    zx-14

    The ZX-14 has a lot of potential. Hyperbike in Frederick MD holds (or held) the fastest ZX non-turbo (nitrous) and fastest turbo: Hyperbike Turbo ZX-14 Busa is still King, but Greg and friends at Hyperbike are turning some heads.

    Bar Ends

    Really? They're only 1.5cm each and the mirrors stick out further. I had mine off on the throttle side for a week and I can say that without it vibration was more noticable, but it's nothing compared to the bikes we used to ride.

    Carrying a Roller Board

    It's those small carry on suitcases on wheels that hog up all of the overhead storage space in airplanes. Wolfhound, Thanks for the point to rear rack search, I was trying suitcase, roller board - no imagination.... I found some options!

    Carrying a Roller Board

    I travel frequently and I was wondering if anyone makes a rack that can accomadate a roller board? It is possible to bungie cord it to the passenger seat, any other options or ideas on the subject would be appreciated. Thanks, M

    Frame Sliders

    If the bike drops or goes down I make sure I get my ass underneath it to protect all of the plastic parts.

    Does your 2008 stall giving it gas from Idle

    The only stall i've had in 2.5 months and 2,000 miles was reported by a friend I let ride it. Said it stalled at a stop sign, but when he pulled out of my driveway he was in 4th gear before he was at 30 Mph :o - so.... It was also the last time he will ever ride it.

    The Ultimate Farkle!

    Reading the specs it says the shipping weight is 600lbs and the bench is 500 lbs! It looks heavy duty, but that is heavy duty! Oh, I see where all of the weight comes from the - quote from the specs: "Powder Coated HD Orange Paint". Yeah, that HD orange has got to account for about 450 lbs...

    Cern's Large Hadron Collider powered up

    As long as it sucks up France first, I don't think it will cause much alarm.

    wacked another deer

    Wow, that is incredible. We'd like to think that when lightning strikes we're allotted a given time frame when shit won't happen. I fear the deer... Last week I was out on one of my favorite back roads. I know the road well and I usually push hard. But there is one fairly tight turn that is...

    2008 FJR W/ PC III fixed the stall

    At least you fixed it right and you're happy. Jumping up and down and screaming at the dealer probably wouldn't have accomplished the same results. The Avitar is Flea from the RHCP, mix with the morning coffee and you'll be set.

    2008 FJR W/ PC III fixed the stall

    Obvously it is broken, why wouldn't you take it to the shop and tell them to fix it under warranty??? If my 08 exhibited these problems I wouldn't be spending my money to fix it.

    screwed twice in one day

    If you're not running a tube, any tire shop or local garage can put a plug in it without taking the wheel off the bike. The counter doesn't want to screw with you, but walk up to one of the techs with a $20 and its' done. I picked up a piece of glass on a brand new bike with less than 100...

    Full Face helmets may contribute to fatalities?

    Come on folks, after decades of searching ABATE finally found an obscure study that they can point to and say that helmets kill. Millions of dollars in contributions by HD ass clowns well spent! Fucking ABATE...

    SPANK rally report

    I can't believe I read the whole thing! WOW! I just kept thinking, what makes you guys tick... Attitude! Great read, thanks for sharing. Oh, and uh, I'm not sorry about the break down, I think its' one of the many pieces that makes the adverture great, unique, incredible! Would have been...

    Good write up and pics. I usually wouldn't click on the blog link, but I'm glad I did.

    Seat looks nice, but what is "pro pad"?

    too heavy for a geyser?

    Ian, Your post makes perfect sense. I know what you’re feeling; weight is one of the first specs that I look at on bike. I have a S2R Monster which is stripped to the bone and light as a feather. My S2R has a comfortable riding position. The seat is far more comfortable then my stock FJR...
