    What type of cage should I get?

    If you are looking for something to tow/haul a bike then my vote would have to be for a truck. thats what they do,... I know they suck on gas, and ride like a truck, but a good truck can last you a long time, and riding the bike on nice days can help offset the cost of gas. You could fit a...

    New Grill!

    If you keep it around 250, it sounds like you know how to use your vents. But, just in case: If you open the vents all the way (or grill with the lid off) you will let in more air.

    Renting a Bike in California?

    San Diego is a good decision.:thumbup: I’ve lived here all my life and love it. If you have the time PCH (pacific coast highway) is a fun cruise. However I have to say my favorite part of the California coast line from a touring standpoint would have to be between Monterey, and Santa Barbara. If...

    2010 fz6 all new!

    I've never been on a bike with under seat exhaust vs. having the exhaust on one side or both. I've read/been told that the under seat exhaust make the bike have a higher center of gravity. That makes sense, but how noticeable is it? Looks like I agree with most: I also like the exhaust...
