What would you replace it with?
For me, I'd like to see a big single, maybe a bored out version of Yamaha's
Raptor 660 engine, with the 720 kit.  That would be a hoot!

Mesquite Police Santacops and the Mesquite Chapter of the CMA, Crossroad
Riders, are holding the 7th Annual Ken Ward Memorial Toy Parade on Saturday,
December 4th.
Registration starts at 9am, and the parade starts at 11am.

So, it began as a normal 4 cylinder day...

Hey all, I am going for a ride with a couple friends tommorrow morning
and was wondering if anyone knows any fun roads to ride on in
Southwest Florida (Fort Myers, Naples area).
Thanks,

Yo Mike...I know you went out and got a high quality Toyota
when you thought you were getting a clunker domestic
Pontiac. Well, I've got you beat, I went out and did
something REAL stupid, I spent all morning trading in my

This is wild!  :pimp:
This happened this past weekend. Sat 9/25/04
The old man was following one of those fast whippersnappers around the

A Harbor Freight store just opened near me and I went to check it out
today.
They had the tire changer along with the motorcycle tire accessory in

I never been to a trackday, and I just got introduced to technical street
curves a couple years ago. I hang out with some riders that have a real

my pace has increased. The other day, one rider caught me on ...

70 in a 50....
I asked the cop if he would write us a warning....He said "no, but it
doesn't hurt to ask."  At least he had a sense of humor.  He's probably off

would throw a few up just for fun.
Getting ready to go have fun!

When I bought my SV1000, I sorta considered the Buell XB12R.  I steered
away, mostly due to the resale value, and the reports of problems, all of
none I know of first hand.
I also remember my uncle Jim, who had bought an AMC manufactured Harley, and

Getting a funny smell (as Troy can attest to) from the new Gixxer. Hard to
tell if it's just heat or not. Doesn't smell like oil. Smells sort of like
anti-freeze, but I've torn all the farings off (most difficult faring
removal I've EVER had on a sport bike... but that's another ...

I like to ride fast. Usually 10 or 100 over the speed limit. Every time I'm on a back road and cars
get back up and no passing can be make, I find that it's a couple of guys doing less than the speed
limit on there cool Harleys.
