    New Honda Cycle Announced

    I saw this on Engadget last night. There's also a short You Tube demo video as well. This is obviously designed for those lazy-*** office workers that can't get up out of their chairs to pull something off the printer or walk to the file cabinet. Pretty soon, everyone is going to look like the...

    NAFO 2010 Where and whens the next NAFO?

    One would think that - if maximum participation by the greater FJR rider populace is the goal, a national gathering would be held in as central a location as possible. Holding a national event in, say, the East, pretty much excludes the vast majority of riders from the West (and vice versa)...

    Phase II has begun

    If you look at the side view just right, it kind of looks like a baboon (frame) humping a watermelon (engine). Maybe there really is something to Yamaha's "forms from nature" design philosophy... ;)

    Rumors of a Honda Supersport apparently false

    I see Honda aiming squarely at BMW's K1300S/GT with these new bikes. From a power perspective, expect somewhere around 170hp (+/-10hp) for the supersport, and 150hp (+/-10hp) for the tourer. I haven't heard any torque numbers yet, but I'll bet they're easily in the low 100slb/ft range. As an...

    Rumors of a Honda Supersport apparently false

    Agreed. And if this bike falls somewhere between, say, the VFR800 and ST1300 in size and weight, they'll have an unmitigated hit on their hands. That could be, but given a VFR1200 "T" is ostensibly an ST1300 replacement, why wouldn't they have gone ahead and updated their website to reflect a...

    Rumors of a Honda Supersport apparently false

    I have it on pretty good authority it'll be officially announced this November, and available for delivery to customers as early as March '10 (can you say, "PDP"?). Obviously, there's no official word on prcie, but the expectation is around $16k. We shall soon see...

    26 Motorcycles Crash on I-5

    My apologies to you kumbaya-fellow-biker types, but I do not consider members of the Brother Speed "fellow bikers" or "fellow motorcyclists". Not in my book. Just because they're riding on 2 wheels does not make them fellow anything. The Brother Speed is an outlaw biker gang comprised of people...

    26 Motorcycles Crash on I-5

    This happened earlier today approximately 10 miles from my house: 26 Motorcycles Crash on I-5 A group ride that went terribly, terribly wrong. It just goes to show that truth really is stranger than fiction. (And yes, I do feel bad about laughing... :rolleyes: )

    SICK of this bike!!

    There once was a member named pgrhodes1, "I'm sick of this bike!", she goes on. Her post stirred up many, the ridicule was plenty, thus the Friday tea-bagging merrily continues. Thank you! I'll be here all weekend. :lol:

    Rumors of a Honda Supersport apparently false

    Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner..!! What I love about this solution from Honda is that it gives the rider choices. You're a clutch guy? Great! Knock yourself out. You like the AE-style trigger shift? Fantastic! It's right there by your left thumb and forefinger! You like cruising on...

    Handgun on a bike

    For a whole host of reasons - not the least of which is the excellent advice offered by exskibum, forget about carrying a handgun on your bike. If you feel you must carry a weapon, consider the non-lethal variety such as a Taser C2. You won't have to worry about concealed carry laws and you...

    **** Billy Lane sentenced

    And there you go! A pic of a (flamingly gay) dude tuckin' his junk wasn't nearly as off-topic as one might have surmised..! So, Billy Lane, this mangina's for you! :lol:

    Rumors of a Honda Supersport apparently false

    What's concerning me deeply is that all of the Honda propoganda I've been receiving about this new bike is coming out of Honda UK, compliments of the FeelV4 website. I'll be "less-than-gruntled" if this launches in Europe first and doesn't find its way to the US until 2011. Not that I...
