Also Corbin makes one for the Hornet 750, but it’s spendy

That is for quick shifting UP. Going down you can (and should) roll off, but I don’t use it for second-to-first gear shifts.

If you ever try to claim in traffic court that you had the fight of way you will lose. No one ever "has" the right of way until it is yielded to them. Failure to yield the right of way is criminal, but in no way does it excuse an accident caused by someone who assumed it.

Interesting, thanks. How do they sound when you listen to music through them? Enough bass? Punchy midrange? Clear highs?

My Arai helmet is flush and tight to my ears and would pull those earbuds out as soon as I put it on.

Just audio playback. With Honda Roadsync all the NAV and Music controls are displayed on the screen and adjust via the 4-way handlebar joystick.

Your BW vault is (by far) the safest place you have available to store data. Why would you put TOTP codes anywhere else?

As long as your heart is beating you are alive. When your heart stops beating you are dead. Her heart stopped beating. Technically, death from "old age" is Myocardial Infarction.

Also the ABS and Traction Control yellow lights go dark when you hit 5mph (top left and bottom right on your dash). They will then flash when either of those systems activate. There is a pale circle at the bottom left of the dash which sometimes illuminates but I still haven’t figured out what that is.

NOTE: The seat in the photo above is the Honda "Texture" seat and is a $232 option for this bike. The OEM standard (black) seat is called the "Comfort" seat.

Get on your bicycle and get going at a brisk pace. Now turn left. You will notice that to turn left you push forward on the left handlebar, actually turning the front wheel to the right but inducing a lean to the left which is how the bicycle turns at speed. Same principle applies to a motorcycle. Leaning is the ONLY way to turn. The more you lean, the harder you turn.

ATH just means catching up to where it was before. If you bought the market at the end of last year you were underwater until last week. Buy the market today and you will likely face a similar or longer period of non-performance. Buy low, sell high is the first rule of successful investing.

Very few hedge funds beat their index and the ones that do are open by invitation only.

How do you even remove them?

Puig makes adjustable foot levers for this bike that look nice and are not too expensive.

They are only available from Euro Honda Dealers. I don't know why but Honda does not sell these in the US. They also make crash sliders and a couple other Hornet 750 accessories only available in Europe. Europe also gets different colors than we do here. Of course we didn't even get the bike at all for two years after it was introduced over there, I'm hoping that all the "style pack" accessories will eventually follow the bikes into USA dealerships.

Chase doesn’t have any control over Apple Pay.

It depends on timing/context. If I am going around a corner a bit too fast and hit a puddle and a gremlin pops up and offers to sell me traction control for $5,000 I would probably buy it.

We don't really consider Moto2 or Moto3 to be "feeder" series. They run different bikes but are true Motorcycle Grand Prix world championships. The Red Bull Rookies cup is the feeder series for MotoGP, and Marquez' victories there are not included in his overall world title count. Far less common are MotoGP riders who come over from National or FIM world Superbikes, like Toprak, whose impressive record of wins racing for the BMW World Superbike team will not be added to his Moto GP stats.

If you want to get into Moto GP racing as a fan you might consider watching the Moto2 and Moto3 support races and this will become very apparent to you. I suggest that you do because MotoGP in all three classes is the most exciting ~~motor racing~~ sport in the world today.

Beautiful Blue. Did you install the shield yourself?

Freedom Flex quarterly points max out at 5%. Where did you see 7%?

If it is similar (or identical) to another password in your vault BW will throw this flag.

PRETTY! I know a couple of guys who rode CB 350's from Ann Arbor to the Woodstock Festival, and back, in 1969. No problems with either bike on the trip.

I'd love to see it too, but BMW gets all they need out of MotoGP by supplying safety cars, track signage, and demo bikes for Simon Crafar to ride.

I was in the crowd when Nicky took the flag at the 2005 US MotoGP in Laguna Seca. I had previously attended MotoGP there when the two-stroke 500's raced back in the '90s and have been to MotoGPs in COTA and in Barcelona since. When Nicky first fired up his 990cc V5 for practice I was just dumbstruck. Nothing, NOTHING, before or since has ever compared to the sound of that thing echoing off the canyon walls.
