    Asking $3000. 22,464 smiles. Bought this bike new in the heart of my riding days, and cherished it. After life got busier, I lost the time to treat it right. Really hoping to find a good home for it with someone that'll maintain and ride it like I used to. Bike at Thill...

    Pops is coming down to Los Angeles for a couple of days in March and I was wondering if anyone had any ideas of some fun moto/car related places we could check out. Museums, shops, anything!

    120/70 Pirelli Dragon SC2 Race Tire plus free rear

    Front tire is an SC2 race compound Dragon... GREAT tire for any track or street rider. Has had one track day at Infineon (very little wear), a couple days in the hills and 6 weeks of commuting to Mountain View and back, but still round as can be! As you can see there is still a good deal of...

    ROLL CALL: Keigwins Thill July 27-28

    Surprised there isn't one of these already for a big weekend event :thumbup. Been a while since I have been back up to Willows, been having too much fun in Sonoma! It'll also be my first back to back track day in a LONG time... something I am quite fond of. Will be hanging in B+ Saturday and...

    Dunlop Track Tires (mixed front/rear?)

    Probably going to be ordering a fresh set from Paolo for the THill July weekend I just purchased :ride. I know the Q2 is a very capable tire, and I am somewhat intrigued by the Q3, but I really like the feeling of having a race tire up front to give me that extra confidence on the brakes...

    Best price for Dunlop Q3

    Didn't realize they had released the next generation until just now! Been out of the loop on new rubber. The Q2's used to be found for $200 shipped which was an incredible deal. My SC2/Pro Dragon combo is still holding true but I am going to need another set of rubber before heading back to...

    Poor mans throttle control

    Been home for the summer a month now, and have been commuting daily 50 miles but have been lazy and just did my first "real" ride today. Bike was riding fantastically in the hills at a spirited pace, but then on 84 I got throttle happy and noticed very significant clutch slippage in 5th gear at...

    Ear plug trial packs?

    Any recommendations? This site has a few reasonably priced ones... http://www.earplugstore.com/unfoamtrialp.html But I am not sure if I should try one of the sets with the foam plugs, or if I should try the snoring kit which also has reusable, wax and putty plugs, or even the reusable set...

    CRG Shorty Brake lever GSX-R ($50 with free clutch lever)

    Black/red lever with a silver perch. Fits any GSX-R Nissin radial master cylinder. Great condition with just a slight scrape on the tip from a low side. Bit of paint or sharpie and you'd never notice it. Also comes with a similar condition clutch lever with a slightly broken Buell perch. Could...

    Moto-D saved me $500+!

    My past two track days have been mediocre, I got terrible pain in my knees from my one piece and have explored many alternatives, new suit, Dainese pants to match my jacket, etc... etc... The problem, they all cost $500+ and don't guarantee results. I saw the Moto-D under suit and thought it'd...

    Pirelli Superbike Pro Track Day Slick 120/70

    Has the less than three days worth of B riding at Thunderhill on it. Chris saw it today and said it looked "brand new". Hard to see in the detail of the picture but in the center the small (5mm) circles from the mold are still intact, essentially it picked up rubber in the center instead of...

    Bridgestone S20 120/180 1000 miles

    Ended up getting DOT race tires instead of slicks. Won't be riding street much but because I have the DOT's I won't be needing these anymore. Picked them up in June. Around 1000 miles of mixed twisty and commute riding. They have TONS of meat on them, practically brand new. $100 OBO. Any...

    Steering Head Torque Setting

    Is there a rule of thumb for steering head torque values with taper roller steering bearings? Recently had my bearings replaced and after a few days of riding the front end started clicking again. Sure enough, it was a bit on the loose side. Tightened it to the Buell spec (OEM bearings are ball...

    K@TT Infineon August 13th ROLL CALL

    Its early as hell but I'm stoked to get back out to the track so WTF :twofinger. Who else is joining me? My track time has been nearly exclusively Thunderhill, which is an extraordinary track, but has never been the most suited to a bike with gobs of torque and handle bars. Recently did a FLAP...

    Soaking leathers in water for proper fit?

    I have heard from a few people that soaking your leathers in water and then going for a ride until they dry helps to break them in and conform them to your body. Is there truth in this? My common sense, as well as any searching about soaking leather in water says that it will harden it; doesn't...

    Built-in vs. strap on back protector

    How much of a difference is there in safety and effectiveness between these two types of back protection? To be specific, I have both the HPC G1 back protector insert, which goes into my Dainese Zen jacket, as well as the Forcefield Sub-4 Pro. Looking into getting some pants to go with the...
