    Raffle for custom leathers

    News about this has spread to many motorcycle web boards. I don't think the people who put this together had any idea how much attention it would generate. Even other businesses have jumped in with offers for raffle winnings or matching donations.

    Rode the 04 r1

    Until this Spring I had a Busa, a wonderful bike.  I now ride an '04 R1.  Please allow me to clear up a few things and expound on the merits of both machines. The R1 is not a terribly uncomfortable bike.  At 5'10" I find the reach to the bars to be natural and comfy.  The seat to peg...

    Why is it so dark...

    Hey!  Smile when you say that!   Anyway, I'd love to see us abandon the Daylight Savings nonsense too.  But I think the main reason it is kept is for schools.  So kids aren't going to or coming from school in the dark. PS  Those farmer toys are generally more like $200,000 each, give or take...

    Where does your loyalty stand!!!

    I have no brand loyalty whatsoever. And I'm not about to develop any. I'll buy whichever bike strikes my fancy, regardless of country of origin or brand name. If it looks good, does what I want, has performance numbers I can live with, and I can afford it... I might well get it. Manufacturers...

    What's the big deal about Radial mounted brakes?

    It is my understanding that a larger and heavier rotor would have an impact on MOI (moment of inertia), causing a slower turn in and decreased agility, by adding rotational wheel mass. This is assuming that all other factors remain equal. However, for the radial mounted calipers found on newer...

    What's the big deal about Radial mounted brakes?

    During exreme racing conditions, conventionally mounted calipers do twist slightly relative to the axle.  They rely on the rotors themselves for some of their resistance to these twisting forces.  But this causes the rotors to warp slightly (generally not permanently) while braking.  All of...

    TWO WHEELED TUESDAYS ON SPEED

    I'd like to see a sport bike dedicated show in the line-up. Not just about pro racing either. They have two shows that are almost completely dedicated to customizing cruisers. Why not a weekly segment on customizing or optimizing consumer level sport bikes?

    Daytona 200 Yates Kangaroo Kick

    I've read in other places that Yates is going to have charges pressed against him.  I've no idea what the AMA is going to do, but he ought to get fines and point penalties.   I watched the race on SPEED and that accident seemed to be mostly Yates' fault.  It looked to me like the other guys was...

    Sport Biker Article

    Here is a pretty decent article about sport bikers in Daytona. Not particularly harsh or filled with condemnation, but still accurate. I liked it. http://www.n-jcenter.com/NewsJou....504.htm
