Episode 53 - November 14, 2010
What happens when you’ve got 6 people in a mini van, a rider behind them and 10 miles of road on which to drive and ponder? Well, obviously, you discuss how best to take the rider out using a paintball gun. Poor James.
If you’re reading our show ‘blog, you’ve no doubt seen some of Denise Dickenson’s ride reports. This week we invite Denise on the show to discuss her impressions after riding the VFR1200, and Denise’s history in riding in general. 180,000 miles on her FZ1. Let that sink in.
After our discussions, we run through a few news items, including a big tire comparison article in Motorcycle USA, a Ninja 1000 review including pricing and some technical information, and the Tiger 800 gets priced (in Europe). If the pricing goes as expected, this will be a VERY competitively-priced product.
Aerostich say Thank You to the vets with a 10% discount for active service members, and our “Genius or Madness†pick of the week falls a little on the “huh...?†side of things; The StreetRyder passenger grab handle. Just click and see.

hey i was able to use one of those passenger support bars you mentioned in the WTF section. SR SportBar from StreetRyder. it was a great ride with my girl with using it. i was alittle sceptical but my buddy had one and i used it. its attaches with magnet. def took the stress off of me and my girl said she was more comfortable too, she liked it. just ordered one for myself and gave my friend’s back. its a great idea i think for $60 and it did what it claimed, man ive bought gloves for more than $60.
