Re: 2012 Harley-Davidson XR1200X review

No changes for 2012 from the underwhelming 2011 model i took for a quick spin last year. Definitely not a Buell in any way. Feels like an 1980's motorcycle with an updated 1990's chassis and many Sportster traits like, VERY lonnngggg wheelbase, SLOWWW um "stable" steering, very loww seat w...

Re: 2011 Ride to the Mountains~~~Crash~~~

Well, at least you chose some nice roads to crash on. Ive always enjoyed the roads around Nelson, just as much as the west coast along the pacific ocean, through Oregon and Cali. Didnt watch the video, but judging by your comments, you understand your responsibility in the crash, which a lot of peop...

Re: Bautista battles to an exciting sixth at his home Grand

Suzuki built a new chassis which he has been running for quite awhile, and after recovering from his injuries, is getting the most of it. Big difference from old chassis... Bautista liked it straight away when he rode it. It was a decent enough race to watch, for some action for the podium and for t...

Polaris snowmobile engine as the motor for his Formula Ext...
