I hope I can match/surpass your excellent record. So far, no tix on FZ6 with about 40K miles. However, I am ineligible for the "Never been dropped" Club. Year 2007 had a low-speed lowside on a SF hill that was not signed off and part of a road construction zone (uneven pavement).

100K miles=how many tix?

Get out of here. Please. I don't believe it. Some scooter riders don't even have to wear a helmet. How do they gas up? Are your sure? Even CALIFORNIA doesn't require riders to keep helmet on when gas filling. California: where Prop 65 stickers are everywhere (ridiculous law).

In the military, even officers salute back to privates. Now, you take some Harley riders (and also some others) ...it's almost like they're saying, "respect? Get a 'real' bike" or something. Still, Iwill initiate a wave to a Harley rider but not always. I used to know one HD owner who, probably...

In my mind, you really think too highly of yourself if you think that non Harley riders envy you and, therefore, don't deserve a return. For that reason, I often decline to initiate a wave to a Harley rider. BTW, many of them seem to really get excited (and expect others too, also) thundering at...

The FZ6 faring stay is a bear to bend back! I had to use a MAP torch to heat it up and still had to really, really work at bending it back

HB Motogiro!

We can land a vehicle on a comet but we.... can't get breakfast at McDonald's after 10:30AM on weekdays can't get a drink after 2AM in CA

Motorists: Please be careful when you throw your cigarette butts out the window! While you're at it, also please be careful when you text and drive! Wait....on second thought, please don't even throw butts out the window and DON'T text and drive! I work near an airport and this past...

Maybe so, but, let me tell you, Aussies don't strike me as being conservative. First of all, it seems that most of them are outside the country on vacation. Amazing how many I meet during my travels. Second, they know how to spell "P-A-R-T-Y."

It's similar, maybe, to sports cars executing skillful cornering techniques. How is a cop to assert that motorcyclists or sports car drivers skillfully maneuvering through turns are riding/driving unsafe? I mean, what would be the offense besides a generic "unsafe riding" offense or something...

I really like your contributions (mechanical and social). But, wow, you're saying the motor officers in FL, if not in emergency mode, must just sit in daily backed up freeway traffic lanes. Or, do officers get to ride in emergency mode if it's just a normal every-day traffic stand-still...

Ho hum, I split just about every day. It's a MAJOR advantage of riding instead of driving. But, motorcycles also have downsides, like having to gear up, no controlled climate, big luggage space, increased vulnerability to physical injury and more... Unfortunately, making something legal that...

I have rear brake ABS: my right foot!

I think planners should incorporate appropriate amount of spaces for motorcycles (and bicycles, too) near the front of the business. Too often, I see a bicycle rack located in a far off area where there is hardly anything or anybody nearby allowing anonymity to somebody wanting to contemplate or...

What, you mean we're supposed to change the oil? What are we supposed to do with the old stuff?

Better to wake up 15 minutes earlier. ;) Well, at least it's not another staged film fast scene where other drivers---it's obvious---are going extra slow while subject maneuvers around others. CHips, Adam-12, etc.

Where's Motogiro? He almost always chimes in on anything electrical.

No more here. I learned long ago that it doesn't take much to tighten too much and suddenly, you just made things worse. Just even a 1/2 turn too much on adjustment bolts can be too much.

Interesting job. Reminds me of when, 1970's, I rebuilt my Ford Pinto's front calipers. So far, I discovered sediment/crud on the bottom of fluid reservoir, and in bottom of piston cylinder. Some burnishing on piston surface. I wish I had pre-ordered pads, probably throw back on old ones for now...
