until you approach the limits of the bike in ground clearance while cornering or going over bumps, it doesn't matter. The naysayers are right in theory, but in practice what they are saying isn't relevant for you and your girl. I lowered one of my bikes so my girl can ride it, but...

I chuckled at the people asking why...FSAE projects are extreme, there is no need to give the OP any "suggestions" on what to use for EFI or give him feedback on what to do with the engine...either provide help with the original question or remain silent. Have a buddy who was an engineer for an...

pretty much ideal...there was a monsoon here recently and the entire desert is green and beautiful. Temps are ideal during the day with a perforated jacket and touring pants, and at night chilly but bearable in just a t-shirt...if it was like this all year round here I'd buy up some property...

I found some really sick roads off 7A but they're all up closer to Ottawa (past Kingston)...looks like if I move back it'll be taking turns trips up there and trips to Pennsylvania on weekends

Stopped in Kingman, AZ for the night. Going to find some beer and maybe a steak, and check out the local talent. Edit: why do pictures turn huge when I link them with IMG? lol, the board should do some re-sizing automatically http://i.imgur.com/jQZ9XEE.jpg http://i.imgur.com/kYwK5lE.jpg I...

She's not really meant for cross-country touring, but she'll make it. http://i.imgur.com/Cm7trA8.jpg

Starting this thread as a placeholder for updates and pics! I've always wanted to do this ride, finally getting the opportunity/time. Updates to come tonight with whereever I end up stopping.

hey no worries, I actually thought there was another road there I missed, was kinda bummed about it. I have canyons and good tracks at home, as far as my vacations back to Ontario are concerned it was cool just to see a bunch of bikes in one place.

what road near the forks can you actually ride fast on? I tried going there on one of my trips up and there was like 3 turns and then you're at hwy 10, lol, I know you can't expect Cali canyons in Ont, but I think I must be missing something

lol, "not caring enough". I've seen several seemingly pro-legal authority posts from you that are pretty nonsensical in nature...are you a LEO? prosecutors are absolutely ruthless, the only reason they EVER give ground is when they know they don't have a good chance to get a conviction. if...

All runners? No, but me? Yes. If you try to stop me and I was going 50 over, I'm gone...**** taking my bike for what is in some cases reasonable and necessary behavior to pass people safely. Grew up in Ont, and did a few stupid things when younger, but I stopped when the blue lights...

"shiny new mercedes" "I'm in blocking position" "impatient lady" "not that I've been riding below speed limit" passive aggressive ********** like you are why many people in ONT hate motorcycles...GET THE F*** out of the way when someone is faster than you...your speed relative to the speed...

you call it responsibility, I call it you being a puss...semantics really...speeding is illegal, yet everyone in Ont does it and now it's accepted practice. Maybe it's time you live up to your responsibility as a rider and start splitting so it can be accepted too... I doubt you were splitting...
