I'm going to be up in the twin cities the later part of this week. Can some of the Minnesota riders recommend a couple good bike shops to check out? I'm not after anything specific, just want to do some window shopping for bikes and gear in my spare time.

Thanks!

Because, all you have to do is make eash piston 120 degrees around the crankshaft. So, when one is all the way up, and two half way (if I'm picturing this right).

You've got it pictured right.

I own a 955i and have ridden a 675, both have quite a smooth ride and a very unique sound.

91 today in Iowa. I love it!

The truth is I am short so the buell feels better but the triple has alot more power which I really do not need and .The xb12ss was a leftover and $700 cheaperthan the guy at triumph would go so the chioce was pretty simple in hind sight it did however take me only 9 months to make. I appear to hav...

Congrats on the new bike! When I bought my Daytona, I had to wait 3 days to pick her up because of the weather. It was pure torture; but well worth the wait.

Just curious, why'd you go with the Buell over the Triumph?

In no particular order...

- Mountain bike
- Golf
- Lacrosse (coach and play)
- Ski (tele and alpine)
- Work (I love my job)
- Basketball
- Hunt
- Tinker (I'm a bit of a wrench head...when I have time)

I'm 24 and I pay ~$600/yr for my 955 Daytona, full coverage...but I have a multi-policy discount and perfect driving record.

The bikes goes away in mid-October...and a few weeks later the skis come out

I usually get the bike back out in late March or early April. The weather is fickle in the midwest.

25; I'm a Business Analyst and Project Manager...I can wheelie and I do occasionally...but it's only when I accelerate too fast. I like my bones, skin, and bike too much for stunts

Northwest Iowa..Where you located Cylax?

I live in Ames and work out of Clear Lake

I've got 2 full face helmets: An HJC CL-SP I bought a while back...and my new Arai RX-7 Corsair I picked up a few weeks ago at 60% off :D So now the GF gets to wear the HJC. Now if you want to know the total helmet count...let's see: 4 Lacrosse helmets 2 Ski helmets 2 MTB helmets I think that covers...

Not sure if these qualify as 'artsy'...but I really like 'em

It wasn't that I was like disgruntled or anything, more that it was hilarious the way the price wasn't justified (for me at least) so this video fits my feelings. I couldn't be happier with my HJC, but to each his own. Definately agree with the "to each his own comment." I have and HJC and an Arai....

That video was great. I actually have an Arai helmet...but only because I picked it up at 50% off.

Having ridden with several brands, I do feel Arai is a superior brand, but so are Shoei, AGV, and Suomy. So I guess it's all personal preference and how much you're willing to spend.

955 Triple

Get a good skiing/snowboarding backpack.

I use a Dakine Vertex pack as a brief case for commuting to and from work. It's kept my laptop dry is some decent rain storms. I use the same pack for 2 day backcountry trips in the winter...

Iowa! Don't forget Iowa!
