    Miles???

    I'll see what I can do. I don't have photos of the process. I can take pictures and explain what I did though. They are a little high, so not like stretched out riding. Imagine riding a chopper made for a midget:BLAA:They do give a different seating and leg position for us with stiff knees...

    Miles???

    Just turned 40,000 today:cheer: Shooting for 100,000, but don't know if I'll make it before getting another bike. I will keep this one though:thumbup: Most of it is commuting miles (probably 75%). Bought the bike new in 2008 and used it for year round commuting for first 4 years. Now I'm...

    Your Rider Resume

    I took the Oregon training in the beginning of 2008 and passed. With that I went to the DMV and got the endorsement. As soon as I got that out of the way I bought and rode a 1983 CB550 for around 3000mi in the first few months. I dropped it a few times getting use to the weight. After...

    The first place is the Tillamook Cheese Factory in Tillamook, Oregon. Second is the Women's Forum Outlook in the Columbia River Gorge. Third is the Horse Tail Falls in the Columbia River Gorge. I took these pictures before the challenge was posted so they don't count. I just wanted to post...

    My Top Speed

    I voted #2 before reading the hole the question. Usually I ride within 10mph of the speed limit in town. Anyway, I've had it a little past 125mph doing a top gear roll on from 70mph. I loved how it built up then when it hit 100mph it took off like a rocket until I let up on the throttle:thumbup:.

    I've seen the first one before, but not the hole thing. These commercials need to be on American TV too.

    HElP! fz6 or R6s

    For mostly commuting with a little mountain road and touring time I would definitely go with the FZ6. I've had mine for a little over a year and a half. most of my riding is in town commuting, but I love to go ride the country roads and could do a 300 mile day with no trouble. Once I rode...

    Top Speed???

    Re: Top Speed I did a little over 125mph at an undisclosed place and time. I did a top gear roll on and the thing I really liked was the build up. Once I hit past 100mph it started accelerating at a much faster pace until I let up. quite the experiance:rockon:.

    Thinking about buying a scooter.....

    I have an old Honda Elite 50 that I used to get back and forth to work 12.5 miles each way before I got my motorcycle license. Everyone thought I was crazy, but it is a hell of a lot more fun then a car in traffic and the mileage is unbelievable. If I had to choose between my FZ6 and the...

    Ever been laughed at for "gearing up"??

    Good to hear of someone else who rides with their son geared up. I take my 8 year old son on rides with me all the time and it is full gear or no go. I haven't gotten any comments from people at work. Being in Portland, Oregon which is a big bicycle city, they ride bikes and understand the...

    How long had you ridden before you crashed.

    Had my FZ6 for about 8 months when I went down this spring. I'd been riding for a little over a year at that point. I was in a turn lane behind a van and the light turned green. We both started to go, I got into the lean, then the van slammed on its brakes. Instead of straightening out and...

    who would you vote for and why?

    I'm an independent too! I'll vote for Paris Hilton, after seeing her ad. Her energy solution was thought out well.:rof: My vote will probably also come down to VP picks.
