blue 08 with dark smoke puig and leo vinces!

Welcome! I saw a red 07+ fz6 riding in Orland on Monday and a silver 06- parked on..31st east of 90/94?? in Southside Chicago this week. WHO ARE YOU!??! LOL Let's ride sometime!

Since this is your first bike, I would echo everyone above and HIGHLY recommend starting on the 250, even if only for a few months. You'll be able to hone your throttle control and riding skills much easier on the ninja because you can actually row through the gears at reasonable speeds (the fz...

PM'ed. :)

Where do you all usually like to ride around here?

Another one to look at is the HJC RPS-10. You can find one for $199 shipped (in Mugello graphics, $375 for ben spies SE) on newenough. It's the lightest Snell2010 helmet and a big step up for HJC. Comes with a pinlock shield and chin curtain too! The one I got was made Nov 2010, so plenty of...

Yay Chicago riders! Western Suburbs/Southside Chicago here. Let me know if ya'll want to meet up.

LOL yup! Works real well on the open-road tolling lanes here. No curbs! =P

Thanks for the pics Joe! I'll try it out tonight. I agree with Joe. I love that the 20L makes the bag able to eat up a LOT of stuff, even though it doesn't look that big from the outside. The waterproofing is awesome, rode with it a few times in the rain, but it does make taking things...

@Joe: I loved my Kriega US-20 when I had it on my previous bike, but I'm still stumped as to how to mount the straps to the subframe in a way where the bag wont flop around or the straps too recessed to hook my alloys on easily (or maybe I'm just an idiot...:D) How did you mount the straps on...
