    Rain suits for big guys

    I've had a hard time finding a rain suit to fit. Got some extra padding around the middle, and i can't find nothing comfortable. Anybody else have the same problem? I'm 6'2 @275, I would also like a suit big enough to just slip it on over my riding gear, but still be able to move.

    drop in MPG's

    I've noticed my mpg's have dropped. I'm barely getting 40. I used to get mid 40's all the time. I noticed the drop about the same time i had a bad case of farkleitis. I added a Givi 46 and 2 bros exhaust. Does the top case cause more drag? or is it from being able to hear the bike growl...

    intro to crash club

    Am i part of the club now? I didn't crash luckily, but my bike was run over in the parking lot. It had been sitting in the same spot for 5 days in a row, and some jackass :asshat: backed into it, knocking it off the center stand. Looks like pretty much every piece of plastic is going to...

    motoGP vs. Superbike

    Could somebody enlighten me a little on the bike racing divisions. What is MotoGP, and Superbike, and AMA. It all looks the same to me when i see it on TV. It would might be a little more fun to watch it if i understood the differences. I know they got something coming to Atlanta over Labor...

    MC tire store only

    For those of us not MC mechanical, I would recommend two brothers tires in Lawrenceville. They were the best price of any body i called. Very good people to deal with. I think it is twobrotherstires.com It was $350 out the door to have a set of Road smarts put on my 07. That was them taking...

    Atlanta ride for kids

    Sunday, June 1, Northpoint mall, off of Ga 400 north of Atlanta. Is anybody else planning on going? If you've never done it, it is a good time. Police escorted, kind of slow pace, but you can run the red lights legally, besides it raises money for sick kids. After staying for the ceremony...

    How to fill the back seat up

    I've tried to get the old lady on the feej. She was brought up thinking bikes are death traps for the crazy at heart. I don't ride stupid (she don't know what goes on in the mountains), but she can't get over the fear to even try it. Her friends that ride tell her she will love it. She rode...

    when to change front tire

    I am running the metzlers that my 07 came with. The rear is going to need replacing in the near future. I've never had a new bike before so this might be a dumb question. Do i need to change the front at the same time as the rear, or does it matter to change the front later on. The front...

    map in your signature line

    when you post how do you get the map of the US at the bottom. I want to start filling in the states i've hit so far. I'm sure this is something easy to do, but for the computer illiterate it might as well be printed in ancient Chinese right in front of me. Thanks for the help.
