It's your 1st bike, go for whichever one you can get the cheapest. After a couple years of learning to ride and learning what you want in a bike, you can sell it for not too much less than what you...

I read that article too, the 3rd bike was the MotoGuzzi V7. The idea of that article was to compare so called "hipster" bikes due to the retro look to all of them, not because they considered them...

Sold the Ninjette, bought a Bonneville

So as much as I loved my Ninjette, I always wanted a Bonneville. As it turned out, an older guy who lives down the street from my in-laws decided to sell his 2006 with about 7000 miles on it in just...

FS- 2010 Red 250 in the Boston area-$2800

Couldn't agree with you more. I live in Boston and even the difference between from when I first start riding in the spring vs. summer is huge. As tempting as it is, I wouldn't mess around with...

I have Draggin kevlar longjohns with the optional knee and hip armor. Because they are waffley material, they don't really get all that hot surprisingly. The armor is kinda lame though, you have to...

So I can't stop watching this video. It looks to me like he actually hits the mast (the thing that hold the sail?...) on his way down into the boat . Can't imagine that felt too good either.

Good call on the commuting, this city will f-up a car. I'm lucky enough to commute on the T so I just ride for fun. I was on 93/95 for about an hour at 80mph or so and that's what got me.

Good deal on the gloves!

On the jacket, I know it sounds a little weird, but have you tried Craigslist first? I was able to score a $600+ Vanson jacket with a liner for $250 from a guy who bought...

Kinda makes me miss mine but in here in Boston a Miata isn't much more practical than the Ninjette. Speaking of which, it's looking like winter storage isn't that far off. Sucks.

Agreed, putting an automatic in any of those cars is ridiculous, I'll never understand who would want that. Personally, my favorite is the 1st gen Miata (early 90's). They are noticeably lighter and...

I've owned 5 Miatas and 1 S2000 in my life and would probably agree with you but I have to say, the Subaru/Scion is pretty ****ing sweet. And if you live in a place that gets cold in the winter, it...

I believe the only differences in the two are that the BRZ has nicer options (GPS, leather, stereo, etc.) but nothing performance related. I'd stick with the Scion and save a few grand.
