Re: This makes me love my job
I once had an architecture professor who said he could never design a building over three stories for fear that the Contractor might ask him to come up on the roof during construction.

Re: Crazy Tail of the Dragon crash
Regarding use of back brake vs. front; I was always told the front brake is the most effective. But if you want to get the most out of it, you must shift the weight forward and get the front tire mashed into the pavement before you apply maximum force on the lever. Therefore, I always hit the back b...

"Like the Fairmount neighborhood in Fort Worth..."
Exactly. And there are others that would make equally good choices.
Close to Rahr, Benito's, Cat City Grill, Lili's Bistro, Nonna Tata's, etc.

Re: First Home
My advice would be to not buy a new house in the suburbs where every house on the street is the same and not that different than those built a few years ago just a little further in. In this market, the value will not rise very fast, if at all. There was a time when this was not the case; when house...

That's so cool. I saw Endeavour at Carswell one time on it's way to Florida. Kind of amazing to stand there knowing where that thing has been.

Re: Insurance
"...but we sport bike riders get covered at track days."
Covered at track days? Your insurance covers you on the track? I think my policy excludes any riding done on a track. If I bin it, I think I'm on my own.

I have had insurance with Progressive since March of 2003 and been a member of a riding club since May or June ...

Re: Sphere wheels on a motorcycle
The only time I have seen a front motorcycle wheel "jack knife" is when someone did a stoppie, stood the bike on its front wheel, and let the front end fold over. Otherwise, it doesn't happen.

Re: Sphere wheels on a motorcycle
"the bike's spherical drive system is promised to be safer than a traditional motorcycle since the front wheel can't suddenly turn sideways and jackknife, leading to a crash"
Yeah, I have that problem all the time.

Re: Beginner ride - TBD
I have to agree with Rhino. The ONLY time I EVER stripped the treads in my oil pan was the ONE TIME I used a torque-wrench. Luckly on my ST1300, the bolt screws into a plate on the bottom of the pan that can be replaced relatively cheaply.

Re: Wheelies!
I've done a mess of runs at the Kennedale racetrack. I believe that once the wheel starts coming up, (whether you recognize it or not) you will back out of the throttle ever so slightly in an attempt to manage the wheelie. This will hurt your runs. Keep the front wheel on the ground and pin the thro...

Re: For the chauvinist pigs out there
One of the greatest things I discovered when I got married was what I call the "magic hamper". I throw dirty clothes in the hamper, and they appear clean, ironed and back in the drawer in a matter of days. It's really cool. I should have gotten one of these years ago.
