    You're not wrong, but can't pull the trigger quite yet.

    What crash bars are these?

    Cool. Thank you for the information. Definitely. Going to have to do quite a bit of research, getting into a whole different style of bike and I didn't realize just how deep this world went.

    What crash bars are these?

    Is there a difference in protection between all the different brands of crash bars offered, or is it more about trying to find the best price?

    Nice! Thank you so much. So the Goldwing Drill Team won't have an issue with someone not on a Goldwing? :D Crown King is actually one of the places I want to go to the most and then Tower Mountain at night! I've only been living here since 2016 and haven't really left the city except to go...

    Trying to get back on two wheels

    I hear the best practice is to leave one foot, ideally the left, on the peg and flat foot just one foot rather than try to reach the ground with both feet.

    I had no idea the local PD did anything like this. That's awesome! But it's definitely something I won't be able to attend due to not having a bike currently. But it's something to look at! And I was totally going to ask if you lived in the PHX area at some point since you seem to be familiar...

    Thanks for clarifying some of the differences between the gens! Surprisingly my endorsement is still valid according to my new license I got issued this year. I did consider taking an MSF course again as a refresher, but what I was really hoping for was to find a Moto Gymkhana group here in...

    Trying to get back on two wheels

    I sat on a 2018, non-ES model at the local dealership a few months back that was strapped down, so it was just on two wheels and neither the kick or center stand. I don't know what position the seat was in though, but I couldn't flat foot it. Was on the balls of my feet. Hopefully the ground...
