    Hanging It Out There

    Some genius roadwork crew cut a trench out of the pavement and filled it with gravel on my favorite country road near my house. It goes across the whole road and is about 2ft wide, but they didn't fill it with gravel all the way so there was about a 3 1/2 inch lip on either side. Did I mention...

    Has your bike ever hit the ground?

    Mine is a naked that wasn't a drop conversion. The old man whom had it before me just wanted a naked so he striped it brand new and sold off the fairings. Looked at the post above mine..... Where I live there are deer everywhere, went for a 5 hour ride in Brown County this morning, nothing...

    Moving to Chicago.... keep my fz6?

    If you've ever done some urban riding you'll be fine. I'd try to aviod the interstate at all cost near there however. It's a beautiful city that rivals new york in a lot of ways. You won't have a long riding season and the wind off of the lake will SUCK some days but I imagine there is some nice...

    Need help buying a used FZ6

    That's a pretty good price. Might be able to talk him down a bit due to the miles. The steering bearings going bad is a pretty common problem with these bikes, luckily it's really the only common problem they have aside from the midrange BUZZZZ. If the tires are "new" new I'd take it easy on...

    POLL: How much have you paid in SPEEDING tickets over the past 12 months?

    Wow, I really thought I'd be a rarity. Nice to see that people are riding safely. I have a 12 year safe driving record, it's worth it for fat safe driver discount on my insurance alone. I could insure a Ferrari for pennies at this point. I'd like to imagine that a cops ees this when they run my...

    When to Downshift into 1st

    I rarely engine break when coming to a stop, simply because it leads me to lazy braking. Never put it in first untill I'm right at the light.

    bike saftey

    Glad you are ok. I have Trex frame sliders also. Hope I never have to find out how well they work. Went for a ride at 4pm today and almost hit a deer. Unusual for them to be out on a road that time of day. Luckily a car coming the other way waved pretty franticly and I started looking around...
