HAAARRRUMPH!!!!!! :thumbup:

I have a pair of ARCs as well. I like them but I'm looking to upgrade. The good: fit, large velcro pockets on the front, easy on easy off. The bad: the knee "armor" is kinda crappy and doesn't stay in place, thin textile (questionable protection), not waterproof. They are decent overpants...

It looks like he was hurting pretty good when the officer ran up to him- I wonder if he got up quickly due to adrenaline rush? Also looks like he's wearing jeans.... yikes. Yup, another reason for ATGATT if you needed one.

A million guy points for me. I actually put together a spreadsheet for my wife that justified the "save gas $$$" argument when I bought my first bike. My bike owning buddies sure got a kick out of it. :D

I used to watch Superbikes but after a while it gets old- same stuff every week. Unfortunately you see too many younger riders stunting on public streets and highways- crazy. Gear up and find an empty parking lot!

Brilliant! :thumbup: But damn; at 140 dbs, don't your own ears hurt/explode after pulling the trigger on that thing??

No lie- a few weeks ago I saw some idiot on a scooter, one of the bigger ones, going around 70 mph down I-87 here in upstate NY. He was wearing boat shoes, no socks, shorts, and a tee shirt. But that ain't the half of it..... On the back, hanging onto the grab rails, was I presume his son...

Man I hope not! I rode a 2005 FZ1 prior to getting my FZ6 and that thing was a BEAST. It was easy to ride slow and smooth, but when you gave it a little, it reacted immediately and asked for more. I think I held on to that thing more tightly than any other bike. Try to ride both bikes- I...

My thoughts exactly. This is the bike I wanted originally but the cost + insurance was INSANE. It's such a great bike. I think you should have kept the white wheels though- they looked SICK.

Really? I haven't noticed any discomfort. Of course, I am coming off of a Suzuki DRZ400S which basically has a dirt bike seat so the FZ seat feels like a pillow in comparison. I absolutely love this bike- 340 miles so far and I'm definitely getting smoother with each ride. Can't wait to get...

Nice! I just bought the same exact bike a few weeks ago.

Clifton Park, NY (Exit 9 off I-87)

Almost always. I try to find the route with the most twists, turns, and optimal traffic flow so I can keep on the throttle. :thumbup:

Great post- you beat me to it.

:thumbup: YES! A pair of .50 caliber machines guns or perhaps grenade launchers. I'd use them to rid the world of all jack-offs that drive at or below the speed limit!
