It has been so long I can't even remeber the last post I did, probbably 3-4 years ago. Life (mainly my job) got in the way and free time spent on forums became scarce. A week ago I found an old FZ6-forum T-shirt, and I thought of everyone here. While I won't be as active as I once was, I...

I took off on Thursday and went for a nice day ride to the driftless zone in western Wisconsin. I met up with my cousin who lives in St. Paul. We had a beautiful day!! Rode around near Tomah and headed for Wildcat Mountain State Park. Cty Road A outside of Tomah.

I do not know of this has already been posted, so sorry if it has. I like this line of thinking, don't get mad, don't get even, get this instead. Anti Cager Ballistic Missile System YouTube - Motorcycle Rocket Launcher

Well this past weekend the season officially ended, at least for me. So before the covers were placed on, I snapped a photo. The FJR is a friends, the way cooler red FZ6 is mine:D, and the less cool blue one is my brother in laws (JaysFZ6). The bikes will be dry and cozy until Spring!

So I had the Diablo Stradas put on my bike, and here is my impressions after 200 or so miles of scrubbing in. I can not describe how much better they are over the OEM Dunlops!! Of course right after I put them on and thoroughly clean my bike, I get caught in a downpour. They handle the rain...

2007 Stock FZ6 Seat For Sale ***SOLD*** I have a used in good condition stock seat for sale. I bought a new Corbin seat and no longer need the stock seat. There are no blemishes on the seat, and it was used for about 3100 miles. I tried to find a going price on Ebay, but they ranged from...

I was all set on ordering some Bridgestone Battlax BT021 tires when my local independent shop told me he had a sale on the Pirelli Diablo Strata tires. The Diablo Strata's would be $185 mounted!! Has anyone had the BT021 and the Diablo Strada's? I have had Pirelli tires before and liked...

I have an iPhone and listen to music while I ride. I am currently using the supplied Apple iPhone ear buds, which work OK. I can stop and start the music and skip songs. However, I have no volume control besides the one on the iPhone, which resides in my tank bag. Are there any form of...

Is anyone here planning on attending the Cycle World show this up comming weeekend? I will be leaving Oshkosh sometime Friday the 13th (weather permitting). Just wondering if any of the Midwest members might be attending.

I am looking to replace my stock seat with something more comfortable. I am looking at the Corbin gunfighter and maybe something from Top Saddlery. Any thoughts or opinions? I would like to spend less than $550 USD. Any other companies that sell complete seats? Thanks!!! Justin

Ok, so I finally decided to do a review on some of the smart battery chargers I have owned. This should help provide some guidance on the myriad of choices out there. I will list the charger, then give a brief description of what it is supposed to do, and what it actually does in the real...

I have a Fisher & Paykel AquaSmart washer (model WL26CW2) that just started doing something weird. We recently had a power dropout (power off for a second or two) while the machine was doing a cycle. Now when it finishes a cycle, it just starts the cycle again. The place I bought it from is...

I am in th market for a nice "point and shoot" digital camera. I am currently looking at the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5k on the high end of my price range, mainly due to the very nice display and the Leica lens. I do not need a digital SLR, as I have a very nice Konica 35mm SLR. I was also...

In this day of political correctness and over commercialization, the real meaning of Thanksgiving is often lost. On October 14th, 1789 George Washington gave the General Thanksgiving Proclamation. Abraham Lincoln gave his proclamation on October 3rd, 1863. Below are links to the original...

Well over the summer I had to top off the coolant bottle a few times. I could never find a source of a leak, until a week ago. I was out sweeping my garage (raining out) and noticed a drop of coolant under my bike. Upon closer inspection I noticed coolant running out of the spark plug well...

I will start with a set up of the street. The street is in the city (Oshkosh) and runs north and south. There is a 10 ft wide median between the north and south lanes. The lanes are rather wide as there is parking on the curb side(s). The speed limit is 25 mph as there are a lot of side...

I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this, but I guess it can be moved. Since this weekend is Memorial Day, I just want to personally thank all of the men and women in Uniform who have, or are currently serving this great country. Your service is what makes this country a great...

Well yesterday after years of debating, I finally bought a new 07 Candy Red FZ6. Unfortunately, it is 10 F :( here in WI so the dealer will keep it crated until April. This forum was a blessing for finally narrowing down the decision, so thanks!!
