    Questions about selling a used bike

    I bought my son a bike last year, so we could ride together (02 kawi zr-7) but he moved to Seattle a few months ago,so now I guess I am going to sell it. 1st questions.

    My first tip over

    I was really hoping to never post here,but I fucked up today. The light turned green and I lifted my outriggers up before I took off. I fell against the car next to me and scratched both of her doors. I was both mad and embarrassed at such a dip shit move. Bottom line is I didn't stay focused.

    Linked brakes

    I was thinking about taking the scenic route to livermore tomorrow. But I have never been on that road after alot of rain. Are there WATER crossings and if so are we talking a couple inches or deeper. Since I can't put my feet down I was a little worried about this. Thanks

    slipper clutch question

    So here is my question. Since I use a electric shifter to shift my fj09, I was wondering if a slipper clutch would be easier on my transmission when I down shift. Up shifts are smooth,but when I down shift from 4th on down, sometimes it feels rough on the tranny. You are not supposed to use the...
