Re: dry socks?

Yes. Second the Merino Wool. They work for me and my feet SWEAT. Avoid cotton, it holds the moisture in.

Sportys are cool. Unless they have chinese wheels (?) ;)

They are still a little spendy though. But cool overall.

Re: 2nd gear slips out

Bad gear probably. If you are an amateur mechanic, I would suggest that you leave the repair to a pro. There are alot of parts, gears/washers/bushings, etc in a transmission, and one piece put in there wrong will hose the whole deal. Kinda sux, cuz I don't think that the bike is worth the price of t...

Re: Are we experiencing a "practical bike" renaissance?

Oh man, no more 500 twins :lol: . Kinda like the way Ford let the Ranger die. WTF are they thinking? "Let's not improve on our product for 20 years, and then say that the market is dead for our 20 year old product, so we'll stop producing it." great. I think I was going to say something pr...

Re: Are we experiencing a "practical bike" renaissance?

Practical and small cc's are covered by a fair amount of scooters in the US market. Granted, they aren't exactly motorcycles. I think that you are also missing the boat on a few great bikes (like the bonneville, sv650, GS500, etc.) Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see the kind of bikes that you menti...

Re: Anyone Riding in Arlington this Weekend ?

Re: Brand new rider with a question

Ditto on above. I was scared 'poop'-less the first time I ever went on an interstate. Just know this. You WON'T blow off the back of the bike :) Once you get comfortable with 55, get on the interstate for just one exit - goose it up to 65 or whatever the speed limit is and then just get off at the n...
