    Just before the Busa wrecks behind me, the Victory just in front of me goes wide and almost hit gravel. Sometimes the cause of accidents is the lack of saddle time, get out and ride your bikes guys. Learn her characteristics and what she's capable of, chances are you'll never out-ride what...

    Hard starting

    Anybody else having any issues with hard starts? The bike starts up no problem when I first fire it up before I ride. Thing is, when I take a break it's tough too get started when the motor is hot. Been in the 90's since I picked up the bike last week and it always hovers around the 200+...
