    I hope that Helibars Inc doesn't see this :)

    No one can argue that sportbikes typically have ergos that are racier than most need or want. Personally, After years of road cycling the position doesn't bother me that much, but I was looking at ZX-10R.net and came across this rather clever modification that saves quite a bit over buying...

    Was this a hormonal episode? (Going to the OB/GYN with the wife/girfriend)

    SBK SpeedCell

    Speedcells Not that I need a new battery by any stretch of the imagination, but the SBK Speedcells are not Lithium Ion but Lithium Ferrite and so they don't have the nasty habit of exploding into molten flaming napalm when they fail and are overcharged. I've saved about 11 pounds on the...

    Bored, and so here is one for everyone... I was in front of one of those drivers that honks at you about .0125 seconds after the light turns green... I looked back at him in disbelief that ANYONE could be so cranky on a BEAUTIFUL day like this one and of course, he honked again... I rolled...

    Who trains these Solicitor/Salespeople teenagers that ignore "no soliciting" signs?

    This is a general irritation I've had for years now, and I thought living behind a gate would solve the problem, but apparently not! There I was, working in the garage happily, richening my PC III settings at low throttle and medium RPMs to try and get rid of some popping on decel, and here...
