    1st track day on R6

    I have been wondering when you were going post up about your FZ's little brother. :eek: You had mentioned that the bike was in pretty good shape, but I thought I remember you changing fork oil, what else was needed? It sure does look good. :rockon: Did you have a forward facing camera also?

    Who here has to pay for MSF classes, and how much?

    +1 on the above. I took mine through the Harley Rider's Edge program. One other thing regarding the BRC is that people that do have a fall on the course sometimes decide that riding is not really for them. Better to figure it out early before you make the investment or have an incident on the...

    More invisible than usual?

    I was always bothered by have just one light on and MG's relay kit was my first mod. I often tried riding with high beam on, but would get waved by the county sheriff to turn it off. If having both lights on decreases a driver's perception of distance, so be it, that's a risk I am willing to...

    More invisible than usual?

    +1 on the above. I ride the same same way I drive .....expect the unexpected, so when it happens your better prepared and have a tentative plan of action. Mind you this all happens in a span of 2-3 seconds. But the real benefit to this approach is you are not surprised and are able to just...

    What to do with an annoying neighbour..

    This is the best advice. Scratch what I posted previously. There are too many wackadoos out there and you don't want to get caught up in it, especially if you're in your shorts. [emoji85] Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using Tapatalk

    What to do with an annoying neighbour..

    I have a couple of ideas, find out where she lives and write her a note offering buy her a cup of coffee and chat. Maybe you could find out what's behind her behavior. If that doesn't work, suggest she replace her exhaust system with a tuned one, that flat 4 can sound pretty good. In my...

    Body position, skill, traction (loss of), lean angle = vid to discuss

    One of the things that I have learned in my nearly 55 years of living is that life is very short. We are all constantly reminded of this just by reading the latest news story. The Forum is comprised of members from many diverse professions and yet come together in this relatively informal...

    Add me to the list- rad fan is out

    I was thinking about an import (VW Scirocco) that I owned a number of years back when I had trouble with the fan sensor that would act up and not trigger the fan startup. After replacing the sensor a couple of times I ending up running the switch wires to the relay through the firewall so I...

    ~~Daily Feed, post what made you laugh today ~~

    I am not sure how they could place those "ramps" with a straight face.:confused:

    Increasing FZ6 Top Speed

    I would like to experience what 200 mph feels like, but my common sense says to do it from inside of a monocoque, but that's me..:don'tknow:

    Where is the donation thread?

    Thank you for your followup, but why would you personally cover the rest, unless it is just for the time being. Corporate Yamaha probably hired some green lawyer who is out to impress his superiors and noticed that there were potentially infringements on their trademark. :surrender: Anyway...

    250 vs the "big bikes" at Laguna Seca

    Was this a Track Day, and was that an instructor on the Ninja 250? He (or she) sure made it look easy especially through the corkscrew. What was the rider signaling to the Ninja at 4:10, pass, don't pass, or "kid just stay back your bothering me". I also enjoy having the inset of the rear view...

    Why is there an oil debate?

    That is a very lively site, many interesting topics being discussed. Maybe we could settle the debate and have Poll, conventional or synthetic, and a few brand options. I could not find one after a quick search. I have been using Yamalube, but now I think I would like to try synthetic this...

    To wave or not to wave, that is the unorigionally named poll...

    IMO you may need an exorcism because your new bike has definitely got you possessed. :spank: And.... Do think this will work for anybody riding the new niner???? :rolleyes:

    Body position, skill, traction (loss of), lean angle = vid to discuss

    I agree, however their extreme lean angle may have not allowed for the required acceleration to maintain their line through the corner. By this I mean that they may have exceeded the available grip, which may be tires or road debris. I would attribute this situation to those who slid out, not...

    Body position, skill, traction (loss of), lean angle = vid to discuss

    First thing that I noticed is that this area must be the scene of many incidents if people are camped out to capture somebody's mishap. I was very impressed and at the same time felt inadequate by the level of gear most were wearing, however two of my favorites were the scooter and Harley dudes...

    To buy or not to buy fz6

    +1 On the mess tire sealant makes inside the tire and the wheel. But I would be more concerned what caused the fairing damage, most likely something other than an accidental drop. If there are no maintenance records available you may have to be prepared to perform several service items at that...
