You must be a great swimmer. Those are similiar statistics for Michael Phelps.:cheer:

My friend carries his 30lb dog on a special tall tank bag. The dog climbs in and lays down inside the tank bag with her head sticking out. She wears special goggles. She LOVES being on the bike and has never tried to jump out until she is allowed. He does say though that he has to ride much...

I rode an R6 before getting my FZ6, and wouldn't go back. In comparision: R6 = too twitchy; FZ6 smoother ride R6 = too cramped riding position and don't like being bent over; FZ6 = more comfortable R6 = not enough windscreen for touring; FZ6 = can buy tall windscreen which works great R6...

At 5'2" I wish I had the problem of being too cramped. I have a custom corbin seat shaved down to the seat pan and still I can only touch the ground with my tip-toes. I also had to install bar risers, which actually work really well. I have lowered many bikes and wish I could also lower the...

Has anyone lowered their FZ6? I have lowered other bikes with a lowering 'dog bone', but can't seem to find one for the FZ. Also, if I lower it will I still be able to use my center stand?

My '04 buzzes horribly around 7K. Has anyone done anything to reduce or elliminate the buzz of the older models?

I'm not getting any juice to the switch, so maybe it's the relay. Heading to store tomorrow to get replacement since I don't know how to test whether it's any good. ??

both low and high beam lights don't work. I checked the bulbs, OK. All turn signals, tail lights, brake lights, horn all work fine. There's a small black box 1"x.75"x.75" which I think might be a turn signal relay part # FE246BH, but not sure. When I test the fuse it tests bad, but I put in...

Faster Silver One Of course I didn't get the blue one, I got the FASTER silver one.

OK, so there's a Babes on Bikes section.............How about a Studs on Bikes section for us ladies.

That's History to you guys. In 1915 Della Crewe rode her new Harley-Davidson V-twin from Waco, Texas to Milwaukee and onto New York City, a trip of 5,378 miles. In 1929 Vivian Bales toured the country for 78 days and covered 5000 miles on her new 45-twin D model Harley-Davidson...

Corbin seat I just noticed that you live in NH, which is a long way from the Corbin factory. I went to the factory and got a custom Corbin. I would recommend finding someone in your area to do a custom seat. Corbin was very hesitant about putting so little foam in my seat but I wanted it as...

Corbin seat I am 5'2" and my Corbin gave me an extra 1-1/2". I used the original seat pan rather than the Corbin pan and that helped by making the seat narrower in the front. I also put the shock on the lowest setting which allows a little more sag; I weigh 125. I also added bar risers which...

more on leg length Wow, picking the FZ as your first bike. Most people start off with a 250cc or 500cc. I've been riding since I was 13 (that's 38 years, OUCH). I started riding dirt bikes with my older sister's boyfriend, then bought my first bike at 16: a Yamaha 125 street legal dirt bike...

Seat Height What is flat-footed? I'm 5'2" and I'm lucky if I can get one toe down. I have a custom Corbin seat that allows me to sorta touch the ground. I want a 33" inseam in my next life!! But, once the bike is moving it doesn't matter how tall you are. Plus I'm pretty good at not coming...
