I have an opportunity to put up a cool poster in my newly refinished bathroom (used only by me 99.9% of the time). BTW -- bathroom refinishing is hard. Suggest a poster. Only rules are that it cannot be misogynistic or degrading. My initial thought -- Guy Martin riding in the Isle of Man TT.

I currently have Repsol 4T racing syntheric in my bike, and I'm at the end of my first 5K with my oil and filter. I plan to change oil and leave the filter on for the second 5K. I am switching to Mobile 1, either now or after the next change, and I have about a liter of Repsol in the bottle on...

Speaking of gas mileage...in the last month I have gotten a new smoke visor for my helmet. So, I have a new racey attitude and have changed my riding style to more of a Hooligan frame of mind -- hot launches from lights, hard revving (almost never ride under 5K and often peaking over 8k.) As a...

the straight has no cars you don't know you're not breathing the bend is ahead you pressure the peg well before, the weight slides left is gravel ahead? four points of contact are you jamming in too hard? think: one hand control you're into the curve all four points of contact...

Looking for a 50cc moped/scooter. Rider is a large (6'3"+) young man. Looking at the Honda Ruckus, maybe the Yamaha Zuma or Vino. Your thoughts...? Please spare me the usual moped jokes and the general nose snubbing of these little bikes. Thanks

Hi fellow cheapskates! I have the following, willing to ship to you for the price of postage: 1) stock fender/taillight assembly 2) stock windshield 3) K&N synthetic oil filter Additionally, I tried to get the Forum to start rotating training materials (see...

STOMPGRIP Online | Welcome The BEST thing I have ever added to my bike is STOMPGRIP. Its a performance upgrade. I now think that anyone riding a sport bike with a slippery gas tank is riding it wrong! Stompgrip connects me to my bike, invites me to squeeze with my legs, this in turn makes...

I had an interesting experience this weekend -- my first real group ride (or part of one!) The group -- Virginia Sport Riders, working through meetup.com. I have about 3 months in the club as a watcher, not a participater. The plan -- meeting in springfield, va. Down 95S to some twisties...

My first winter is fast approaching, and my hands are Sooo cold. So, I'm looking into the heated grip/glove ideas, and I'd like to gain from your experiences.

I have been a big fan of NastyButler's paint job, and thinking about trying to pull something like that off this winter. I'm a raw rookie when it comes to automotive paint. The goal is to incorporate some elements similar to what Valentino Rossi rocks Valentino Rossi Pictures - 2007...

I've bounced around the LeatherUps, MCStupidStore, KneeDraggers, others. I wanna tell you that Revzilla Rocks. I just went through a helment replacement where I emailed for 2 days with a customer service person who was totally interested in my happiness and satisfaction. Plus -- free...

Just finished reading Total Control by Lee Parks. I'd like to start an initiative to pass books and videos around the forum. Here's the scheme: a) first responder to this thread with their snailmail address gets the book next b) when they are done, or one week, whichever comes first, they...

Hi: I'm about to install a PSR 2-UP passenger bar. It came with no directions at all, but it seems totally obvious what the plan is -- take out the screws that hold the filler cap on, put on the 2-UP, and screw it back together. My question -- when I remove all of these screws, is whatever...

Gonna try this thing out. I'll let you know. Link

Reading the manual, it says if you are heavier than 198lb to increase the tire pressure, but goes back to the lower pressure if you plan "high speed riding." Questions: **Do you increase the pressure in some sort of continuum as you increase weight? With my daily gear, I'm at about 195lb. My...

Got the new Yama tank pad for a 2012 Fz6r. Fit is a little tough but I've managed to crush it down. BUT I wanted the white pad to go on a white bike, but the pad is WAY off-white adn looks totally dorky on the factory-painted white tank. Returned for black fiber. Yahama white parts dont...

New rider with a new FZ6R. Did my first 600 miles in 9 days, including 80 mi per weekday of commuting. My dealer has a huge backup of service jobs, and told me that the 600 mile service is an oil change and a bunch of inspection, so I changed my own oil and am waiting my turn ... a) my bike...
