    Akuma R2 Frost Review

    Some here might find interest in this. I recently decided to purchase a new lid. In my search and reading many reviews on WebBike World I found the Akuma brand to have high reviews. The down side was Akuma does not have a flip up model yet. While searching their website I learned they are...

    I guess am not an intelligent rider

    My ride home, for the most part, has large grass areas between my lane and oncoming traffic. In fact, there is so much room you can roll a semi over into the center section and not impact the traffic going the other way. Video On the far left you can make out the oncoming traffic. I tend to...

    Looking for styrofoam blocks

    I have been considering the same thing. My foam idea was to create a wooden or plastic box, line it with plastic, and spray some of the release agent on the plastic. Then fill it up with this stuff, link. I like this foam as it is easy to hit with a metal file to make small changes in profile.
