• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

    Back road riding with motorcycles

    All of the advice given to you thus far is good and will help you to go faster. However you will never, ever be able to keep up with even an intermediate rider on a 600cc or above sportbike. If the sportbike rider is aggressive he will be able to carry much more speed thru the corner than you...

    Your opinion on ABS on trikes - good / bad

    Yeah, everyone is expert riders and should master that whole braking thingy. Even if people practiced it and got good at it, when they are confronted with a very serious emergency situation most, and that includes most of us here, will resort to hitting the brakes as hard as you can whether...

    Your pompous post kind of pissed me off Rick, not that it will bother you. As a matter of fact I spent 11 years as a police officer, not as many years as you but enough to say I have more than a little experience. If you chased anyone, car or motorcycle, at high speeds and all you have on them...

    Yeah, but did you see how quick it was extinguished when the fireman turned the hose on it? That's all we need - a big high pressure hose full of water:)

    Top 10 Motorcycle Trips

    Numbers 4, 5 and 6 are my 'home' roads. I am 30 minutes from the Dragon, and an hour from either the Cherohala Skyway and the Blue Ridge Parkway. Did a portion of the Blue Ridge just about 3 weeks ago. Did the portion from Cherokee, NC (the beginning) to Asheville, NC.

    Just so you know I wore the badge for a few years. As to pursuits and your post above: If you don't know you don't chase if the public might be put in jeopardy. An old worn out saying passed about is that "a radio is faster than a vehicle anyway." If there are no other law enforcement...

    Spyders Underpowered?

    I am not worried about what other folks post about them. I was referring to the fact that some people make posts about being tired of certain topics because they think there are already too many posts on that particular topic while they ignore the kazillion posts on swaybars and laser...

    So you're saying you could "pass or keep up with" a Kawasaki ZX14 or a Suzuki Hayabusa? I suspect hyperbole.

    Spyders Underpowered?

    Two things - they are sportbikes or in the case of the liter bikes - supersport bikes. It's a crotch rocket to cagers. Secondly you state that as a cop you chased people on motorcycles. That presented more of a danger to the public than the motorcyclist ever did. The only justification for...

    You're forgetting that a V-Rod to the Harley people is a red headed step child. They don't claim it. The V-Rod is the only Harley I would ever ride. As for the rest of the Harley line up - I wouldn't ride one if you gave it to me. I would immediately trade or sell it.

    Spyders Underpowered?

    I don't have'em and will never have'em on my current 2012 RT. It is stock. All I have done is have the front shocks adjusted to their firmest setting. I don't have any problems in the twisties (and I live 30 minutes from the Dragon) and I have no problems on the interstate amongst semi's...
