- 1978 Old Wing (dad's)
- 2012 Victory Boardwalk (dad's Pirate...
So I've been seriously considering trading the fz for something a little larger. The 2014 VFR is confirmed for the US now but I don't know about spending 12500 on it when I can get an FZ1 for 10000 or less out the door brand flippin new.

as many of you know, helmet shopping is a major PITA. to the rest of you, watch this video twice. there's always a "what helmet" thread, and there's always my response of "Try Arai first." Now I know that some...

So this past weekend, the old man returned to team blue!
No pics because i haven't been home to see it yet, but it's a leftover, white '12 FZ1. Brand new, 0 miles at the time of purchase! Pretty much the same situation as my FZ6, 2 models old at time of purchase, leftover stock, running deals...

Note:
the return spring requires aftermarket rearsets
Im going to Draw-Up, yes draw, like with a pencil and paper and stuff, a new line of Motorcycles. So basically I'm going to start a small discussion as to what kind of specs people would like on each bike. Please leave some comments about what you would like to see of each kind of bike:

So i found out wednesday that my shoulder is going to need surgery. I have a superior labrum tear in my left shoulder. I was told that it should be a fairly simple surgery and that it could be done with a scope. However the recovery time is speculated to be 4 months. This causes a bit of an...

Are any of the Big4 (or BMW, Ducati, etc.) doing putting it on motorcycles? Ive been researching GDI (gasoline direct injection) vs Port FI for a project that im working on for one of my classes, and the only bike i know of with GDI is the Motus MST with the Katech KMV-4 engine (1600cc's of...
