    2012 Yamaha YZF-R1

    Wow. That's a race bike with headlights. Freakin' hot. Just cruise in second gear a lot, you'll be fine.

    Riding Tips from a Class-A CHP Moto Officer

    Key part right there. I'm not a great low-speed rider, but I've given it some practice and as a result am better than I was. Getting better still. Keep practicing!

    Spring forward, fall back

    Assuming Johnny's initial position P1 is his home, initial time t1 is 1 AM (0100 military time), final position P2 is 100 miles away and final time t2 is 1 AM (0100 military time). The following would be the case: Delta P = P2-P1 = 100 miles - 0 miles = 100 miles Delta t = t2-t1 = 0100 hours...

    Facebook stupidity.....

    I'll agree to tip #2, but only if tip #1 is "Admit NOTHING!" Dumber than doing it, dumber than posting it on FB - fessin' up when there might not be enough hard evidence to convict. But then, I don't have all the details, so maybe the popo had more than the article says.

    Weekly Harley Rant

    I hate to dash a good Harley rant thread, but the last few HD noisemakers that were driving too slowly in front of me moved out of the way when I came up. Happened on three separate occasions recently. It's rare, but it can happen. Now back to our regularly scheduled HD-bashing.

    What would you do?

    Every new rider has to buy a bike some time, don't they? Otherwise, how will they be reasonably expected to become an experienced rider? I would think that an 87 VFR (500cc, yes?) would be a pretty good bike to learn on. I mean, it's not like you were selling a 'busa to a first-timer. That...

    Heilbars and a fork brace?

    Not sure about the Heli bars. My fork brace seemed (and maybe it was only perception) to add some small, noticable amount of rigidity to the forks in the twisties. Not sure if it helped with cupping, though, because I put that brace on soon after getting the bike. So, in summary, I think the...
