Where can I try on/buy a Suomy motorcycle helmet in Portland, Oregon?

admin — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 08:24:51 +0000

I am looking into buying a Suomy Motorcycle helmet (Italian made) but I don’t think any of the local shops carry them, maybe MotoCorsa but they are closed. Anyone know of a place I can try on sizes to get a better idea? Thanks

Just pick up the phonebook and call around everywhere you can be bothered checking out.

I’m sure at least one will stock them. And if MotoCorsa’s closed, why not just wait til it’s open? What’s the rush?

Should TLC drop the show American Choppers and just do a show on Paul Jr Designs.?

Think about it, the employees for Paul Jr Designs is pretty much the same cast as the first few seasons of American Choppers. They have Paul Jr. Mikey, Cody, and Vinnie… the original members minus the dad. I find them more entertaining then the people at OCC.

How can they do a show on Paul Jr Designs when they aren’t even making bikes yet.

Why are motorcycles allowed in the carpool lane?

admin — Sun, 29 Aug 2010 03:57:08 +0000

Okay, so the title may seem weird but, everytime I’m on the freeway I see motorcycles in the carpool lane. It’s not that I don’t like it or anything, but I’m curious because even the people who are by themselves go inside the carpool lane. Btw: I live in California! I thought that maybe laws will be different in other states! Cuz it’s only allowed in California that bikers can go between two cars!

Ask the law and carpool lane…. Interesting…. There are *NOT* carpools lanes:

The part of the law you asking is:

21655.5. (a) The Department of Transportation and local

effect of the lanes on safety, congestion, and highway capacity.
(b) …A motorcycle, a mass transit vehicle, or a paratransit vehicle that is
clearly and identifiably marked on all sides of the vehicle with the

What motorcyle club (sometimes called gangs) in the USA has the most Italians?

admin — Sun, 22 Aug 2010 17:06:07 +0000

i seem to notice some motorcycle clubs,sometimes called gangs, has more Italians ,Italian surnames,than others

It’s regional. Any club in the north-east is liable to have more people of Italian descent.
Where I live, lots of bikers have Spanish surnames.

The "gang" designation is tool for local cops to draw overtime and federal "anti-gang" funds as a reward for harassing bikers.

what percent of Victory motorcycles are made in the usa?

admin — Sun, 22 Aug 2010 17:05:32 +0000

Own trying to decide which American owned and operated motorcycles to buy. The % of which bike is made in America I will buy.

All Victory motorcycles are made in the U.S.A. Polaris has no Victory plants in other countries.

What does it take for an American to ride unrestricted in the UK?

admin — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 21:20:42 +0000

I am an American with an international license. I have been riding motorcycles for about 15 yrs, and have driven all over Scotland. I will be in the UK for approximately a year and was wanting to purchase a motorcycle to ride for the duration of my stay. I would hate to have to pay for testing, but I want to have the power to which I am accustomed, a minimum of 750cc’s preferably 1100cc’s+.

You can drive a motorcycle in the uk on your international licence for 12 months from the date of your entry to the uk. Beyond this you will need to take a motorcycle test. This consists of…

CBT – Compulsory Basic Training
Theory Test
Practical test

If you are older than 21 you can take your test on a machine restricted to 46bhp, then you can ride any bike unrestricted.

Is Midwest choppers by tech n9ne the fastest rap or is there better?

admin — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 21:20:13 +0000

Midwest choppers 1- tech n9ne

Songs by Tonedeff are better in terms of flow, rhyming, etc. He’s just as fast in songs like Velocity, Heavyweight, etc. I think the fastest ever is Tonedeff’s verse on the song Most High (Plague Anthem) by The Plague at 13.5 syllables per second. Tonedeff can rap live at beats over 180 BPM.

Injury and damage from motorcycle accident caused by unleashed dog, owner liable?

admin — Fri, 13 Aug 2010 18:49:56 +0000

I was riding in the middle of the street. An unleashed dog with no one supervising ran into my motorcycle, he stopped right in front of the front wheel. I braked, hit him but didn’t run him over, he seemed fine. I skinned my knee and dropped my bike when breaking. The bike was damaged. I have two witnesses that saw it happened
Is the dog owner liable for unleashing the dog outside their property and caused accident?
I live in British Columbia Vancouver.

A dog’s owner is liable for damage caused by his animal.
