Topic: How do I deal with gravel?

By my estimation, the main idea on any dubious surface is to change nothing, or if impossible, change things as steadily and calmly as possible. If the bike is leaned over or heavily braked when it hits gravel unexpectedly, you're pretty much at the whim of whatever configuration you the bike ...

Xin chào

160cm is like 5'3" or so...with the 250R, IF you can learn to handle the bike without both feet, you will be good. Sportbikes in general have ergonomics that favor shorter people.

I will cruise in the left lane only if I am speeding.
Otherwise I tread right, and change to the middle when cars are merging.
Of course highway designs differ and drivers are crazy, so keep an eye on 8 6 and 4 o'clock, and change plans accordingly. Never pass on the right.

well I didn't intend to post again, but I had to clarify this.


His original post used a racial slur. You seem to confuse common decency with "PC"

I honestly didn't realize that the K word was considered a slur...I had it my mind about like 'abbo' not totally inoffensive, but not unacceptable ...

Hey, dipshit. Take your racist attitude and avatar and go play somewhere else.

Ya know, it's actually kindof hypocritical if you are so much endorsing diversity yet you will not tolerate or discuss diverse opinions and worldviews.
Blatant cursing,namecalling and verbal abuse is OK, as long as ...

As best I can tell, the Kawasaki offers the most bang/buck of the 250s. The main point of fortitude is how it will sing along at 80 all day, if you're not afraid of REVs that is. It also is a good trainer for it's more manly cousins, like a Ruger 22-45 is for a 1911.--meaning, it gets you into the ...

Well I certainly didn't mean to disrupt this thread, nor do I now, but I don't consider what I said to be 'racist'....

As to the racist comments that I did not see, we have been the Rainbow nation since 1994 and biking in SA does not discriminate between colour.


Does the ongoing 'farm murder ...

Yeah, when they say the 650R is mild, they are coming from the perspective of Gonzo sport-bikes. It is mild by those rights, but still has I think 80-90 HP.
Not an un-serious bike by any stake...Talent and brain are inverse proportional to your danger level on this machine, and even with an ...
