    Two-fer-Tuesday.......Moto cited twice

    This guy must have been in a big hurry to get somewhere? 114MPH the first time......7 miles later he gets cited for 86MPH. At least he slowed down a bit. I'm thinking this guy needs a Liter Bike :teeth https://www.facebook.com/groups/398442200508002/?post_id=1189878871364327

    Best storefront for motorcycle boots

    I've had a bugger of a time trying to buy new moto boots recently.
