In regards to the contact patch, is it better to have a larger contact patch or smaller? IMO, a larger patch means a larger wheel and tire to try and turn, using up valuable torque ft/lbs. Also, it means less pressure on the contact patch (lbs/sq inch) which equates to less friction between...

Wrightme43, I respectfully suggest that the mud slinging started towards the bottom of the following post. Granted my rebutal was walking a fine line, but never did I cross it. Your point has been made and taken, but please take a step back and re-evaluate the situation and see where the licks...

:ban: Wrightme43, I've read the rules, can you tell me where I broke them? I simply stated that I question the mans views on racism. I am guilty of stereotyping Formula154 as a gun loving war monger from the south, however I did not publicize it. If you find that offensive, you may want to...

Well Formula154, I'm glad you promted me to look at the UN Charter... I think you should clarify how Article 27 reads, that is, the UN Security Council needs 9 affirmative votes of 15, 6 of those must come from all permanent Security Council members (China, France, Russia, the UK, the US...

There is a clear pattern here... all the US members seem to think the Iraqi invasion was warranted, and the rest of the world thinks the US invasion of Iraq was self serving. :canada: This thread is reflective of the brain washing that the US people and the rest of the world has endured...

I was at the Toronto bike show today... IMO, the FZ6R looks sweet!!! The first thing that catches your eye is the new fairing and WINDSHEILD. I personally like the fairing look, the smaller windshield will not give you any protection, but it also won't give you any turbulance that the FZ6...

chances are you used an imperial allen key for a metric bolt... the light connectors are behind the little side fairing, after the wires run thru a chase under the tail.

Okay... there are 6 of us so far. Is there any way of contacting members as a group? It would be good to organize a goup mailing list if that is possible. It could be posted on the general thread closer to when ever we do the ride.

Good point Vegas... Congress is worried about their stock and retirement savings while the rest of us 'working people' worry about a roof over our head.

So I'm thinking with a little effort there are enough southern Ontario FZ riders we should do a meet. :welcome: Not necessarily this year, though it could be, but if we plan for 2009 people from farther away could book hotels. We could meet somewhere central like Orillia... couple of hours...

Theres the mentality... there is no $700 billion in the economy... its actually $700 billion short... the US of A would be borrowing it from other countries. I personally think the American dollar is still over inflated. Watch what happens when the bailout occurs... Someone already said it...

So your home would finally have REAL value instead of an inflated value... I think we call that a market correction. Someone said that the bailout would cost each American $2333... actually you can probably triple that by the time it is actually paid off by the American people and the world...

Hmmm, maybe the rest of the world wasn't just jealous and loathing... the USA is self righteous and self serving. :Flip: This by no way a shot at the Ameriacn people as much as it is against the American system and society. Mark my words, your gun laws will be your next downfall by way of...

THANK YOU!!!!!!!:cheer:

The real problem is that gov't has no business getting involved in private sector businesses. When they do it creates a false economy. Somebody mentioned that the Canadian housing market is on the verge of calapsing... this is not the case, but it is slowing. The reason for this is because...

ummm, I post sometimes... do i need credits?

were you an FZ6 owner before? if so how do you find the riding position? any preferances over model years (05-07)?

Wholesome games like Pong, Pacman, Asteroids and Track&Feild. Those were the days.:rolleyes: Its not only the parents fault but also societies fault... what ever happened to "it takes a village to raise a child"? oh, thats right, the parents told you to "its none of your business, f@ck off...

okay, here is what I have gathered over the years... 1) high compression motors (10:1 or better) require higher octane fuels due to compressing the fuel makes it more volitial. 1) low octane fuels burn give less of an explosion and can predetonate, which will actually make your bike run...

All of this thread is useless anyway... my CANADIAN son knows something you guys don't. Last night I'm flicking thru the channels and come across the opening skit of SNL. My 6 year old daughter says "whos that?", my 10 year old son replies "President Obama".:cheer: LMAO! I started quizing...
