Well I have a Contour and never even considered a GoPro ............ of course my main use is helmetcam video of off-road riding and racing. For me the form factor was the number one issue, although I am also completely happy with the Contour's ease of use, image quality , etc. The GoPro just...

I've always liked instrumentals for driving/riding tunes. All time favorites would be: Jessica - Allman Brothers Band Peace Pipe - Gary Hoey You could put either one of those on "repeat" and go for hours. Of course I have a nice 60 tune mix of all instrumentals that I listen to a lot too.

I'd take one XL (my vote), possibly two depending on what colors are finally offered. I like the idea of a white shirt, and as I mentioned in the original thread, I think Navy Blue looks better than Royal Blue in a t-shirt.

I too drive at or just above the speed of the traffic around me when I'm on the freeway, and around here that is way faster than I would normally drive. My rule of thumb for avoiding tickets has always been 10% over the posted limit, so I voted "Other". This rule works pretty well on the...

You know, when I stop at a traffic light and don't take my feet off the pegs my bike tips over! Any ideas on how to remedy this deficiency in the FZ6? I was thinking maybe some kind of outriggers mounted near the rear of the bike, perhaps with some small wheels on them. Or maybe just get one...

+1 on the above. Maybe it's because I've raced 2-Stroke dirt bikes for years, and you can set up a YZ250 to come on like a light switch, so I've never noticed that the FZ6 has any throttle issues. In my mind it is all about throttle control.

"Does a motorcycle go where its rider looks? No; this is a common misconception ..........." This concept is not meant to be absolutely literal, rather is meant to explain the phenomena known as "Object Fixation". Some examples: In off-road riding on a rocky trail, if you focus on that big...

If this is the design you're going with for the back add me to the list for one XL. I like the idea of just the tuning forks logo for the front (left pocket location). Black on white or white on black, either way sounds great. Of course white on a navy blue shirt would probably be my first...

I'm not sure if they are actually different or not, which is why I also said that I neglected to go through the whole fitting process. I didn't feel the pressure point until I cinched down the chinstrap to really completely check the fit. When I tried the standard model on at the shop I didn't...

The Best: Sam Adams - Boston Ale ............... Mendocino Brewing - Red Tail Ale .... Kona Brewing - Longboard Lager ..... Sierra Nevada Brewing - Pale Ale .. Anchor Brewing - Anchor Steam Beer .... and so many more, including the home brew I used to make ...... The Worst...

Finally got home and got the PayPal payment sent, late meeting tonight had me out until about 10:00 PM Pacific (PM sent too). Thanks for making these available, the pictures in your original post look great!

I'll take one Blue XL. Thanks!

Great deal on a very nice helmet ........... if they fit your head. I got a great deal on a blue one, beautiful helmet, super light, and the interior is really comfortable, until I cinch down the chin strap. Had a terrible pressure point on my forehead that wasn't noticeable until it was...

I just got my new 2009 FZ6 a few weeks ago and decided this was the one must do mod. I received the wire harness last week from DB43 and got it installed last night. What a difference riding to work this morning (dark country roads at 5:30 AM)! Not only does it light up the road much better...

New 2009 with 600 miles on it (it was the dealer's demo, which meant that the Sales Manager rode it as his occasional commuter) for just under $5800 OTD. Perfect, already broken in and the 600 mile service done. :thumbup:
