Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

      Nice choice...wanted a Speed Triple/Street Triple a while back but wanted some fairings for the long trips I often take.

      Currently:

      But I plan to get another R1 next year.

        That looks like streets of Willows.........used to take my 600 there until I trashed it.

        Latest R1 looks wicked. You ride the Crest?

          Yeah, I liked ACH before I got fed up with seeing the CHP there all the time...same with Azusa, Ortega, ect...or at least on weekends
          Right now my bike is in the shop...1 year old, 10k miles, and engine went out. I doubt I'll buy another kawi again. I'm tempted to buy a 600 but I think I would miss the power...and the liters just aren't that much more when new.

          I'm sticking with track days from now on...no cops, no cars, no worries. There's many of them under $100 now.

            The trick is to ride very early and start out from little Tujunga canyon (take Oro Vitae from Foothil BLVD) in city of Sunland and you will have the road to yourself all the way up to ACH. BTW, this is 600 territory ….you end up working too hard in a 900 to keep up.

            If you can ride the track then absolutely, that is good riding that tests your skills in a safer environment…..plus like you said, you need a 900 there.

            Happy trails and rubber side down.

              I just got back from the MotoGP. Now to count down the days until next year...

              Nice bike. Here in Aus. it's the same with the popular roads. Riding them on weekdays helps.

                I used to be on the mountains before 8am at times but still, on hte way down, they'd be there waiting. Lately I've been too lazy to get up so early and been tagged. weekdays is best if possible.

                I can't believe Jorge wiped out on turn one! I'm a big fan of Fiat Yamaha Team...especially 99 and 43. I normally just ride all the time, and watch Motogp at times, but I've been forgetting to read about that crash...thanks for the reminder. On Motogp.com he says he lost his front brake from that little tap. http://www.motogp.com/en/news/2009/l...bout+the+crash

                  Re: Any sportbikers here?

                  The chances are much higher to run into a slow moving vehicle during weekdays midmorning through canyons, especially if people use it as commute to work which also translates into them passing slower cars unsafely........and my friends, the chances are that there you are, coming around a blind corner.

                  Ride as the sun comes up…….there are enough challenges to master the canyons safely, you don’t need surprises.
