How many motorcycle riders involved in writing the report. Quick answer: None. This is like the kids that will program the self driving cars. Zero to little driving experience. Self driving cars will be the Darwinism of the human race and this Darwinisim will probably start with us motorcycle...

A list of the obvious road infrastructure improvements to make our lives less dangerous. My opinion - educate the cage drivers about vulnerable road users such as motorcycle riders and reduce cage onboard distractions. Link for your evaluation...

Just got my ticket for Sunday. Used Ticketmaster. Surprisingly not a bad deal for a grandstand ticket.

Hollow stiffer than solid? No. Weight to Stiffness ratio better for hollow? Yes Crudely speaking, material away from the center of the cross section contributes more to bending stiffness than material close to the center. Bending stiffness of a circular solid section is proportional to the...

I am not quite sure this will work. Do you take off your helmet to blow in the tube? Oh, I forgot, if you are drunk you do not wear a helmet. I guess we need nannys to save us from ourselves. https://www.trb.org/main/blurbs/176189.aspx

Information overload or another excuse for cage drivers to pay no attention to motorcycles? https://www.traffictechnologytoday.com/news.php?NewsID=85569

I am a cheap b*std. Like the Kevlar areas on this one. However, I have not tested it during the height of the Texas summer. It seems to pass more air (that did no sound right) than my old Olympia Airglide. I have the orange hi viz and it burns your retinas...

Yes, no big washer in the Gen 2s, everything else about the same. You Fred are a photo pack rat.Thanks

As I recollect it when doing revalve and respring of Gen 2 forks, the top of the cartridges is narrower than the Gen 1 cartridges. Pictures of the naked Gen 2 cartridges are available in several fantastic write ups provided by this FJR community. So the problem compounded with the wider...

Race Tech here with gold valves. Invested a great deal of time to figure out the stack that went in the tubes. Major challenges are related to the spacer length, you will have to cut the spacer since the Race Tech springs are longer than stock, which is a good thing in my opinion for the...
