I had my first crash this weekend. As far as I can tell, I locked the front up, and flew up and over. Besides the bike going for a solo ride, i went for a LONG tumble into some stacked tires. I was trying an over aggressive pass on a buddy, and he won. Lesson learned.
I wanted to take the...
UPDATE! Finished photos on page 4!
I need some opinions on paint colors. I'm open to opinions.
I picked up a new body kit for my 675 and I'm just about ready to paint it. I had a color picked out until I seem another car on the street, so now I'm down to two.
Here's my current setup. My...
Well, I finally got a contract on my previous house last week. Supposed to have a closing at the end of the month. :wav:
So I stepped up my housing search again (moved for work 2 years ago, and I've been living in an apt since). What I found out: the housing prices are still down from where...
Is anyone else having issues with their back button? I'm using internet explorer. It doesn't go back, and if I hold onto the back button, to see the previous few pages, it lists a code for a 'double click ad' of some sort.
I've noticed it here and 2 other forums.
after searching on yahoo...
Well, I got stopped for speeding today. :banghead: Its been almost 9 years since my last ticket. Both times they were by state patrol and both times i got a ticket out of it.
Unfortunatly they were set up at the bottom of a very long, steep hill on interstate, and got me when I was at a...
Usually I avoid fantasy leagues because it takes alot of commitment and takes an entire season for it to play out. :zombie:
But who's up for a picking a bracket with march madness just a few days away? Fill out a bracket once and sit back and see what happens? Doesn't take long to fill out...
are there any places in/near chicago that have a good selection of gear.
I'm talking boots, suits, helmets, ect.
alpinestars, dainese, sidi, teknic, ect.
I know of the dainese store in schaumburg, but is there anyplace else around there that i should look at if i make the trip?
I just got word from the guy that bought my bike back in June that it is done.
Apparently he hit a deer and it looks terrible. the front end is gone. the tank has a good sized dent in it, and the right slide is scraped from front to back. That includes handlebars, pegs, ect....
I have the...
I was looking at boots online, one being the alpinestars s-mx plus boots.
A* last year's designs are going for around $290 most places and the new ones are in the mid $3xx's.
I found one places on amazon that has a few of the boots 'mis-priced', new design for old price. they are hit...
hey marthy, or anyone else, ever been to the world 100 or dream at eldora?
Thought about going this year, but couldn't make it.
of course your usual drunks (warning: I'm sure there's some language in here, usually is) Nothing exciting after the first 5 seconds, but wow, what a shot...
I am curious about the plastic fasteners on the 6r, I can't remember.
are they all the same size, or were there some that had a smaller diameter or shorter in length? the ones on my 675 are a PITA screw type that are hard to get the threads to catch. I think these would be a much better...
well I am supposed to go get a new bike tomorrow. Haven't signed papers yet but have agreed verbally on the deal.
It has been exactly 3 weeks since i watched the 6r leave my garage, and those 3 weeks have been the best riding weather i've seen in the last 2 years. :mad:
I thought i'd...
would you buy a brand new 2009 bike in the middle of 2011?
would you expect a big discount?
I've been to a few dealers here lately (all makes) and i've seen a few 2009s with 0 miles. seems like alot of the bikes have not changed in the last couple years, except for color maybe, so they...
I'm going to miss my 6r, I've really enjoyed riding it. Luckily though, this is a sale thread and not a crash thread.
It was my first bike, didn't even try to get my m license until after about 200 miles of riding, i was truely green(first try though). just a couple months shy of 2 years and...
