This past weekend I had the pleasure of riding a Busa for about six hours. This is one heck of a road bike, I guess I was expecting something different, the myth has been dispelled. Well mannered and handled great in both city and country riding, and gas mileage was a pleasing 45+ MPG, and unexpected.

  When we headed out I didn't expect to be able to ride the beast for more than a hour or so. We stopped about a hour in to our ride for breakfast, afterwards I was eager to hop back on…

Had the pleasure of taking out the Kawasaki ZX 1400 for a day and a half, courtesy of my local dealer. Surprisingly well mannered for a 203hp supper bike, handled well and not to bad for comfort, given my old bones I couldn't ride more than a few hours.

I was hoping you would take a look.

But it's true, cooler temperatures causes low inflation, duration and poor performance. This is why it important to check you tire pressure more often during the cooler months.

The science of this effect is known as Boyle's law. Boyle's law describes the inversely proportional relationship between the absolute pressure and volume of a gas, if the temperature is kept constant within a closed system. For a fixed amount of an gas (air) kept at a…

The past thirty days I have experienced more near crashes then in my 40+ years of motorcycling, in such a short period of time. Five pullouts, three within 25 feet at speeds of about 40mph, needless to say I just stopped about a foot or two from impact, I have ABS. Two run off the road, from cars passing another car on the left lane, and one near side swipe on the interstate in the rain, traveling into my lane before passing me and crossed in front of me with no more than 3 feet to…

Nothing unless you're going to Cafe Du Monde on Decatur Street in French Quarter of New Orleans and you live in Southwest…
