Wow. This has to be one of the first reports of a strom slapped. Hopefully a few people will look in to getting a Scotts damper:) I feel kinda bad getting...
I noticed some "death wobble" on my way down to Road America for the Super Bike Races this June. Had the Givi E41's mounted along with my large tank bag....
With over 17k miles this bike never had any head shake until the accident. It was 'oh shit, now just relax and maybe you won't break anything coming to a stop....
Yep. That is the nature of head shakes.. or slappers. Pretty much the same thing my dad told me far as "I never expected a bike I had ridden over xxxxx...
At one point I did raise them but the bike has a slightly oversize rear tire now and I moved the forks back to stock settings because the rear end was higher....
Well, I'm thinking seriously of at least putting one on my CBR-929 and if the V-Strom is salvagable (I just carry liability on my bikes) I'll definately put...
... Please don't take this the wrong way....but a quieter clutch is no substitute for riding a bike that you completely and totally enjoy owning and riding (as...
HOLY COW! You are both lucky and unlucky. A tankslapper isn't something you would think about or even prepare for. I don't have saddlebags but mine has...
Thanks for answering my question on the forks, Ed--looks like I might need to check out a steering damper! I've got another question for everyone else: Who's...

... Sorry to hear about the get-off, but I'm glad you are more or less in one piece. Sounds like quite an event. Thanks for filling us in. Jeff =====...
I had Geico on my 2000 BMW. They wanted to increase my premium when I bought the Strom so I checked out GMAC where I already had two cars and a motorhome.My...

I'd say someone had a 4 leaf clover, rabbit's foot, AND guardian angel watching over on that day. Very glad to hear you're alright. My condolences on the...
Chris, I'm in Northern VA and I pay about $500 annually for $100/$250 deductibles. I'm 36, single, and I'd rather not talk about my driving record since the...
... Thanks Hubert & Erik, Yep this is a cautionary tale and you should think about what could happen if you ride at high speed into a strong head wind. I ...
How many people have gone down WHILE riding (parking lots and driveways don't count.) Just curious. After Ed's post it got me thinking that we might have an...
