Hairpin lowside/highside on KLX250SF today
Heading down towards the turn, I felt like a kid staring at a chocolate cake and given a fork... beautiful day, beautiful turn. Probably explains my tunnel vision, although not sure if I could have...

It must of been the dual-sport FX model. I have had a 2014 Zero S since last April. My bike, with the optional power tank (which was thrown in for free!), can go a real 100+ miles IF I stay off the...

If you watch the Yamaha video above, they talk about gradually loading the tire so the contact patch can squat down. Gradual loading can't be done by ABS, it has to be done by the rider, because the...

Yeah, I get behind guys with rear-facing cameras (and I suppose some get stuck behind me...) but they never end up posting on youtube! With so many people with cameras, it's a shame more...

Why do you do trackdays?
So no doubt I will get faster by doing trackdays, but that isn't really the goal. Mostly I just enjoy it. Am I an outlier? A track coach told me so, but I think his perspective is skewed, since he...

Right.
On one side of the equation is the energy/resources/carbon production to build the battery, and the question is, does that negate the 200k miles of fossil fuel burning. At 60mpg that's...
