    What to See/Do at Grand Canyon?

    Hey guys, I'll be driving cross country with my daughter to get her (& her car) to San Diego State for grad school and we're planning to spend a day at the Canyon, actually an afternoon, night and morning. Any suggestions on what to see, do, or where to eat or stay for the night, would be...

    Shoei Transitions Shield for RF-1200 FINALLY SHIPPING!

    Well, it arrived yesterday. Mounted it but only got a short ride in the fading light, so it wasn't a good test. And today it's raining so I'll be in the car. Chris

    History of the Yamaha FZ6 ?

    I agree with Beetle, though I hesitate to put Wikipedia and "authoritative" so close in the same sentence. The info about the fueling, brakes, instrument cluster, fairing, and swing-arm seems to be accurate. Since I last looked at the wikipedia page, somebody removed the horsepower ratings...

    Tail of the Dragon again or someplace new? Thinking West Virginia

    I live in WV and I recommend it for a motorcycle vacation. I can't say much about any of the roads in other parts. I've only returned to riding a year and a half ago and most of my riding has been close-ish to home in Parkersburg, which is in the northwest part on the Ohio River. We have LOT of...

    Late Spring Trip planing PA WV and more?

    Not a problem. I also tend to try to fit a lot in. And family is important. Glad you enjoyed the roads!

    NY106 in Harriman State Park

    I just got back from a trip to NY to visit with the in-laws. This year, first time ever, I trailered my motorcycle for our once-a-year visit and explored the surrounding area. We were there from Monday evening through Saturday at noon. Except for Friday I only rode in the early AM so my dear...

    Late Spring Trip planing PA WV and more?

    Dude, Did you pass through and not check in? Tsk, tsk. If I remember correctly. the middle part of June was pretty wet. I took a day of vacation on Friday, 6/19 and Saturday with some people who came down from Michigan to ride SE Ohio and NW WV. It rained a bit on Friday and a lot on...

    Yes, we're very active. But you forgot to mention helpful, and friendly, and handsome, well - except Motogiro (that's a selfie that he uses as an icon). Blah Regarding your question about oil, I think Motul is one of the ones mentioned often. Just do a search on "shifting" or "rough...

    Welcome Gator! You picked a great bike and joined a wonderful forum! Please gear up (yes, I know its hot) and take a Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) returning rider workshop. I was away from bikes for 25 years and it really helped. And PLEASE get the youngsters to go for training. They're...

    looking for mirror options

    I have a 2008 and replaced my mirrors with the R6 version. They fit exactly on the mounting points and I think they are great improvement in looks and in rear view functionality. This is probably the post you saw...

    PR4 feeling heavy ??

    I'm running my first set of PR4's. Had them installed late last month so I'm still sort of getting used to them. My sense is that they seem easier to turn in, and past a point almost fall in almost too fast. But the Dunlop RoadSmart II's that they replaced were rather worn and they were feeling...

    2015 Ride to Work Day: 6/15/15

    In the US the organizing group calls for Monday to be Ride to Work DAY. This link to a site in the UK seems to be advocating for a WEEK. So, if that group is the main organizer, you'll still have Friday. ....sorry... Ride To Work Week
