    Thinking / thought about selling your FZ6?

    I loved the FZ except for long trips, a trip up to Indianapolis couple years ago was tiring at highway speeds and constant revs over 7k. I plan on doing more road trips so wanted bigger displacement and better wind protection. Local dealership had a new '11 GSX1250FA with hard bags and top case...

    Which saddlebags fit the best? And provide the most storage?

    I have been using the Cortechs, either with or without the tail-bag, vice versa, and have found them to be very versatile. Total capacity is about 50 liters? I think. I did a week long trip from North Ga. to Mammoth Cave, Indianapolis, back down thru Cumberland and home with everything I needed...

    experience/ age record?

    Got my first scooter when I was about 12,be 57 this year and have lost track of the many different bikes I've ridden in the past forty-something years. I've owned about a dozen or so in that time,and I believe the fizzy is the most enjoyable to date.

    Ninja in the ditch

    Went for a ride up in the mountains with a few friends Saturday and as I led the group down the east side of Fort Mountain we encountered a lady waving her arms frantically in the middle of a series of nice switchbacks. I then noticed a guy lying in the ditch on the right hand side of the road...

    Motorcycle Accidents

    '71 a lady turned in front of me while I was "assuming" she had pulled off the road into a driveway and would not be cutting back across the road into the opposite driveway after checking her mailbox. Lesson learned: Assume that the worst will happen, the cager will not see me and pull out in...

    What a treat!

    I managed a four hour ride in local mountains both yesterday and today with a couple of riding buddies. Went up to Lookout Mtn. and watched hang gliders taking to the sky in what must have been thirty mph winds! Still a little sand and loose stuff in a lot of corners so it took total focus, but...
