Hey Bruce, No I wasn't jumping on any band wagon or anything like that. I was raised that way, the Military re-enforced it and I try to live the take care of your own house first rule. That saves me from having to worry about everyone else sometimes ;). You had a few points I didn't agree...

I'll take a shot at this. Doesn't mean I am right but hey I will give it a shot. You are probably right you wont lose much performance wise. I am not a real technical guy. I personally just like the sound of my Akrapovic's. :rockon: That being said I agree with you seeing this as a slippery...

Bruce, I understand your passion about trying to affect the problem before it becomes one. :thumbup: In an ideal world it just may work. My suggestion to you since you seem to think my statements and maybe a few others are a bit off, would be to start a grassroots campaign and get us involved...

I guess the point of this to me is a personal preference. 1st are the after market exhausts for our bikes really that loud. Yes 14,000 rpm will make some racket. Other than a full redline run is it really that offensive to even the most average of folks? No matter what your exhaust car or bike...

Has anybody installed this on their FZ6? I just received mine from PJ's. Looks simple enough to install but I wanted to make sure I am doing it correctly. There is a good size gap around the circumference of the new cap. I was wondering if I was supposed to install the original gasket along...

Congrats on the sighting. Very cool on your reaction also. Hockey season can't start soon enough. I was lucky enough to meet Brian Gionta (New Jersey Devils, but just signed with the Canadiens). He was so cool he took the time to play some table hockey with my son and sign hockey jersey. i...

Glad to hear your back on the bike. The ride you took had to be great. I visit Saratoga a couple of times a year for conferences and Albany 5 or 6 times a year for conferences. I love Saratoga, someday I will ride for pleasure up there. The route from Watertown over to Lake Placid is nice in the...

Hello All, Looking for those who may live in the San Francisco area. In town for a few meetings this weekend, going back Monday. Question is any quick suggestions on Motorcycle related stuff. Would love to maybe rent a motorcycle for half a day or just visit anything related. I do not have a...

Very cool feature, I added my location. Sorry though, Upstate New York.

I like my Urban Camo Kevlar Draggin Jeans so much I am going to purchase a second pair of regular style jeans also. Pricey, yes but short of all out race style leathers I can't believe there is much better. Of note, I have Sidi Vertigo's and wear Icon knee/shin armour. The latter keeps the pants...

I am a sometimes kinda revver. Purely selfish, I just love the sound of those Akro's. :rockon:

Hey all, Well I have worn my Shoei RF1000 for a few hundred miles and so far so good. I had worn a Shark RSi, with no real issues other than I believe it was to large for my skull. I did this based on that twisting the helmet on your head test and I could get a good 1/4 plus turn from it. So...

Hello all, 1st off thanks to those who took the time to respond. I ended going with the Sidi Vertigo's and they appear to be perfect. I say appear as they have about 500 miles to this point. Extremely comfortable including walks through stores and what not. One day I had them on for...

Re: whats your favorite Rock song? Just read this thread and thought I would put my two sense in. I love most of the hard driving stuff and enjoy finding stuff that you don't hear to often. My recent interest is a band called Konqistador. Sorry if its already been mentioned, if not here is the...

I did not want to hijack, shamrockers thread so this is similar, but I have narrowed my search. Choices are all Sidi. I am looking at the B-2, Strada Evo air, and the Streetburners. My questions mostly center around does anyone have these? Is one a better all purpose choice? The pros and cons...
