    My kid knocked my bike over

    Title says it all. I was on the roof hanging Christmas lights and I guess my wife figured my bike is an appropriate jungle gym for my 4 and 5 year old. It all looks like superfluous damage but my helmet was sitting on my tank and it's ****ed. The visor and shell are scraped to hell so I'm not...

    Driver purposely hits Motorcycle trying to pass

    I understand helmet cam footage documents him originally saying he did it on purpose, then coming up with the bee story when the gravity of the situation set in. I know I don't ride without a camera.

    08FZ6 for sale and the buyer backed out because of my price.

    I pay about a sandwich per month to insure the fz6. I really wanted a fz09 but was quoted a new iPhone per month to insure it.

    Hot hot hot!

    I wear it all. If I'm commuting home from work I drink cold powerade in the break room and take a stroll through the ice cream section of the warehouse on my way out and soak up some -30f goodness. I see guys on gixxers wearing gym shorts and a wife beater doing triple digits on the freeway...

    Is this the future of motorcycle parking at Wal-Mart

    They have a few primo spaces painted out into mc spots at the local Costco. That seems like even less of a motorcycle destination than Wal-Mart. At my work there are two really close MC spaces surrounded with curbs in the video monitored secured badge-in lot but most of the other riders park...

    Walter the maybe insane vlogger

    Me too. From his most recent video it sounds like he is once again without a bike?

    2015 Ride to Work Day: 6/15/15

    I wish it rained here. The ride in was nice - No traffic, it was about 90 degrees but still dark and I banged out my 31 mile commute in just over 20 minutes and walked in to work light on my feet and giddy. The ride home was 110 degrees and took well over an hour, this after working 14...

    Do You Own the Right Motorcycle?

    I've been considering getting a supermoto. I love my bike but I mostly hit the freeway at dark:30am and haul ass to work and then crawl home in the HOV lane during rush hour. I think a lightweight thumper on 17's would be more fun at lower speeds for purely recreational purposes. The fz6 is...

    New ideas about bike safety

    I was driving through a parking lot at 5mph and someone in a parked car 4 rows over threw their car in drive and floored the gas while simultaneously leaning over behind the dash to retrieve something from the passenger side footwell. It was dusk, they had no lights on, and the first indication...

    It's always nice to stay rubber side down during a learning experience!

    PCV + Autotune. Do I need an o2 sensor?

    :welcome: I get reliable operation to and from work stock.:don'tknow: Autotune well need a wideband o2 sensor. The kit is around $300 and you should be able to get an o2 sensor bung welded into your exhaust fairly cheap.

    Observation / modular helments always open.. .. ..

    I had a modular helmet. I would only lift the chin to put it on or take it off and to show my face at the guard shack at work. It was a cheaper helmet (bilt) and a piece of the face shield hinge/retainer broke so I replaced it with a better AGV full face.
