I need two stands to replace my sprockets and pull a fork off and rebuild that as well, these stands are cheap and I was going to buy the front and rear set, but I don't like that universal word. I don't have the $ for pitbull stands so don't suggest that but what do you think of these? (I'm planning on anchoring the bike from the handlebars when it's up)
Is there another brand/site you would recommend?

I figure anything is better than putting a 2X4 on my car jack and sliding it under the swingarm!

My brother bought a Hondamatic back in the early 80's. There was nothing good to be said about that bike.

In your opinion AND circumstances what is a good all round machine available on the market today?
Please don't go off on to a narrow minded view here and all brand loyalty blind. For example my mian bikes are Ducatis and like sports bikes but know that they are far from being 'all round' machines.
As I say it is for what you each see as all round and what you want from a bike but open your minds and explain your thoughts.
An all round bike for me needs to be able to hustle along twisting roads when required, be able to throw some luggage on and head off for a long trip, easy enough to use in town on the daily commute, handle everything from paved highway to some rough tracks/gravel roads in the country maybe. It would have to be comfortable, reliable and make me happy to be on it every time.
Something like a KTM Adventure would tick the boxes for me or the 950SM maybe even more.
It is a personal choice folks, no one can have a wrong opinion.

It will start usually when it has been sitting there for a while. But if I ride and get off when I turn the key it does not sound like my fuel pump is coming on. It takes about 20 to 30 min. to get it started if the battery does not die first. Does this sound like a fuel pump problem or something else?

I'm trying to buy something for a 8yo boy at a shelter and he has this item on his list. Is it a motorcycle or helicopter? I'm also guessing that it's a toy of some sort.

I need a new tire, money is kinda tight right now (I'm a college student) but I'm not going to sacrifice quality / performance / safety. I'm currently on a pilot power and I'm thinking I'll repeat that it's around $160 (190 I believe) it's going on an 03 GSX-R 1000.

Is there anything else you would recommend, I've read that the pilot power is overrated?
Is it worth the extra $30 to get the 2CT version?
