A few people have been scammed on the site, Only use paypal to pay for items for sale by other members. If they will not use paypal, its likely a scam NEVER SEND E-TRANSFERS OF ANY KIND.
Ditto. At 72, I gave up my FJR for an NC and have been happy with the decision. I'd love more power but don't need it. I concur on the DCT——no more "old guy sitting at a green light in busy traffic trying to restart his bike and get it into first gear."
Yeah, and most riders get tickets and are involved in accidents. In over 50 years of riding, I've done neither. ;-0 I think I'll stick with what works.
Just got a kitchen pass, so I'll be there Thu-Sat. If anyone in NWA is riding over on Thu, PM me and let's ride together.
For those on the fence, northern Arkansas has some of the best riding in the U.S. I've ridden the state since the late 80's and have never tired of it. Y'all c'mon!

I've found the advice of one of my favorite author/adventurers, Antoine de Saint-Exupery, to be valuable in many areas of my life, including packing for motorcycle travel. He said, "A designer knows he has achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left...
After many years (50+) of clutch-throttle-shifter monkey-motion, I bought the DCT. After two years of riding with it, I hope I never have to go back. I used manual mode at first, thinking I could do things better, but after hitting the rev limiter while passing a couple of times I decided auto...
I made the decision to replace the whisper-quiet stock muffler with a TBR slip-on not because I want to make noise, but so that I can hear my engine. Let me explain.
I wear a full-face helmet with earplugs. With the stock muffler at highway speeds, I can't hear the engine. That means I have...
