Hi everybody, I've just got my new 2011 CRF450X (a replacement for my 2004 CRF250X stolen some time ago ). From the place where I live for the moment, to the trails where I usually ride, I'll have to do about 40/50 kms on each direction on streets/paved roads/highways. Will it damage...

There is a creeping nuisance on the streets of London: Toyota Priuses and other electric cars parking silently. You'll be walking past them and then they move. Completely without noise. Every time it happens something in me goes "WAAAH!!". It's like having a little brother who jumps out at...
