riding

I'm going to ride to Newfoundland, see Gros Morne,... has anyone here done that? any advice?

Ok I must be crazy(lol) but I am planning a trip starting out on Tues heading from here in Kansas to Ouray Co for a little family gathering. It is 482 miles one way. I sure wish I would have purchased one of Morley's seats already but oh well. I am planning to pack a tent,sleeping bag,and...

I got a pair of these the other day...they make decent riding pants. Lots of pockets, a little elastic in the waist to keep from choking your gut...pretty comfortable IMO. http://www.bdu.com/F522082001.html

Anyone out there ever rode with dirt bike boots for the street, given maximum, shin, ankle protection. Just tell me if its a stupid idea.I respect everyones input. Yes I did try it,:ummm: and shifting is not to bad.

...courses? What did you think? Link

I just bought my first bike, a 97 Vmax. I need to get some riding gear. So far I have just been borrowing my dad's but it is a bit too small and I want my own. I can't decide on what to go with. I would like to have somthing that will work in both cool and hot weather if that is possible. I...

Haven't ridden the bike in a couple of weeks limped the bike to a friend s house cause the oil and fuel light went on at the same time[starter was engaging]turned off bike with kill switch,turned kill switch back on to have the bike turning over by itself,the gray start switch was all the way...

This just started to happen. After I wash my bike it runs like crap and sometimes won't even start until things dry out. I don't over spray it, just a gentle rinse and I try to keep the water spray to a minimum. The last time I road in some pretty heavy rain it started to die too. Won't...

Last night I got home from a 3 1/2 hour ride home in the pissing rain. It was to say the least a ******* nerve shocking experience for sure. I don't trust this bike at all in the rain. It hydro planes like a water skier...With no wind shield and at night with a shorty helmet and a stock...

Hi Everyone Looks like I am riding the Vmax down to Oklahoma this weekend. I have a sister in Elk City Ok that has a cool store called The Tool Box. It is one of thoses stores you go into and don't ever want to leave. Of coarse she has every kind of tool made but also she has all kinds of biker...

After all these motors that have ate cranks I am going to change some of my ways. One is by letting the oil temp warm up to atleast 150 before riding, and last setting the shift light at 9K rather than 10.5 Question is. How many of you let your bike warm up before shifting it into gear? How many...

Well, working on my bike, having a good time, thinking about the spring in a couple of months. Then Mother nature woke up the Alaska February cold snap. -54 deg outside my back porch. After checking the hot tub to make sure it didn't freeze I went inside to pray to the weather gods for an...

wiil i have to do any carb tuning for colorado touring......

Greetings all, I'm hoping someone out there may have some ideas for me. When I get up to the 100+ speeds my bike gets pretty unstable in the front end, to the point I have to back off. At normal speeds it tends to want to steer to the left, and will do so if I release the grip on the handlebars...

Hi All Are there any favored handlebars for city riding ?? I have (I think) the custom handlebars and they are not the most comfortable for regular city riding in stop and go traffic. Anyone have any pics I can see and/or sites I can buy recommended ones from. I generally like my...

So here's a theory on "warming up" an engine: I think we can all agree that the vast majority of any engine's wear occurs at startup. Why? Because, at startup, engines operate momentarily with low or no oil pressure. In reality, once engines are running, the metal surfaces do not contact one...

I know the weather is not letting us enjoy the max, but when the warm weather hits, does anybody know of any good roads? I went to www.motorcycleroads.us and there are some nice routes, but not enough. Any suggestions? Please pm me if you do. Thanks all

So I was driving to work this morning when some **** in a pickup pulls out in front of me.......
