There is only one bike as far as I know that was designed and built to be as safe and effortless for a beginning biker as possible. Thats the Buell Blast. It has an electric choke so you dont need to worry about that. Hydraulic valves you dont adjust, no chain to oil. It has good ergonomics and a lo...

As far as the bike being worn out...it isnt. Even ridden very hard at all times youd be no more than 1/3 of the way there. However...if you dont intend to keep it until it dies and are worried about things like trade in value then it is about time for a new ride. Since sportbikes get measurably bett...

I can start you in the right direction ColorRite will almost certainly have touch-up paint that is an exact match for your bike's paint and a matching clearcoat. Here is the web address for their motorcycle paints http://www.color-rite.com/CRPLmanYear.php?typeID=2&osCsid=10c1cbe67d3a3fdb9f894467...

I wave at everyone. Which is nice. Well everyone except BMW riders because they are so ...you know..uppity. Oh and Honda riders, I wont wave at them either. Because they are just like BMW riders only without as much money, so they get no waves. Oh I almost forgot the Harley riders. No point waving a...

I agree with the two above me regarding learning to do a wheelie on an expendable dirtbike before attempting this trick on your pride and joy.

I can tell you that the first rule in safe wheelies is to always land the front wheel ahead of the rear wheel.

If you're on the 101 in California be VERY VERY careful while traveling through a town outside Salinas called Prunedale. There are TONS of accidents there, it's very dangerous if you're in a cage, even more so if you're on a bike. Ride safe. Especially on weekends when that big red barn of a flea m...
