motorcycles [ schmi ]

2:19p Need input on dirt bike boots... Any women dirt bikers on here? A local store is having a big 40% off sale and I want to pick up a good pair of boots. I will mostly use these for dual sport riding on my XT225. I'd love any input on what are good brands and features to look for. Any tips for n00bs are welcome too. Thanks in advance!

1:55p New Norton... Yes yes... We all know (I hope) that Norton is being revived. But did you also know that they're bringing back the Wankel?

1:37p XTRM Sports Network I am getting a lot of spam from a site called XTRM Sports Network. They appear to be some sort of forum / advertising / shopping thing. Their hook is that they are offering contingency money and sponsorships to motorcycle racers. The messages are addressed to username elizilla and the same email I use on all forums, which implies that I subscribed to this, though I can't remember doing so. I'm wondering if I was trying to sign up for a track day or something, and had to go through this site? Maybe I got phished in some minor way. Or maybe they just bought a set of accounts from some other moto forum? Anyway, I'm not a racer, just an occasional casual track-day rider, so I'm not going to pull in any contingency prizes. And I am sick of the daily spams. But I cannot find any way to delete my account or shut off this email, and queries to their support go unanswered. Does anyone know of this outfit, and have any idea how to escape their mailing list? If you don't know of them, be warned, they will spam you like crazy if they get your info, so don't give them your real email address! I did not include a link, because I don't want anyone here to treat it as a recommendation and fall into their clutches.

4:05p Goa india arrived in Goa a month ago after a long drive down from Manali Ladahk and Rajasthan. Hitting the sunny, sandy, palm lined beaches of Goa was such a relief after a pretty exhausting ride. i was really glad to be off the bike with no where to go and finally relax. Royal Enfield had sponsored a bike show at a beach village down the road so i went over to explore. rode the new 500 with fuel injection. nice power delivery and good brakes, strange riding position though.

10:31p Parking on the pavement Mostly UK related. Since when can they give a parking ticket or photo ticket for parking a bike on the pavement (sidewalk for those in the USA)? I thought parking restrictions were governed by the Road Traffic Act, pavement (sidewalk) is not road. Anyone? (x posted)

11:51p 8000cc Millyard Viper V10 hits 207mph! OK, this is deeply and insanely stupid on so many levels, but it still interests me strangely for all that! It also scares and impresses me in equal measure! I wonder how quick would it go with a decent aerodynamic fairing on?

11:12p Smoke from places it shouldn't come from, underneath my bike edition! I think there's a hole in one of the exhaust pipes :( This is something I undoubtedly do not have the money to deal with.
