It's been a long time since I've visited this forum - traded my bike for a bagger a couple years ago (yeah, I'm that old). I was cleaning out some stuff in my garage the other day and I came across my old windscreen and thought maybe somebody might want it. It was the factory windscreen but I...

My FZ is a little over 3 years old now (an '06) and has just under 20K on the odometer. A couple weeks back I was looking at campsites in a campground - lots of stops & idling in neutral while I noted good looking campsites. As I was finishing up I noticed that my temp gauge was showing hot -...

Yeah, I know, he disappears off the face of the earth and then comes back looking for help... I've been going to school, working too much and lord knows what else - lame excuse. Here's my story on my search for pucks. I went to the grocery store on the bike a couple weeks ago. When I was...

Ashamed or proud, which should I be? Well today's ride was a bit more interesting than usual. I was going to take the long way round to meet the wife & her mom for lunch. To make sure I got a nice ride in this weekend I decided that going east then heading up to meet them would be a great idea...

So after my nice ride this morning I figured I do a couple of quick things around town and then go by SDHOM since they'd sent me a flier last week. It said they were going to have Jason Britton there and fun, prizes and of course the BIGGEST SAVINGS OF THE YEAR! Well I got there and there...

Went for a nice ride this morning and after about 50 miles I pulled into a park & ride to relax and water up. Saw a group of people hovering over a full dress HD so I walked over to see what was going on. They were looking at a slowly flattening tire on one of their bikes. In a couple minutes...

I was coming home from my weekend bike ride (the pedaling type -push bike?) and as I merged from the 5 North onto the 54 East in Chula Vista, I came side by side with about 60+ guys (mostly) on sports bikes. It was quite a line, two by two for about a quarter mile. They were behaving pretty...

OK, I admit I have been having adulterous thoughts about a BMW 800ST. So I was surfing Craigslist and out pops a couple of '07's with low prices. One has a couple thousand miles and a salvage title. The other one is at this link and has 9 miles and a salvage title. How much would it suck to...

First I apologize to those folks who live in parts of the country/world where it is still too cold to ride. But, in San Diego today, it is primo! Took off this morning about 9:30 and it was in the upper 60's. went into the east county and then up on Sunrise Highway. At 6000' it was a bit chilly...

My wife & I are thinking about visiting some friends in Reno this summer and I thought it might be more fun to fly her there and then I could ride the bike up & back. I've been looking at different routes would avoid as much freeway time as I could but still keep it around a two day each way...

I have 12K on my bike and I haven't really done anything with lubing the cables. I was going to buy a cable lubing tool like I used to use on my dirt bikes but I read an article that said if the cables are Teflon Lined that lubing them can actually be harmful to them. Does anybody know if our...

I have received a few PM's asking how I'm doing down here in San Diego because of concern over the fires. First I would like to say my family and I are doing alright, we never had to evacuate but the fire got within about 2 miles of our house on Tuesday morning. Second I would like to say thanks...

I am thinking about getting a Throttlemeister for my bike and I see that they have two different models available. The standard model and the heavy which is 2oz. per side heavier. It is also about 3/8 of an inch longer than the stock one. I'm looking for opinions from anyone ho has put a...
