:rofl :rofl :rofl can't......breathe.... EDIT: Perhaps they were trying a bit of "double-entendre" humor? They could be referring to how the dealers are bending everybody over with the inflated markups.

I just came back from lounging at Borders bookstore and am freaked out. I was glancing through the review of the 08 Ninja 250 in a UK magazine called Fast Bikes. It was the usual review except for the last paragraph where they stated they are excited to hear that a 400cc model is in the...

Unfortunately it looks like they were stuck with a 250 with the terrible IRC tires. Nothing nice to say about them. What I found interesting is their theory (that may very well be true) as to why the new Ninja 250 had around 5 base horsepower cut from the engine: to meet the European new...

Any other Vanson fans out there? I was wondering if I'm the only one noticing that their in house stock is running kind of low lately? When I bought my first jacket 3 years ago they had plenty of stuff my size in stock. I was wanting to order a new jacket since late last year and every time I...

Does anybody carry the arm and leg protection sized in small that straps on? I wanted to buy both, especially the arm protection. I frequently run into jackets where the sleeves fit me too long/loose which makes the elbow protection less efficient. I noticed the have insert packages for...

Just got back from drooling over all the sexy Italian eye candy at the local Ducati/MV Augusta/Bimota dealer. My heart always skips a beat over the Brutale which is my dream bike and today was no exception but then the new little 696 Monster caught my eye. I love the looks (almost...

I'm stoked I finally was able to score a jacket that fits me well for a steal from New Enough. The leather Joe Rocket Roxie jacket they have for a great price was too long in the sleeves for me. But this textile Jordan jacket fits and looks supa fly. Just $72 New Enough link So there you...

After hearing about the news of yet another cop dead escorting someone n a police motorcade (this time it was Hillary Clinton), I can't help but think that motorcycle wrecks happen a bit too much in them. It makes you think there may be something about how they are being executed that puts...

Hopefully we'll see some more reviews coming in now. This one makes the new version sound pretty nifty indeed. http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/Article_Page.aspx?ArticleID=5920&Page=1 EDIT: Fixed link to start at page 1 instead of 2. :P

CROCS HATE DOCS TOO!! RNPS PICTURES OF THE YEAR - A crocodile at a zoo in the southern Taiwan city of Kaohsiung holds the forearm of a zoo veterinarian in between its teeth, April 11, 2007. The crocodile bit off the arm of the zoo veterinarian treating it, an official reported. REUTERS/Frank...

I have had my Suomy helmet since when I started riding a little over 2 and a half years ago. While it may be very light and well ventilated there is no way in hell I will buy another one. Why? :madBecause the visor system is the biggest piece of dog turd in the world!! :mad Who the hell...

Saw this report that fractures on ER6 frames in Europe. Being that it's basically the same bike as the Ninja 650R in the states minus the fairings, I'm concerned and wondering if anybody has heard anything about the US bikes...

I was looking at the specs for Cortech and Tourmaster textile and leather jackets lately and have to say they look really good on paper: *Some of the textile was 1680 denier in impact spots. They also have leather/textile hybrids. *As far as sizing, they have A LOT of different sizes...

Hey guys. It's that time of year when we get freak weather for a week or so where it can get in the high 40's mid 50's during the night. Needless to say it freaks us out here in Miami where we live with meshed up textile gear to keep from passing out from the heat most of the year. I currently...

I've been wondering how many people manage to keep from making their colds worse from riding there bike while commuting to work. I have had a period of nonstop sniffles since I've been commuting on my bike and it's getting frustrating since I don't have car right now. I always wear something...
