Motoyard Trackdays Review

Joe Jack posted an article on - Nov 10, 2010, 8:03 pm
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...

Bringing the CX500 Back!

Joe Jack posted an article on - Nov 8, 2010, 3:01 pm
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...

Why Not to Work on Your Bike Late at Night

Joe Jack posted an article on - Jun 4, 2010, 4:20 pm
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...

Dainese Laguna Seca Race Suit

Joe Jack posted an article on - May 26, 2010, 5:22 pm
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 ...

Frustration with Big Feet

Joe Jack posted an article on - May 25, 2010, 3:47 pm
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...

AGATT Redefined

Joe Jack posted an article on - May 24, 2010, 12:47 am
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...

Why it Pays to Read Up

Joe Jack posted an article on - Sep 29, 2009, 7:08 pm
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. See and read about how easily you can loose parts of fingers here var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protoc...

AOTD: Motorcyclists Who are in too Much of a Hurry

Joe Jack posted an article on - Aug 31, 2009, 7:26 pm
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...

Fieldsheer Expander Saddlebag Review

Joe Jack posted an article on - Aug 31, 2009, 6:23 pm
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...

Two Brothers M-5 Exhaust Review

Joe Jack posted an article on - Aug 26, 2009, 12:53 am
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...

The Cold Shoulder From Cortech / Tourmaster

Joe Jack posted an article on - Aug 20, 2009, 5:45 pm
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...

The Almost Perfect Headphones

Joe Jack posted an article on - Jul 31, 2009, 7:41 pm
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...

Colorado Trip Planning

Joe Jack posted an article on - Jul 23, 2009, 6:37 pm
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 ...

Corbin Seat Installled!

Joe Jack posted an article on - Jul 18, 2009, 12:59 am
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...

Video of Crazy Supermoto Riders!

Joe Jack posted an article on - Jul 14, 2009, 4:57 pm
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 ...

Joe Rocket Ballistic Pants Review, Worst Gear Ever

Joe Jack posted an article on - Jul 13, 2009, 6:18 pm
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. ...
