    Motus To Display Prototype at Daytona Bike Week

    The more I look at the bike - particularly the hi-res photos released yesterday, the more I think, yeah, it's "OK". And I don't mean that delicious carbon-fiber capped motor and Italian-esque trellis frame. Those are gorgeous. It's the bodywork. It's very mid-'90s in my opinion. I like the split...

    FJR 04 Radiator flush

    It figures.... :glare: I'll just have to make sure I keep on the maintenance schedule; 2 years or 16,000 miles - whichever is sooner.

    FJR 04 Radiator flush

    I did the flush-n-blow on my bike Saturday. Time consuming as hell, but since I had other maintenance to do I killed time by taking care of those little tasks during the cool-down periods. Now - at the risk of being laughed off this board (or condemning this thread to NEPRT), I have an...

    Nude Photographs of Actress Eva Mendes Go Missing!

    I suppose I could loan the photographer a few Mendes pics from my personal stash. ;) Or he can just do a Google image search on "Mendes Training Day". 'Nuff said... :P

    GPSUSPENSION.COM GROUP BUY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Thanks! Having met Dave a couple of years ago at GP's shop when dcarver was getting his suspension done, you're probably right. At the very least, he's likely to give me a decent discount... Fortunately for me, I only live about 15 minutes from GP's shop so - depending on what I decide to have...

    2009 FZ1 Limited Edition

    The bike is not a limited edition per se, what you're seeing is an FZ1 with a Retro Body Kit. In '08 and '09, Yamaha gave the dealers big discounts on this kit to outfit a bike or 2 on their showroom floors to help move bikes as well as generate interest in the accessories catalg. The kit fits...

    Motorcycle Ergonomics Site

    Finally, a website that lets you "try on" a bike: Cycle Ergo Not surprisingly, I look pretty damn uncomfortable on a Duc 1198...

    BMW K1600GT & GTL

    Well, then I suppose this picture isn't going to help any... But hey, as much as I really, really don't want to admit it, I'm kind of right there with you. The only saving grace is that I'm not making any decisions on a new mount until 2012 so the bank account will remain relatively unscathed...

    BMW K1600GT & GTL

    Well, it's official: they're out and man are they plush... Hell for Leather Magazine: BMW K1600GT & K1600GTL Anyone want to take a guess at the prices these will command (or, better yet, that folks will be insane enough to pay...)? BTW: The GT weighs in at a "svelte" 703lbs, and the GTL at...

    05 FJR & 07 Moto Guzzi Norge comparison

    Here's a few pics of the 2011 MG Norge GT 8V (which is essentially a fairly extensive refresh of the platform including the 8V motor found in the Griso and Stelvio): I have to admit that I'm really liking the color. Very, very classy...

    Volcano Ride 2010

    Yeah, I know, I know... It's been a pretty dry year riding-wise. I've only put about 2,500 miles on Winona this year. No multi-day rides, just 200-500 mile day trips when I can squeeze them in (and, obviously, those opportunities have been few and far between). I did however manage to spend...

    2011 Moto Guzzi V7 Racer Announced

    There's an amazing 53 photo gallery of this bike here: Hell for Leather MG V7 Racer Gallery The detailing on this bike is incredible - borderline art work. I'm wondering how it would look in my living room... Hey, Honey..?! :lol:

    Rear Brake problem

    I've been following this thread with interest because I too have experienced NRB (No Rear Brake) syndrome on numerous occasions since my bike was new. I've changed brake fluid 3 times (every spring w/ Yamalube DOT 4) and have bled the system 8 or 9 times (both procedures as per the service...
