Okay, so I'm moving to Sheffield, England here in a few months and I'm wondering if my motorcycle licens from here in the US will transfer directly so I can ride 600cc bikes and up or if I'm going to get screwed and have to go down to something like a 50cc push bike and hate riding for a few years. I've been riding a 750 GSXR now and having to go down to something tiny isn't what I wan't to do, but I want to keep riding. Do tracks allow US licenses for trackdays (maybe just a trackbike will do for now) or do you have to have a full UK license for those?

I know CBS broadcast a three race series last year, but will someone be broadcasting the entire season this year? I can't find the MotoGP TV schedule anywhere for the US. My guess is that I have to pay to watch it on the NET and hook my laptop up to my TV. Something I'm not looking forward to.

So I just got done riding home in the rain. I park my bike and when I went out to the garage I decided to look at the tires (they still looked and felt wet after a few hours of sitting there). The front tire seems to have bubbles (or blisters) on it. I'm wondering why this happened. The tires also seem really hard like they've been sitting out for a year without being ridden on. I've put over 1000 miles on the bike in the past two months and the front tire still has at least 10-15% left on the tread. Will these blisters go away or do I need to change this tire now. I was planning on changing it soon anyway since I just changed the rear tire.

I'm just wondering what people thought of these tires if they've riddent them. I just put a rear Metzler Sportec M-3 tire on (0 miles as of yet) and I'm just wondering what peoples comments are on them. The wonderfull, the good, the bad, and the ugly.

I just got a puppy and I'm trying to potty train him. Whenever I catch him in the act, I tell him in a stern voice 'NO' and rush him outside to where he has gone a few times. Now that we have bad weather, all he does is sit down and whine and doesn't sniff around. I bring him back to his crate (currently crate training as well) and when he gets quiet I bring him back outside to go potty. I keep saying "let's go potty" to him, but then he just sits and whines to go back inside. Is there any techniques to try and get him to go outside in rain, or do I just have to live with it?
