Realistically, The Rider's Edge Training program ought to use 125cc automatic shift scooters so the student can just get his license. Wasting skill training on...
Gloria, Mike and Frank: I have often wanted to use a dual sport machine with flexible plastic bodywork and steel or protected levers but the seats are...
Frank: I forgot to mention that the Blast is the largest displacement trainer out there and it doesn't have the most "new rider friendly" friction zone/clutch...
Had a great ride. Pics and reports start on page 6 of this thread on ADVrider. http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=517324 Mike S. aka tbirdsp...
Dave, Have you considered platform shoes for students? Step ladders? Maybe a height requirement (you must be THIS tall to...) :-) Glad to hear it's being...
David, you probably know that 'some' of my opinion is TIC, .....but, when does an observed event become more a description than a stereotype? I also think that...
Frank: This is what you said that I would consider stereotyping: "Realistically, The Rider's Edge Training program ought to use 125cc automatic shift scooters...
i also think this needs to be reviewed. manufactures are starting to offer autos and there are big bore auto scooters. people could start riding today,...
To many of those who do not know, Buell does and did not control any of the advertising or marketing of the Buell product, that has been a Harley Davidson...
New Honda VFR1200 has a dual clutch pack resulting in shiftless riding, the Honda DN01 has a CVT automatic, Yamaha has electronic shifting and the 800 Aprila...
I'm not sure who I am addressing, but I don't think anyone here is bashing Buell nor dislikes them. I don't think one can like or dislike a machine. Maybe one...
Mac: I agree. So far my Management at the DMV is clinging to the belief that if a student wants a motorcycle endorsment they need to learn and test on a...
Frank: That was the case until they killed Buell altogether two weeks ago. We have a 2010 Blast on our showroom floor. It says neither Buell nor H-D on it...
Frank: I agree and have been at odds with the DMV/Office of Highway Safety since June of 2008 over the issue. I'm working on changing some closed minds. It...
That time again, and I can take a ride :-) Anyone interested in a dual sport/adventure touring Loess Hills Level B run? Not sure if it will be dust or mud...
I should be able to make it and take the DRZ400, may have to dig out the electrics for the ride to the restaurant though. Looks like no rain most of the week...
Hi Mike, I'm very interested in the dual sport ride. However, I have a few questions. What is a "Level B" run? Is it on roads or trails? I would be on my...
Hi Kathy! While riding the Loess Hills you will often see a dirt road with he following sign: "Level B minimum maintenance road. Travel at your own risk"....
Hmmm, saw the pics. Looks like it was a bit wet back then. I doubt it would be like that now. If we don't get rain between now & Saturday, I'm definitely...
I may run up to the area this week to check it out for sure, but I think you're right. We will leave the Summer Kitchen and take I-680 to Crescent, then north...
I know you are hearty riders so be aware there will be a ride Saturday November 21. The weather will dictate how long the ride is. The ride leaves Breeze...
Mac: I have never been much of a Southpark fan but that was excellent. Thanks for the tip. I nearly choked laughing at "the gang" in Ronny's when they realized...
One last reminder for breakfast/dual sport ride tomorrow. I'm sure someone will be riding street also. Mike S. We will leave the Summer Kitchen and take I-680...
