riding

So with winter is about done it time to think of riding again:eusa_dance: For safety check your bikes before you ride. 1. Tires are they weather checked? Pressure good? Tread good enough if you get caught in the rain? 2. Fluids ..brake fluid ..flush the old put in new ..bleed the system quick...

I had just finished strecthing her legs a bit around 75 -80, cruising the rural highway on the way home from a 40 mile test run. While downshifting and braking to turn onto the road to my house, I felt heat on my right calf. Kinda freaked when I looked down and saw flames! I stopped quickly...

I rode into work yesterday and before I got ready to leave my house at 7am, I noted that the outside temp was 17°F. I have used my North Face goose down parka, along with my Widder heated vest with temps in the low to mid 20s but my legs get too cold. So I decided to wear my Columbia one...

I've had to ride my bike to work a couple of days because my stepdaughter wrecked my wife's SUV and she has been using my car. Long story short, the past few days have been cold and I did see 28°F passing the bank clock. I've been using my Columbia one piece ski-suit. I'd like to modify the...

Here in Georgia our winters are pretty mild compared to where many of the other members of this forum ride and since I'm planning to not winterize my max I'm wondering what precautions I should take to ensure that mr. max remains happy. I keep it in the garage, have changed all the fluids, add...

:rofl_200: Funny what search engines can turn up!! Well, if the young lady comes with the ride I could live with it :drool:

Hello guys i am after some new gear textile only i don't like leathers. Must be water proof what do you recommend ?

This is just some thing that's been bugging me and felt like discussing it. (this may ramble a bit lol) First off, it seems like a fair amount of bike accidents and deaths are happening around mid Michigan lately. When the stories instantly hit social media (like FB) the comments all seem to be...

Even fellow motorcyclists think Phil Steiner’s long trips on his Honda Goldwing are extreme. You’re bound to think that of someone who’s logged more than 1 million miles in 52 years. “A lot of guys say, ‘You’re nuts,’” Steiner said. “I don’t know about that. They’ll say, ‘You don’t see...

Perfect weather. Perfect temps. Perfect roads. And the best of all: Perfect riding partner. We base camped out of the KOA in Eureka Springs like we've done many times before. We explored slightly different routes both Fri and Sat this year though. Friday we went all the way down AR 23...

OK here are some pics from the 5/17/14 event in St. Augustine FL. One of the pics is Don Bradley, the artist for the event poster, (he owns a beautiful Vincent) and Dave Despain, who you probably recognize from many years as a motorsports announcer on various broadcasts for many years. He's got...

Just as the title says. I was riding in town, and the old vmax coasted to a stop. Checked the fuses and they are good. All other electrical works, lights, starter, signals, ect. Will look at it closer tomorrow, but it seems like sudden loss of spark while running isnt very common. Ever...

Getting all ready for a 150-200 mile ride tomorrow south of here through the Shenandoah Valley with a bunch of my buds. Only problem is the majority of them ride Street Glides and Seth (my friend im taking to Thunder) on his YZF-600. Outta be interesting to say the least. I thought it was funny...

Twice... the first time I wasn't sure actually I saw what I thought I saw... then a few hours later, I came across him again and yep....

My dads 88 vmax's engine stops while riding. He has to switch key off wait for 5min and it starts again until it happend again. First it happend after a warm engine, so i changed the 4 bobines (all cracked) the wires and spark plugs. Also the battery was changed. I took it for a test drive of...

The new Harley liquid cooled 750-500 series is at number 6. :confused2: http://editorial.autos.msn.com/best-new-motorcycles-of-the-2014-riding-season

I am real close to working out a deal on a new vmax and my wife wants to know how comfortable(or not) it is when she is riding on the back? Leg position, tiring etc... thanks for any help you can give me.

And I ran into this guy! My dad and I met up with Traumahawk earlier today and spent the afternoon riding around one of the local state parks and wildlife refuges. We had a pretty good time and I definitely enjoyed riding with another Max. Eric has a pretty mean bike!

on my favorite piece of road giving it beans in third over the poor road surface ,the wheel breaking traction spinning then gripping always makes me feel like this clip,i even sometimes give out a whoop etc .http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wcW_Ygs6hm0

Hi Everybody!! I plan on riding down to Kansas to have Sean do a whole lot on my bike: KarmaMaxx. I'm riding from Toronto, Canada and it should take many hours for me to arrive. Traumahawk suggested that those interested meet up. Not sure exactly when except I'm thinking March or April...
