  1. Thanks, yeah im fine I had all my gear on including the leather suit I just bought. Honestly im not even sure what happened I wasn't going fast, 30-35 mph at the most but I was going through the turn and slid - all I can remember. I went back up to see what there was and I saw a rock the size of my fist and some big dirt patches which may have caused it. Either way, it could've been worse - and CHP ended up impounding my bike because I left it there on the shoulder for 30 minutes and had to pay $200 to get it out even though the AAA truck I had called was already there. fucking cops

    "The Wave

    by: whiskey

    When I first started riding motorcycles on Manhattan Island I knew most of the riders of over 250 cc bikes in Manhattan and we'd always wave and acknowledge one another. We were kindred souls in the Big Bad Rotten Apple. Despised by most because of our attitude and the fact we most always had some soon to be non-virgin packing behind us as we split lanes and avoided traffic jams. We were an alliance of necessity and so the wave.

    Today there are millions of people on motorcycles on the roads. The rider is not a friend, buddy or anything but some anonymous enthusiast who obtained a bike. Why the fuck should I wave to this unknown? When I'm wandering on foot thru a Wally World or a Mall I don't acknowledge other shoppers yet we for the most part are doing the same thing, shopping or looking.

    Even when a rider who I know approaches I don't wave unless I recognized the person and they're not encased in a spacewalker like helmet.

    There use to be the brotherhood I've described when we were few but now any idiot with a little credit can ride a motorcycle..the exclusivity is gone."

    gee, he's cool.

    I wouldn't buy a quick release, could break in a crash... suomy spec 1r is my next lid. I have a scorpion right now but it's damn heavy.
