    Bleeding the brakes

    I'm sure many of you will get around to doing this sooner or later. The brake fluid should be replaced every 2 years, or when it gets maple syrup color. "Clean" or new brake fluid is usually your veggie oil color. There are a couple of options to bleeding the brakes. The first one is using...

    First Trackday, Gear or Protection?

    Powder Coating is the way to go.

    So I never heard of this method of painting until a couple of months ago. Apparently people powder coat their rims a different color, frame, handlebars etc. Anything you can think of. The process has to do with stripping the paint, then sandblasting it, putting the "powder" on it and throwing...

    Hit and Run Caught on Go Pro

    He's a R6 forum member FlyingPig. YouTube - Car Ran Over My Foot - February 05, 2011 Should take a look at the video description, he links his boots and how they're scuffed. An important reminder to wear motorcycle boots, otherwise they would have broke it.
