I know it is kinda old, but it seems like I can come here every six months and get caught up.

Anyway, I have the stock battery in my 2008 Speed Triple. It's a Yuasa and I put the bike on a batterytender every day. If not, it'll die in short order.

Johnny finally traded in his Marlboro Miles for a new Harley.

After the Rep Janklow case, I lost all faith in justice when a motorcyclist is involved. It still amazes me that his right to practice was reinstated after he hit, run and left for dead a man who served his country.

Those Cobra slip-ons are really cool on a VMax. Let us know if you sell it.

Motorcycles are so supposed to be practical? Let's face it, if practicality was the only important factor in buying a motorcycle, we'd all be driving a Ford Focus.

It's come a long way from the Virago days.
