    Hey guys. Looking for my first real modern bike. I've got a 72 and 73 Yamaha, and a 84 Goldwing that I just bought that I'm trying to get going. Anyway. I'm thinking about a FZ6 for touring across country. Would this be suited for the job. Keep in mind I have not even rode the Goldwing, so I...

    Oil overfill?

    Hi, Firstly, sorry for the noob question. I think I've overfilled when changing the oil. When on the side stand, it's about 3mm over the top of the hatch area on the dipstick. I actually used about 3.4litres when changing it as I read the wrong figure - that's for a dry engine! Didn't...

    I need brighter lights, what works for you?

    I wasn't going to consider this because I was worried it would blind other road users, but while riding 2-up an hour ago I've had course to change my mind. When it's dark and rainy people keep pulling out on me and that's annoying. Did a short journey to the shops, about four miles, and for...

    Some Crowd sourced opinions and info

    Hey all- I have an interesting dilemma. A friend of mine mentioned to me last night about how he works on auto/motorcycle shows and has a buddy who runs the Suzuki booths (or displays or whatever they're called). Anyway, he said that if I want to get, basically any type of Suzuki bike, that I...
