    Ever get scared teaching someone to ride?

    Ok, having ridden and talked to a lot of ladies... 1. some wimmins (myself included) have a hard time looking far enough ahead. They simply have NOT learned to look far down the road, thinking they have to see what's right in front of them. That's one thing your friend is doing without knowing...

    The problem with motorcycling

    Sorry to hear about another accident, I hope they both heal quickly. But..... if you want a life with no risk, just wait, our gbmt is taking us there, and we're happily going along being "safe". However... If you want to LIVE...you will take risks. Why do people climb mountains.... or jump...

    Why Cell Phones And Cars Don't Mix

    Heeheee.... that does proved people can not multitask effectively. Next time you're on the phone, pay attention to where you're attention is.... pbly about 6-10 FEET in front of you. On the phone, people concentrate on the phone, NOT what else they're doing. Driving (or riding) by itself is...

    Any good divorce lawyer out there

    I'm glad things are working out well for you. What someone posted about infidelity is correct, if she can't faithfully live with a guy, she can't live with a women, either... at least not until she grows up. But do not under any circumstances take her back. Apathy is the best thing. Might...

    Dropped this top-heavy PITA today

    Uhhh..nothing. I had my FJR lowered so much I had to have the sidestand rebent so it would lean to the left and not stand straight up. Only problem I had in the short time I owned it was the sidestand sinking into the nice fresh blacktop in a motel parking lot in Utah in July. But only up to...

    Had to lay her down....

    I'm wondering ...when riding a bike the rider is out in the open, if they do something stupid, they most likely will get called on it. Someone drives a car, they're "protected" by the car.... and the way we teach people how to drive....(not very well) Ever notice the worst drivers are the ones...

    Trip to Sturgis

    If you think the wind blows around the FJR, try a 250 Ninja with a 98 lb lady on it.... she ended up going a bit too slow, thru the mountains and the wind blew the bike and her over... maybe that we were riding at the end of a hurricane on the Big Island of Hawaii had something to do with it...
