    Frustration with riders refusing to accept proper technique

    I only counter-steer to initiate a lean. Once the wheels are free from the forward gyroscopic force, I use the throttle to steer the bike. I can ride through pretty much most corners with zero bar input, once leaned over. After that, I only need one hand... my throttle hand. MSF is good, but...

    To the citizens of the United States of America

    Pretty good stuff. In my earlier years I'd hop the ferry and give you a proper beat down, but that's just sooooo 1776... dontcha' think?

    Would you give up riding and your relationship for your job?

    I wouldn't give up riding for some lousy job. I'd rather be broke with a bike, then have a heavy wallet and no bike. Get your priorities straight. You gonna' be The Man's bitch your whole life?

    Your Hayabusa Thoughts?

    Really? I view it as more of a 'sport-tourer' than a sport bike. They're pretty comfy.. at least compared to my 748. LoL..

    Have you ever had an off???

    High sided my 1997 TL1000s. That really sucked and made for a long ride home.

    Your Hayabusa Thoughts?

    Lots of Busas in the States. Most of the riders are ****, with one exception that I've found. An older guy (55) in our riding group has one. He's put more than 30,000 miles on it and can absolutely rail corners with it. However, he can't outrun me on my FZ6. Moral of the story: Power is...

    Which is the best Sport - Touring Tyre right now?

    The Road2. They have the 2CT compound. I think that's where the confusion lies.

    Which is the best Sport - Touring Tyre right now?

    I don't believe the Roads are tagged "2CT". I think they're just "Pilot Road 2". I could be wrong.

    Words can't really describe....

    Graphic Design 101: "If you can't make it good, make it big and red." Oh... you're talking about the actual club, not just the terrible artwork? I find the former less offensive than the latter.

    Which is the best Sport - Touring Tyre right now?

    Ok... I put about 1300 miles (yankee measure) on the FZ this past weekend. I rode some freeway, mostly two-laners, and almost a full day in the wet stuff. These are nice tires for the money. I only had a few slips at Deals Gap, but that was in the rain when I crossed over some wet leaves, here...

    Horn-y

    That's one of my favorite words. :D I agree with the horn part. The gun part... not so much. :D I use my horn on occasion, but mostly when I pass someone and give it a little "beep-beep" to say "thanks!!" I don't commute too much on the bike so I don't find myself needing to hit it very...
