I was reading about safeguarding your bike recently, one tip I remember is that if your using a chain or cable, don't let it lay on the ground. A lot of the thieves use the really big bolt cutters. If the chain is on the ground it makes it a little bit easier for them to use the ground as leverage. ...

Resist the urge! Break-in is only once and do it right. Don't be banging your cluch to pop wheelies already. Silly me, it's a big bike, you don't gotta bang the clutch to get a wheelie out of it. Just ride it on over to Shreveport and back between 5th and 6th gear for the day. That'll break it in al...

Sparrowhawk - The current issue of Sportbike magazine has a "shootout" of the current model 600's. They are not kind to the Triumph but then all of them are within 2 seconds of each other on a track. - I like Triumphs. Have you seen the Triumph Speed Triple or the ST? http://www.triumph.co...

Digi - You bought a liter class ! Good for you - so much more comfortable than those little bikes isn't it.
You check out those XENA locks? Probably wouldn't keep it from being stolen but it'll make a lot of noise.

What did you do Saturday ?

Saturday ! Up at 8:00, at the garage at 9:00. Ate a chocolate donught and a large coffee. Blasted down I-30, after about 8 miles couldn't take following people no-more and started demonstrating the excellent cruising characteristics of the Sport Touring motorcycle.

Thanks !

Thanks for the welcomes ~ I hope to make many more rides. - As I was leaving MSR there were a few riders, 2 on HighBoozas at the entrance taking a break. Any of those guys stopping by FWMR ? I've never taken a good look at one of those. - After the ride Sunday I was headed north to I-20 when someone...

Sunday's ride

PRDave - were you on the ride Sunday?
This was my second ride, and the first time I met so many people but I don't remember a Dave.
I do remember someone on a brand new bike - and it sounded like it already had an aftermarket muffler.

There's a picture of my bike!
Day 2 - I rode up on a curb in front of my brothers house in Colorado and went to put my foot down - and the ground was about 4-5 inches farther away. I couldn't stop it.
And the second time I did that was on the Ride a few weeks ago :grin:

I bought my first motorcycle March of 2006, but didn't touch it until July 10th, 2006. When I was growing up a friend had a 100 du...

Guys, thanks for letting me come along on the ride Saturday. That was fun and I want to do it again. Bennie - sorry to hear of the flat, and glad you were able to stop safely.
If that was Moderate, is Intermediate faster, slower, or shorter?
