Considering she was used, I only had one choice. Yellow. All fairings are in bad shape - can tell she's been down a few times (probably a few more times yet to come, I'm sure). When I get the hang of this better and feel like investing the time and money, I'm going to replace the upper fairings (I l...

Got the bike...
It's been a long time since I've been on the forum here. I finally got my bike on Wednesday. I'd been searching craigslist for months, mostly just looking for the sake of looking. I'm a cheapy and would rather not spend a whole lot on a first bike, since I know it won't be my last, and I know I'm go...

Gah, what is this guy's problem? I don't know what sort of experiences you've had with police officers, but you're definitely generalizing, and pretty harshly, at that. I did have one awful experience with being pulled over once for speeding. I was leaving a parking lot and had just turned on to the...

As for personal defense. Keep it simple: The side of your palm, delivered with FORCE to the adam's apple of an attacker, will render them unable to breath. The larynx can be crushed like an empty soda bottle. No matter if they're psycho or drugged out or bigger and stronger than you, they will go d...

Having just started out riding, I can't really offer any suggestions. But I notice that a lot of people here are encouraging you to take self-defense classes, even if only for the confidence factor.

Well, I did it. Almost didn't finish, but I did, and ended up with a score to brag about (sorry, but I have to, especially after the stressful weekend I've had...). Yesterday was rough. Was on a Virago 250. The thing kept stalling. And, of course (rightfully so), the instructor kept telling me to ea...
