    So you thought your FJR was fast?

    Holy Sh*t Batman! That was awesome! Damn, I need a cigarette...(wait a minute, I don't even smoke!). Okay, where's the wife?! I especially like the part where the driver mentions that at 253 MPH the fuel lasts 12 mins.! I had seen pics/specs of that car before..but to see it actually spool up to...

    77 Motorcyclists Will Die This Week in the U.S.

    Many good points here...nothing that hasn't been said before... Learn the skills involved in riding and maintain them; learn the machine, stay alert, take advantage of available safety gear and use common sense to avoid problems. Well, I guess that's it then... If it were only that easy...

    You have to read this

    My favorite part of the article.... "Ramm said he is unsure why the rodents benefit from having a longer *****." And this guy went to college?!

    Who is your riding partner?

    My wife has been riding for a little over 2 yrs now..to my surprise, it was her idea. She started out as a pillion, discovered how much fun it was, and took it from there; she did the MSF class, started out on short hops, etc. She doesn't ride with me all the time, but more often than not, and...

    2 Week Touring Trip- 2 up

    Harley "tries" to outrun cops

    Well, I think just about all perspectives have been explored here... ;) The answer is.... that's just it- there is no easy answer (DUH) In the Houston area, several years ago, they had no-limits chase policies..(read: there was no 'chase policy') Innocent people got killed, bad guys got...

    Sat on the Concours14 tonight

    Okay...where you did you find one to sit on? I was disappointed at the CycleWorld show (that just left Houston) as the only Concours14 they had was 'display only' :( I saw some shots of them recently, where they were available for a real inspection... California? Nice write-up, BTW..

    No riding before buying?

    Dealers in this area, I have found, will let you test ride their used bikes..only exception I have come across is a local Guzzi dealer; he'll let you test drive a new bike, assuming you have the usual endorsements...(motorcycle license/insurance/etc).

    why cops have guns in the USA

    Wow...that was *almost* comical...only in Europe-- The motor officer could have been killed, luckily wasn't. I don't get it...I've broken car windows with a Streamlight...what were they beating the car with? 'Kinder & gentler' batons? Down here in Houston, Tejas that bad guy would have been on...

    Greetings from the CycleWorld show, Houston 11/11/06

    Just a little preview for anyone going: Chaps, anyone? The sign said $49.00 for the pair...I'd call that a bargain! ...but I don't know how much the chaps were... Some pricey paint jobs: Check out this ZX14: You think Warchild would go for it? Fine Italian fare: I'm not into...

    Bad Press on Sportbikes

    I watched both parts...I must say I was surprised at their objective viewpoints...gotta give them credit for that...stressing that the problem is being caused by a small percentage of riders/they saw many other riders obeying the law/etc. etc. Can't deny the video footage, either.

    2007 FJR 1300A on order!

    In Texas, if you wreck your bike driving out of the dealership's parking lot, they help you.... -into the service dept. No license check, no insurance check, as long as you have *their check* made out for the bottom line of the invoice! As a result, we have our usual share of 18 - 21 year olds...
