    Riding little bikes

    Just riding dirt bikes gives a street rider a huge advantage over riders who don’t ride dirt. 1. Reaction time - obstacles in the dirt or woods comes at you much quicker than on the street. 2. Controls - Clutch, brakes, throttle, shifting gears and body placement, just to name a few! Probably...

    Riding little bikes

    Whether you can see around the corner or not, controlled entry speeds and apex braking are things everyone that rides a motorcycle should practice! Yeah its sounds like race track talk, but these things could save your life, especially the late apex braking through a turn!

    True Cost of Used FJR

    $6700.00 sure seems to be a good price, 8K is not even broke in yet. If your doing any kind of aggressive twisty riding, the bike will eat through tires! The bag liners I found to be useless, but thats just me. You got more crap than I do, and I'm on my 2nd FJR. When you get around to an...

    Suspension Set-up

    I would like to add one thing about suspension settings.... There are a few guys on this board who have a lot of experience with suspensions...but they didn’t come out of the womb that way it was/is acquired knowledge. If you don’t experiment with your own ride... No you won’t gain any...

    The Willie F. ******* Award Goes To......

    I dont ever want to hear another word about KTM's and falling in rivers Bill! If I can completly submerge a 530 EXC in some Mexican river, and start it up 30 min later....putting on a simple throttle tube should be a walk in the park. :lol: I think maybe you were a bit to close to some of...

    NW Arkansas/SW Missouri Recommendations

    The Hub is just north of Jasper on Hwy 7, further north from there is Harrision, I think it may be a wet county, not sure. The Cliff House Inn (south of Jasper) is my favorite, if you dont mind the coyotes yipping most of night. Ozark AR, would be a bit too far south from the good stuff...
