(a little off topic but) exactly why I don't "split" - drivers see mcyclists "splitting"/sharing lanes, they assume they (eventually) assume they can too. I have had cages "share the lane" at these types of intersections before and have gotten in the habit of making sure I'm slightly to the...
There's a shop right on route 9 westbound (Shrewsbury - Performance Cycles) that should be able to help you out (?). There is also "Motorsports Int" a little further west (Auburn, RT20). Both have internet sites...hope that yelps.
2001 Toy Taco Limited (manual; 4x4) with 200,850 miles as of yesterday. Except for the first 4K miles, have always had the oil changed at around 10-15K miles (and no "reminder" lights). Used to change the oil on previous vehicles myself but since buying the Taco, always used the stealership to...
Hmmmmm...the quote, "...because they can.." pops to mind (LOL).
Speaking of which, I saw an interesting little side note in the Sunday paper. MA is looking into a) repealing the helmet law and (the one that really caught my eye) b) enacting (and enforcing) stricter noise suppression laws for...
'kay, now that I've "fessed up" :D I'm really curious who bought my FizzyWhizzy??? It was gone inside of 2 weeks after I traded it in (I think) - the dealership is in Auburn, MA. I'm not callin' ya out on the internet (so to speak :thumbup:) just curious...hope "he" serves you well and you...
Yup...that thar's what I moved to earlier this year. 2011 w/ABS...more comfortable (for me), smoother when shifting gears (though I still manage a "clunk" once in a while - to remind me of the FZ6 I suppose :D) manually adjustable wind screen and (TA DA) drive shaft (wooHOO). A little more...
Heheheheheh...then 'splain to me why I've never had anyone "pull out in front of me" w/o my either "anticipating" it or being able to slow down enough - and I'm not talking "emergency stop/swerve" - to allow them to finish their "maneuver" (no matter how idiotic it may have been at the time)...
<SARCASM>
Spoken like true caring, courteous and respectful rider. :eek: :(

Yeah, let's hear you say, "...dont care if I blind anyone.." when you're recovering from a crash in your cage because some like minded motorcycle rider blinded YOU as they're coming toward you, and you...
Well,
It was fun (and I miss the "fizzer" already) but I moved on to a 2011 Honda NT700V ABS.
So far, other than the "ooomph" in the RPM range, of the FZ6, it's more in line (i.e., "comfortable" for sport touring) stock, than what I ended up with the FZ6 after all the $$ mods/"farkles"...
Ditto (and I'm an ex Marine - '75 - '79). I think, more generally, what you said probably could apply to "ex military/MPs" (?) who leave active duty and immediately become a LEO. One of my pet peeves is the militaristic/"SS storm trooper" appearance and mannerisms they maintain once they...
But those HD riders are so B.A. and "cool"; how DARE you (LOL). I wish I had the psychic power to kill those idiots engines. There is a HD/"cruiser" rider nearby who makes it his/her mission to wake everyone on the street every morning around 5:30 AM; there's also a squid with LOUD pipes who...
Ahem, while it's not specifically a "license", I think that's already in place - here in MA, it's called a "Title 5 Inspection". Seriously, I'm not "s.....g" you (pun intended :D)...I think most states have similar codes/laws in place.
