Gonna head up with some old racing buddies to Bandimere tomorrow night. We all used to race Mustangs, but I think there'll only be one Mustang there out of 5-6 of us. Anyway, this will be my first time dragging a bike so it'll be interesting. I'll post up with results. What do you all think I'll...

In the mud at 15mph. I'm okay, and so's the bike. I was coming home yesterday from hanging out with some buddies at the track (NASA road racing) and ran into some rain as I got closer to home. It had been gorgeous at the track, but that was 85 miles away; what I didn't realize was that it had...

Cross posted from Facebook, hence the local details. I was out riding the ol' motorbike yesterday and was on Parker Road about to turn into the Stroh Ranch King Soopers to get some gas. I was keeping the revs up while waiting at the light, because the bike has been dying at lights occasionally...

I thought they held like 4 gallons or so, but this morning I sputtered out of fuel on the highway into town and had to pull over. Derp, switch petcock to reserve, but when I got to town and filled up, it only took about 2.5 gallons. Doing the math put me at 54mpg, which sounds about right from...

Finally got plates on the beast today, thanks to my loving and ever-patient girl, who went to the DMV twice today while I signed a POA, notarized, scanned and emailed over my lunch break. She was able to get tags and so with that and not having ridden since my MSF class last weekend, I hopped on...

This weekend I'll be riding a 250 around in a parking lot and hopefully learning how not to kill myself or fuck up my XS. I'm pretty stoked, actually, because I like learning new things and especially when they pertain to my interests. It's supposed to be hot as shit tomorrow and coolish on...

Can you see what you need to see with the little round bar-end mirrors or are they too small and at the wrong angle? I really don't want the ugly stock-style bug antenna mirrors but I also would like to see behind me. That and a non-flickering headlamp are the only things left to do to get this...

I guess I should start this out by saying that this is my first motorcycle of any kind and I've never ridden so much as a dirtbike in my life. Kinda odd, considering that my dad used to ride Harleys before it was cool, before every office nerd and his grandma rode Harleys. Either way, I got...

I finally got around to looking into the black box ziptied to my downtube today, and found that it seems to be an ignition system. A bit of googling revealed that it's a Martek 1000YT electronic ignition, but not much else. The bike seems to run well enough with it, although due to lots of...
