    Photo shoot went well today

    Great location and a good looking bike. The model is attractive, but borderline too skinny. A few tips; Turn down your exposure a bit. It was obviously a very sunny day. One of the most difficult things about shooting outdoors is sun and shadows. You have to be very aware of where the...

    Carrera S smoked me in the twisties

    Power to weight, the bike will get off the line and hussling much faster than nearly any car. And bikes have a gyroscopic effect that limits how much acceleration they can attain in the turn - car's wheels are already upright. I too read a similar car vs. bike article a few years ago where...

    How do i win this???!!!

    Lawyer up, and get one that knows motorcycles. Be completely honest with the him/her and don't say a word. You cannot win in a road-side with a cop. They issue ticket, you fight them in court.

    any leftover nib 08's. my 07 was ripped

    I would friggin' LOOSE it right there!! "Ya, and maybe it was you that stole it? You did know I owned one, and where I live... Where were YOU when it was stolen? Huh? Anyone confirm that? Huh? Sounds pretty stupid, doesn't it? Almost as stupid as suggesting I'd remove upgrade parts from...

    ZX-14 is the FASTEST ????

    I too am glad they're getting away from the stunting crowd. There's a place for that, but it's not on national television. It's similar to paintball - done in a controlled environment it's fine, but get a couple yahoo's out on the street and everyone is a hooligan.

    battery problems?

    First, :welcome: Lots of good ideas, and intentions too, but a hot start issue should be fairly straight forward to figure out. I can feel your pain on trust with dealers - I am a inter-provincially licensed auto mechanic myself, and know WAYYY too many shops that will steal your blood if they...

    A poll on Gravedigging..like it or not?

    If the original post of the thread is a question like "what should I buy", then no. But if it's a review or comment, then sure. Talk about grave digging... I just logged in yesterday for the first time in 5 years! ---->

    To Test Ride, Or Not To Test Ride???

    I have found every buyer that was serious and ready-to-go has been very understanding of sellers protecting their bikes. I do a quick explanation that it's an expensive and easy to steal piece of equipment, so my rules are firm. The bike is viewed and demonstrated by me at my home The...

    New owner with a few questions...

    First, :welcome: Second, the clutch switch does not activate the neutral map. The gear position sensor does that. The jumper was to avoid buying the $12 switch, and probably just because it was a nuisance to get to the dealer more than the cost of it. I am researching the Busa thus far, and...

    Supension

    I had the same thing on my SV.. it was the rear tire flatting from commuting. Try increasing your tire pressure 5 psi, and ride again. If reduced, you need a new tire.

    Auto help needed

    Bank 1 sensor 2, and Bank 2 sensor 2. Both are AFTER CAT sensors. The heater element becomming open is quite common - I get at least one a week with one of those two codes. The Taurus uses 2 cats up near the exhaust manifold, one on each bank. For each, there is a PRE and a POST 02 sensor. The...
