Hi, Anybody got a notion where I can sell my 2006 FZ6? It's in amazing shape, front-end repacked, valves done, new Michelin Pilot 5s... ... I was gonna shine it up and park it at Squambucks on weekends, but COVID-19 has really put a hitch in that little plan. How would you get a bike you love...

The https://m-h-c.ca/ couple are upgrading to adventure-touring bikes, which means their trusty and well-maintained road bikes are now up for sale! STATS: One Royal Red 2006 Yamaha FZ-6. One owner, excellent condition: 60,575 Kms (mostly touring Kms). Michelin Pilot 5 Road tires (2019). One...

I've only ever dated guys who *LIKE* that I ride, whether they do too or not. It's a fairly easy rule to live by.

I don't use them. At all.

I have several theories about these drivers. (1) Poor depth perception. This person shouldn't be driving, of course. But because some ethnic groups and age groups are far more likely to fall into this category than others, and there's no constitutional way to write laws based on what...

I'm on my nice new FZ-6 now, but in 2005 I was riding a 20-year-old Honda 450. I got in the classic motorcycle accident (see the Hurt report at "The Hurt Report" ) where an oncoming car perceived my space as empty space and turned left in front of me, giving me nowhere to go but into their front...

Safety-consciousness and general well-preparedness is part of what goes into our responses, of course... But I find -- don't you? -- that when I pass another biker who's wearing some joke of a helmet, my esteem for them diminishes instantly. Yeah, you CAN go down without hitting your head...

Er... nope: the link doesn't work. Too bad: the positive feedback here made it sound promising.

Well, I'm relieved to see that I'm not the only one with this problem. My bike's under extended warranty: I'm going to see what my dealer can do. Maybe I'll print up this thread and bring it in...

A write off for my older Honda. "Minor" injuries to me. Injuries that took more than a year to abate to 80% recovery. It depends on how old you are, I guess, and how springy your joints are, when you get hit. I almost don't want to say I crashed, because a cager turned left in front of me...

I wear a nice stiff pair of Gaerne all-season touring boots. The model is called the Explorer: they come up just above my mid-shin (I'm 5'10"), they're waterproof, and they have NO ZIPPERS and NO VELCRO. Once you've owned a few pairs of otherwise-decent riding boots, you'll understand why I'm...
