    Fz6 Yamaha "Comfort Seat"

    I just got the comfort seat myself, haven't been on any really long rides work has been a little hectic as of late. Here is my take on it: Style - I like the look of it better than the stock seat Comfort - Seems a little better based on my recent few rides, but maybe it is become I am little...

    Just ordered the FZ1 handlebar :)

    Hmm you may want to have them check that price again. I just bought some and with shipping and tax they were 55 for the FZ6R bar.

    FZ6R or FZ1 Bars

    I am going with the FZ6R bar, dealer here let me take one out for a ride, I know it isn't the same stance but it felt pretty good on my hands. Who knows there may be a FZ6R bar up for sale if i don't like it, it was only 45 dollars so not like i have a ton of money invested. Thanks.

    GPS Question

    the GPS i use for my bike has given up the ghost, it was a Tom Tom designed for bikes. I have a Garmin that I use in my truck but I am not sure if I can use it for the bike, wondering if it will draw to much power. My old one was very basic but my Garmin has enough bells and whistles I am...

    I'm short

    I am 5'6" 145 pounds ... I am set at 3 cause thats where my bike was at. I also lean to left and hold my rear brake. I did get a comfort seat that lowered my hiney down a bit but sit on tippy toes with 2 feet down. You look more badass leaning to one side is what i figure ....

    What a day !

    All is good in the world. snagged new bulbs, and nothing sings like a motorbike with fresh oil and an open road. Also made my own grip puppies out of some handlebar foam designed for mountain bikes, 5 bucks at canadian tire. That and my newly aligned rear tire means almost new vibration other...

    Slow Races

    This was part of my MSC when I took it, we didn't have races so to speak but we were required to go 25 feet, then make a slow figure eight into a tight circle. Pretty tough to master, I do enjoy watching the Harley guys duck walk their bikes though ...

    What a day !

    just a brief recap of my day ... I thought it would be better I had a list of stuff that had to be done today, a couple oil changes and some overdue service on the bike. A 2012 Kenworth takes T6 synthetic oil which is what i needed for my bike. I volunteer to change the oil on the truck...

    First road trip of the year

    Just finished a minor road trip, first one of the year on the new bike. Still loving the FZ6 glad I came back to one. Clunky gear box, bizarre headlight setup "hey man is your bike winking at me" literally the best comment i have had in the last little while, all of that I can live with. Numb...

    Tank bags and higher wind shield.

    I have this same tank bag and I also have a laguna expandable tail bag. With those two and my backpack my 2 day runs have been no problem. Not sure about a long run though.

    Need a new helmet

    The Yamaha dealership let me bomb around with a HJC IS15 ?, helmet with a sunscreen built in... It was ok but no, not for me. SO I bought a new Arai - Vector 2 Thrill. Gotta love close out stuff. How does this solve my issue, well it doesn't. But it was a fantastic day out and why worry about...

    Need a new helmet

    I keep running into issues with my helmet, I have a HJC which I like. Yah its loud and maybe heavy but I like it. The issue i have is I always seem to have the wrong visor, clear on a sunny day, i wear glasses so shades mean I cant see. But if I have the tinted one then I am always riding in...

    What is it with people

    I took my MSF course a couple of years back, thought i knew what i was doing ... yup complete moron on 2 wheels. our instructors hammered home that we need to always think the car behind/beside doesn't see you. That course was the best money I spent, well other than the check I wrote for my...

    Meanwhile in Saskatchewan

    I split my time between saskatchewan, where my house is ... and bike and vancouver island where I am working and looking to move back to for a bunch of different reasons. I would dust it off but there was freezing rain, then snow ... just a little beyond my "ok lets give this a shot attitude"
