I do not think that for a beginner having a bike as your only means of transportation is wise. I would look into a used car first, then a used bike. Price the insurance of the bike you want to buy first. That may be a deal breaker for you. Perhaps a nice used scooter for tooling around on would work too. If you're hell bent on going with a bike, try to find a older XT 250-650 They go cheap and ...

Spies was pretty impressive in his debut. I think we ( being the USA ) have a true contender for next year. Colin Edwards got a 5th because of him too. Now for the long winter break. There were some great races this year. There were a lot of blow outs too. So I raise my glass to the races of 09...even though it's early.

that stuff was a joke, it adds unneeded rotational mass, its a nightmare to balance, and the next guy to change your tires will hate your guts

That's a good track for Rossi. Since ducati has done well there in the past, I think it will be a fight between him and Rossi. I don't expect Lorenzo to beat him despite having better pace now, although Rossi won't be making any hard passes, he's only going to pass if he has a good opportunity and not risk a fall.

GO!!!!!! I enjoyed watching those guys this year. There were times when I didn't think either of them would end up as they did.

pretty cool, but nothing within 50moles of me...yet

Buell was always the 'red-headed stepchild' of H-D. The only reason it existed is that they hoped to lure the younger generation over to their company and sell them on "real men's bikes", i.e. their overpriced H-D turds. Evidently, it didn't sell. Too bad...Buell at least made some interesting machines in their time.

Not if we do something about it! If Mark only needs $240 to keep the forum up while he works out a new deal, I can put up $100 of that, even half of it. Can anyone else pitch in? I know I haven't donated before, but this forum has given me so much, it's time to put up or shut up. If the forum goes down before a new deal is made, I'd say there's a good chance it won't come back, and I don't want ...

that "etc" means all factory supported teams are out too. I hope that These 'bags at DMG see that nobody is happy and fix the problems before we lose racing in the States

I need some trans fluid from AMSOIL, is anybody on here a dealer or preferred member or whatever?
