96 lbs of torque at 2K RPM, nice. Sit back and relax as I seperate the back tire from the rim in all it's smokey glory. Love the looks and design of this new Beemer. Those pipes are just crazy.

There are some good reviews on another motorcycle website, try a Google search for the Scottoiler.
While I myself have never used one of these devices they seem somewhat complicated and IMO probably unnecessary. Oil is important but so is keeping it clean and these things don't clean your chain at ...

Texas you are either very brave or slightly touched in the head :D . To be riding at 71 is amazing to me by itself but to get back on the bike after something like that, you're a lot tougher than I am. I think that would be the end of my riding days. I'd say you got your money's worth out of that ...

There are plenty of other insurance companies that would love to take your money...
I don't get why you are letting an insurance company dictate to you wether you continue riding or not.

Cocaine and/or cash to bribe the guards at the border.

A small 2 liter can of fuel strapped to the seat wouldn't hurt either.

Well if someone really has 15 or 25 years of experience riding then they are doing something right. The only way to be a "good" rider at least in my eyes is through actual road experience AND using proper technique. 20 years of bad habits does not make you a good rider.

There are plenty of Bikers ...

She was crossing over a 4 way intersection on green when another woman decided to shoot across. :evil:
I get so "procreating" angry when I hear the same "crumb" every time. I did not see her.

If she was riding on a green light then the lady shooting across should have been on a red. Why are you ...

Mr. Buell is pushing 60 and probably has a million or two in the bank, not including HD stock options worth X amount of dollars. It's not like he will be left out in the cold. His company may be DOA but he will be fine.

I wouldn't shed too many tears for Eric. That guy is way too talented and driven to let this slow him down for long.

The Roehr bikes are nice but 45K nice, no way. How about an American sportbike for someone like me who doesn't want to mortgage his house to buy one.
