If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Day rides around Nashville

    I might end up in Nashville a little this year. Are there any good day rides in, and around, the area? What is the area like for riding in general?

    When to Replace Tires

    I dunno if you can really trust that. In the middle of rally, in a remote part of northern WI, on a Saturday afternoon, of the guys riding with us (a noob) asked, "do you think there is something wrong with my rear tire?" We checked and it and sure enough there were cords showing around most...

    When to Replace Tires

    In addition to the above flatspotting will kill a tire before its time. Out here in Flatistan we ride many miles on long, straight roads. The tires develop flat spots in the middle of the tread. Even with tread still showing these flat spots can impact handling so much that it is time to...

    FZ-09 demo bike - Columbus Ohio, Pony Powersports

    I suspect this is going to be a huge seller for Yami. I'm not in a position to buy one now but I'm thinking this will be my next street bike. Good for you guys to provide a demo bike. I don't live near there, but if I can get out to the area I'll swing by and throw a leg over. Good luck! I...

    BMW R Nine T

    Yeah, that's the shame of it. But if it gets the claimed mileage it would be about on par with my Bandit. And I, unfortunately, do not get tour coast-to-coast so being forced to stop every 150-180 miles for fuel is not terrible. In fact, most of the time I'm riding with people on some rather...

    BMW R Nine T

    I'm pretty excited about the FZ-09. I could see adding one of these to the garage in a few years. They're pretty cheap new so I'm hoping used prices will be very reasonable. Until the FZ-09 I lusted after a Triumph Street Triple R, but the FZ-09 is has everything the Street Triple R has and...

    BMW R Nine T

    First I've seen of it. Thanks for sharing. I like the looks a lot. Never spent much time on their boxer motors so don't know how they compare to the sweet, buttery smooth Japanese inline fours.

    look what followed me home...REeeeeeek!

    Thats a great movie! Love the groovy music. Seems Suzuki was pretty sure their rotary engine would change motorcycling forever. I actually saw one in person at a recent motorcycle show. Would love to have heard it run. In the movie it sounds like a prop airplane buzzing by.

    Friend crashed. She's ok. Her story.

    I've seen her in a variety of gear over the last year or so but its always high end. I suspect she was wearing what I saw her in last which was a a high end two-piece armored leather suit (Alpine Stars?), a full face non-modular helmet (forget the make), and Lee Park's gauntlet style leather...

    Friend crashed. She's ok. Her story.

    A friend and colleague of mine went down recently. Here is what she told me about what happened. I omitted some details for her anonymity. Be careful out there and for heaven's sake...ATGATT!!! ================================================== Well, I've finally joined the ranks of those...

    Tires - Sport Touring Radials

    I've mostly run PR2s on my Bandit and really like them. I'll replace this set with another set (or maybe I'll try the PR3s) later this season.

    Hints for installing valve cover gasket so it comes off easy next time?

    Yeah, I hit my new valve cover gasket on both sides with WD-40 5 years ago. Its been fine for several valve adjustments since then.

    77 Needs new forks

    77, 78, and 79 750 forks will all fit. The advantage of going with 78 or 79 is you can upgrade to dual disk brakes.

    Total Control Track Clinic

    Sweet! Come to think of it, I should probably start a new thread in the meeting place section. I'll do that pretty soon.

    Total Control Track Clinic

    Guess I missed your first question since I don't see it. I think the prices are the same this year as last. I'm sure if we can get as few as six folks to take the class together we can get some kind of discount.
