I knew axxing Buell was bullshit.

2001 Honda F4i, red and white paint with a yoshi slip on. Had it for 3 years before I crashed it at 20 mph and sold it. Bike was way too fast to learn on, but somehow I survived. Best riding times in my life so far. How about you guys?

They ride like bats out of hell...I live in Buffalo NY and despite it raining out earlier I seen about 7 or 8 of them riding and blow through a stop sign going about 60 and everytime I seen a black dude on a sportbike he is riding like he stole it(prolly cuz he did) but thats beside the point :onfloor

Hi;
I'm looking to get in a tour a-la-Long Way Around style, but on a much smaller scale. I'm a new biker, and want to "hit the open road", with a touring company that can set me up, and film the ride for my travel site and tv show Just Say Go Tv.

Do ya'll have any recommendations on any good motorcycle tour companies, that you can recommend?
There's GlobeRiders® - Your Motorcycle Adventure Tour and Multimedia Company - Come Ride the World with Us!, but they seem to focus on international, I'm looking for a 7 to 10 day trip in the South, maybe California, or even Mexico.

Thx.

not sure if this is the correct section but i'll give it a whirl..

can someone clear some of the lingo up for me? i'm looking for a dirt bike and i figured a 250 would be more than suitable for me.. i've heard that 125s lack the grunt and 250s are just right.. but everywhere i look (KTM, Yamaha, Suzuki, whatever) they have models categorized in "Off-Road" then in "Motocross" and usually with the same engine sizes!

what i want to know is: what's the real difference between this "Off-Road" 250 business as opposed to the "Motocross" 250.. i'm sure there are suspension tweaks and what not but seriously, lay it out for me.

thanks

I started doing this on an 03 gixxer 1k. Done it on busa's, and an old zx6 of my buddies (no steering damper) and now my 10.
Basically, on the smoothest street, click into neutral and coast in on the back brake, hands on the tank, behind you, wherever. Just not on the controls.
At the lone star rally I had a guy ask me if I tightened up my steering to be able to do this :)
Warning though: at least in tx, the cops consider it reckless driving if you take both hands off the bars.
I may do a couple vids tomorrow on my blackberry for any nay sayers

I over heard at the shop today when I was pickin up some new plugs that its bad for the engine but I've also heard it has no affect. I find myself more and more frequently down shifting to slow down...I still do use my brakes just not as much...Not sure why I do this but just wondering if there is any harm in it...

BTW: I'm just talking about everyday riding like at stoplights and stop signs.

sweet as fawk tho!

oh yeah...

:twofingerJust thought I would add to what ever the hell is going on here.....

I guess this would add to the loud pipes thread...I was ridin next to a buddy this past weekend with a D&D and i never realized how loud they are at over 8k...they scream...Idk about yuou but that sure as hell would get my attention...

Not.

Can I get an AMEN?

I know it is a ways off, but trying to figure out best place to stay for the event that is close and reasonable. I can fly from BNA to SFO for $268, which is dirt cheap, but then I saw the $190 for 3 days of CAMPING. WTH? If I can't find decent place that I can reserve this far out, I'll likely just pass on the trip altogether and hit the Indy event at least.

Been to Monterey for the day many times, but never stayed anywhere near there. I always fly into SFO, stay somewhere in the city and do day trips there so I need some advice.

Looking to go to the event on the cheap, and camping at the track is fairly pricy (unless it is *really* nice) Any good places to camp nearby that aren't $60+ a night? I know hotels can be really expensive there, and I don't want to have hours to drive every day if I can help it.

Looking to get there on the cheap, since I have airfare, car, event tix to pay for. I have done MotoGP Indy 2 years running, and would like to hit both US events next year.

TIA
