    New bike cam!

    I don't trust the suction mounts much...they hold well, but mine too fell off once from the tank, while it was in my garage, but still. One sticky mount and it's never going anywhere!

    KTM - now these guys know how to sell their bikes

    the 690s are some of the most amazing rides. Definitely one of my favorite, "thrash it" bikes

    New bike cam!

    I always safety wire it to me or the bike through a small space in the camera surround personally.

    New bike cam!

    The batteries drain very fast at times, which is my biggest issue with them, but really a few batteries and sd cards will get a track day without a problem. I almost want to hardwire it to the battery sometimes. I'm using mine on my snowboard tomorrow! The waterproof/shockproof casings are great!

    New bike cam!

    the hero's are awesome! I"ve used mine everywhere, day night, snow, snowboarding, bike, swimming etc. It's the sweetest. 8 gig SD = 4 hours of video!

    Sprocket Brands/Durability

    - Front, + Rear = More power at lower speeds, since the engine is operating at a higher rpm per speed. More Accel, less top speed (but since the FZ is only capable of 150mph from the factory, it doesn't need gearing to 170!) I love the -1/+2 change personally. It should be 15/48 from the...

    Revit Kelvin H2O Winter Waterproof Gloves

    I've been rocking their Fahrenheits (replaced by the Kelvins), and they're definitely great gloves. They take a hit well too, mine look fresh from when I went down. Either way they're alittle on the bulky side, but for winter gloves they're top level!

    Do you let anyone borrow your vehicle?

    i voted no, but it's a situational thing. Generally I don't ask to borrow vehicles, and I don't let people borrow mine. More likely I'll let someone borrow a car than a bike, but generally it's easier to avoid situations like that. The people I know can ride, are always welcome to go for a...

    Next bike - Euro supersport

    i work at a triumph/ducati dealership, so lack of dealer support, would be me not doing my job!

    Next bike - Euro supersport

    Ridiculous servicing fees? on the ducs? No way. Very few valves are out of spec with the current testastretta and DS1000/1100 engines. I see them all the time. And working for duc has its perks....but just looking through insurance quotes may seal the deal for the 675 or neither....damn...

    Next bike - Euro supersport

    From the looks of my bike, it's bordering the limit of total loss, with just around 5k miles on it, and a slew of mods. In the event that it is a total drop, I'm going to have an opportunity to pickup a Triumph or a Ducati at seriously reduced prices because of my job. Right now I'm hopping...

    Pazzo VS ASV

    i think the asv look better, are more adustable. They also will get you home when other levers might break! I've crash tested them, and only a small scratch exists on what is mostly a totalled bike

    first fall

    I may end up on an early '09 daytona 675 next....the employee discount for working at the shop is a contributing factor in the decision however, and the 848 is still alittle out of my desire pricerange...I might even go used, but we'll see what gets covered and what doesn't. How do I put my...

    first fall

    I walked from work to the train today, 40 blocks, and the streets that were open had tons of accidents as mentioned, i forgot to say that yes, I did hit the horn, both brakes, and downshift. I actually lifted the back up alittle, and it turns out that my back wheel actually ended up leaving...

    Well, Pazzo fell through... ASV anyone?

    They were definitely NOT sloppyat all....hopefully still not, but i haven't seen the bike since the wreck, ill let you know lol. they were tight, and honestly, the best feeling levers i've used...I work in a shop, so I see tons of CRG and Pazzo...I'ld choose asv every day

    first fall

    yeah, and i was just getting done with the mods. everything was exactly how I wanted it. ****in ****

    first fall

    almost 6k miles on the bike, and i took my first spill I was driving up Bowery in NYC, in the right hand lane by houston. A car in the center lane is moving slowly, but nothing too out of the ordinary. I'm next to him, front wheels about the same place, when he pulls HARD to the right nad...

    Well, Pazzo fell through... ASV anyone?
