Drill Sgt. Joe's Maintenance
Page
One of my personal favorites, so I
had to bring this to your attention. While it relates to the Honda Valkyrie, it
is one of the most clever and entertaining bits I have encountered on the net.
The contents are very well done and accurate. My thanks to Bongo for permission
to add it here. Read and enjoy!
THE MOST incredible ad we've ever seen...Cog
Not motorcycle related, but
you will be amazed! Not your typical Honda ad. There are no computer graphics or digital tricks in the film. Everything you see really happened in real time exactly as you see it. You won't be disappointed! If you
have dial up, kick off the link before you go to lunch.
Bikers
Rights Online...Rights!
An EXCELLENT site with all the news WE ALL need to know about, and
exceptional list of links..
Search for

Performance Parts for your scooter...KaleCo

of their automotive products adapt well to motorcycles.
Some
VERY funny stuff...Atom Films
Not motorcycle related,
but we've always been fans of claymation. That and some very clever videos here.
We highly recommend this site for a damn good chuckle!

Master Safety Group
...I can't
say it any better than they can:
It seems to me that when you put upwards of $20,000 into a motorcycle someone
should tell you how to keep it functional and safe. Someone should tell you that
you should clean the dead bugs off your forks when you get back from a ride to
save your fork seals. Someone should tell you how to dump the bike without
ending up under it. Someone should teach you how to manage a passenger. And
someone should teach you that you need to have the spline gear greased every
12,000 miles, whether you need to replace your rear tire or not.
These things are not the stuff of an MSF class. These are the things that
experienced riders share with each other. So, here we are - sharing.
