I know you twisted it ... did you squeeze it?


Just a friendly little reminder as we all get out there for our first rides of the season.

It's so easy to look down the road, see nobody in front and give that throttle the first good twist of the season. Don't forget to look in your mirrors, see nobody behind and give that front brake a good squeeze to work on your stopping distance.

A little practice can save your bike.

You just like to lock up the rear to smoke it when you stop, because you can't do burnouts.

No...actually I really like the pucker factor of an impending highside.

WooHoo! I Love it. in fact why have a front brake at all. (Flat track style..Baby!) Think of how much weight we could drop off the 929 for the track by removing all that front brake paraphenalia!! Boy we'll be flyin!
