Ouch. That bites. I hope the driver is found and karma pays him a huge visit! Glad you okay. The bike can be fixed.

Prayers sent. I wish him the best for a full recovery. There is a guy on PNWRiders that lost part of his right leg after a couple of years of debilitating pain. He is now busy riding a Ducati with an artificial lower leg.

My 07 withstood gust of up to 70 MPH on an exposed parking lot in the Columbia Gorge. It was on the center stand faced slightly into the wind.

Don't bother going in through Portland. Take the ride to Troutdale route. You can take the ride from Troutedale to the Falls. There are several places to hot back on the Lincoln Highway. It's worth the ride. It's not a warm as 14, but it's much nicer for the views. Make sure you stop at...

Working late tonight. :angry:

Think giant egg slicer. :butcher:

Mine's got 52 miles on it now, and purring like a kitten. :D

Gun Ban list announced

You're welcome. :glare:

The maintenance costs would be prohibitive.

I may be slapping a set of the Busa for a trip to Kali in a few weeks. I'm hoping to spare the BT016's from flat spotting on the freeway. I do love the BT016 in the corners, but it may not fair on this trip.

I might have to take you up on that. I will be passing through Portland the last weekend of the month. I will have my Busa with me. I will be staying in the area for a few days. I'd like to hook up and check it out.

Sorry for the poor wording. I was referring to the shoulder of the CT tread, not the actual sidewalls. Thanks for the feedback.

I have a V1 with the concealed display. I keep the V1 in the map pocket of my tank bag. The remote display is on the dash. The power chord is tucked under the edge on the fuel tank when it's not plugged in. The best thing you can do is pay attention to all of your surroundings while you...

Good to know. I tend to spend most of my miles in corners. I would definitely consider a CT if I was doing IBA type riding.

Found that a while ago too. It will be that way if we don't get a better grip on things.

I have taken brand new tire on the track on my Busa. Not a single issue with slipping around. My FJR tires are scrubbed almost all the way to the edge with 36 miles on the ODO. It's not about the tires. It's about being smooth on the throttle and brakes until the tire warms up. I try to be...

Has anyone here researched really old motorcycle tires? Has anyone else noticed that some of the earlier tires on motorcycles were off of cars? They didn't have the high HP sport bike we ride now, but they did work for what it was being used for. The tip-in would be harder by design. The...

Take your bike and the picture to a vehicle licensing office and request that they verify the picture against your bikes plate. Request that since it is obviously a mistake ask them to drop the charges against you. The request a replacement plate with a new number at their cost, since they...

Congrats! It looks like mine, only with a clutch lever. B)
