Fast and furious actioner focuses on undefeated extreme motorcyclist Laurence Fishburne as he prepares to defend his title in an illegal street race. Now, Fishburne must contend with ornery biker Kid Rock and a secret that connects him with his greatest opponent--racing prodigy Derek Luke. Orlando Jones, Lisa Bonet, Vanessa Bell Calloway, Djimon Hounsou, and Larenz Tate co-star. 111 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtracks: English Dolby Digital 5.1, DTS 5.1, Dolby Digital stereo, French Dolby Digital 5.1; Subtitles: French, Spanish; biographies; deleted scenes; featurette; production notes; theatrical trailer.

When it's revved up to maximum rpm's, Biker Boyz qualifies as an adequate knockoff of The Fast and the Furious. Both films were inspired by magazine articles about speed-freak outlaws on the streets of California, only this time the nitrous-enhanced "rice rockets" are of the two-wheeled variety, and Smoke (Laurence Fishburne) is the reigning "King of Cali," leading a predominantly African American subculture that schedules illegal motorcycle races with high stakes and potentially lethal outcomes. Kid (Derek Luke, the promising newcomer from Antwone Fisher) is the latest challenger, facing off against Dogg (Kid Rock) and others before coming to terms with his own familial destiny. Following his incisive HBO debut, Dancing in September, director Reggie Rock Bythewood approached Biker Boyz as a modern Western, but it's really just a strutter's ball with polished chrome and tailpipes. Meagan Good, Lisa Bonet, and Vanessa Bell Calloway provide sexy feminine wisdom, badly needed in a movie that's all flash and precious little substance. --Jeff Shannon

Drag Bike Racing

If you're under 5-foot-3 and shopping for a bike, you'll be pleasantly surprised at how many bikes really do fit you. And chances are, one of those bikes is going to reach out and knock you over the head with its styling, its "cool factor," and its general overall suitability. But, just in case the bike that speaks to you the loudest doesn't fit you perfectly the way it sits on the salesroom floor, there are a few simple modifications ("mods") you can keep in mind that just might solve one of two key height-related problems.

Problem 1: You can't "flat-foot" the bike.

In order to have the most and best control over the bike at slow or no speed you should be able to sit in the saddle with the bike pulled upright off the kickstand, knees bent, your feet planted flat on the floor. If you're up on the balls of your feet, or worse, tip-toed, you won't have complete control when you roll up to a stop and put your foot down or when you're straddle-walking the bike backwards out of the garage or into a parking spot.

Solution: Lowering the bike.

You can physically lower the bike itself a couple of ways, but they both involve changing the suspension components - namely, the shock absorbers. On most bikes, the shocks are mounted to the frame and to the swingarm. You can purchase a special bracket that will allow you to loosen the mounting bolts, slide the shocks to slide the shock back an inch or so, bringing the frame-with-fender down a bit closer to the tire in the rear, which might be enough to get you flat-footed.

You could also replace the stock shock absorbers with shorter shocks, bringing things down even further. If you go this route, make sure you don't go so short that the tire is likely to rub on the underside of the fender when the shock is compressed (i.e., you hit a bump, or add a passenger or luggage.)

If that's still not enough, you can also purchase a kit that lowers the front of the bike by changing the springs inside the fork tubes. Again, make sure you aren't creating a situation where parts of the bike will rub together that weren't intended to do so. Alternate solutions: You might be able to flat-foot the bike just by changing out the seat. A bike with a wide seat will spread your legs farther apart before they head toward the ground. A narrow-profile seat might give you just enough extra room to get you flat-footed. And, if you're just up on the balls of your feet instead of tip-toe, it's possible you could get by just by purchasing boots with a taller heel and sole.

Problem 2: You can't comfortably reach the handlebars.

Obviously, being able to reach the handgrips is key to comfortably operating and controlling the bike. From a design stand-point, lots of bikes today have "drag bars" - drag-racing style handlebars that come out in a nearly-straight line from the triple tree, extending left and right but not coming back toward you. These bars can force the shorter rider to hunch forward and reach way out to the right and left, putting body weight on your wrists and causing a burning sensation between the shoulder blades after only a short ride. (Kind of like that old ten-speed you used to ride with the curled-under handlebars - which, not coincidentally, was also originally designed for aerodynamic racing.)

Solution: Different handlebars, or pullback risers.

Depending on how far you have to hunch forward, you can try a couple of things here. Pullback risers are little chromey bits you put in between the tree and the bars to bring the bars up and back toward you in inch-increments. Small risers can make a big difference, so ask your dealer to help you determine how much pull-back you need.

You can also try a different handlebar style altogether. Buckhorn bars (and their next-bigger cousin, mini ape-hangers) bring the hand grips back toward you, and put your hands at an angle on the handgrips so your body sits back a bit and your weight rests on your butt and lower back instead of your wrists. Full ape-hangers will likely raise your arms above shoulder-level, which looks "old-school cool" but might make the upper arms ache. Finally, beach bars form a wide curve back toward the rider - like using half a steering wheel from the city bus. These have a distinct look and bring the grips back toward you, with your hands in a straight position similar to the drag bars (but probably with better weight distribution). Of course, if choosing different bars you'll want to consider the design and look of your bike, too. Beach bars might look hot on a wide cruiser, but they'll likely look out of place on a narrower bike.

An important caveat here is that adding risers or changing the bars could also mean you'll need longer or shorter clutch control cables and/or brake lines to accommodate the adjusted distance.

Shorter riders needn't fear the bike-shopping experience. While it's true that making these modifications will change the final price of the bike, it's also true that making a bike fit you perfectly is actually part of the process - and part of the fun!

Some Tips Before You Buy a Sports Bike

If you want speed in your life then go for sports bikes. However, not only these bikes are known for speed but also for excellent acceleration, maneuverability and deceleration. Before you go and buy a sports bike here are some things that you should know about these bikes.

Salient features of sports bikes

  1. In sports bikes you get a powerful engine for helping you drive faster and a light body which is easy to control
  2. The braking system of the sports bikes have both brake pads and multi-piston calipers and each are clamped into rotors
  3. Advanced adjustment system and materials are found in suspension so that both stability and durability can be achieved
  4. The tiers in front and rear are larger and wider than the other motorcycles so that you can get more speed and good angles.
  5. If fairings are used in sports bikes then they are shaped in such a manner that the aerodynamic drag is reduced to a large extent

There are various types of sports bikes available in the market and these are:

  1. Entry level: These are for those who want to practice before riding on an excellent sports bike. These are inexpensive bikes and are also lightweight and durable. The engines are made in such a way that they offer you both longevity and durability. The best part of these bikes is they are perfect for riders of any height and weight.
  2. Small capacity: The engines of these bikes range between 125 cc to 400 cc and are available as both 2 strokes and 4 strokes cycles. They are ideal for the riders with short statures and with light weight. These bikes also have short wheelbase and lightweight thus making the handling easier and similar to the high capacity sports bikes
  3. Hyper sport: Those of you who prefer bikes with high speed acceleration for them these bikes are ideal. The motors that you would find in these bikes range between 1000 cc and 1400 cc. These are heavier than the super bikes and therefore provide excellent stability
  4. Super bikes: These bikes are made for those who want to compete in bike racing. These bikes have larger engines ranging between 800 cc to 1200 cc.
  5. Super sport bikes: These bikes are also built keeping in mind the need of the racers. The power of the engines range between 600 cc to 800 cc.
  6. Sport touring: If you want to go for long rides then you should opt for sport touring bikes. Though these bikes are less powerful and heavier in comparison with the other sports bikes, they are preferred because of the comfort that they offer. They offer storage facility and make you feel comfortable while riding.

What is best drag launch RPM, clutch release, etc., for ’07 Gixxer 1000 with a 10.0k to 12.3k rpm power band?

The bike: 2007 GSX-R1000; completely stock (for now); 159.7 hp@12,300 rpms; 75.7 lbs-ft@10,000 rpms.
The rider: 5'5" (cannot put heels on ground) & 155 lbs. While experienced with dirt bikes and smaller street bikes, new to in-line, 4-cylinder, 1-liter crotch rockets.
Need recommendations for drag race launch rpm, clutch release, etc.
ALL input will be greatly appreciated!
THANX!

If your new to liter bikes I wouldnt suggest trying to launch that bike, and if you do start in the low rpms and just work your way up slowly, I have a friend thats been riding a r6 for about 3-4 years and I used to see him doing 200+yard wheelies and burnouts, he just got a new R1 and (wisdow, not fright) hes riding around like hes new to the game considering what he what he was doing before and even still I saw him leaving his parents house about a week ago and even though it didnt look like he was trying to take off that fast you could see the front end gettin floaty on him, not really a wheelie but it was like the tire was just barely touching the ground
