    LAN party? CS, UT, MoA?

    Would anyone be interested in having a LAN party? A few of my friends play every once in a while and wonder if any one else would like to play. Mostly Counter Strike, Metal of Honor and any thing that's fun with multiplayer. I have some CAT5 cables, a 8 port switch and two computers. Rob

    Ninja 250 pricing? where to buy

    I was shopping around for a Kawasaki 250 and so far found $3900 OTD from Fremont Cycle Center. Is this a fair price? I stopped by Grand Prix off of El Camino and they wouldn't even give me a quote. Are there any other recommended shops in the Bay Area? Thanks Rob

Well I brought it up to a few friends, both riders and non-riders, most of them say I should not buy 250 but...

    Newbie question: Why do 600's have standard forks?

    I wonder why 600 sport bikes like the GSXR for example use standard forks and the 750+ use inverted? I used to think it was due to the weight difference but it's less than 50lbs. difference. Any ideas? Rob
