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...

This guy is still my favorite retard. It's a little long but so worth watching. YouTube - Squid On Suzuki GSX-R Owned - Speeders Fight Back

I just use a big box of these guys. Available at any local drug store. Hearos*Xtreme Protection Series Ear Plugs | Walgreens

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...

By liquid diet you mean drinking just beer right? Ah I remember the good old days when I was on a liquid diet. I called them my 20's... 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...

Damn son you bought a BEAST! :rockon:

I was gonna say rub some dirt on it, but yeah what he said!

That is too funny! No one in my family rides a bike, but my fiancée's family are a bunch of harley folks. They only give me mild amounts of guff about being a rice burner, and I only give them mile guff about having to ride down the road with an oil can in hand to keep it topped off. Back...

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...

Wish you guys were closer, sounds like fun! If I avoid highways I could almost make it there in 9 hours lol.

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! :wav:

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...

Welcome to someone who is actually within riding distance. We'll have to meet up when I'm down at Burlingame this summer and go for a ride.

Well of course you guys have any trouble. Didn't you know the raven FZ6Rs have a few drops of tiger blood added to the paint, that is then sprayed on by Adonis himself? That's why the bike is the number one choice of vatican assasins everywhere. Actually you both keep your bike clean, and...

They rubberize the pads over the magnets to help improve grip. But if you tank isn't meticulously clean (along with said pads) or if you ride through say a cloud of dust, dirt will get trapped under them, and the vibrations from the road and motor will start etching scratches into your tank...

"There was nothing wrong with my name, until I was about 12 years old and that no talent ass clown became famous and started winning Grammys! " :thumbup: Love that movie

I replaced out the back armor on my pheonix with knox. It's nice stuff, but defeats the venting that the original back protector had in it. That, along with the Dynax mesh (according to rev'it it "is the most abrasion resistant mesh on the market in any mesh motorcycle jacket today") makes the...
