now coming from a motorcycle shop, if the unit as a whole is a fork, how can you tell the shop guys that the left fork seal needs replaced. same components as the bicycle set up. two stanchions... never mind. after looking at the picture again, the fork she is holding is a solid piece. motorcycle forks aren't connected to each other. you can replace the left fork, or the right fork. with these you would have to replace the entire unit, the 'fork' as a whole. the point i was going to make is invalid, and typing this out has clarified my understanding as to why it is referred to as a 'fork' instead of 'forks'. funny read though. can't believe it went on this long...

Oh sure. Anyone can do 195 mph on a bike. I'm sure you could hop right on and do it, right koleslaw? Besides, a Corvette Z06 can do it, so can a Ferrari, and a few other cars I'm sure. But, I don't know how many people have the finances to buy a Bugatti. I mean, I can run right down the street and buy a motorcycle for about $13,000.00 that will go that fast. It's just not the price that keeps people from doing it. Like rvberkel pointed out, do you have the balls to go that fast? It's a lot different on a bike........

Pinkbike Team Bikes Stolen!
in the motorcycle industry they used to have a disc lock that was an alarm as well. since the bicycles are using disc brakes, something like this may come in handy. when the locks are moved around the alarm goes off. i don't know it they are still being made, but if they are, it might be something to check in to just to prevent situations like this from happening. sorry to hear about the bad luck, hope all the bikes return home safely

Leatt Neck Braces - THE REVIEW YOU MUST READ.
nojzilla- your comment about the brain still moving is spot on. 10 years ago I wrecked my motorcycle. Ended up breaking C2, and my helmet came over and busted my left collar bone. Anyways, on the top of my helmet, there is a dent. Not a scratch, but a dent. No marks on the top of my head, but on my CT scans at the hospital, there was a nice big black spot on my brain. Neuro doctor informed me that was a bruise my brain suffered due to impact with the top of my skull.

Protect your head program.
they say that it's the edges of the full face around the bottom. in certain situations it can add pressure when your neck is trying to bend or compress. there are/were actually groups of people trying to get rid of (motorcycle) helmet laws because they say it increases the chance of spinal injury.
i was wearing my full face when i wrecked my motorcycle. ended up with a broken neck AND traumatic brain injury. a helmet can't stop everything, but i'd be dead if it weren't for mine.
ironically, i still can't get my oldest son to wear a helmet when he's riding his skateboard/bicycle. wife says it his choice, even after 2 concussions and once knocked out in the middle of the street.
