Seriously, GM? On the Accord forum a member posted a small fire that started in a headlight connector, very fixable damage. The dealership called Honda to report it and Honda said don’t touch it. They gave the owner a brand new car and took his to review the issue. THAT is how you treat customers.

If anyone ever asks you why you ride a dirt bike on the street, you tell them “because you can’t ride a street bike in dirt”.

ADV style bikes can be faster and safer on twisty roads that are crumbly, bumpy, and generally not as smooth as a race track than sports bikes. They’re a bit physically large for my taste, but pretty much only the KTM is designed specifically for off-road stuff

I guess you could say they...

It’s always a good time to be into motorcycles. But particularly good right now.

Honestly as much as people will give you crap for having an adv bike and not taking it on dirt they are more comfortable than many cruisers and better long distance touring bikes than many touring bikes. I suggest moving closer to dirt but since that’s probably not an option I think you’d still have a great time with…

My issue with the owner’s behavior was that she took her frustrations out on the kid instead of the parents. She should have addressed them directly instead of sending “hints,” as the parents were clearly too clueless to get them. It sounds as if the parents’ behavior was completely obnoxious and they should have been…

Yes. Children are a choice that their parents made, and it’s not the world’s responsibility to treat kids with the same permissiveness as a parent.

The R33 wheels would fit the R32 body really well. The stock R32 wheels are very... JC whitney.

On the other hand, they do make it a lot easier to split stopped traffic on the bike.

Add to that people who don’t pull the fuck forward when stopped behond other vehicles at a traffic light.

Your loss...

I did 1,300 in 24 hours on the tail end of a trip around the US and Canada a few years back. I woke up in Deming, NM and rode 18 hours (with multiple stops, natch) to Biloxi, MS.

It damn near broke me, and the only thing that kept me going across Texas was the promise of a Waffle House at the Louisiana state line.

“Update: The race bike has been found”

It’s completely obvious who took it. Who else would require a top-notch all-electric bike and expect to get away with stealing it? Fortunately, there is one man who can catch him.

Anyone dumb enough to steal something they can’t sell deserves to get caught beaten.

I got my ‘13 Ninja 300 for $4200. Oh and it’s a fun bike, with more that enough power and speed to get you in trouble.

Fit would probably be the biggest reason for going with Arai over a Shoei or other high-end brand. The Arais always seemed a little nicer in terms of weight/material quality, but they fit me like a torture device* so I wear a Shoei.
