I guess it all boils down to what you like and feel comfortable on. I have personally riden a couple SV1000's, TL1000R's and a couple Harleys/Harley based bikes. I like the torque of the V-Twin engines, it is so smooth and all over the rpm range, but Japanese to Harley, Japanese wins in the "less vi...

Update

Well, the verdict is in, surgery is required. The E.R. people misread the x-rays and what they thought was a broken collar bone was just the fuzzyness of the swelling showing up on the x-ray friday night. I had a MRI on wedsnesday and weighted x-rays on thursday. I have a 3rd degree seperation of th...

To add fuel to the fire, this guy (country1340) is a motorcycle mechanic at the Memphis Victory shop and pulled the motor out himself so one would think he noticed that motor mount issue. I would say more than likely he "caused" the motor mount issue. Sorry to hear about your bad luck Silver, I hav...

Hey guys, thanks for the kind words, crashing does suck, but it is a fact of riding. This crash I really dont blame on myself, more so the city for the massive potholes they didnt fix when they re-blacktopped the road. Everyone keeps telling me I should sue the city for repairs to the bike and my me...

LOL These things are cool to look at, but thats about it, in my opinion. I worked at a bike shop that sold pocket bikes one year for Christmas, what junk they were, seemed like every single bike came back for repair (except 2, the guy bought them for display only). Most of the problem was clutch rel...

My own version...

Iowa - You dont like it here? We have 2 Interstates, I-35 and I-80, pick one!

New Mexico - Nothing here, seriously, there really is nothing out here.

Arizona, California and Texas - If it werent for us, there would still be Mexicans in Mexico.

I have always used Suzuki's chain lube it says it has "S-Moly" in it. Anyways, I always lube my chain when it is hot from riding (just what I was taught to do).

Ok guys, dont hate on me, I bought another bike from the "Dark Side". I love my FZR but have ALWAYS had a thing for gixxers, so here she is, my newest ride, a 1993 GSXR1100W. The engine is punched out to a 1117 (they are 1074 stock) which bumped the compression from 11.1:1 upto 12.0:1, the head has ...
