I started riding on the track earlier this year. After being on the track my first time, I can't express how much fun it is and how much you will improve on your riding skills. I did my first three track days with Motoyard up at Streets of Willow.
Never having run on the track before I was obviously... Comment - Like

So I have been busy with the new track bike and the SV650 so the CX has been sitting collecting dust. I've decided that I must move on to modern machines but that I am going to bring some sparkle back to her and see if I can trade her for a trailer, generator or something else that catches my eye. S... Comment - Like

I dont know...but I might start writing again. Been spending a lot of time at the track, have a new bike (stay tuned) and have a bunch of new goodies.
What do you think? Comment - Like

I always seem to get motivated to work on my bike late at night. I can't say its always the best idea. There have been nights where I find myself falling asleep next to the bike sometimes because its midnight and I am DETERMINED to get something done. Last night I found myself trying to get my brake... Comment - Like

I've been looking to pick up a full suit but always figured they were well out of my price range...at least the good ones. The Dainese Laguna Seca Race suit retails for $1000 with knee sliders but I was able to pick this up from Cycle Gear's brick and mortar store for 40% off clearance sale as they ... Comment - Like

I've wanted a pair of decent boots since I started riding motorcycles. Apparently most companies who make motorcycle boots don't seem to think there is much of a market for larger sized boots. Typically you can't find anything larger than a 12 - 13 and typically those are on the smaller end of those... Comment - Like

Most motorcyclists have heard the acronym "AGATT" used at one point or another and from what I have seen, even more don't care. For those who don't know...it means All Gear All The Time. This means wearing ALL of your gear...jeans are not gear...tennis shoes or work boots are not gear...a back prote... Comment - Like

Here is a quick and VERY graphic depiction as to why it pays to read up on how to properly maintain your motorcycle before you actually go ahead and do so.
Again...graphic images.

So I am trying to be zen and not get upset with people when I ride but I have another Asshole of the Day post. Its not only cagers who can risk the health of our two wheels riding buddies but we can also endanger our own species as seen the other day. I was commuting to work and, as usual, cutting t...

I bought the Fieldsheer Expander Saddlebags for my SV650 after seeing them in a store side by side with the other popular Cortech Sport Saddlebags. The fit/finish of the Expanders seemed better than the Cortech and the features of the bag seemed better as well. I was taking a 2,400 mile trip from Lo... Comment - Like

In short the Two Brothers M-5 Exhaust for the SV650 sounds orgasmic. I installed the carbon fiber can and the look of it compared to other CF cans is far superior. Park it next to a M4 CF can and you'll notice the difference right away. M4, the seemingly most popular brand for the SV's, makes a very... Comment - Like

Sorry its been a while but I'm finally back in the groove after taking the bike up to CO...2,400 miles round trip. Pictures and write up coming soon. Which brings me to this post. On my way out to CO my hands started to hurt considerably due to the Alpinestar gloves I was wearing. They are great sho... Comment - Like

I've been trying to find some great headphones for riding. Everyone has some suggestions as to what that may be but I've found that my ear canals don't have the typical shape and it makes it difficult for the in-ear headphones to fit properly. Most riders seemed to agree on the upper end that Etymot... Comment - Like

In a couple weeks, I will be on my way to Colorado on the SV. I've been in the process of getting the bike ready for the trip and planning out my route. I had thought about doing some camping but decided that I would opt out of that and try couch surfing instead. If you've never "surfed", there are ... Comment - Like

After 5 LONG weeks of waiting, my Corbin seat finally arrived today. I've planned a trip and will be leaving in a few weeks for Norther Colorado. This seat should hopefully save my rear. A Corbin seat typically doesn't take 5 weeks to manufacture. They are made to order but I had mine custom made. S... Comment - Like

Originally found on Return of the Cafe Racers, these guys are absolutely out of their minds...in a fun to watch sort of way but I would definitely not want to be on the same road. You can see the guy wheelieing around corners, sliding through some corners with his hands and feet out wearing nothing ... Comment - Like

I bought these Joe Rocket pants quite a while ago. I'm almost certain they were the Ballistic model but I could be wrong as they didn't have any model that I could see stitched on the inside. That said...it really shouldn't matter. This is, hands down, the worst piece of gear I have ever purchased.
