    V-Max vs FJR

    I would have to give a different opinion on the v-max as to the others. I upgrades the fork suspension to Ohlins springs and 15w oil. I ride most of the time with the sport bike crowd down here in Florida.(Yes we have twisties). I have no problem keeping up with the vast majority of them in the...

You geussed it. The max followed me home. I've been ridin it now for about a week. Sure feels good to be...

    The Sickness

    That is sweet. Congrats. I asked my wife for one when they came out last year. Her reply was, I'm going to have to say NO to the R1. I guess I shouldn't have been lane splitting in triple digits and scraping pegs in the corners with her on the back of the feejer. Now she knows my game. Oh well...

    Cruisers Vs Sport Tourers

    I don't ride with any cruisers. Just for the reason stated above. They can't or don't keep up. So I don't bother. When I ride with the sport bikes. Their only complaint with me is the bags.
