    The Riding Game!

    I may have a better one - that's only 3 roads ;) I can definitely do 5 on my way home today. (Cleveland has some screwed up street patterns) https://www.google.com/maps/@41.4794246,-81.5364759,233m/data=!3m1!1e3

    U.S. Motorcycle Fatalities Projected Down for 2013

    She's started her trial adoption last night - owner has a cat, but she seems to be doing really well. I think my next foster is probably going to be Blitz - the 70 pound, HW positive gentle giant.

    Now I just need to unleash her on a non-white motorcyclist!

    U.S. Motorcycle Fatalities Projected Down for 2013

    I've always found it's easier to make projections about the past.

    Am I crazy for wanting to buy a "real" sportsbike?

    Re: :( I would have used "like wiping with your other hand" - you can do it, it's just awkward and uncomfortable. but your analogy made me laugh.

    Okay - time to move down under.

    Throttle seems Different Today: Help

    Sorry for the delay in my response - I know that feeling. When I went naked, my cables were re-routed behind the headlight and didn't have enough space to have smooth bends, the sharp bends (really not that sharp) were enough to slow the response of the throttle return. I see that your bike is...

    Im Back!!!

    Don't listen to her! You're not going anywhere. Welcome back though - the forum has felt less hoonish over the last year. That's not necessarily a good thing.

    how to carry petrol on the bike for longer trips

    haha - just remember which one you put the fuel in and which one has water.

    Engine temp and fan...

    Mine is the same way, I flushed it 3 times because I thought that I had done something wrong the first time when it didn't get better after clearing out some brown coolant. Coolant is still bright green, no air in the system (that I could find) and running hot. Oh well..

    how to carry petrol on the bike for longer trips

    OP is from Australia - it's more of a necessity than a choice for him. Those Rotopax look pretty sweet, watch out if you mount them vertically though, appears that the mounting hardware wasn't built for that and you'll need to beef it up a bit.

    New rider feeling experimental

    Just watch rnickymouse's channel from the snake/Mulholland dr. for a while - you'll see a lot of what not to do. Centerlines are bad. as was said before, wet ones are worse. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eD3CtUgGXEw

    Power commander v maps?

    I'm about 600' above msl.

    Power commander v maps?

    Yeah - this map is AWESOME. I had a pretty good one with one of the shipped powercommander ones, but man - this works great for a de-catted, basically open exhaust system. Screams like a rap3d ape! Evens out the power, I'm not lugging around 5-8k anymore, and when I get on it around 7-8k...

    Tyre wear

    Just reminded me of a Mitch Hedberg type joke: "I used to do drugs, I still do, but I used to, too" "I have a problem with it wearing on one side, it wears on both sides, but it wears on one side, too"

    Ticking - Cam Chain Issue?

    That thing sounds like a chainsaw. Yikes.

    Tyre wear

    There's also a load of other possibilities here. Rider feels more comfortable turning left (or right), leans more or takes the turn faster maybe? The route he takes has more turns in one direction than the other? Highways (and most roads) are raked from center to the curb, so you'll...

    Do you follow other riders?

    I hate to say it, but if you've taken the BRC, you're ahead of a lot of the riders on the road.

    Do you follow other riders?

    Relish it - use it as an excuse to show off your sweet skills and sick ride. They're all jealous of you, the cruisers because your bike is faster/better in the curves, the rocketier guys because their wrists are sore and wish they could be on something more comfortable. Though it's a good...

    Do you follow other riders?

    If I see a bike up ahead I'll go catch them. If it's a sportbike I'll probably toy with them a bit, if it's a cruiser I'll probably just keep going. On the twisties I'll usually just follow them, critique their riding in my head and then follow them home. (mostly kidding, except for below)...
