None of the guys I golf with ride motorcycles and it sounds like there aren't any avid golfers that belong to this forum. That's ok, because I like them both.

$2.14 in Kansas City

Just noticed that I have only put 2,500 miles on my NC this year. I have played 120 rounds of golf. At 4.25 hours per round, I could of been on the bike for 510 hours. Averaging 40 mph I could of added 20,400 miles to the bike. Or maybe with those 500 hours, I could have learned how to play...

Thanks, LBS. I have only used the quick search. I will try your suggested advanced search.

I have been a member since Jan. Today is the first time that I have seen anything mentioned about using subscriptions to follow a thread. I have been creating my own notebook by cutting and pasting all the valuable information that I might use at a later date. Are there any other tips that users...

This weekend I found myself on a road with a mud covered patch. I slowed down, but not enough and instantly fell over when my front tire slid to the side. I am fine and my bike is fine except for the bent shifter and a big bruise on the bar end. Is the shift lever something that can be...

The reason I bought this bike is that it seems to be the swiss army knife of motorcycles. I am not interested in owning multiple motorcycles, so I wanted to find the bike that would do everything ok. In every category there are better motorcycles, but this is the best multi use bike I found. The...
