Thanks Zio. Trust me it is scary and uncomfortable to write a report, good or bad... On one hand you may read my report on the Asterisk braces and spend $550 only to hate them, then proceed to tell me I was wrong... you think I don't feel bad that you took my advice and spent your coin on something you are disappointed in. I may be wrong, I am no pro, just a guy that started riding 3 years ago.... The same goes the other way too though, I write a report that casts a negative light on something and you don't buy it when it may have been perfect for you. The bottom line is everybody has opinions on stuff and when we decided to do this review section we wanted to offer you the average "Joe" opinions because thats what most of us are, honest and informative, thats it.And BTW it is not just the mods that do the reviews members have done some too.

ok, my test rsults will be in before the end of the week on the sidi flex force, kinda been late as i had not been able to RIDE for all summer. my i-net is out at my place so i'll get on this while at work, er i mean while i'm being paid to work. be advised, i did the power now. bought it with my own $ and told it like i found it, but still i'll get people that say i'm wrong on it, soooo, the point is, i might say this $@%$#% is the greatest and you might buy a pair and say..."hey, they're crap" but i'll tell ya this. the sidi flex force are some awesome supporting boots.

Well maybe you don't get enough of this then. :thumb:

Your test on the Emig triple clamps got me thinking about opening up the cockpit a little, as we're about the same height. Though I didn't purchase the Emig clamps, your test provided the info I needed without thinking it's an advertising scheme more so than a test (like the mags). I purchased the Applied wrap style clamps/mounts and they work as you described, although I doubt the finish is even close to the finish of the Emig clamps. Bottom line...you were spot on. :thumb:

Well you see it's like this.... get a footpeg stuck in your spokes at speed, go over the handlebars and have the bike hit a tele pole front wheel first and it won't matter what kind of rim you have.....

I was there and saw it, I was the one that pulled the bike off of you.

Yes, I remember.... shortly there after I lost it.... Man was I pissed. Kinda stupid when you think about it, I should have been happy I walked away.

I watched and heard him go down from the announcing tower. I was absolutely amazed that he walked away. I remember immediately calling for Lori (Mrs. Gomer) to go to the last turn. It was one of those get-offs that gives you that sick feeling in your stomach until you see the rider up and moving.
