I would say that:
1) situational awareness
2) good avoidance maneuvering skill
3) a well maintained machine
4) proper protective gear with reflective high visibility materials
5) DOT / SNELL approved helmets
all save far more lives than the ability to make a loud noise. If loud pipes really...
I always carry a swiss army tinker knife. It's small and light and has everything i need on it. I've fixed everything from servers to lawn movers with it, pulled splinters and shortened belts, and never used the blade as a screw driver. I'm about to buy my 3rd. My first one I gave to my dad...
This is reposted from my local forum, but I figured you guys will have some good info too.
I went to work on building my bar yesterday, when before I even got started, the cord reel from the ceiling of my garage, fell, traveled over 4 feet horizontally in the air, to zero in on smashing a...
The big killer with noise on a bike is always the wind noise. Anything that blocks the wind is going to help to save your hearing. That being said, if your headphones don't seal completely and don't insulate from latent wind noise, you are going to be playing music probably at a higher level...

Wish I could get either the suit or the helmet, but I'm just too big. Suit won't be long enough for my 6'5" 250lb frame (36" inseam), and my noggin is an...

It's like they say man, $*it happens. My buddy who has been riding for years and years just dropped his Aprilia Tuono when parking at work Friday morning. He just happened to lose his balance at low speed and over it went.
It happens to most everyone at some point, so hopefully you have...
You know what they say:
If you don't like the weather in New England, go back to where ever the hell you came from!
j/k Nice to see another Raven in a 100 mile radius!

Firth thing. I'm jealous of your ninja 1000. If you're ever up my way, maybe you could think about letting me take her for a spin around the block. :-)
And about my post before, I'm just used to my other forums where if someone wants something, they pm the person with their e-mail address for...
I though dibs ended in third grade when I would atomic wedgie the kid who called dibs? Temper tantrums have effectively ended calling shotgun, firsties, and the requirement to call seat backs or 9's in my little world.
Anyways, lets all be big boys and girls and let the first person with...
