That's cool! I admire people that have that ability. Just depends on when and where.

Welcome! Let's see you'll need 5 avatars and 5 screen names - one for each bike. Each time you make a comment you'll have to leave one for each screen name. If you attend an event you'll have to bring 5 dishes. If all this gets too cumbersome I'm sure someone on here would be willing to take one or more of those bikes off your hands for cheap. Let's see what other rules are there??? Did I leave any out guys?

It does affect our insurance. Have you heard of insurance tables based on statistics of ALL riders?

I've been down with full gear and got up without a scratch though my bike was totaled. People who ride without gear affect my insurance. That makes it my business. Not to mention when someone goes down without gear we all suffer. The public does not divide us into 2 groups - those with gear and those without. They just see a a biker down.. if they have no gear and are severely injured it reflects on us all. Politicians look for excuses to legislate us off the street and every injured biker gives them ammunition. I believe in all the gear all the time.

It's just a job! At least that is how many view it. When I was in college I worked at what was then called King Kwik in Cincinnati, a convenient store. This particular one gave free coffee to police officers. As a result there were always cruisers parked outside and we were one of the few stores never to have been robbed on 3rd shift. Anyway..Most of them owned bikes. I had just bought a new Kawasaki KZ750-4. The first year the 750 had a 4 cylinder, prior years were twins. A couple of the officers from 3 different surrounding communities asked me to meet them on a backroad when I got off work. I let them take turns riding it down the road while I listened to them tell me stories of speeding etc... how to rig your lights so you could turn them off when approaching a cop etc. All in all they act and behaved like you and I when off duty, speeding, drinking etc but when on duty it was strictly by the book. They were like -" Look I understand the desire to speed..we do it as well.. but if you come past me when I'm on duty I'm obligated to ticket you. " I blew past an officer that owned a Gym I went to in a 1986 Fiero GT I owned. I didn't even see him. Later that day while working out he told me when and where I was speeding but had let me go... For the most part they're like us.. they have good and bad days.. it is only a job and they are not angels nor morally perfect..

OUCH - You're a tough sell..

Ahhh man... looks like it was a lot of fun... I'll have to figure some way to make it next time.

Interesting... I have several books on ants including The Ants by E.O Wilson and Bert Holldobler. I used to work at the Cincinnati Zoo's Insectarium. Entomology is a bit of a hobby.

Awesome !!!

My condolences. Your family will be in our thoughts and prayers.

LOL i should have expected that.

Actually I have an Icon and a KBC Vr2r Mladin replica. The KBC has a smaller outer dimension and flows soooo much more air than the ICON. However, the tinted shields i bought for the KBC both seem a bit foggy.. compared to the ICON tinted shield. Both great helmets.

Not sure what all the fuss was about. Who can complain about a bikini bike wash spam or not???? Ignore everyone.. you can post bikini bike washes anytime you want!!

Based on their responses I'd say give em a pass. Everyone makes mistakes... They sound sincere enough.

Welcome Wife and kid huh? I guess she hasn't started the - "You need to get rid of that thing before you get hurt blah blah blah" Of course being a Police Officer ... your job would be more dangerous than the bike.. hmmm... interesting discussions I bet - I'd like to be a fly on your wall.

Oh and I voted Sweet! What else could I vote and still remain unbias.

yeah.... looks like.. well kind of like.. damn if it doesn't look like mine.. but older. A whole lot older ... in fact upon closer examination it really doesn't bear any resemblance.

Hmmm..... I haven't seen anything like that since college! Not sure ... exactly... what to make of it.

Icon mainframes, subhuman, hooligans are on ebay for $150-169.

Evidently, though not quite yet, I lean towards impotency or some other sexual issue or defect.. as nearly every sports car alludes to that. Hmmmm.... Fortunately the Lotus is not on the list there may be hope for me yet.

Unless yours was dynoed on the same dyno you can not cross compare numbers.

Hmmm... mine puts out 10 at the wheel... just before the starter kicks over... so it has to be more than that...

There's one that moves from a local bike shop to a window tinting shop and back on a regular basis. Not sure what the deal is. I thought it was for sale.. maybe just trying to get more exposure.... I'm not sure I get the concept. The T-rex is bad-ass.. the can-am is kind of like a sissified T-rex. A bike with training wheels.

Those are some good numbers!!!

Yeh.. you better not. I plan on meeting all you guys this summer and the last thing I want to hear is you wrecked your bike....
