I'm in a 'shill my scooters' mood, so... here is the stable in its current iteration: First, my daily commuter is the blue bike (09 Triumph Sprint ST) on the left: http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u290/shalihe74/DSC_0026.jpg (The bike on the right is my Daytona before it's, um... transformation pi...

In addition to the battery tender (which, as others have said, you hook up like normal. I keep my 06 Daytona trackbike on a tender whenever it isn't actually running.), you may consider putting a fuel stabilizer in the tank. Having lived in WI, I seem to recall that the 'too cold to ride' season sta...

I did CA Superbike School recently and, during a discussion on corner, Keith was talking about advice that folks give others on how to corner better. He dismissed the comment 'trust your bike' as not being terribly helpful. But it sounds like, in your case, that that may be good advice. Assuming tha...

I suspect the increasing number of doohickies to play with (cell phones, Blackberries, iPods...) is contributing to the overall rise of crappy drivers. I get so mad when I'm on the freeway and I'm not even exaggerating 50% of people have some sort of device that they are either using or fiddling wi...

LADIES: Trackday Poll
Hey there, Ladies. I am tentatively riding in a charity event in July, and am thinking about how to solicit donations from businesses in a tight economy. Naturally, a business gets a tax write-off, but I'm working on developing additional value propositions. As I explore some options, I'd like to ge...

I used to use Bel-Ray and was very happy with it; the fact that it was white and goopy irritated the boyfriend (Service manager @ my dealership, who does all the service on my bikes that I can't), though, so I switched to Motul to make him happy. Now that we've broken up (and he still has to do my s...

As it's already been pointed out - some of the less expensive helmets out-performed premium helmets in the Motorcyclist test. My experience has been that, the more you spend on a helmet, the more features you're buying: better venting/air flow, thicker/more comfortable padding, more aerodynamic desi...
