    Does anyone know of a stocking dealer for the FX 41 in southern California? I am crazy fussy with my feet, hands and head for fit and a helmet test fit is a MUST. I can only find them online at revzilla and superstore...don't want to have to send it back.

    Why I ride 2.0

    I have posted before about the reasons I ride, wind in the face, head clearing, freedom....but it really boils down to moments. Let's face it, lane splitting in rush hour traffic is not exhilarating or fun and exciting. Eating miles on I-10 is not mind blowing and wildly exciting, unless of...

    Don't miss out !!!!

    Anyone who is a parent, especially if you have younger children, do not miss a minute with them if you can avoid it. Obviously we all need to make a living, and there will be things that are unavoidable that we will miss. My advise is NEVER miss any time or event willingly that could be spent...

    Any car/motorcycle haulers here?

    I am in need of a career change after a life of heavy construction was ended by a ladder fall and has resulted in 2 consecutive neck surgeries. An hourly job is not likely in my situation, looking down at a desk/computer/paperwork for more than a few minutes kills my neck. I am looking at...

    Interesting chart...1 exception

    In this graph of the Ten review I would say most of us would be in the ball park on the assessment. Performance compared to other bikes...better than average, looks, everything pretty legit....UNTIL, you get to "value for the money" category where the Ten is rated lower than average...? Really...
