    RideGear.com

    Well I don't have much time to post up but I wanted to get it on here before someone makes the same mistake I did. I purchased a back protector and armored riding shorts from this vendor (RideGear.com). Did not get an email saying they had shipped after 4 days, I sent in a follow up email...

    I'm surprised this one isn't already posted somewhere here, maybe it is? After seeing some of those ridiculous Mini Golf scores I was curious to see the scores for this one as well...best I've done so far is a little over 27 seconds. Red Dot Game

    Broken Bike (not fjr), leads to a 2 guy 2-up ride home

    Well today was a nice enough day in Winchester Va, so a buddy of mine and I went for a ride to Romney Wv to check out a dealership. He on his SV650 and me on the FJR. The ride was nice, it was chilly but I had the heated gear on and I'm riding an '05 so I was fine. My buddy on his naked SV...

    Track Day Ready

    I'm finally ready to have a go at the track. So this all may be for sale in a month as well. The matching outfit is pretty silly, I keep tellin' myself it's "okay" on the track. Most likely I'll be a natural and have sponsors etc., so my colors will probably change...ya know, whoever is the...

    Adding Brake Fluid

    I have a gsxr that has almost zero brake fluid in the reservoir. I was wondering if you can just top it off with the same type of brake fluid or if you have to bleed the system first?? Also it hasnt been ridden in about a year, do you think there is a leak somewhere or do you think its low...

    Mapsource Routes

    Just attempting to learn mapsource again and I was curious if when creating multiple "loops" are you guys using one file all originating from home? Or do you open up a new mapsource file for each new route? If I open a new one all of my points of interest and waypoints are gone. If you load a...

    Sportbike Insurance...

    Wasn't sure if I should post here or on the Insurance forum. Anyway, I was looking at a 2006 Gsxr-600, for around the town and some track days...i think its a great deal at $6000...with only 1000 miles on it and an aftermarket pipe. I called my insurance today and they said it would be $1200...

    Superbike School...

    So which do you think I should do first? I can use the FJR and learn how to use MY bike better. On the other hand I can use use their bike, and be on a true sportbike (which ive never really been on and sounds like fun). Whacha think?? Any comments on the school would be appreciated too.
